RESULTS

Congratulations to Aaryk and Philosophize, 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:

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

And just a couple other things.

1. If you're not in this thread by 2, I will mark you down as a W on my list, I'm going to be a **** about it.
2. I host all of my matches, that way I can ensure that there is no tampering with the hit ratio. Make sure items are turned off also.

alright. yeah there's no issue w/ multi-person Wiis, just make sure that the right person is playing the right match, no criss-crossed pool confusion like in my last online tourney =\

I have work to do until about 1:00 or so, so if you IM me or PM and I don't answer, it's because I'm picking up sticks in my yard =P sorry for the delay.

Are we allowed to make these ridiculous rules?

Because #2 is just silly, you would notice the hit ratio and items... Plus I don't see how anyone can say "I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN HOST."

Unless for some reason you refuse to play with him because he's hosting, I don't see a problem with any of his rules.

If you don't want to fight him because you'd rather host, come talk to me.

I don't really think they're that ridiculous...It's the wifi wars rules that if you don't register before 2, you get DQ'd. And I'm not saying that I'm the only one who can host, I'm saying that I will have a match ready and waiting for someone to join the entirety of the day, so it's more convenient to just join me and let me host. Plus, I've gotten screwed over by people doing adjusting the hit ratio, and while it's easy to prove, I don't have the means to upload a replay to the internet, so I'd rather not take the chance. I'm sorry if I come off as conceited, but that's how i do wifi wars competitive open too. and no one seems to have a problem with it there.

Sammitch, if it will make you feel better about it, you can host if you want, inbd =\
lol theres an hour left for the rest of the pool to register. This would be the easiest qualifier of my life if only the 4 of us register.

That's not what you said. I was only jumping on that because you said:

2. I host all of my matches, that way I can ensure that there is no tampering with the hit ratio. Make sure items are turned off also.
You said you were going to be a **** about stuff, so I figured you were just being a **** about this. No hard feelings. You just sounded a little bit... pretentious.

I have no problem with him hosting, I just didn't think that he should of said "I am hosting, just so you don't 'cheat.'"

No hard feelings. Shredder and I are going to be going to the gym, we'll be ready to play after 2 or so. So i'll be on then.

I'll be on IRC tagged eTea_sammitch

There is now less than half an hour until all but 4 of us are DQ'd.
This is disappointing. I wanted to get a bunch of matches in...

alright. The door is shut to all participants not yet registered. It is 2:00 and you have missed the deadline. You can still post FCs in here if you want to play, but the only people eligible for Round Two are me, Sammitch, smash superstar, and Philosophize.

yeah agreed. Even though technically I already advance because I'm 2-0 and have the tiebreak edge over philo and superstar. I just want to play smash, but I don't want to have to keep coming back to my computer to check if ur here.
