Welcome! This new and improved topic should fit the need of most players.

Waba Game (http://www.wabaclub.com [Give it a second to load the main page]), a game retail store/Console gaming center in the Atlanta Area(Duluth, GA to be specific) is hosting a singles and doubles cash tournament September 29th starting with doubles at 3:00 PM to whenever.

Come and join us!

**Basics**

The door fee will be $10.
Entrance to singles : $5
Entrance to doubles : $5 per person on a team.

First places receives 70% of the pot.
Second receives 20% of the pot.
Third receives 10% of the pot.

This applies for both singles and doubles.

It will be double elimination. You will find the specific rules further down.
We recommend bringing your own controller, but if you can't,
do not worry, there are plenty here.

If you pre-register you will be allowed to come as early as 11:00 AM to practice/play with other smashers/play other games until the tournament begins! This is a gaming center after all, and it's a friendly community. If you cannot pre-register, by all means come by and hang out or pay to play. You may also come in any day to check out the facility. There are always smash players here.


FEATURES H.D Tv's, but we know of the issue of smash and those T.V's, so there will be 7+ normal T.V's for your gaming pleasure. :)

Hey guys, a quick update on some things.

There will be snacks for anybody coming, including Ice Cream, Hot Pockets, and Pizza later in the evening
for anybody who wants some. Competition and relaxation is the goal here.

During the tournament, as you're waiting for the match, they'll be playing movies/anime/Tekken 5 on the big screen T.V, and there will be an assortment of things to do as you mingle around.

Like I said, if ANYBODY needs a ride before the tournament, let me know, I will freaking go out of my way to get you here to have some fun.

And last but not least; Min, the owner, is running this company strictly based on forming a community.
I just got done talking to him, and after this tournament, there will be some changes for future smash tournaments.

A) There will be no conflicting dates. I really apologize, and to Min more than anything, because
I find it my fault that all of this has happened in the first place.

B) We were ignorant on the topic of door fees and pot money. I assure you, while you pay the door fee, they'll do their best to make it up to you. I swear it. In the future, after this tournament, for future smash tourneys, there will be a lower door fee(He was actually talking not making a door fee at all), and just money for the pot.

If any questions at all, please forward them to me here, or PM me about it. Thanks a lot.

We want to make an impression on you, so if you have any concerns or advice, let us know.


**Singles Main Tournament Rules(Sep 29th)**

8:00 Time Limit
4 Stock
No Items

MLG RULES AS FOLLOWED

*No stage may be used twice in a Best-of-3 or Best-of-5 games match if the player making the counter pick has already won on that stage in the match.

*Each player is allowed one stage knock-out, thereby disabling that stage from the entire match. Stage knock-outs must be made at the beginning of the match after initial characters have been chosen but before the start of Game 1.

*After each game of a match, the player who lost the previous game may choose the stage for the next game or elect for it to be chosen randomly. After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters.

*Before the start of any game in a match, a player/team may call for a double-blind pick. This means that all participating players must tell a judge the character they will use for that game. Each player is required to use that character in the game.

*In the Championship Match, if the player coming from the Losers Bracket wins the first match, another match must be played to break the tie since both players would only have one match loss.

Other Rules & Special Issues
1. Any unnecessary pausing of the game will result in a forfeit of that single game.
2. Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the game or makes it unable to be finished are banned and will result in the immediate forfeit of the entire match.
3. Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage: Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. If by using one of these tactics, you have put your character in a place to lose a stock by ending the tactic, a judge may force you to stop and lose a life and continue the match short a stock.
4. Wobbling, also known as the Ice Climbers infinite, is banned. A player caught wobbling will be subject to a penalty: playing the next game down a stock, forfeiture of the next game, or forfeiture of the match.

Great to hear so early that people
from the board will be attending.
The turn out should be pretty large, since Waba
already has a good amount of regulars.

Do you really live nearby Anomic? o_O

Actually, 10$ door fee is pretty different from the norm. Normally we keep it to 5$. In fact, the only other GA tournament known to charge a door fee is mine/CDE's Get 4 Stocked series. We charge 5$ per person, and the owners always profit approximately 300$ from that alone (granted, we average 50 people per tournament so far). The reason for our door fee is so the owners don't take an actual cut from the pot itself, and everyone knows exactly how much money goes to the winners.

However, I do understand why 10$ would be common for you as a door fee (I know Halo tournaments in GA normally charged that much as a door fee back in 2005). No gripes about it from me :)

"The reason for our door fee is so the owners don't take an actual cut from the pot itself, and everyone knows exactly how much money goes to the winners."

Correct.

Plus, unlike most tournaments, this is being held at an actual console community gaming business, which is rare among console gaming.
Smash has been a frequent request among the regulars for a tournament, so we're
excited about it.

Too true. And actually, we host ours at a LAN center as well. Their business is based around PCs/Xboxes/PS2s. No cubes whatsoever, but those of us bring them in get a cheaper rate ^.^.

Anyways, back on topic.

I totally understand, and I hope everyone else understands too.

Also, do you need more copies of Smash? I can bring a GC and Smash if needed.

And if there are any people in the Athens/Watkinsville area, I can fit two more people in my car. Just give me a PM with addresses/phone #s.

Most definitely, copies and extra cubes would be certainly and thankfully welcomed!
