*UPDATE*The planned date has been chosen as 2/3/07

Due to popular demand, the smashfest that was planned has been changed to a tournament. =)

Location: 3215 Autumn Bridge Lane, 77084 (Mike's House)

Time: Starting at 12, be there earlier to warm up and get ready.


We have 3 Tv's and Smash on each, but we could use a lot more.

Bring Tvs, Cubes/Wiis, Smash, Memory Card

Bring your own controllers

Bring money for extra food if you want

Bring friends

Label your **** so it doesnt get stolen


_____________________
Money

Entry - 2$ per person
1v1 Singles- 10$ per participant
2v2 Doubles- 5$ per participant (10$ per team)




"PAY
PLAY
OR
GO
AWAY"


The nice rhyme was thought up by TGM :)
Do NOT show up just to do friendlies until the tournament is finished
_____________________
Prizes


1st - 70%
2nd - 20%
3rd - 10%

Ricey - 100% :)

_____________________
Rules (I stole em from TGM I hope he doesn't mind :)

1. The higher seed has first choice for their seat(s) and controller port(s). The higher seeded team has first choice for their team color. Teams must sit together on one side or the other. If players/teams meet for a 2nd time in the Championship Bracket, the winner of the 1st series will have seat and controller choice.

2. The stage for Game 1 will be selected at random unless both players/teams can agree on a stage. After the stage has been randomly selected each player/team may call for a reset. Each player/team can only call for a reset once during a series. If a reset is called, another stage must be randomly selected. The stage that was first selected can’t be randomly selected again, but is still available for a counter pick.

3. Singles random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium

4. Doubles random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Rainbow Cruise, Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium, DK64

5. Stages not listed on the random select list that are not banned are open for counter picks by the losing player.

6. Stages banned for Singles Only: Great Bay and Mushroom Kingdom 2 and Onett

7. Stages banned for Doubles Only: Fountain of Dreams and Mute City and Onett

8. Stages banned for Singles & Doubles: Yoshi’s Island (Pipes), Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom 1, Venom, Yoshi's Island 64, Peach’s Castle, and Kongo Jungle and Onett.

9. No stage may be used twice in a Best of 3 or Best of 5 Series. The random select stages are the only stages that may be used more than once in a best of 11 series.

10. After characters have been selected for the first game, each player/team may choose to knock out one stage. Stages that are knocked out won’t be used during the series.
Random select stages can’t be knocked out. The lower seeded player/team must make their knockout selection first. Once the first game has started, stages can’t be knocked out.

11. After each game of a series, the player who lost the previous game may choose the stage for the next game or elect for it to be chosen randomly. After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters.

12. For the first game of a series, a player may call for a double-blind pick. This means that all participating players must tell a judge the character they will use for that game. Each player is required to use that character in the game.

13. During Championship Bracket competitions, players may ask for a double-blind pick during games four and five of a series. Players must call for the pick after the loser of the previous game has chosen the next game’s stage.

14. If players/teams meet for a 2nd time in the Championship Bracket, their series will expand to a best of 11, include the previous series, and pick up where that series left off. For example, if Player A beat Player B 3 games to 0 in the Winners Bracket, the Best of 11 will resume with Game 4 and Player leading 3 games to 0. The loser of the 1st series will choose the stage for the 1st game of the 2nd series and players may call for a double-blind pick before any game throughout the best of 11.

15. If the players/teams meeting in the Championship Match have not yet faced each other in a series and the team coming from the Losers Bracket wins first series, another series must be played to break the tie since both players/teams would only have one series loss.

16. Any unnecessary pausing of the game will result in a forfeit of that single game.

17. 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.

18. Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly'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.

19. Players/teams may designate a coach when they register for a competition, however, this coach may not be registered as a player for either a Singles or Doubles competition. Coaches may not instruct players during games, but may consult with players for a maximum of 1 minute between games. Once the stage for the next game has been selected, players may not talk to their coach.

20. For Doubles matches, Team Attack is ON

21. For Doubles matches, life stealing is allowed

22.Any stage can be played on if both players agree.

Uh, is it possible to go ahead and move the tourney back to Feb 3? It seems the DANTEBAYO tournament wii have two tournaments one on Jan 27 and another on Feb 10 after all...or at least that is what it says right now...

I've already requested next Saturday off from work, and it would be a pain to do it again for Feb 10. I'm sure other people who have work would feel the same...

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and suggest that it be pushed again to Feb 17, because I'm sure some people want to attend DANTEBAYO and this tournament. What a mess. :ohwell:

we cant do that. I'm going to Big Bend National park the week of the 17th. I cant do the 27th either, my cousins are coming from chile that day. It has to be the 3rd or the 10th. I'm not sure which will be better, and I'm not even sure if I can have it on those dates yet.

However, I will make it happen, soon.

5 extra...you smugglin? or so it seems...? anyway I'll try to go but chances are I wont have a ride unless:
1)My sister dosnt work that day - 50% chance
2)Ray or another smasher takes me - >/=10% chance
3)Jess goes... 50% chance
So yeh....but i'll try.


I hear, judging from the results of the last thing, ronnie is either A)still untouchable... B)You guys still suck, or C)...alittle bit of both but I hope to see what happens this time.

You can, but not til after the tourny. If everyone just shows up just to play friendlies, it kind of defeats the purpose of throwing a tourny. So no, not gay.

And if you cannot afford a 2$ entry fee. You should sell that cardboard box you live in.

I will lose my job if this isn't on the 3rd... I've already asked my manager for the 10th off... then changed it to the 3rd off... so I can't go back ><

What time does the registration/friendlies/singles/doubles/etc start...?
