Venue Address and fees

Global Gaming Arena
Shaw's Passage
B5 5JG
Birmingham




Venue fee will be £4 (£3 if you bring a CRT and you're travelling from outside of Birmingham), tournament fees are:
Melee will be £3
Project M will be £2

The prize pot split will be 70/20/10.

If anybody still has issue finding the venue I can meet them at New Street or the coach station. PM me your number.

There is all day parking for £3.50 at Pershore Street B5 6PA. If you want to be closer to the venue then Moor Street is the closest one or LITERALLY right outside the venue the pricing is as follows:

2 hours - £2.20
4 hours £3.20
8 hours - £5.00
12 hours - £5.50

Tournament Format

Groups of 5, round robin, top 3 will proceed and then double elimination brackets

Schedule

We have the venue from 13:00 to 21:00, therefore:

Tournament sign ups - 13:30
Melee tournament start - 13:45
Small break - 15:45
Project M tournament start - 16:30

Things could run possibly earlier, this is just a rough estimate right now, we have plenty of time. After that we could do crews or whatever else people want, I'll leave it open to suggestion.

Melee Ruleset

General Rules

4 Stock
Items off
8 Minutes
Blind pick (should both players want it)
Stage Striking- This is done first game (and only first) of every set.
This is where is where you do Rock, Paper, Scissors and who ever wins gets to Strike 1 of the Neutral Stages, then the Loser Strikes 2 Neutral Stages, leaving the winner to decide from the 2 remaining Neutral Stages to play on.

For Project M the winner will strike 2 stages, loser strikes 3, then the winner will choose which stage he/she wants to play on.

Stage Banning - Each player is allowed 1 stage ban from the entire stage list for this tournament, but not before stage striking occurs. Project M is a 2 stage ban.

Advanced Slob Picks - Loser ALWAYS chooses next stage, then winner chooses character, then loser chooses character

Daves Stupid Rule - You cannot chose a stage you have just won on, unless your opponent agrees on it

oh ****.

also i won't come to this unless a decent prize pot is available, crank up melee entry to £5 and it'd consider it. i'm not travelling miles for a chance to win undecent amounts of money. if it can't cover my travel costs at LEAST there's not much point.

If nobody has a problem with £5, I don't mind

Although I'm the T.O, so technically its my decision anyway but would like to get a consensus.

I definitely need more set ups for things to run smoother for next time, and to be a bit more vocal + announce matches / pools / wtf is going on etc.

I'll get full results tomorrow, but thanks to everybody for coming, sorry about the lateness + delays + lack of casuals etc. but I hope y'all had fun. Was cool seeing everybody, thanks to Tamoo + Professor Pro for helping me with seeding/pools, thanks to Sketel + Pandemic + Alpha-Dash + burrhe + FabulousGeorge + Professor Pro for bringing set ups + TV's.
