Melee Ruleset (Apex 2014 Rulset) linked HERE with the following change:
*Modified DSR - Player may not return to a stage if they LAST won on it, but may return to any stage otherwise.

Project M Ruleset (APEX 2014 Ruleset) linked HERE with modification to stage picks:

Project M Stage Picking:
All stages on page 1 are legal
1. For game one, bottom row (neutral) stages are used. Players alternate banning on this row until 1 stage is reached with the # of bans equal to 1-2-2-1 respectively.
2. For game two, winner bans one of the three rows, then loser picks one of the remaining two rows.
3. Winner then bans 3 stages from this row and loser counterpicks from the remaining 4 stages.
4. For game 3 repeat steps 2 and 3.
*Modified DSR - Player may not return to a stage if they LAST won on it, but may return to any stage otherwise.


***Disclaimer***
Please do not split prize money at these tournaments and be sure to play out all sets to the fullest of your ability. Prizes are not final until the tournament has officially finished. If it comes to my attention that splitting has taken place, prize money must be forfeited to the next highest legitimately placing entrant. Repeat offenders are subject to exclusion from future ECE events.

Can PM singles please start earlier? Hopefully we're not doing pools because that took forever last time. :ohwell:

I'm going to stick with Double Elim this time, but PM singles is scheduled as the last event and I suspect it'll start around 7:30 =D
