Regular Tournament 2
San Antonio Monthlies
October 25th, 2014
San Antonio, TX

Brought to you by:

Schedule
Venue opens at 12:00 PM, so that's the earliest you can show up!

Tournament Schedule
2:00PM| Melee Singles begin
6:00PM| Melee Teams begin
  • Registration for all events will start at 12:00PM.
  • Exact change is appreciated, but not necessary. Helps keep payout pools separate without too much hassle.
  • Full setups must arrive before 2:00 PM in order to qualify for the $5 venue fee refund.
Entry Info
Venue Fee: $5 per person (required from all attendees)
Melee Singles: $5 per person
Melee Doubles: $5 per person($10 per team)


The tournament is open to anyone and everyone! Just show up to the venue on the day of the tournament on time and bring the following:

What to Bring
1. Enough cash for the events you wish to enter (see the prices above)
2. Your own controller (GameCube controller)


If you bring a full setup for any game, we will refund your $5 venue fee at the end of the tourney.
A full Melee setup is a CRT TV, GameCube/wii, Melee disc, and fully unlocked memory card.


Prizes
Prizes for each individual event are distributed from the money pot as follows:


Payouts
Under 50 entrants

1st: 60%
2nd: 30%
3rd: 10%


Over 50 entrants
1st: 55%
2nd: 30%
3rd: 10%

4th: 5%
Rules
We will be using the MBR Ruleset. It can be found here.
Code of Conduct:
  • All ejections or disqualifications due to violations of the Code of Conduct or individual game rules will be without refund.
  • No alcohol or illegal substances inside the venue. Getting caught with these items or evidence of the presence of these items will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
  • No fighting or weaponry inside the venue. Throwing controllers or acting in a way that could pose a danger to other players will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
  • No refusal to play on certain TVs or setups will be tolerated barring extreme circumstances. All players agree to have their matches recorded if requested by the TO.
  • Be on time to your match. You have 5 minutes from when it's called to be at your station or you forfeit the first game. If you are 10 minutes late you forfeit the match and are either out or in losers.
Collusion (Pot splitting, bracket rigging, etc):
I don't tolerate collusion of any kind. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to see it. I don't make money off this event. I give up my Saturday to run this event. I do this because I want the San Antonio and surrounding scenes to have another tournament to go to. If you are strapped for time come talk to me. We can work something out.

In the case that 2 or more placing players are caught colluding, prize money will be redistributed to the next qualifying tier of players. This will be a pain for everyone involved. Don't do this.

WE NEED PEOPLE TO BRING TVS!
I can only provide a couple TVs to start with, so it's up to the rest of the community to bring more and make the event easier to run. More setups means more friendlies and more playing time, so please do your part if you have equipment to lend us for the day. Remember, if you bring a full setup, we will refund your $5 venue fee at the end of the tourney.

I'll be sure to make it and be even stronger than I was on the 27th! Beware the Pichu :3
Also, Zhea, could you explain to me how the seeding for these tournaments is calculated?

For the last one? Poorly. I was not expecting 55 entrants to show up and Challonge is **** at random seeding. We won't be using it again. At this event if we get over 40 I am straight up doing pools. Seeding going into pools will kind of be based on the PR. If you are not on the PR, well it's based on how you did last time or if you've been going to these longer, other past performances. However it's very rough.

Also I want to apologize to everyone who had to fight their friend first round. Challonge did not randomize the rest of the seed and I realized it was a problem far too late. It's kind of what happens when I go from having to know about 20 names on the list to 50.

these are pretty much monthly with the exception of November, cause overlord is going to visit family and I'm a PM TO that probably won't be running anything melee related other than smashfests.
which is kinda funny, since I don't compete in pm.

will there be P:M?
No

No
Damn it, the one time PK-T is actually trying to help and not trolling me.

There will be a November tournament. It will most likely be on the 22nd.

@ Zhea Zhea you might get a little bit more than expected. If it's close to the amount of entrants as last time then cool. but if it's more, than I might've had something to do with it. :rolleyes:
