EACH PLAYER IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO BRING THEIR OWN CONTROLLERS TO THIS EVENT

Rules:

  1. 4 Stock
  2. 8 minute timer
  3. Double elimination brackets
  4. Best 2 out of 3
  5. Best 3 out of 5 in semifinals (winners and loser's finals)

  7. No items
  8. No in-game coaching
  9. Maximum of one minute of coaching allowed between games


Stage Selection
  1. Both players will elect to ban a stage from the available selection of stages. If a stage that is banned is randomly selected, the game may be restarted before it starts.
  2. If both players can agree on a stage to play, that will be the stage played on the first round. Otherwise, the first stage will be selected at random from Pool A.
  3. If the match is doubles, Fountain of Dreams and Mute City are banned from the selection.
  4. Counterpicking is allowed from any stage in Pool A or Pool B. See Counterpicks for more details.
  5. No stage may be used twice in a single set.

Pool A
  • Final Destination
  • Battlefield
  • Dream Land
  • Fountain of Dreams (banned from Doubles play)
  • Yoshi's Story
  • Pokémon Stadium

Pool B
  • Mute City (banned from Doubles play)
  • Green Greens
  • Rainbow Cruise
  • Kongo Jungle
  • Brinstar
  • Poké Floats
  • Corneria
  • Jungle Japes

Counterpicking

Since each set is to be played best 2 out of 3, here are the following counterpick rules:
  1. The loser may select a stage from Pool A or Pool B, as long as it is not a stage that has been previously played on in the set or a stage that was banned by either player at the beginning of the set.
  2. The winner may select a new character.
  3. The loser may select a new character. The winner must select his or her character first.

Glitches/Stalling
  1. Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the game or makes it unable to be finished are banned and will result in the immediate forfeit of the entire match, and possible disqualification from the entire tournament.
  2. Tactics such as Peach's Wall-bombing and Jigglypuff's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. If by using one of these tactics, you have put your character in a place to lose a stock by ending the tactic, a judge may force you to stop and lose a life and continue the match short a stock.
  3. The use of Wobbles is BANNED.

Disqualification
  • An entrant may be disqualified from any match if they perform any action above that merits disqualification, or by exhibiting poor sportsmanship, as judged by our staff. In the event of disqualification, there will be no refunds.

60/20/10? Unless my math's incorrect then 10% of the pot plus the 33% you already make is missing XD.

If that's the case it should say $9 of everyone's entry fee is added directly to the pot... cause $10 is a lie =/..

gosh darn it PlanetX. T.T

See that? That stage, up there? I'm going to cry at FC because it isn't in the neutral picks over there.

Also, I'll be sure to make this tournament.

Let me just reiterate this. There will be no tolerance for freeloading! It has come to my attention that this was taking place during our last tournament and we will not allow it to happen again!

Looking forwards to some MMs with people fresh from FC.

$20 is too rich for my blood, sorry. I'm not bleeding cash here. I'm confident, but not that confident that I could win always.

Anywho, I would do smaller mms than that. Dittos sound fun. Make sure you remind me the day of the tourny.

YTF does lain get this sort of special treatment. You MMed him for his entry fee last time, you should MM me for my entry fee this time. And oh, it's not free entrance, you'd have to actually pay the entry fee as to not gyp the winners.

I heard an interview with the MGC organizers, they are saying there should be tons of freeplay that day. Is anyone interested in coming out and meeting me and my crew out there?

I know a bunch of people are going to FC, but its free to enter this and you get $75 for first place so... I think its worth it. Plus they say theres uber casual time so there woult be plenty of chances to mess around and MM or otherwise.

In addition, there is a lockin at PX on saturday, we are planning on having smash on that occassion for most of the night. Fun day, looking like.

You've gotten tons better since smashtacular 2, tony, i'd be surprised if you did come in last, especially for it being right after FC.
