Link Storm
Smash Apprentice
Hello! This is LinkStorm, announcing our 6th Smash tourney in EDC! This week we have a brand new venue, The Game Room Adventure Cafe in El Dorado Hills. Whether it will be a permanent venue is yet to be seen, but a return to weekly tourneys looks to be on the way!
If you can, please bring a setup. We only have 1-3 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: The Game Room Adventure Cafe (2085 Vine St #106, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762)
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 6 PM at the latest.
$5 entry fee for singles, $3 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)
- If a game goes to Sudden Death, the winner is determined by stock/percent lead. If this cannot determine a winner, then a 1 stock 3 minute tiebreaker game will take place on the same stage with the same characters.
- Either player can elect to do a Double Blind Character Selection
- If you are tardy 5 minutes after being called to a setup, you will be disqualified from the tournament.
- Pausing mid-match will result in the loss of a stock for the player who initiated the pause.
- Coaching is not allowed during a set.
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 1-3 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).
