Congrats to jlen and Elbow, you have advanced to Round 2!

-------


PROCEDURE:

All participants must post their friend code in this thread by 2:00 Eastern tomorrow. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.

As soon as pools are posted, you may start contacting people to play your matches. We recommend email, aim, private messaging, the Wifi Wars chat, Smashboards chat, and the Smashboards matchfinder.

We highly recommend being connected via chat, skype, aim or other real-time messager to your opponent.

ALL MATCHES ARE TO BE COMPLETED BY 10PM EASTERN TIME.

Judges and referees will be on hand from 12:00pm-10pm Eastern. You may start playing prior to noon, Sat 3/29, but refs will not be on hand to handle any disputes.

Lag:
If a match lags, you will have to play through it. Lag is expected in online play, in particular in brawl. Like randomness in poker, it is something you will need to play around.

If a match lags out, you will have to replay it.

REPORTING MATCHES:
When you finish a match, post in your pool's thread the results.

Losers of matches are strongly encouraged to report their own results. We will accept winners reporting, but losers have better validity.

We recommend taking a digital picture of the victory screen if you foresee a dispute. If the match is under 3 minutes, you can use Brawl's built in save feature.

A thread will list active referee for a particular region. If you have a dispute, contact them.

Your result will be reflected in the first post by a regional referee. If you do not see it posted within an hour, please contact a ref to make sure it gets counted.

IF YOU DO NOT PLAY ALL OF YOUR MATCHES:
All unplayed matches will be counted as a loss. Do not leave matches until the last minute, or you might find yourself unable to complete them.

It is recommended that you save drafts and histories of any pms, emails and ims that you send. If, after the deadline, you can prove that you made an effort to contact an opponent who did not respond, you will receive a victory. You will have to prove that you made multiple efforts and made yourself available.

Again, disputes should be directed to the referees listed in the stickied topic.

PROGRESSION:
To advance to day 2 (double elimination), you must be one of the top 2 players from your pool.

Only the top 2 will advance.

However, if you lose any (or all) of your matches, you are not "eliminated." All participants are encouraged to play as many of their pool matches as they wish. After all, this is for fun. Make some friends, get some friend codes, and learn some new tricks.

If you choose to drop out: POST IN YOUR POOL'S THREAD. If you drop out, everyone who you have not played will receive a W. Those whom you have beaten will still receive Ls.

RULES:

Singles - Rules

Stalling:
Excessive stalling is defined as using any glitch or tactic to make your character completely untouchable by an opponent for an excessive amount of time. Using such tactics will result in a match forfeit. Players must submit video evidence to demonstrate that this rule has been violated for the referee to rule in their favor. Also, please note that running away within the normal bounds play or camping ledges does not constitute stalling.

Lag:
No Johns. Lag is not an acceptable excuse for quitting out of a game. A player that quits out during gameplay without the permission of a referee will automatically forfeit that game. Video evidence must be submitted to a referee to prove that this rule has been broken for the forfeit to go into effect. Without video proof, players must complete the match.

Video:
All players are encouraged to record every single match and save those files until the opponent has properly reported the results. Video files can be used as proof in the event that an opponent cheats or lies.

Referees:
Referee contact information will be posted with each pool. Players should only contact referees in the case of a rule violation and they must present video evidence in this instance. Any disrespect or harassing of referees will not be tolerated and will result in disqualification. Referee rulings are final.

Most of all:

HAVE FUN

I'll be playing from 2pm until I at least get my matches done.
I'm on Eastern time, to help prevent confusion.
Everyone considered yourself challenged. I'll be editing my post with all my results, status, and such. I suggest you all do the same so we don't have to scroll through pages of posts.

RESULTS-
LUCYMONO- W (DQ)
King Zeal- 2-3 L
jlen- 0-3 L
Elbow- L 0-3
Evelgest- W (DQ)
WGWOLVERINE- W (DQ)
jdub03- 2-3 L
ZOMGjesustruck- W (DQ)
SonicLucario- 0-3 L

In conclusion, I was the punching bag who never played online before (nor do I know more than one person thats any good) I lost every match, I'm probably not gonna advance :)
It was good playing you all though...

Status- is getting taught there are actually good smashers out there, and I'm not one of them

so how do we know who to play?
You fight every person in your pool, in the first post. Whichever two competitors have the most wins after everyone's played each other, those two move onto brackets tomorrow.

If for some reason your opponent doesn't post in this thread by 2PM EST, he'll be disqualified-- so don't bother playing any of your opponents unless they've posted in this thread at least once before 2PM EST.

Oh jlen I didnt see that. I just thought the rules were going to be inforced.
Rules will be inforced. This is a competitive tourney, and the rules were posted ahead of time. It sucks, but it's too late for him.

I've got to agree with elbow on this one. We're all friends, but its the principle. If you got in 9 minutes late whats to stop someone from showing up much later and inconveniencing everyone else? it's an official event and should be handled as such.

and elbow, don't double post lol, and if you're going to, at least don'tr have your sig in both.

Hey, I'm big enough to take my loss like a man. I think the spirit of the rules should be more important than the letter. But that's just me.

Well it doesnt matter to me really. More competition the better. It just seemed that the way the rules were worded. Posting your FC in a timely fashion was of the utmost importance.

Anyway im ready to finish off these matches so I can get started on my paper. Post here or pm me so we can play.

I think I still have to play jlen elbow and sonicLucario.

How do I turn off my sig? I didn't mean to double post though, sorry.

Ok, sure. If nobody cares, you're in jlen.

Elbow beat King Zeal. Jeezus. Didn't stand a chance.
Actually, when I saw your Tlink, and you started spamming some projectiles, I thought I was done for. Really dumb SD the first round, but I do that as Tlink sometimes, too. Good games, man.

Yeah, that SD in the first round was lag-related, unfortunately. The d-air didn't register until I was over the edge.

I thought it might be a lag-fest, but it got better the last 2 rounds. Is Rainbow Cruise a legal stage, BTW?

yes rainbow cruise is legal, and if you go into "go advanced" in editing, you can turn it off/on, it's cool though.
and so it doesn't seem ridiculous that i'm posting so much, i'm helping scav referee so i'll be cruising around helping out, so if anyone has any questions feel free to post,pm,or IM me at WGWOLVERINE on aim.
