I.Welcome back, kids. Sorry for the delay, but Montage is back with their Fourth event this year, and we're going to make it our biggest, yet! With event sponsorships from Bawls, and mark ups from a few other places, we'll start the Summer off the way it should be started. We've found this game hasn't reached it's full potential, yet, so I want to see some new faces, and some new characters! Grab your johns, and get ready for the best hottest event of the Month!

II.Disclaimer: There will be no fighting, threatening, or anything of the like allowed. No warnings, no nothing. You do it, you're done. Trash Talk, and other things are not only fine, but encouraged. (Keep is tasteful.) If you think I'm bluffing, just ask around.

As for trash talk: We've had a few kids taking it overboard. I will be calling technical fouls on players, if I see fit. 2 fouls and you're DQ'd from the current event. Three fouls, and you're GONE. Plain and simple.


III.This time, we're going to have separate Stage rules for Singles and Doubles. It's extremely hard to camp on small stages when there are four people, so new stage rules are in effect. As always, if you have a say, and you aren't a moron, please leave your input!

IV. Venue: 3499 Rt 1 South
Princeton, NJ 08540
The Palmer Inn


The tournament will be in the Garden Room. Call Inui at 732-829-1805 if you need directions. If you need to be picked up from the Princeton, Princeton Junction, call someone at the tournament to pick you up and we'll be happy to do so. Please provide fair warning, this time. (Cough, ninjalink)

Schedule!

V. Brawl Rules!
  • Matches will be THREE (3) Stock, Seven minute time limit.
  • Double Elimination. All matches will be 2/3, with all finals being 3/5.
  • No pools, educated seeding.
  • Items will be off, while team attack will be on! Life stealing is allowed.
  • Smashballs will be OFF.
  • Each player may ban up to two counterpick Stages, OR one neutral. Not both.
  • Advanced Slob picks: First match is a blind pick, where the competitors will tell their character to a judge, a proceed. The Loser of the first match will then pick the next stage, then the winner may choose his character. After, the loser will choose his character and begin. The same will happen for the third match, if forced.
  • No stage may be played twice in a single set.
  • The Mage's DQ rule is also in effect:
    2 Minutes Late ? Warning/Loss of first stock
    4 Minutes Late ? Loss of first match of set
    6 Minutes Late ? Loss of set)
  • All standing infinites are BANNED.
  • Due to an incident last time, any excessive running will be a warning. If you're found stalling excessively after that warning, you will lose the game you're in. If three times you are called from this, you will be disqualified from said event. This may only happen if a judge bears witness to the happenings, and calls it. You may not go about this yourselves. If you feel this is happening, have someone call a judge. If you are found crying Wolf on this (Or Snake. lulz) you will receive the warning in the other players stead. Three warnings will be a loss of a game.

Crew's Rules!
  • All entering crews must have Four (4) to Five (5) members.
  • This event will be round robin for 2-6 crews, or bracket style if more. Brackets will be double elimination.
  • Each crew must distribute the stocks as evenly as possible. A team of five will be awarded three stocks a piece, while a team of four must have the members play out with four stocks, with one having three. They can be used in any order.
  • Each crew will select a member to go first and tell a judge, and then those players will play match on on random.
  • The Stage rules will be used for Crews.
  • The crew who's member lost the previous match may select any remaining member to continue. That person has the option of selecting any available stage, and giving his opponent the option of Changing characters, or electing to go random. If the losing team's representative chooses Random, the winner from the previous game must stay their current character.
  • The winner from the last round must SD until s/he has reached the amount of lives s/he had in the previous match.
  • Once the winner has reached the amount of stock, the game may begin. The two-second invincibility frames from the last respawn may be used.
  • When one crew has exhausted the other crews stock, they are considered the winner.

Patience is a virtue. Stalling is a Crime. ;)

We had to either do it on the 28th or wait another month. The room we use is booked for the 21st, the first date we wanted. Sorry. :(

word why would you guys plan this on the same day as a big *** nyc event. i think you guys like dont want us to come or something.
lol, no.

I couldn't get the Garden Room of the hotel for the 21st, so we had to do it on the 28th.

We truly didn't want to have it the same day as anyone else's event, but this is the only date we could secure. We're sorry to Admin and Alex, but we run monthlies, and we have to make sure it happens!

If I could get you guys a large venue for the 21st, would you move the tourney?

Specifically, one of the large auditoriums in the student center of TCNJ?

It's not the Garden Room, no, but it's close (and bigger). If you guys want I can look into getting it.

I will say my peace and I will leave it at that.

Montage you guys decided to run this on my events date. Whether you accept blame for it or not is upon you all but the fact remains you could of waited an extra month and you choose not to. In the end you believe monthlies are the best route. My disagreement with that is that monthlies are a great thing but as it goes on it helps to lower attendance ( i.e gaunlets ) while when I ran Zenith's it was a 2-3 month deal and everyone would get excited and I would get more attendance and particularly more hype.

That is one route you can go. To be frank I shall not and will not try to compete with this event. I want Dm, Keitaro, tsa and company to come down to nyc and have a great time at my party. I refuse to let this even go towards a bashing each other thread ( which from the Ims I am getting might happen ). I am not the type to go OMG **** THEM THEY ARE EVIL. Nah but if you cannot change the event date I will most likely have to cancel since for me June 28th was the only date my family would let me have the pool and the outside for a day.


Keep in touch.

I don't think much of NYC is gonna show up. I mean, this thing at Alex's has been stickied and planned for months.

Alot of people are gonna pass. I'm not having a problem with a Montage tourney, but I'm just saying that pushing it back/up would be a very smart move.

Also, ChiboSempai, whatever happened to that replay of Olimar's Extended DownSmash? Or was that all bull****?

EDIT: Given what Alex just said... Before I even moved back to CT I had planned to come back to NYC for Alex's event. It feels a little unfair if Alex has to cancel the event.

Alex, I doubt you have to cancel. NY will definitely show up to your event. NY doesn't come in large numbers to our events, anyways. The attendance of both events shouldn't be hurt too much, if at all.

It was never about nyc coming Inui I was shooting towards nj/ct/ma really.
You'll probably still get states like CT to show up to your event since you're at least an hour closer. The only thing you're going to miss is a few NJ and Philly players, while we'll miss out on like five NY players. It's all good, bro.

i forgot ch3 was 7/5. why cant montage be 7/12? then who knows, maybe i can make cot4 the weekend after that. it just sucks that lightdream might have to cancel his event and he hasnt had one yet (or atleast hasnt in months and months, i dunno), and montage has been having them kinda recently and could stand to wait 2 weeks (dont have it the same weekend as ch3 as youl get ***** with attendance since ch3 is gonna be big).

its not like ur bullying around a small rage studios like tourney, cause lightdreams deal has been announced for like a month now, and even stickied in atl north area. however many ppl will auto choose montage since its a tourney, not a fest like lightd's. lets all take a vacation and not spend money for one weekend and chill in NY :)

also holla, i still have the vid on my wii, i forgot to encode it lol. il see if i can get it sometime soon

Our first event had 2 people from NY. Our second event had 7 people from NY out of 62 people. NY's attendance is not that big of a concern of ours.

Likewise, very few NJ people go to NYC's weeklies.

For some reason, NJ and NY don't go to each other's events beyond majors. I doubt the attendance of either event will be damaged.

The only real problem is that TGP is also having their event on this day. The combination of the three is indeed annoying.
