BATTLE AT THE BORDER 3
November 7th, 2009
About Battle at the Border
The first year, Caveman and Rob$ swept up everything. Last year, Pozerwolf and RoyR ventured down for the challenge and Pozerwolf left with heavy pockets. Now, who will emerge victorious with the steaks raised higher than ever for the RGV.
This is the largest and best run annual tournament the RGV has to offer. Last year there were over 50 Brawlers and we hope to shatter that this year. With a guaranteed pot bonus announced for BRAWL and SF4 there is more hype than ever for BATB. Don't john about anything and just make out here! TEXAS THIS MEANS YOU! (other states welcome also :-* )

We are currently working with sponsors to increase pot bonuses, but you will be updated when we are :B

Melee will begin as Brawl is finishing, all side tournaments will follow after.
Other Games:
TBA
General Rules:
Brawl:
-MetaKnight IS NOT BANNED
-3 Stock
-8 Minute Time Limit
-Items are set to "off" and "none"
-All sets with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches, with the aforementioned Finals sets being best 3/5 games.
-In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors
-No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
-If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage
-Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
-Standing Infinites are BANNED which include (but not limited to) Dedede's small-step chain grab, Marth on Ness grab-release, etc
-Ice climber infinites are legal
-If a game ends with Bowser doing his suicide klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser. If a game ends in Gannondorf executing his over-b FTW then Ganon is declared the winner of the round.
-Players using a Wii-mote to play must take their batteries out when not playing. We will not tolerate this if it is broken!
-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.
