Bringing Smash back to the Midsouth area! Since there seems to be a lack of events in the Memphis/Kentucky/Arkansas/Mississippi areas, we are going to begin the Memphis Brawlers League. We will have tournaments and events every month! Power rankings will be kept online at the Memphis Brawlers website. Our first tournament in November will only have a 1v1 Brawl tournament. Our 2nd event in November will have both a singles and a doubles Brawl tournament!


This month's event is on October 2!

Venue:
The VUE
3472 Plaza Avenue #101
Memphis, TN 38111

What:
Super Smash Brothers Brawl on the Nintendo Wii

When:
Noon on Saturday, October 2, until the tournament ends...

Registration:
Registration is through email @: VueBrawler@gmail.com
The email must include your name and intention of participating in the tourney

What you need to know:
Bring your own controllers
No entry fee
For this first tournament, must be 18-25

Rules:
-3 stock.
-8 minutes.
-Items are turned to off and none.
-Controllers with turbo, or any kind of software that will change the gameplay are PROHIBITED.
-All non-finals and semi-finals matches are best of three.
-Consolation finals matches (3rd and 5th place matches) are best of 5.
-Final Championship match is best of 7
-Controller ports are determined by Rock-Paper-Scissors if there is a dispute.
-If time runs out, the winner is determined by stock, and then by percent.
-All persons are responsible for their own control scheme and must make sure it is set before the match begins.
-Any action that prevents the game from continuing results in a forfeiture of the match for the offender.
-Meta Knight's Infinite Dimensional Cape is banned.
-If a game ends with Bowser or Ganondorf using a Sacrificial KO (with Flying -Slam or Flame Choke respectively) and the game is tied, then any Sudden -Death is ignored and the game goes to a 1-stock, 3-minute overtime match.
-Stalling is banned. (Stalling is defined as any action that deliberately avoids all conflict as to make the game unplayable. Running from an opponent to get to a better position is not considered stalling, but using chain grabs infinitely against a wall (excessively beyond around 300%) or using Sonic's Neutral B repeatedly underneath the stage is.)
-Both players choose their characters for the first game. A double blind pick may be requested by either player.

Match Procedures:
-The first stage of a match is selected randomly.
-The loser of the first game announces the stage that s/he will counter-pick.
-The winner of the previous game chooses his/her character.
-The loser of the previous game chooses his/her character.
-Repeat previous steps for successive matches.

MAPS:

Neutral:
-Smashville
-Final Destination
-Battlefield

Counterpick:

Hey guys. I really like your idea to try and get something going in this area. I love playing Brawl competitively, but I really don't have anyone to play, so I've been resorting to driving hundreds of miles to MLG events, which has been fun, but expensive.
I live in Bowling Green, KY, and I'm not sure if I can do anything to help you guys, but if I can, let me know.
Also, how did the first event go?

The first event was amazing! We drew 29 participants, and had about 35-45 people in the building. It was really just about having fun and community. I think everyone had a good time... Only had one mishap, I sincerely apologize BunBun. So were gonna work on that mistake, and I'm thankful for your support.

I don't know how far away Bowling Green is from Memphis, or what the Smash Brothers community is like there, but maybe we can create some events that can bring our two groups together! Were more than happy for any support we can get. We have an amazing, free venue here in memphis. I have pictures of the tournament and venue listed at: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=288076&highlight=memphis if you want to see the place.

We are having weeklies on Tuesdays from 6 PM to 10 PM if you are able to make it, and we will be having tournaments (Melee & Brawl) once a month. If you're interested I'll hit you up with a PM and my number, so we can coordinate some stuff.

Thanks,
~Josh

We should be friends. :) I've been wanting to compete in MLG forever but never had the time or resource to go.

50 Terranite? Really?
Bowling Green is roughly 4.5 hours.



It's not that bad of a drive. Take I-40 towards nashville, get off on Briley Parwkay (Exit 207, IIRC) headed north until you get to I65 and take it up towards Louisville/Indy. Bowling Green is like 45 minutes into Kentucky.
