Counterpick Rule: The loser of the match first chooses the stage that the next match of the set will be played on. The opponent, then, makes the choice of changing character or not. than the loser of the match selects his/her character.

THERE IS NO CP RANDOM RULE YOU MUST CHOOSE A STAGE.

Infinite/extended dimensional cape is banned.
All Excessive "Stall" tactics are banned.
Controller Mods are banned
If there is a dispute over controller ports, play Rock Paper Scissors for it ( if you guys cannot do this I will flip a coin)
Suicide Move Rules: (all situations are when both players are at 1 stock)
If a player successfully ends the match with either Bowser or Ganondorf's over B attack by suicide, then the player who initiated the move wins.
If a player ends the match by swallowing with Kirby or DDD and falling off the stage and the game counts it as a tie, the player who initiated the swallow move wins. If the player who was swallowed is shown as winning the match (in the instance the broke out right before they died which some people might not notice), then they win.
No pausing in-game. Pausing in-game will result in the loss of a stock. The second warning will be loss of a match. The ONLY exception is, if a host(s) asks you to pause.
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 then it is decided by percentage. If both players have ONE STOCK and SAME PERCENTAGE 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
Violation of any rule is punishable by non-refunded disqualification.
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 then it is decided by percentage.

Little story about these "tournaments", to those of you so uninformed.

The last tournament that I attended there was a FFA, Four player, with items on, on a created stage, best 4/7

Unless they are vastly overhauled in a good way, I don't expect I'll be going to one.

I happen to be good friends with like 80% of the PnT employees. I'm long friends with Blake and Eric(Stongers knows Eric). They're all fairly chill people, with the exception of one douchebag.

in response to kadaj......it would have to make financial sense to them though. If only a few people show up to these (I hope to attend as many as I can but I can't speak for everyone) and they only seem to get in the way of the second tourney they'll probably drop these as quick as keith dropped diddy (lol j/k keith)

I talked to the store manager Daryl... We had already agreed it would be my rules and my tournament! He will make tones of money. These tourneys will be redone my way. I do them legit. He agreed to most of everything since i bring professionalism to the table... The only thing i have to work on with him is cash payouts and not store credit... This is possible just gonna take some time. He said we can even bring our own tv's if you dont wanna use the lag ones.

Btw if you went there and know the place where are you located... We should play soon... I never heard of you.

This should only be 30-40 minutes away from UNCC, which is great. There's a high chance that a decent bunch of us will come.

Really like the sound of these! If it's a larger store and the manager is really making this effort to run legitimate tournaments for publicity, and if you can do a good job with it yourself, I think these could be awesome.

I'm pretty sure I will make plans to come whenever the first one happens to be.

EDIT: I also have been to a handful of Play N Trade tournaments for Smash up at a few in North Raleigh, all were at least watched over or ran by a friend of mine who is VERY casual at Smash but still makes an effort with what he understands, since he knows me and has seen me play and my tournaments he appreciates the scene. Some of them were still a little wack, but nothing unexpected, rules like FD only for both games, choosing one character for the tournament, so on. But they all had the right stocks/time and some of them even had bo3 sets and/or double elim brackets, so especially considering 90% of the entrants wouldn't understand regular tournament rules anyways, I thought they were fun and not run horribly. Honestly the worst thing about the ones I have attended was using just 1 or 2 TV's there, and them being maximum lag LCD's, and not being allowed to bring my own setup. But for tournaments that small, not a big deal. If they had been a bigger store and with over 20 entrants at any of them, probably would have been run properly, so I'm expecting at least a decent tourney.

and honestly the hdtv's are alright, we just need component cables, which hopefully they have or can provide since it's a store that should be selling them. =P
otherwise i know like at least 2 people have sets of component cables.

depending on how many people would plan to attend, you can expect anywhere from 1 to 4 tv's and wii's brought by other people (which isn't much but considering you already have some setups, people won't be trying as hard to bring them).

thats not the attitude! Lets play sometime... where u at?
Lol. I'm just a guy who likes to smoke a lot of illegal stuff, and play melee.

I live in Fort Mill, South Carolina. I work in Charlotte though, it's like 10 minutes away.

I think we've actually met before, btw.

I'll play some brawl I guess.

But I love melee long time.

Weddington is like... 30-40 minutes from me, IIRC. I know the owners of all the Play N Trade stores in the Charlotte area, and they live in weddington, I think.

To help you when you ask for dates, here are all of the upcoming weekends and tournaments in NC:

11/6 - Pause and Play
11/13 - Duke (Brawl) / Getting In The Green (Melee)
11/20 - (open weekend)
11/27 - (open weekend)

Well after looking it seems there wasn't much to tell you. xD

Just this and next weekend have tournaments, otherwise there's nothing scheduled past the next weekend. I will probably use one of those dates for another NCSU, or maybe even another week later. But I don't know yet, feel free to use whatever weekend you want since you have an actual store to schedule with
