Intentional forfeiting, match fixing, splitting, subbing, and any other forms of bracket manipulation is not allowed and punishable by the TO.

BYOC (Bring your own controller)

Players who use the Wii Remote must take the batteries out of the Wii Remote when not playing. If the Wii Remote is still synced up to a Wii with the batteries in, you could unintentionally disrupt a match.

Any coaching that happens during the match (but not in between matches) is restricted. Players who violate this rule will receive a warning (BOTH the player AND the person coaching the player) on the first attempt. Players who violate this rule after a warning will be penalized at the TO's discretion.

If pause is not disabled and the game is paused, the players must stop playing and call over the TO, at which time the TO will decide how the match will proceed. If a player unpauses the match the TO's approval, he or she will be penalized as the TO sees fit.

Hacks that do not interfere with gameplay (character texture, stage texture, menu, music, etc) are permitted. All other hacks are not permitted (model hacks, stage hacks that affect stage function, gameplay hacks). This includes codes that affect gameplay (ex. "no tripping" code). Players may request that hacks be disabled for their match, where in which case, the system will reboot into standard Brawl, and the match will continue. Any damage inflicted by a player overrides this rule.

Determining Controller Ports/Stage Strike
If there is a dispute in controller port selection or initiating Stage Strike use the following method:
Teams agree to Rock-Paper-Scissors or Mr. Game & Watch Judgement. The winning team shall either elect to have first choice in port selection or first choice in Stage Strike. Whichever team does not receive first choice in Port Selection will be compensated with first choice in Stage Striking.

Note: In Doubles, port selection is ordered 1-2-2-1 fashion (with Team-1 having first choice in controller slot select, Team-2 having both second and third choice, and the final slot going to Team-1).

Hey there Molton Lava! I'm the President of the smash club at University of Hartford, and I plan to bring members of our newfound club to your tournament, as it is only 30 minutes away and is a brawl tourney! Which most are interested in! I'm looking forward to your local tourney! HYPE

 

[Molten Lava]

Awesome! we'll be happy to see you then!

There's a smash club at U Hartford? I'm at Trinity and I'm like desperate for someone to play against haha. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to this.

 

[Zeonix]

Hey peeup! I remember talking to you about a Hall of Gaming tournament in Wallingford one time, except I didn't end up going. Dude, I just started the club after winning the Brawl tournament at my school, but have been playing AT melee for 4 years. I really hope you can make it man!

Yo dude, I go to University of Hartford and have been looking for people to play with in Melee and project M

 

[Molten Lava]

zeonix, how many people from your club are to be expected at this tourney? I need to tell the venue if it's an excessive amount of people.

 

[CyanNY]

There's a legitimate possibility that I could come to this!

 

[Zeonix]

zeonix, how many people from your club are to be expected at this tourney? I need to tell the venue if it's an excessive amount of people.

I'm thinking more than 5 and less than 12. I will be asking members every week up til the tourney who will be coming. I'll keep you updated as more sign up to go. Is there a limit for the total number of entrants due to venue space? If it helps at all, we can bring a few setups.

there is, but the cap is like 30 people total, and 5-12 shouldn't be bad at all. I would appreciate the updates, and set ups do definitely help. My skype is lightswitchtothemind, so if you need to talk to me directly, feel free to do so.

 

[peeup]

Could anyone from this U Hartford group drive the lowly Trinity student?

Peeup, yeah, I will ask members this Friday who plans on driving and what not, and see if myself or one of the other drivers could pick you up. I'll keep you updated Molten Lava; will probably have word of attendance on Friday at our meeting. I'm hyped for this tourney! ^_^

 

[NH Cody]

Zeonix are you still going?

 

[Zeonix]

Zeonix are you still going?

Yes, we / I absolutely plan on going And I will be bringing at least 5 others with me, but no more than 15. And do I know you Quest? You are from NH but I don't think we have ever met before. ^_^ Also, Lava, would you mind if we brought a setup with PM/Melee just so people could get in some short, friendly games with those as well? No bracket or anything lol, just for the lolz!!!

 

[NH Cody]

we've never met. I asked primarily because you are bringing several others too

and yes I live under an hour from concord

That's awesome man! Yeah, there are a ton of people at University of Hartford who are into smash. Many of them are good casual players who I have been teaching Brawl Advanced Techniques to before this tournament. Kakariko Village isn't real is it? Can't find it on any maps O_o OHHH haha, it's a settlement in Hyrule Silly man. Are you North our South of Manchester?

 

[Molten Lava]

Of course, a set up for P:M is always welcome. Odds are it will be turned into a Brawl set up if need be for the actual tournament, so for now, just P:M (no additional Melee)

 

[NH Cody]

1 hour northwest of manchester

I'm about 1 hour and a half from Manchester, North-East near Maine, in the summer, obviously in CT for college. Awesome Lava, sounds good!

 

[peeup]

You got room for one more zeonix?

 

[Zeonix]

This Friday I will be getting EXACTLY who is going from the club, and who will be driving...etc. Then I will know if we can pick you up.

 

[Repeller]

I live quite close to this, sadly I'm not motivated enough to go since how new I am. :'(

 

[Zeonix]

Like I said before, a lot of people I am bringing from the club are new. Should be a noob fest Not really, but you get the idea. You should come! The more the merrier! Besides, you get better faster by getting out and going to tourneys!!!

 

[GLRY]

I live quite close to this, sadly I'm not motivated enough to go since how new I am. :'(

just go man it'll be fun !

 

[Repeller]

I'll give it some thought.

 

[peeup]

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you buddy. At the first (and only) tournament I've attended, I got 3 stocked by some kid who couldn't have been older than 13, and I'm a college student. Hoping to do better this time, but more importantly I'm just hoping to meet some people and have a good time.

 

[Repeller]

Ya I really want to meet people, I have no one to play with in area to just constantly get better and play with. I'm just stuck with me and my bots, training.

 

[peeup]

^^Story of my life, I've become very good friends with level 9 CPUs. I've probably learned more bad responses than good from playing the AI so much, so I think it'll be really helpful to play some actual people for a change.

 

[Repeller]

Finally decided to come, only to be told that I couldn't take the car.

Perhaps Molten Lava could give you a ride? After all, he is from your town of Milford.

 

[Molten Lava]

Repeller, if you're a high schooler odds are I know you already.

 

[Repeller]

Nope, I'm 21. Went to Foran tho :o

 

[Molten Lava]

Nope, I'm 21. Went to Foran tho :o

Hmm, what year did you graduate? I go to Platt so I wouldn't know you anyway, but maybe my friends might remember you if you were a senior in their freshman year.

 

[Repeller]

Class of 2010 ^^;

Oooo, you go to Platt. Do you know someone with the last name Stahl? :O

 

[Molten Lava]

Yep. I know the brother, but I know he has a sister that youprobably know.

On second thought, let's save this discussion for PMs so we don't clog this thread.

 

[Zeonix]

Molten Lava, is there anyway to start the sign-up process earlier or move it along, because I recently found out that I have to be back at the University of Hartford around 5, which means I would need to be done with my matches by 4:30, which means whoever drove with me in my car would also have to leave around that time, and currently that is about half the people attending the tourney. :/

 

[Repeller]

;_; Oh nooooo

 

[Molten Lava]

Odds are you will be done with your matches by then. I can't change the time schedule because that affects out of state people who are on stricter schedules, but if we have a good number of setups (6-8), things will go by quicker.

 

[Zeonix]

Ok, sure thing. That's what I thought would be the case. Cool. I'll end up bringing at least one setup.

 

[CyanNY]

Of COURSE I have to work Open House that day...> Good luck to everyone who is attending and have fun, especially the newbies!
