OVERVIEW:
This tournament has been proposed in order to give non-ranked players a chance to gain more tournament experience and to improve the overall Smash skill of Southern California in general.

AllisBrawl link

Ranked players can attend, but will not be allowed to enter the tournament.
Here's a link to the current Socal Power Ranking thread.

Ranked players are allowed to come under three conditions:
1. They feel like teaching people.
2. They don't hog the TVs.
3. They don't enter the tournament.

WHEN:
September 12th, 2009

SCHEDULE:
The tournament will begin at 12 noon SHARP! Sign-ups begin at 11 AM and both SINGLES and DOUBLES will begin at 12! This will not be your typical Smash tourney that starts late! We only have the room for so long!

11 AM - Doors Open, Registration Begins
12 PM - Registration Ends, BOTH Singles Pools and Teams double-elimination bracket will begin at this time.
11 PM - Venue Closes, everything must be cleaned up before 11!

WHERE:
Quality Inn (Formerly La Quinta Inn)
14972 Sand Canyon Avenue
Irvine, CA 92618

HOW MUCH:
Venue fee: $5 *
Singles Entry: $3
Teams Entry: $2 per player ($4 per team)

In total you will pay $10 to enter all events. Since the venue fee is higher than originally planned (the venue wasn't as cheap as we thought), Doubles entry fee has been lowered, and the payouts have been slightly extended to 5th place in both events.

Pools for Singles, winners advance to a 16 or 24-man double elimination bracket.
A standard double elimination bracket will be used for Teams.
The bracket will be run using Tio tournament organizer.

* See General Rules

Stock: 4
Time: 8 mins
Sets: Best of 3
Items: OFF
Life stealing is allowed in teams

* Finals in both the Primary and the Elimination Brackets will be "Best of Five" games. Grand Finals will be "Best of Five", with the player coming from Elimination Bracket needing to win two Sets to take first place.
* In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors
* No player may choose a stage they have won on earlier in the set.
* In case of time-out, the winner is the player with the most stock. In case of tied stock, the winner is determined by lowest damage percent. In the event of a percentage tie, one stock sudden death will decide the winner on the last played stage.

* Neutrals may be banned.

Set Procedure - Follow these instructions for each match you play:

- Round 1 -
(1) Controller slots are agreed upon (randomly if need be).
(2) Character selection is done "Double Blind". Any player may instead choose a character before the opponent and skip Double Blind.
(3) Stage Select is determined by Elimination Method (see 'Stage Select - First Round', below).

- Round 2 -
(1) Winner of the Previous match bans a stage from the list of stages. Loser of the previous round announces the stage to be played - you may not choose a stage on which you have already won.
(2) Winner of the previous round selects character.
(3) Loser of the previous round selects character.
(4) Stage is highlighted by the previous round's loser, and started by the previous round's winner.

Repeat 1-4 for each additional round played.

So I guess there's no clear cut off between arcadian and non-ranked people. Enjoy the free money, formerly ranked people.

You have clearly not yet experienced the blender of sherigami and macd. Prepare to be enlightened.
actually if you remember at the last ucla I did face you two haha

I teamed with a Falco player at my school, we were down 0-1 on FD, we each had 1 stock left vs just MacD

MacD then down smashes like 5 times out of nowhere killing me and 1v1ing my partner sort of easily even though he had like 0 percent and MacD had 120

but I really think me and Pat got this, we'll see in Grand Finals
