Doubles:
In the event of a TIE at the end of the time limit, the player with the most stocks wins. If both players have ONE STOCK the players will quit the SUDDEN DEATH, set the stock to one, and start a match with stage being the same as where they had the tie. This will determine the winner.
Each Round is best of three matches; Grand/Losers/Winners Finals are best of five matches*
Singles seeding will be random with some courtesy to crews – you will be spaced evenly as to prevent playing each other in the first round. One of the two criteria must be fulfilled in ordered to be favored. You MUST have 3 or more people in a group hailing from the same region, or you must be part of a crew. Teams seeding will be done randomly.
In case more than 64 people come, Singles seedlings will be determined by pools – each player will be assigned to a pool, and each pool will play 2 Three (3) stock matches in a round robin. If a player wins a match, he must inform an official of how much stock he had remaining. Players will continue to play with each other until each player has played all of the other players in the pool twice. The lowest ranking players will be cut off from each pool, so much so until it meets the conditions of a 64-man bracket. All stages for pools are picked randomly, and all character selections will be double blind pick – both players must whisper their character choices for that match to an official, and then immediately select those characters afterwards.
D1's input:
<I honestly say these are the most fair rules ever cuz everyone is given an even playing field and a chance to win...no BS stages to count on for stupid kills. Contrary to popular belief about this game, at least the better player will be able to win on the fair stages...as long as gimmicky stages are on ppl will lose the love to return to these tourneys and probably will start attending oos Brawl tournies where "real rules are".>
...as much ppl want Friday night weeklies...its obvious that w/ the big attendance we can't continue to keep holding these on Fridays w/ a limited time slot...
...no one remembers how Saturday events are the best? You get there by like noon and leave around 8 or 9 mad easy. Not everyone that attends these weeklies has parents that don't talk sh** to them for getttin home late on Fridays. I bet if you had these on Saturdays less ppl will drop out as well...
