Congratulations to Xisin and Slartibartfast42, you have advanced to Round 2 of Smash Wars!
-------


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:

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 figured it meant by 2 pm today, if I'm the only one who goes on because everyone forgot to register, then wow cause I planning on not winning at all haha.

*Edit*

You guys are still good to go. You must sign in by 2 pm today.

And I think it would be a good idea to type our smashboards name in our profile on the brawl friend list in case we can't recognize the five letter name. Just a thought. Good luck guys.

You still have until 2PM Eastern to register-- that means if you're in Central, you need to be registered by 1PM.

EDIT: Ok, I added all you guys, I'll play the first one who joins the room I'm about to start. I shouldn't be hard to recognize, my name is just the first 5 letters of my smashboards name (SLART)

I beat domiNate:

Form: Character(player) vs Character(player) stage - winner

1.ZSS(me) vs C. Falcon (Nate) FD - domiNate wins
2.Marth(me) vs C. Falcon (Nate) FD - domiNate wins
3.Marth(me) vs C. Falcon (Nate) PS1 - Slartibartfast42 wins
4.Marth(me) vs C. Falcon (Nate) BF - Slartibartfast42 wins
5.Marth(me) vs C. Falcon (Nate) PS1 - Slartibartfast42 wins

hooray.

It's funny, all the matches I lost, nate was at 1 stock left, but the matches I won, I still had 2 stock, not to rub it in or anything. There was also terrible lag the 1st 2 matches. (I suicided cause I didn't airdodge till AFTER I was hit, and I couldn't swords dance well) Oh well, I think nate suicided cause of lag once too, also, both players won all the matches where the RNG picked their stage, lol. The main reason he lost is because his character's recovery sucks, he's easy to edgeguard/hog.

EDIT: Wow, I feel sorry for you Nate, you lost the other match with Smash after winning twice in a row. You're actually pretty good, you just have bad luck, lol.

Haha, thanks slart. Yeah man, you marths are gay, haha. But good stuff none the less. I'm not gonna john about lag, we all suffer through it. I'm pretty much out of the tourney now so good luck to all of you. I just didn't understand why my falcon wouldn't sweet spot the ledge on pokemon stadium. It's to the point that I think the stage should be banned. Whatever, no tears here. Fun matches, good luck to all of you.

I beat Smash 1

1. Marth(me) vs Wolf (smash 1) PS1 - Slartibartfast42 Wins
2. ZSS(me) vs Wolf (smash 1) BF - Slartibartfast42 wins
3. Ice Climbers(me) vs R.O.B.(smash 2) FD - Slartibartfast42 wins

You had some tough suicides in the first match... It would have been close.

domiNate, how did you lose to this guy?

He played marth.... haha

Nah, the kid deserves credit. I didn't even win a single match against him. I just hate how characters aren't balanced once again.

*edit*

Oh you were takling about smash, he picked up R.O.B. the third match and I just couldn't handle his campy style. If I tried to play defensive that **** lazer would get me and I couldn't dodge it cause of the lag. Tough match for me.

good game to you too. I'll put up the stages and chars and stuff:

1.Marth (me) vs Marth(Xisin) FD - Slartibartfast42 wins
2ZSS (me) vs Marth(Xisin) FD - Xisin wins
3.ZSS (me) vs Marth(Xisin) FD - Xisin wins
4.Marth (me) vs Marth(Xisin) FD - Slartibartfast42 wins
5.Marth (me) vs Marth(Xisin) FD - Xisin wins

If only I hadn't suicided on the ledge in the 2nd match. I accidentally pressed A before X, so instead of jumping to a Nair, I just Nair suicided... No lag, just stupidity :( also, those sides on FD were brutal on me the last match. I'm not too bitter, I'm still advancing :) I hope I don't do any stuff that dumb in the next round.

EDIT: I couldn't beat you as ZSS the 3rd match because you learned your lesson that you can't roll behind ZSS when she's doing her Fsmash, it hits behind her too...
