Cheezit, your formatting is atrocious. You have the copy/pasted brawl stage list that's formatted as a vertical list that makes it clear that that's the stage section for brawl, and then immediately after it's totally obvious that the Melee rules will follow by using the highly descriptive "Rules" in small text, and then the big wall of text which is secretly the Melee rules tossed in there. You don't even mention that the part there is for Melee.
You can thank me later. Maybe now the people that aren't regulars to the thread will be able to figure out the scrambled mess that is the 1st page... (and the 3rd sentence won't be such a tedious request) =P
Some of you know me some of you don't. I'm here to bring you another tourney/fest in New Jersey at a constant rate.
Make sure you read all of the rules. I don't mind questions just not ones that are obvious.

Melee Rules
Format
₪ Double elimination
₪ If we have enough people I will run pools for seeding. If not then it will be random seeding
₪ Four (4) stock
₪ Eight (8) minute time limit
₪ Each round is best of three (3) matches; Finals are best of five (5) matches
₪ Items will be turned OFF
₪ For Doubles, Team attack is ON and life stealing is allowed.
₪ Stage and Character selection: In a set, character selection for the first round will be blind pick. The stage select for the first match will be chosen by random select or may be agreed upon by the players. Random select will be used if there is any disagreement on stage selection. After the first match, the losing player from the previous match must announce their choice for the next level or elect to have the next level selected at random. Once the stage selection has been announced, the winning player may choose to change their character. Once the winning player has chosen his character for the next match, the losing player may then choose to change characters. After the stage and characters have been set, the players play their second match.
₪ Stage Strike Rule: Each player or team can choose one (1) stage to remove from random select AFTER all players have selected their characters and have entered the stage select screen. Players may change their stage strike each time they enter the stage select screen. (DO NOT ACTUALLY REMOVE THE STAGES FROM THE RANDOM STAGES LIST)
₪ Dave's Stupid Rule Modified: The same stage cannot be played twice in a row during a set
General
₪ WOBBLING IS BANNED. If you are caught wobbling you will be disqualified
₪ BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLERS
₪ In the event of a tie at the end of the time limit, the player with the most stocks wins the match. In case both players have the same amount of stock, the player with the lowest percentage wins the match. If both players have the same percentages, the players will quit the SUDDEN DEATH, set the stock to one (1), and start a bonus match on the same stage. If the bonus match goes to the end of the time limit- despite whatever the amount of stocks are left - then both players/teams will be disqualified from the tournament.
₪ In the event of an equipment malfunction, the match will be restart from the last known position or from any point in the match that is agreed upon by the players.
₪ 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 match or makes it in any way unfinishable are banned. Using them will result in the immediate forfeit of the match.
₪ 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. Judges will be on the tournament floor and can be called in at any time to enforce this rule during a match.
₪ Nintendo Standard controllers only (any type of programmable controller must be inspected by me)
₪ BRING WAVEBIRDS AT YOUR OWN RISK. It will be your responsibility to find others with Wavebirds and sort out the frequency issues. If you bring a wavebird it is highly suggested to bring a normal Gamecube controller in case your Wavebird malfunctions.
Crews Rules
₪ Event will be round robin.
₪ All crews get to play one another and the one with the best record will win the event. In the event of a win/loss record tie, stocks from each battle will be counted to determine placements.
₪ Twenty (20) stock.
₪ Number of crew members can be 4-5 with no alternates.
₪ Forty (40) minute time limit.
₪ Items will be turned OFF
₪ Random Stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Pokemon Stadium, Dreamland 64, Fountain of Dreams, and Yoshi's Story
₪ Stage Strike Rule: Each crew can choose one (1) stage to remove from the random select list or available counterpicks. Players may choose to change their stage strike once between matches. (DO NOT ACTUALLY REMOVE THE STAGES FROM THE RANDOM STAGES LIST)
₪ Dave's Stupid Rule Modified: The same stage cannot be played twice in a row.
₪ At the beginning of the match, crews will write down on a separate piece of paper the name of the first player and the character that player will be using. Then both crews will present the player that will start the match. Order can be decided play by play after the first player.
₪ Player selection between matches is 1 minute only. After time has been called crew must select a player or be disqualified from the match.
₪ The first stage in a crew battle will be by random select or agreed upon by both crews. In subsequent matches, the player going in may either decide the next stage to be played on or choose to go random. AFTER random or counterpicking the next stage is decided upon, but BEFORE a stage is actually selected, each side has the opportunity to change their stage strike. If the stage is chosen by a player and after the stage is decided, the player of the opposing crew may change their character at this time. If random is selected, the opposing player must stay as the same character they used in the previous match. The player going in then selects their character and the match is played.
₪ Percent returns to 0 after you finish off an opponent. The returning player begins the match with the amount of stocks they had remaining from the previous match, and must self-destruct as many times as necessary to reach this stock total. After stocks are adjusted, the players begin the match on opposing ends and/or platforms of the stage. Any needles, charged shots, turnips, etc must be purged before the match can begin.
