This Play 'N' Trade is brand new and we're looking to get a healthy smash scene started in the area.

Opening Hours
Mon-Sat.: 11-8:30pm Sunday: 12-6pm

Rules:

We will be testing out the Umbreons Brawl Rule Set with some minor alterations

- Matches are 3 stock, 8 minutes.

- Items are set to “off” and “none”.

- At the beginning of a set, each player may strike 2 stages from the available 11. Of these, only 1 can be from the 4 Neutrals listed above. You may however choose to strike 2 counterpick stages.

- 1st match, characters are chosen with double blind picks. After that, advanced slob picks - Loser of 1st match pick stages, the winner of the 1st match picks character, then loser of 1st match picks character. Continue this as necessary until the set reaches completion. Standard sets are best of 3, finals and semifinals are best of 5.

- All forms of stalling are banned. Stalling- The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. This includes MK infinite cape, excessive edge stalling, or any form of stalling under the stage (DK spin, sonic charge B, snake infinite down B teching, etc).

- Any suicide KOs on the final stock resulting in sudden death will result in a loss for the user of this tactic. If it would be a suicide KO and the match screen shows a decisive winner, go with that instead.

- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. In the event of a sudden death, both players are to suicide IMMEDIATELY. No fighting with bombs @ 300. At the results screen, regardless of what the screen says, the player with the higher DAMAGE TAKEN is the loser. No exceptions. In the result of a tie, the match will be discarded and played over, same characters and stage. For teams, if this should ever happen, add the damage taken instead for both teams.

- 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.

Additional Rules

- In the event that there is a dispute for controller ports or character color choice, both players will play Rock Paper Scissors for it.

- DDD's downthrow infinite is banned. However, the chaingrab is still legal. The chaingrab is noticeably different from the infinite, as there is a dash between grabs.

- Dave's Stupid Rule: No player may choose the stage that player last won on (unless agreed upon).

- You are not required to bring your own controller but it is recommended.

- You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings before a match is played.

- Don't be a douche. The tournament host reserves the right at any time to make you leave the tournament.

Additional Rules for Double's Play:

-Life Stealing is allowed
-Set team attack to "on."

Well the manager did want the tournament to happen on the 6th as it was a Saturday but I can ask him if he could change the date to Sunday or the following week.

Basically each player will tell a judge what character they are playing before they actually go to the character select screen. This helps avoid any disputes or the like.

i smell eazy money
Yea :laugh:

Unless they change the date because if they do then the same people will win Smash Bash and this. But leaving the date allows for other people to have a better chance at winning. Then again the actual tourny experience might be more important than winning.... Time will tell.

Since im changing the date of my tourny i very much want to come to this.

The ruleset is amazing. The only thign I would like to note for future tournies, or this one for that matter, is when a player does a suicide kill, I.E. ddd's inhale, on the last stock for both players, generally the match goes to the player with lower %, much like the results of a timed out match.


Other than that its amazing and i look forward to gettin at this.
