Smash Lord
This is a Smash 4 tournament for people midwest. The weather should be better so we won't have a repeat of the last extremely hot and muggy tournament at my house.
If there is enough interest and consoles we may have a PM, Brawl or melee tournament as well. Let me know in the forum if you are interested in a side tournament. I have 2 couches if anyone needs to stay the night. I also have tons of blankets/pillows etc.
If many people plan to stay, Zareidriel may have additional housing available as well (he lives within walking distance of my house and has couches etc.) I will check with Zareidriel and update.
Tournament Information:
Location: Ithrowthings' house in Akron, OH
Entry fee: $20
($10 Singles, $10 Doubles)
If you have any allergies, please let me know beforehand. I have 3 cats, so if you are allergic to cats I have some Loratradine that may help but not much else.
Everyone should bring their own 3DS + Copy of Smash 4. If you do NOT bring your own 3DS/Game, you must make your own plans to borrow someone else's. You are responsible for your own system!
TOURNAMENT RULES:
4 stock, best 2/3.
10 minute timer
Tournament format will be pools and depending on the number of players in the tournament, 8, 16 or 32 will advance to the bracket. If there are fewer than 8 players ( I don't think that'll be an issue) Then play will advance directly to bracket
Payouts (1-8 entrants)
1- 50%
2- 30%
3- 20%
Payouts (9-64 entrants):
1- 40%

TOURNAMENT RULES:
- Game Settings: 4 Stocks, 10 Minute Time Limit, Best of 3 Games.
- Items are disabled.
- The act of stalling is banned and constitutes intentionally making the game unplayable. Examples include becoming perpetually invisible, continuing infinites/chain grabs/uninterrupted moves past 300%, and/or reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.
- Should you believe your opponent is stalling, please call for a TO so that it may be observed
- Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
- Pause option is disabled in the game menu. If left on, accidental pausing mid match forfeits a stock.
- You may not choose a stage you have won on during a set, unless agreed by both players.
- If time runs outs the tie is determined by most stocks, and then if still tied, by percentage.
- If the match ends with time running out with both players at equal percent and stock, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage.
- If a match is ended via suicide move, the victory screen indicates the winner.
- Coaching, when done respectfully, is allowed during a match (it's to help us learn!)
- NO CUSTOM MOVESETS. For this first invitational at least, we will only allow the base movesets. Given that there's only a week of time between release and this tournament, I figure this will be the most fair way of approaching it.
- NO EQUIPMENT. For this first invitational at least, we will only allow the base characters. Given that there's only a week of time between release and this tournament, I figure this will be the most fair way of approaching it.
- One stage ban.
- Breaks from tournament matches are limited to a reasonable timeframe as determined by the TO on location. In the middle of a set, this is one 2 minute break. If you continually stall between matches to rest your mind/hands or calm your nerves, it will make the tournament drag on. Be ready for your matches!
- Color Blind Rule: If you or a teammate have a color-based disability, you may request your opponent use a different team color skin (example being two sonic and lucario teams being indistinguishable due to team color choice)
- Intentional Lag Rule: You are not allowed to intentionally cause the match to lag either by intentionally walking away from your opponent or attempting to block the signal in any way including cell phone useage.
- Dead Battery Rule: You are responsible for having a charged battery. If your 3DS dies in the middle of a match, the person whose 3DS ran out of batteries forfeits that match, regardless of stocks/%.
- Distraction Rule: Verbal distractions are okay to a degree (try to be civil) however, physical distractions such as bumping someone's 3DS, putting your hand in front of their screen etc. will not be tolerated.
