Location

CONFIRMED
Sunday 17th May, 11am

Venue:
Gamerbase Manchester
Inside HMV (Basement floor)
90 Market Street
Manchester
M1 1PD

Directions:

From Manchester Picadilly Station:
Come out of the main entrance and follow the hill down. Continue in that direction, going past all the bus stops. The road will bend left, but keep going straight, through Picadilly Gardens. If you see Burger King, you're on the right track. Keep going straight, following, the tram lines and you'll see HMV. Go dowstairs to Gamerbase.

If you get lost, ask someone or call me.


Rules

IMPORTANT - You must bring and use a Gamecube controller
We don't want to use wiimotes incase they fling out of peoples hands and break monitors. I know this only applies for shake smash, but I'm not prepared to take any risks and neither are Gamerbase. There may be some spares but don't rely on this. Bring your own controller!

Keep the entrance freed up as much as possible, so regulars and customers can come in.

The maximum number of entries is 24 and you must pre-register to be guaranteed a spot. You can do that by either posting on the gamerbase forums or here.

If you register after 24 people, you will be put on the reserve list. It is still worth turning up as you may be able to enter if someone doesn't turn up, or if we 8 reserves.

Out of Regioners will only be able to register 10 days before the tournament. I apologise for those, but this is a regional ranking, and locals must take priority.

Venue - £5
Singles - £3 per person

Prize ratio: 60/30/10

Awards are given in the way of Gamerbase time. You must have a gamerbase account to be eligible.

Awards:
Best Newcomer
Most Improved Player
Shock of the Day
Bad Beat of the day
Most inspiring
Finish award


Group Stages and Double elimination brackets

  • Best of 3 - All finals best of 5
  • 3 Stock
  • 8 Minute Time Limit
  • No Items
  • No stalling or running away to purposely run out the time limit (running out minimal time is one thing, multiple minutes is just ridiculous)
  • If you need to add your name to change your controls, please remember to do so, and do it quickly. You can not quit in the middle of a match if you realize your controls are wrong.
  • Advanced Slob picks.
  • You may not counterpick the stage you last won on.
  • You may ban 1 random stage, or 2 counterpick stages.
  • Standing Infinites are BANNED which include (but not limited to) Dedede's small-step chain grab. Dedede standard chain grab is fine.
  • Ice Climber things are legal, as long as they aren't used for stalling.
  • Metaknight Infinite Dimentional Cape is banned.
  • If there is a dispute over controller ports, play Rock Paper Scissors for it.
  • Suicide Move Rules: (all situations are when both players are at 1 stock)
  • If a player successfully ends the match with either Bowser or Ganondorf's over B attack by suicide, then the player who initiated the move wins.
  • If a player ends the match by swallowing with Kirby or DDD and falling off the stage and the game counts it as a tie, the player who initiated the swallow move wins. If the player who was swallowed is shown as winning the match (in the instance the broke out right before they died which some people might not notice), then they win.

Stage banning: You may ban any 1 stage for the entire match.

umm.... i may be able to but you'd have to arrive saturday evening as I'll be with my gf all day. alternatively, joe/will may be able to house you for the nights.

also, its primarily brawl because i want to get that started here, but melee should be available if we have time.

This should be a good time. All in from me!

I can't guarantee another epic Fox ditto though, Aiko. My Melee game is depressingly rusty.

If Nillix is in, this is going rock.

Talked to two of my mates today, both are unsure if they can make it but both are willing if able. Got a third to ask tonight. I'll keep you posted.

Nillix does this mean your coming home for this?
Not sure. I might try and sort something out for the Friday previous, and then travel up with you and Smudge on Sunday before catching a train back to Leeds after the event.

I'll see what happens.

ant can't you put the brawl and melee in one thread? too many UK threads =/ thats how us londoners run it and our community is huge
i thought you would mention this. Thing is, Northwest has been completely melee up until now, and I'm trying to attract new players. When the nw brawl scene gets established, i'll merge the threads together. If it goes in the current nw thread, it'll just get eaten alive and will die.

And hopefully I'll be able to do better in Brawl that in Melee lol

Currently, at time of writing, we have 4 People coming from Congleton, with 2 more to confirm. 1 looking more likely than the other.

Names aren't necessary but helpful. I may make a pre planned bracket to speed things up. Will post an expected turnout list when I get home.
