- Random stages: Final Destination, Kirby's Dreamland 64, Pokemon Stadium, Fountain of Dreams, Yoshi's Story, Battlefield
- Counterpick stages: Mute City, Green Greens, Rainbow Cruise, Kongo Jungle 64, Brinstar, Poke Floats, Corneria, Jungle Japes
- Advanced Slob Picks: Loser of the First match picks counter-stage, winner changes character, loser changes character in that order.
- Stalling tactics and glitches are not allowed. "Wobbles" technique, however, IS ALLOWED
- No stage may be used twice in a single set if the counter-picking player has already won on that stage, unless the opponent agrees to use the stage again. (Dave's Stupid Rule)
- Stage Bans: You may reset one neutral stage, and ban one counter-pick stage.
- Double Blind character pick is allowed
So, for those that remember the Buy.com tournament in March, it had high payouts and the venue was on par with the MLG pro circuit of 2006. Newegg.com is putting on a LAN tournament that features Melee, with literally double the payout, IN CASH. Needless to say it will be an excellent tournament.
The cherry on top is that it's the weekend after Super Champ Combo, which many people are coming to. The venue itself is less than a half-hour drive away, and $1000 first prize is pretty much on the level of only big SoCal tournaments.
"BUT WAIT, I went to Buy.com LAN tournament in March, and they had laggy TVs and didn't seed well at all!"
That is why the tournament host, Jinmaster of Tekken fame, is working closely with the Smash community to make sure it is a successfully run tournament. Not to mention, since it's LANfest 2k7, they will have other side events such as the PC build off and the ultimate case mod contest. They also have tournaments for Counter-strike, Day of Defeat, Command and Conquer, Gears of War, Tekken 5 and Guitar Hero 2, all with equally impressive payouts.
