Hey, I'm going to be hosting my own tourney for the first time in about a month, and I wanted to ask some seasoned vets on what's proper and what's not. Now, I realize this should probably be in the tournament section, and wouldn't blame a mod for moving it... but I was going to hold off and post my actual tourney info there when it's set in stone.
For the most part, I looked through several threads in the tourney forum, and built my rules around the examples I saw.
Most stuff is standard... 4 stock, 8 minutes, best two out of three (3 of 5 and 4 of 7 in the semi and finals, respectively). Dave's Stupid Rule, Slob picks...
Banned stages are...
* Icicle Mountain
* Hyrule Temple
* Brinstar Depths
* Fourside
* Flat Zone
* Great Bay
* Yoshi's Island (N64)
But now I have a few questions for you, the knowledgable ones:
One person I know seems convinced that real tournies don't allow switching between Zelda and Shiek during a match, because they're two seperate characters. I said the transformation is a B move, and we can't force people to not use a B move (if they're really going to use Zelda... uh...). I searched, and found nothing. Is he full of ****?
And now, before I start asking more dumb questions... I saw the ABC's of Tournament Hosting in the other forum, but is there a step-by-step guide available anywhere with alot of detail? I could really use the help.
Thanks, I'll be around to grovel, unless I get locked.
