Rules

Tournament will be seeded by SKILL. I will ask knowledgeable, high-level players to assist me with seeding. Regional considerations will be addressed, but the primary means of seeding will be skill-based.

Melee:

•4 stock
•2/3 sets
•3/5 semifinals+finals
•8 minute time limit
•Items off
•Ties broken by lives, then %
•Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime.
•Stage Knock Out: Each person may choose one stage to be disabled for the entire set, it must be chosen at the beginning of the set, after initial characters are chosen.
•Advanced Slob Picks: Loser may choose the next stage or select to go random. The winner may then change their character, followed by the loser.
•Bring your own controller
•Controller Mods, Glitches (IC Freeze Glitch, Mewtwo Soul Stunner, etc), and tactics used to stall a match (wall-bombing, rising pound), are banned.
•Team Attack will be ON
•Life stealing allowed

WOBBLING IS ALLOWED

A full explanation of these stages can be found here

WE NEED SETUPS!!

TRADEMARK ADENDUM

if a player gets falcon punched, he loses the game automatically. in doubles, his team loses the game. if a person hits his own partner they forfeit the game

onett should be legal only if falcon is on the stage

if a player gets falcon punched into a car or after getting hit by a car, their smash career is over and they must retire

the falcon punch has to be cool

aka, no easy edgeguards. no team grab > punch. no stomp to falcon punch. no bs. only stuff that would make HMW go "O(1x10^23)!!"

And check out Friday Night Fights at Battlegrounds!

Since you are having a tourney at BG, how about showing some love to the fight night every friday? All you have to bring is systems and games so it should be no problem!

Jam, you and smooth need to show some love to an old friend(spictom) and spread the word.

That's no problem but I do want the community to be more involved with the fight nights because we have big plans for it and I want smash to be included. Post in the fight night thread and let people know that this is the place to go for comp!

[Spife]

Everyone who's going all "boo ct tourny after ma tourny" or "sun right after sat?!", get housed in ma :D

 

[Jam Stunna]

There's a tournament the day before this? If that's a real concern, I can look at other dates. Let me know though, I talked to Mike at Battlegrounds today and confirmed the 21st, so if I need to change the date, the sooner I know the better.

 

[tarmacker]

****nnnnnnn Hazygoose looks mad fine. Me and slox will most likely be in attendence.

yeah, a date change would be great for us.

thats a definite 7 people from maine (darc, dazwa, me, banks, ironchief, solar, boxman) that would now attend if you did change it. =p

 

[SPAWN]

I vote for date change of April 4/11th. Also Jam you should make sure you put in the title that it's a Sunday tournament.

 

[Roman.]

i'll be attending no matter what date

 

[Hero 13]

I'll probably attend for w/e date you have doesnt matter

 

[th0rn]

Also realize all the Mass people who post "I don't care what date" are doing so because the tourney that is on the 20th is IN MASSACHUSETTS.

they do not get a vote.

>____>

 

[Roman.]

ALSO realize that a MA person saying "i don't care what date" is basically in the neutral party, not voting for or against a date change...

 

[th0rn]

cool story bro.

You still don't get a vote

now stfu

LOL <3

 

[Roman.]

team with me for this?

 

[Hazygoose]

****nnnnnnn Hazygoose looks mad fine. Me and slox will most likely be in attendence.

<3

and my birthday trespasses all laws of space and time so even i this tournament moves it will still fall on my birthday...spiritually.
hate being stuck in oklahoma...can't wait to see CT peeps again this summer!!

 

[Jam Stunna]

The reason this is the 21st is because it coincides with my Spring Break, which means the date will either have to be Sunday March 21st (the Sunday before Spring Break) or Sunday March 28th (the Sunday immediately after). Or I can just cancel and do one when the semester is over.

 

[th0rn]

28th ftw


...

 

[Roman.]

28th it is

 

[wWw Dazwa]

I vote for the 21st
