Places to eat are located in areas circled and indicated in Red (mostly), and the actual Venue is circled in black. (Note, please disregard the phone number labeled as Gosu's at the bottom of the map, this map is the one I used for last year's tourney)

General Melee Rules

* By popular demand, we will be doing pools to begin and 1st and 2nd seed of each pool will proceed to a double elimination bracket. Placement is determined by number of matches won, then least number of matches lost, and ties will be broken by a 2 out of 3 set between the tied parties.
* Items are set to off.
* Stock and Time are set to 4 stock and 8 minutes respectively.
* Regular sets are best of 3 matches.
* The Tournament Host is the arbiter of all disputes.
* Blind Picks: the first character selection of a set must be without prior knowledge of the opponent's character selection for both players.
* Modified Dave's Stupid Rule: No player can counter pick a stage he or she has previously won on unless agreed upon by both players.
* Gentleman's clause: any stage may be played on so long as both players and the Tournament Host agree to it, including banned stages. This can be used in tandem with the Modified Dave's Stupid Rule (MDSR).
* Timed out matches will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, replay that match. Any Sudden Death match is strictly not to be played.
*Wobbling is not banned.
*The tournament host (me) reserves the right to ban any player who engages in excessive stalling such as, but not limited to, jigglypuff's rising pound stall, ice climber's freeze glitch, peach's wallbomber, etc. Some of these tactics MAY be used to buy time, for example sheik shino stalling to stay safe for a bit and come up with a strategy or peach floating out of reach to avoid someone, but if these tactics are used for the express purpose of excessively prolonging a match, and I witness it taking place, I may disqualify you, so be warned. The tournament host reserves the right to be the final arbiter on this issue.

Additional Rules for Teams Play

* Life Stealing is allowed
* Set team attack to ON


Redwood Counter Pick System

1. Blind Picks character selection.
2. Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter Stage List until only 1 remains, and the players then play the first match on that stage. Players strike stages in 1 2 2 1 order.
3. The first match is played.
4. Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage.
5. The losing player of preceding match picks stage for the next match.
6. The winning player of preceding match picks character.
7. The losing player picks character.
8. The next match is played.
9. Repeat 4-8 for all consecutive matches as necessary until the set is complete.

Grand Finals, loser's finals, and winner's finals will be best out of 5. semi-finals will be best out of 3 cuz I have a feeling we'll be more pressed for time due to the epicness of events taking place.

Post here if you plan to attend or are bringing a setup.
Oh yeah and if you wanna MM me, let me know.

PS: We WILL be doing crews afterward. And you WILL participate. :mad: :bee:
and if I forgot/left anything out, let me know.

Setups:
1. Dantefox

Here are the rules for the brawl tournament:


I know this a double post. Don't sweat. Placeholder for Brawl rules for the AiB topic. Might be subject to small changes.

Not a rule, but if you can, BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER AND KEEP TRACK OF IT.

Cost:
Singles: $1
Doubles: $2 ($1 per person)

Pot Distribution

Singles (60%, 30%, 10%)
Doubles (60%, 30%, 10%)

Metaknight banned!
3 Stock
8 minute timer
Items are set to "off" and "none"
? If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
? Resolving Ties: If percents are the same or both players die simultaneously, there will be a 1 stock, 3 minute, same characters, same stage rematch.
? All sets with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above should be played out for any "finals" matches)
? In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors.
? You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
? Stalling is banned.
Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while using an infinite to run out the timer rather than to score a KO is. As such, any infinite chain-grabs, locks, etc. cannot exceed 300%.
? Some interactions (for example, a throw with a wind attack) can cause one character to become frozen until being hit. If this happens, the free character is expected to capitalize on this in a timely manner; a failure to do so is stalling.

This thread's existence is protected under the rule discussion clause of the announcement regarding the new system.
Also because the new system sucks.

Discuss away!

just reminding everyone that we need all the setups we can get! the rule of thumb is, if you have a setup and you can bring it, bring it! better to have extra setups than too few.

For future reference, John and I are not pitching in money for any food related costs for Smash Club in the future. John and I pitched in $10 each for the sushi and this one new guy took like 12 pieces. I was playing Melee on the couch and turned around and I was like WTF. In the future Smash Club should use the club money to get food not from John and me. :mad:

I'll be posting videos tomorrow. First up is crews, then I guess I'll do teams and singles.

also I'm curious to hear the story behind willy and steve's team name. Did the whole antenna really get stolen today? XD

Who was in crews?
In order:

SB: Jeff, Dante, Huy, David M.

SLO: Steve, Andy, Sheen, Willy.


One thing I learned from this tournament: having a $1 entry fee is good for bringing in more entrants.

One thing that I already knew that was reaffirmed at this tournament: melee and brawl tournaments should not be run simultaneously, at least not with people entering both. Brawl holds up melee way too much.

Dante did. Next time the bracket should be seeded automatically and only have manual seeding if it is called for. I'm talking about teams actually. There was a way to seed so that SLO would only play each other in teams if it was LF, GF, or WF. :)

Next time, just let it seed by random generation while inputting location, skill, etc. What ever happens in the seeding happens. For example, Hungrybox and Mew2king at Revival of Melee 3 were seeded randomly since if it was done manually, they would not have fought in WQF. ;)

I believe Kevin wanted us seeded in the same side of the bracket so we can play each other AND not have me in the LB too soon because then I would **** the LB. I thought it was unfair to Michael that he had to play me too soon. ;)
