PLEASE BE FAMILIAR WITH THE RULES BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT BEGINS!

RULES
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

General
  • Double Elimination bracket
  • Breaking of rules may result in loss of a match, removal from tourney, or banning from future tourneys.
A. Game Settings
  • Stocks are set to 3 and Time is set to 8 minutes
  • All matches must be played best of 3 (⅔ to win) with the exception of Winner’s Finals, Loser’s Finals, and Grand Finals which are played best of 5 (⅗ to win).
  • Custom Fighters are turned off
  • Mii Fighters are allowed but must use default Specials. No equipment allowed.
B. Stage List
Starter Stages (9)
  • Final Destination
  • Battlefield
  • Smashville
  • Town & City
  • Duck Hunt
  • Delfino Plaza
  • Kongo Jungle 64
  • Lylat Cruise
  • Castle Siege
Counterpick Stages (4)
  • Wuhu Island
  • Halberd
  • Skyloft
  • Pokemon Stadium 2
Stage Striking:
During game 1, both players strikes in a 1:2:2:2: pick fashion. The player with the higher seed number strikes first and strikes 1 stage from the starter stage list. The player with the lower seed number then strikes 2 stages from the starter stage list. The player with the higher seed number then strikes 2 stages from the starter stage list. The player with the lower seed number then strikes 2 stages from the starter stage list. Finally, the player with the higher seed number picks a stage of the remaining two, and both players select that stage in it’s non-omega form.

During games 2 and 3, all previous stage strikes are removed. The Winner of the previous game strikes 3 stages from the Stage List (Both Starters and Counterpicks). The Loser of the previous game selects a counterpick stage from the remaining stages.

C. Other Rules

Character Rule:
During the setup of game 2 and game 3, the Winner of the previous game will select their character and announce to their opponent who they are picking. Then, the Loser of the previous game will select their character and announce to their opponent who they are picking. Both players MUST select the characters they announce, otherwise the match may be forfeited by those who break the rule.

Gentleman’s Rule/Gentlewoman’s Rule:
Any stage can be played on if both players agree to it. If a player breaks a rule but both players allow it to pass, then they may continue, however this can NOT pertain to the “Game Settings” section or the Tie Breaker rules.

DSR (Dave’s Stupid Rule):
A player/team may not pick any stage they previously won on during the set.

Palutena’s Temple:
If any one or both of the players clearly states that Final Destination’s background is intrusive, Omega Palutena’s Temple will replace Final Destination on the stage list for the game in question.

Disconnection Rule:
If a player is disconnected due to internet from a game more than 2 times in a match, they must forfeit. The player who is disconnected is defined by who is brought back to the Main Menu and who is brought to the With Friends screen. A player brought back to the Main Menu after receiving a disconnection error will count as the player who disconnected.

Sudden Death Rule: (Sudden Death’s result does not count towards anything)
If the timer runs out during any game, the player with the highest amount of stocks is declared the winner of that game. If the stock count between both players is equal, then the player with the lowest percent is declared the winner of that game. If both the stock count and percentages are equal, then a tie breaker will occur. TIE BREAKER RULES: 1 Stock, 2 minutes on Timer.​

Responsibility - All players are in charge of keeping track of their chat logs, replays, and any agreement made between players.

BY THE WAY: If you want to be seeded properly, please send some sort of rank you made in a tourney with the amount of total players. Thank you. Otherwise you will be seeded at the lowest in a random order.

Probably a 64 cap, but as of right now it doesn't seem we'll hit that. If we start getting an abundance of players I'll make the cap clear.

7 P.M. Pacific seems pretty late for a tournament, let alone 10, don't you think?

I made it that way to ensure people could do it, but I'm considering moving it up 2 hours or so.

I'll do that for the next tourney then. Apologies. Also nice to see you around, ^^
Don't apologize, if I can enter I will for sure, no guarantees though. Nice to see you around too, hopefully we can have a rematch sometime soon.

This is my first tournament so I don't know how this works. I know the rules of the tournament, but how do we all "meet" up or check in before the tourney starts? Also I don't have a twitch, do I need one? How do I communicate with the other players?

As it states at the very top of the post, a Twitch.tv account is required to communicate with players through chat. Check-ins open before it starts, you check-in using Challonge. Please read the post carefully, if you have any more questions, ask away ^^

Really disagree with the whole 3 stocks 8 minutes thing, very sluggish to watch and play, Apex/Evo rules are the best way to go IMO, but regardless, I'm in.
