Pools will be announced before they begin. Each pool will be assigned a set of TVs and a pool captain. Pool captains will be in charge of the pool - keeping it going smoothly, and explaining any rules.
Bracket Matches will be announced with a numbered TV.
Singles Pools - Sudden Death Round
On Saturday Morning/Afternoon there will be an extra round of pools. This is another chance for eliminated players to make it into bracket. And it's an opportunity for those who could not come friday to enter.
Second Chance for Eliminated Players
Of the players eliminated from the tournament on Friday, the player with the best record from each pool will be entered into the Sudden Death round.
Example: Top 4 Advance from Pools*. You barely lost to a jerk-store Peach player and got 5th seed. You will advance into the Sudden Death Round of pools.
*Not the actual amount. The number who advance from pools will be determined at the tournament.
Last Chance Entry
If you could not make it to the tournament on Friday and still want to enter, you can register for the Sudden Death round on Saturday Morning.
Entry Fee will be the same as on Friday.
Note:
There will not be many pools. If you carpool and enter - you'all may be in the same death pool. The TOs will try their best to split you up accordingly.
If you are a super pro and don't feel like entering friday - Players who advance from sudden death pools will get low seeding into the bracket.
Food
We will be selling snacks at the venue.
There's a Subway 3 min walk from the Church.
McDonald's, Papa Johns, Jimmy John's, or Local Diners (Rosie's) are within 5 min car ride.

Cactuar Stamina Pancake Ruleset
Cactuar (by Cactuar)
- Best of 7
- Random stage from everything except Icicle Mountain, Hyrule Temple, Brinstar Depths, and Big Blue
Stamina (by Nintendo)
- Stamina Mode
Pancake (by Zjiin)
- Random characters
- Starting with the winner from the last game, each player may decide to "flip" either character, meaning re-random them.
- For the first match, decide randomly who flips first (via rock-paper-scissors).
Rules Clarifications
- If Zelda is randomed, re-random again to determine if you got Zelda or Sheik. The top 2 rows = Zelda, the bottom row = Sheik. This makes it very rare to have sheik, since she destroys low tier characters.
- Select pichu before randoming. This is done to prevent disputes getting the same character twice in a row. If you "accidentally" hit B to repick Pichu, you are stuck with him.
- If you can't tell who won the match, replay the game.
- Wobbling is LEGAL.

General Rules
-BYOC (Bring your own controller): Players are expected to bring their own controller and be prepared for every tournament set.
-Pause can be requested off and that request cannot be denied. If one pauses mid-match, the person who initiated the pause loses their current stock. If the pause causes the opponent to lose their stock (Such as interfering with recovery), the person who initiated the pause loses two stocks. If there is any doubt in the ruling of a pausing incident, stop what you are doing and CALL ONE OF THE TOs TO YOUR MATCH.
-You are responsible for your own controller and name tag.
-Coaching is allowed only between games, not during.
-DQ Rule: Arriving too late for a match will result in a DQ. Player(s) will have 5 minutes to show up before a loss of the first match. 5 more minutes results in a loss of the set. For doubles, both players on a team need to be present in order to play.
-The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload said match.
-Players may request that any texture, stage, or other hacks be disabled during a tournament set. If this is unable to be done, they may switch to a different setup if available.
