Housing

I am offering housing friday and saturday nights, but there were too many of you last time. If that happens again you can kiss SMYM good-bye.
The front door should be unlocked--walk right in. And don't slam the basement door so hard!

the house has lots of gardens in the front yard.

Stuff

This is the championship for the Midwest Circuit Season 1--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.

$3 venue fee (waived if you bring a full setup, 13" or smaller TVs not eligible!)
$15 per person for teams, $15 for 1v1
15% of the pot is pulled for the Circuit Champions
Remaining pot will be split 60/30/10 for both teams and singles.

Tournament Rules


Tournament format can be found here: we are currently discussing some very minor changes, as you can see. Briefly, everyone will be seeded into round robins, and the top 32 will move to the next round. Then the top 8 will play in the final round.

•Stages/Characters:
••Stages limited to the 6 neutral stages for random, others open for counterpicks.
••Neutral stages: Battlefield, Final Destination, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Kirby 64, Pokemon Stadium
••Stages banned: Yoshi's Island, MKI, MKII, Venom, Big Blue, Flatzone, Icicle Mountain, Hyrule Temple, Fourside, Brinstar Depths,

Termina, and Yoshi's Island 64
••Dave's Stupid Rule: You may not pick the last stage where you won in the same set.
•Knock-out: Each person knocks out one stage for the entire match. This stage must be selected at the beginning of the match, after initial characters have been chosen.
•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 may be called at any time

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

Other Rules & Special Issues

-- Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), including cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are allowed. Andy himself uses a modded troll.
-- Stupid Fastliketree Rule: Various dickery such as throwing round robin matches may be grounds for disqualification.
-- Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are allowed. Go ahead!
--No stalling or making matches unfinishable or other such evildoing.
--You are responsible to BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER.

Wait... how did I miss that? I have always preferred Dave's rule as it was originally intended.
I'm going to change it now.

Yay actual tourney topic.

Um can people who are farther away get housing priority? Cincinnati kind of needs a place to stay :-\.

Sorry if that wasn't clear--housing is open to all this time. But if I have 1000 people like last time, I won't be happy.

And actually, at 4 hours you guys are quite low on the list! Omaha, KC, CoK, MN, WI... they've got you beat.

Yeah I know, I figured as much. I was just trying to say that people from Northern Illinois or whatever should be courteous for you and others needing a place to stay. Maybe viperboy will have a party or something and divert people again.

I just want to pop in here and say, "I <3 Andy, the Kishes, and Trail." Yes, I am bored an dtired, but I speak the truth!

Look at the influence the Midwest has had on me! I will come to FC this year or else you can all send me hate mail. <.<

Wheeeeeee... goodnight. Oh yea, come to HOST2. That is all. :psycho: :lick: :colorful: :bluejump:

goal is to beat cunning
Maybe you should try to beat me before trying to beat Cunning? ^_^ OH TRASH TALK!!

Andy, it's 15% pulled out for the pot. Maybe you'd wanna mention the RR thing? Just say all entrants seeded into RRs, and top 32 are pulled into more RR play. They can check the Midwest forum for details. Also, $3 venue fee? Unless we want to pull from the pot to pay for the place.

YAY CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

<3 JF!

I'm going to see if I can get Tari to come to this. We should be smashing tomorrow, and we did the other day. My man is rusty. I stomped him into the the ground with my Marth (not like that's not expected because I'm pretty much the greatest Marth alive).

If I can get him to come and learn to play anyone other than Falco (for teams) we'll be there kicking names and taking ***.

I have a copy of the rules saved that I modify each time. Looks like I had forgotten to modify such a number.

Team Ben would love to come to this.

But, having no points, will we screw up the dynamic of the pools? Or, more importantly, will I be gauranteed a really difficult pool?

And how would teams work for kevin and i, having no points?

thanks.

You guys would be unseeded for both, so yeah, it would be just a bit messy. You'd be placed just like anyone else who has 0 pts.
