UPDATE 3/26: Originally I posted this thread with the working title of 'Oversalt' because I didn't know what our main sponsor (UM SAPAC) wanted to call it, but since then they've gotten back to me with their official event name, Smash for Safehouse. So that's the tourney title. Sorry for any confusion!
Here, we're doing a charity event, but there will still be big prizes for the winners that UM SAPAC has been generous enough to provide to us! See the Entry Info section for more details. Basically, same rules at a familiar venue, just a different take on the prizes.
UM SAPAC is advertising across campus to bring in a ton of locals. They brought me on board to ensure the tourney is run with the standard Melee ruleset and because we can provide full setups, so I hope people can bring those. The decision was made to run Melee Singles only, with a pro bracket and amateur bracket to maximize playing time for everyone.
= Schedule =
1pm| Melee Singles Pools
-- | Food Break (must finish your singles pool first)
4pm| Melee Singles Bracket
8pm| Side Event (if enough interest)

2. Second person strikes the next two stages.
3. First person strikes one stage.
After each match:
1. Winner announces stage ban
2. Loser chooses counterpick stage

Doubles-Specific Rules:

= Miscellanous =
* Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (freezing, pausing, game reset, etc.) will result in forfeiture of the current stock for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
* Failure to report to your match within 10 minutes will result in forfeiture of the first game of your set, then forfeiture of the whole set after another 10 minutes has passed.
Get here on time! If you're late, call a tournament organizer (TO for short) and we'll try to work something out. Do not call asking for directions, it's your job to view/print the maps we provided.
