RULES

-8 minute time limit on all matches. Items off.

-Ties are broken by remaining lives, then %. If both criteria are tied, then the Sudden Death match will be played out.

-First stage is random from the Neutral stages listed below.

-Each player is allowed to reset the random stage once; this forces a new random stage to be picked. If the new stage has been previously reset by either player during the same set, that stage is reset again. (Random Stage Reset)

-The loser of the first match will announce a new stage to play on for the next game. The winner will then be allowed to switch characters, followed by the loser. Apply the same logic for the third match (and fourth/fifth when applicable) if there is one. (Advanced Slob Picks)

-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.

-Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime before the first game of a set starts, and only apply to the first game.

-Each person may choose one counter-pick stage to be disabled for the entire set at the START OF THE SET, after characters have been chosen but before the random stage has been picked. You may not ban neutral stages.

-Controller Mods, Glitches (IC Freeze Glitch, Mewtwo Soul Stunner, etc), and tactics used to stall a match (wall-bombing, rising pound), are banned.

-Wobbling is not banned.

Brackets:

Bracket matches are best 2 of 3, 4 stock.
Winners' bracket finals, losers' bracket finals, and championship sets are all best 3 of 5.

Stages:

Singles Neutral: Final Destination, Dream Land 64, Fountain of Dreams, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Pokemon Stadium
Singles counterpicks: all Singles Neutral stages plus Pokefloats, Rainbow Cruise, Jungle Japes, Kongo Jungle 64, Mute City, Brinstar, Green Greens, Corneria.

That tourney is in Elk Grove and each Play N Trade is individually run, so whether or not they post it is up to them...I don't even know where Elk Grove is =/

As for the shirts I believe they are sold at all Play N Trades, but they are all not the same.

Err...I don't know if tyhe managers will be running the brackets or not, but if I am doing it I will send it to you.

Also I actually wanna try and convince the managers on doubles. Especially if we have a huge turn out, I'll probably try to tell him that we could give only a first prize away or something. =/ We'll have to see but I am expecting a pretty decent amount of people will show up considering flyers are going like crazy.

I dont know I think Psychomidget said these tvs are less laggy then the ones at district...not sure, but come on everyone knows the one at the UCI center doesn't know a thing about games lol

Yup everyone come and enjoy.

The cool difference with us is I heard the brackets are shown in our big screen behind the counter at all times. :cool:

great tournament, good job to everyone (even those that got owned)

DCmoney -we had one hell of a set, good games man. I'm glad we could make amends and everything, :)

Alex-why are you so dam good? Good games man, I'm just happy I took a match off of you >_<

Claire-your jiggz is awesome, just learn to handle campers or chainthrow, either one works when you play an annoying pikachu :) My voice is gonna move up the female power rankings now lol

Aznforce-you seemed to have gotten a LIIIIITTLE better, good job stealing that win from Psychomidget on Jungle Japes, alligator hacker....>=O

Paul (luigi player)-You seemed to have gotten better, that Mario of yours was really scary, you'll beat me next time. Sheik is just too gay to lose to the Mario Bros. :)

Paul (Lamb of God)-it was nice sort of talking to you xD

Andrew-We haven't played in forever, your Fox seemed to improve a lot!! Good job making a 7 year old cry and laugh about it...ASSSHOLE!!!!

Cameron-We haven't played in forever, your Fox improved a lot more than Andrew's :p and it scared me so much in tournament >_<

LuigiTheButcher-Thanks again for telling me about the tournament and stuff, sucks that you didn't get to play T__T

I kind of forgot everyone I played that isn't too well known xD

Lots of thanks to the hosts!! Super Mario Galaxy for only $28 is amazingly awesome!!! I hope you guys post when you have smash tournaments again, I really wanna come back and just play everyone again.

"c0nn0r - you suck"

Now that should be quoted for greatness hahaha

Any feedback you guys want to tell me about the tourney so I can pass the message on?

Also I thought the funniest thing was when someone called and asked David(the manager) "Are you Luigi?" and he was like "No?" and then the person said is Luigi There? and He was like "Luigi is a character in a videogame!" :lol:
