Sorry I didn't make it. I came down with the flu the night before (I figured none of you wanted to share it with me) I will try to make it next month.

This time around, yes.

Pools at 5:30? Looks like I'm in. What do you think about running dubs? We could replace pools with dubs.

Depends on interest. I have no qualms against doing dubs instead of pools since we'll probably have a smaller turnout this month.

Just to confirm... this is on Friday, April 25th? I know it says that in the thread title, but in the OP April 26th is listed as the date

Rules
[collapse=General Rules]- Players who fail to report to their match within 5 minutes of it being announced will lose their first game of the match. After 10 minutes without reporting to their match, players will be disqualified from the tournament.
- Coaching is allowed only between games, not during.
- Bracket matches take priority over friendlies and money matches. The TO reserves the right to prematurely end any match.
- Non-first party controllers must be inspected by TO staff before use in tourney.
- Wireless controllers are discouraged due to interference and unreliability.
- 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.
- The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload said match.
- Any hacks or mods applied to a setup may be inspected by a TO, who reserves the right to have those hacks disabled if they are deemed inappropriate for tournament play.[/collapse]

- 4 stock, 8:00 timer. (exception: 99:00 timer if you're feeling frisky)
- Friendly Fire ON (doubles).
- Sets are played best two out of three games, with all Semi-Finals and Finals matches being played best three of five.
- Gentleman's Clause - Players may play on any stage if agreed on by all players.
- If a game times out, the winner is determined by stock, and then percentage. If both stock and percentage are the same, the game should be replayed in full.
- If Sudden Death occurs at the end of the game, play a one stock, three minute game with the same characters and stage.
