Hey guys. First let me say thanks to all who came to the last PowerPlay tourney. It was a lot of fun and a pretty big turnout. I asked PowerPlay about having another one, and they said it would be great. So here it is.

Attending:

If attending, I'll be adding your name to the list. If maybe attending, I'll be adding a "(m)"
beside your name. If bringing a setup, I'll be adding an "S" by your name

Toast(S)
Iori(S)
ihavespaceballs
Handorin(S)


Entry Fee:

$10 Venue Fee
$10 Pot

Sign Ups:

Melee: Saturday April 17th. Sign ups start at 4PM and the tourney starts at 5PM.
Brawl: Pending for April 18th at 5PM. If you want Brawl, respond in this thread or contact me.

Prize: Cash Pot

70% for 1st
20% for 2nd
10% for 3rd

Setups:

Setups are needed. I'll be bringing 2 setups and a TV. There are TVs here, but they're LCD flat screens and do have a tiny lag.

Melee!!

Singles:

• Double Elimination.
• All matches are best of 3, with finals best of 5.
• 4 stock, 8 minute time limit
• Items OFF

Stages:
• First stage is limited to the 7 neutral stages for random picking, others open for counterpicks.

• Neutral stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams (see note in Special Team Rules), Dreamland 64 and Pokémon Stadium. Fountain of Dreams is on random for singles only. DK64 and Rainbow Cruise is on for doubles only.

• Banned Stages: Yoshi's Island (Pipes), Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom 1, Venom, Yoshi's Island 64, Peach's Castle, Kongo Jungle, Onett, and Great Bay

• No stage may be used twice in a single match, either by random select or by picking

• Knock-out: Each person knocks out one stage for entire set. This stage must be selected at the beginning of the match, after initial characters have been chosen.

• Advanced Slob Picks - Loser may choose the next stage or elect to go random, then winner may choose to change characters, then loser may change characters

•If both players agree to play a stage (whether banned or stage already played), it can be allowed.

•Bring your own controller

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

Note: Cash Pot isn't set in stone so if you want a $5 cash pot instead of $10, respond in this thread contact me.

I finally get to attend one of these, awesome. So we're actually encouraged to bring TVs this time, as opposed to their use for tournament matches being banned?

I'm pretty sure I can make this (with a setup). I'll just make sure I get off of work.

Yeah after feeling the lag time at the last tourney, I knew we needed TVs for the next one. Oh and if you're bringing a TV, do you think you could come early so we can set up ahead of time?

Oh snap! I do believe the gauntlet has been thrown. I'll see you guys there. I'm expecting to lose, but also get myself some practice. I'm not sure I even know how to play Melee.

Prom is waaaaaaaaaaaay over rated, but if you already wasted spent all that money on it, then go ahead and go there.

pot split sucks but thats just me.

imo 60% 25% 15% still gives big amount for first but also makes the 2nd and third place a little happier

(maybe this guy happier but doubtful)

I'm going regardless, but $20 entry fee is really gonna discourage local, non-smashboards people from entering. Is that the only way Powerplay would agree to do cash prizes instead of store credit, Toast?

Well if everyone wants the pot split up that way, that's fine by me ^-^

well facebook has it as 20$ entry fee which seems way too expensive
$20 entry fee includes pot as well.

Freaky sig

@ all it dosen't matter what the venue fee is lol, but then again I get free entry X3c
I'm ready for you this time Iori ^-^

Well its about to start soon, and I hope to see everyone there. :laugh:
