Link Storm
Smash Apprentice
Our fourth tourney for Smash EDC! Unfortunately, from this point on we can no longer host weekly. Round Table is having trouble accommodating us each week, so hosting is going to be a little more inconsistent. In the future, we hope to return to hosting our tourneys weekly.
If you can, please bring a setup. We only have 1-2 setups confirmed for every week, so any extras are welcome! Just make sure that it is a full setup if possible (all characters/stages, all DLC, version 1.1.7, console, monitor, and GC adapter).
Tourney info
------------------
Location: Round Table Pizza in Cameron Park (3370 Coach Ln, Cameron Park, CA).
- Once you walk in the front doors, head to the party room on the left.
BYOC (Bring Your Own Controller)
- The only controller you cannot use is a Wii U gamepad. Any controller issues (dead battery, malfunctions, etc) that occur will not change the outcome of a match.
- If your controller is found to be the cause of disruption in a tournament (mid-game or otherwise), you are subject to disqualification. To avoid this, remember to turn off / de-sync / unplug your controller after finishing a set.
Signups and friendlies start at 1 PM. Doubles start at 2 PM, Singles start at 3 PM, and the tourney ends at 5 PM at the latest.
$5 entry fee for singles, $5 per dubs partner for doubles. No venue fee.
Cash payouts are:
1st place: 60% of cash pot
2nd place: 30% of cash pot
3rd place: 10% of cash pot
(if there are 8 players or less, then the pot is split 75% for first and 25% for second.)
Cash payouts are the same for doubles.
Ruleset
-----------
- Double Elimination
- 2 stocks, 6 minutes
- Sets are best 2 of 3. Winners/Losers/Grand finals are best 3 of 5
- Custom moves/amiibo are NOT allowed.
- Mii Fighters are allowed (1111 only)

Stages
----------
Starters:
Battlefield*
Final Destination/Omega Stages**
Town and City
Smashville
Lylat Cruise
Counterpick:
Dreamland 64*
* Treated as Battlefield. If Battlefield is banned, Dream Land 64 is also banned and vice-versa.
** Banning Final Destination bans all Omega stages and vice-versa.
- For the first match in a set, the player that bans a stage first is decided by a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Winner bans 1 starter, loser bans 2 starters, followed by winner banning 1 starter until there is one stage left.
- Winner of game 1 then bans a stage from the starter/counterpick stages. Loser chooses from the remaining stages. All games after game 1 will follow this banning procedure.
- Players can play on any LEGAL stage if both agree to it.
- You cannot ban or choose a stage you've already won on in a set.
If you can, please bring a setup. We only have 1-2 setups confirmed for every week, so any extras are welcome! Just make sure that it is a full setup if possible (all characters/stages, all DLC, version 1.1.7, console, monitor, and GC adapter).
