V. Brawl Rules!

• Matches will be THREE (3) Stock (again), EIGHT minute time limit.
• Double Elimination. All matches will be 2/3, with all finals being 3/5.
• No pools, random seeding
• Items will be off, while team attack will be on! Life stealing is allowed.
• Each person/team is allowed two bans. NO STAGE STRIKES
• Smashballs will be OFF.
• 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.
• Dave's Stupid Rule Modified will be in effect. The same stage can not be played twice in a row 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)
• Any attempt at lame *** tactics will result in a warning. Any further attempt at lame *** tactics will result in forfeit.
  These tactics include, but are not limited to:
  -Stalling under a stage.
  -Running away to run the time limit. (Excessively. If there's 30 seconds, and you bail, that's one thing. But if you waste 5 minutes, or be a jerk about it, I'm stopping the match. It's at the judge's discretion.)

I'd buy that for a Dollar!

[Cheezit]

DAmm you damm you i was going to do mine the 29th i guess i'll reschedule to the 30th!!!! Lol

 

[Eggm]

Sounds good cheezit, include melee. Btw, does this include melee? If so i'll probably go. I"m asking cause of this sentence. "I do want to see the desire for Melee!"

 

[Inui]

Sesshomaru010101 (6:22:17 PM): so, let's recap... pools for singles and crew seperations, sign up times need to be posted, and teams should have the same pot distribution as singles...
I dmbrandon l (6:22:32 PM): sounds about right

Just noting a few changes because Brandon can't edit the post right now.

11am is when sign-ups will start. Teams will start at 12pm.

As for Melee, I don't know. Brawl takes priority for sure. I'll have my own Melee set-up and we'll definitely be able to play Melee. How about we just say we'll have at least two set-ups for Melee and can run a tournament for that as well if enough people want to?

 

[Layupfreak]

haha sweet i live in montgomery, so it is really close to princeton, I might consider going. But will there be any Melee?

 

[Kruton]

Around how many people would show up to this?

 

[Velocity]

If I get my car back I might come to this, is there going to be singles and teams?

 

[Eggm]

God, you still haven't gotten your car back? I hope you get it back soon... Anyways, can some one other than inui whose on my ignore list confirm if theres melee or not?

Kashif is better than you at Smash.

it's not gonna be an overnight discussion.

 

[Eggm]

In other words your still deciding?

 

[CT Chia]

interesting, i might come to this if i can find a way there. i was considering march 22nd for cot3 so that works ok.

as for the stages you said discuss about it. walk off stages arent too big a deal when the level changes (like they arent always there, like delfino, but when theyr always there they should be banned). Green Hill Zone should be banned for now as well as Bridge of Eldin. Until we decide what to do with this Dedede chain throwing stuff that affects like 30 characters in the game which is unexcapable at all percents. Pictochat, Frigate, Mario Circuit, Yoshi's Island, and Great Sea should all definitely be banned. Poke Stadium 1, Delfino and Castle Siege are all ok for neutral. Corneria can be counterpick and not banned. Just my advice. your stage list isnt that bad, except i rly think pictochat frigate and great sea should def be banned.

 

[DireVulcan]

I like how cornballs ban 75 stages instead of 1 cheap tactic.

''Aw jeez this toaster sucks, always burns the crap outta my bread!...man, i'm never buying or eating bread again!!!''

Try throwing the toaster away, clucktardios

The stages won't have a major effect on the game itself. Banning a major tactic will.

 

[pockyD]

who or what is a "DX Stage"

 

[Magus420]

So there's no entry fee for the actual brawl tournaments themselves? Perhaps I'll come.

I hate you, forever. :D

I didn't put them up yet. The crew hasn't been together in a while, but we will soon, and we'll think of fair prices. 10/10 probably. not sure yet

 

[Magus420]

Im curious, what's the house fee paying for?

 

[Alex Strife]

its Melee stages

 

[teh_spamerer]

Im curious, what's the house fee paying for?

Me too, Inui's tournaments have never had house fees before.

 

[D1]

Dairanto Smash Bros. DX=Super Smash Bros. Melee

DX Stages are Melee Stages essentially.

I might go to this I like the rules ^_^...and the stage bans, neutrals, and counterpicks.

 

[Alex Strife]

Brandon I spent a lot of money to go to the last one for singles. I trust you so I will be going but if you do not have singles I will be REALLY mad....j/k just have more setups for brawl and I am there,


D1 - if me and Vanz dont team you wanna team with me?...I might bring NL too if you want.

 

[Inui]

Im curious, what's the house fee paying for?

It's to pay for food and drinks we're going to be ordering, and anything else we need.

Yes, it's mandatory.

Also, some reminders:

Doubles will probably be having the same pot split as singles.
Singles will probably have pools play and be seperating by crews, and maybe partners.

I'm leaving sign-up times and prices up to Brandon and the majority of the crew near him.

 

[teh_spamerer]

wtf I want Wendy's screw whatever you're buying. It's TWO STEPS from the hotel!

 

[Alex Strife]

Same for me WENDY's FTW



Btw - as a reminder incase your computer program dies again... go to Darters.com for brackets

 

[Velocity]

wtf I want Wendy's screw whatever you're buying. It's TWO STEPS from the hotel!

yeah it literally is i passed it the other day while i was in Princeton for work and i was like oh **** its wendy's ill get something to eat and then i realized thats where inui was so i sped up.

 

[pockyD]

there's no need to buy food/drink for non-major tournaments

if people want to order pizza when they get there, they'll get together and order, no problem - there's no logistics issues for like 10-20 people

 

[Inui]

Whatever, it's up to Brandon.

 

[Alex Strife]

I do not mind the venue fee if it is to the house ( cause in the end the venue should get something back )

Pocky I thought you were in Cali lol....if your not come down and play at this shin dig.

BTW next time just post in one thread about the tournament ( unless this is the only thread you posted in. )

 

[crismas]

Singles plz.

 

[CT Chia]

im interested in going to this and the tunes biweekly the day after and im in philly. is there anyway someone could hook me up with a ride to this and the other tourney? id imagine ppl are making plans to go to both anyway. itd be cool if i could get picked up, but i can also travel somewhere else to get picked up, like i could take the train to velocity's place then go from there or something idk.

also if i go, i need a teammate for brawl doubles.

 

[dmbrandon]
