Show Me Your Moves 10

Saturday Aug 1 2009
11AM - 12AM (that's midnight!)
Doors open at 9AM, signups start at 10AM
Tourney starts at 11AM, not noon!
Building must be vacated by midnight.

McKinley Church and Foundation
809 S. Fifth St.
Champaign, IL 61820

Intersection of Fifth and Daniel. Park in the multi-level parking lot on the other side of Fifth street--parking elsewhere may get you towed.

Stuff

This is the championship for the Midwest Melee Circuit--you know how it works by now, right?? There are prizes for top placers at the tournament as well as prizes for top point-earners throughout the entire season.

$5 venue fee (waived if you bring a TV that is not small)
$10 per person for teams
$15 for singles
15% of the pot is pulled for the Circuit Champions
Remaining pot will be split as follows:
1 - 60%
2 - 30%
3 - 10%
4 - $10 (per person)
5 - $5 (per person)
The TO may be taking a reasonable cut (to be determined) as compensation for his hard work.

Tournament Rules

Doubles and singles pools will be seeded primarily by circuit points, and randomly for those with no points. Doubles pools will feed into a bracket of 16 teams; singles pools will feed into a bracket of 64 players. Doubles pools--and possibly singles pools--will be 3 stock. Everything else, time permitting, will be 4 stock.
Winners' Finals, Losers' Finals, and Grand Finals for both tournaments will be sets of 5. All other matches will be sets of 3.

•Stages/Characters:
••Stages limited to the 6 starter stages for random, others open for counterpicks.
••Starter stages: Battlefield, Final Destination, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams (singles only), Kirby 64, Pokemon Stadium
••Counter stages: Rainbow cruise, Brinstar, Mute City (singles only), Poke Floats, Corneria, Jungle Japes, Green Greens, Kongo Jungle, Mushroom Kingdom II
•Dave's Stupid Rule: You may not pick the last stage where you won in the same set.
•Knock-out: Each person may knock out one stage for the entire match. This stage must be selected before any stages are chosen for the set.
•Advanced Slob Picks - Loser may choose the next stage or elect to go random, then winner may choose to change characters, then
loser may change characters
•Double Blind pick for the first game of a set may be called at any time
•Wobbling is banned

•Special Team Rules:
• Team Attack ON
• Life stealing allowed
• Fountain of Dreams and Mute City are banned

Other Rules & Special Issues

-- Controller modifications: removal of components/buttons and cosmetic changes are allowed. Other modifications, add-ons, or turbo/programmed buttons are not allowed.
-- Naughtiness such as throwing round robin matches may be grounds for disqualification.
-- Being absent for your match for more than X minutes/calls will be grounds for forfeiture, where X is subject to time constraints and the TO's remaining patience.
-- No stalling (making yourself unreachable by your opponent) or making matches unfinishable or other such evildoing.
-- You are responsible to BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER.

Housing & Help

For directions:
Andy (217) 766-4794 (NOT between 12AM-7AM or I'll be really mad)
Tom "marth1" (815) 814-5309

I can pick you up from Willard airport, but I won't house you. If you fly into any other airport, you'll have to get a ride from someone else.
At this time, only viperboy has offered (limited) housing: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=237108
Google knows a lot more about local hotels than I do, so ask him.

Has darkrain missed any? I think he may be one of only two people who has been to every one (the other being me, obviously).

Well, hopefully I have a vehicle by August which is very likely...all I know is I definitely want to make it to another one of these...before August 12th would be AMAZING, but I can't even get out of pools yet alone take 1 round off of anyone yet(other than doubles, EP and I did win a MATCH, OMG!) so I don't blame anyone if me saying this doesn't impact the date at all xD Just sayin', early August sounds fantastic ^_^!
