RULES?
General Tips
- If you can, bring your Wii/Brawl and/or Gamecube/Melee and hook it up to a TV. This means more friendlies for everyone and a smoother less stressful tournament.
- Don't want to pay the $5 venue fee? Bring a TV and it's waived.
- Play your matches ASAP. If possible, wait behind the match you play the loser/winner of. It's always handy to watch them anyway, to study their style and plan ahead!
- If you are still in the bracket, please tell a TO if you and your friends are going out for lunch or whatever, just so we know not to DQ you.

8 Minute Timer
Items set to "Off" and "None"
Pause set to "On"
Meta Knight’s infinite dimensional cape tactic is banned. Some trick with metaknight that can be extended to make metaknight invisible and invulnerable for as long as he wants
There is a 50 ledge grab limit for all other characters. If a game goes to time and one player goes over the Ledge Grab Limit for their character, they will automatically lose the game. If both players exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then this rule is ignored. This prevents players simply stalling on the ledge
The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites, chain grabs, or uninterruptible moves past 300%, and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you. In theory a played could continue an infinite until the timer rounds out, winning the match on percent. This prevents such stalling.
If the match ends with both players dying at the same time (either coincidentally or via suicide move) or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage. For a tie-breaker match, a Ledge Grab Limit of 15 is used for all characters. The only other exception to this is the game ending from a Bowser or Ganon Suicide tactic, where the initiator of the move wins. The above paragraphs will rarely need to be enforced.
For Doubles, team attack and life stealing is ON.
First neutral is chosen with stage striking system. (Player 1 "strikes" a neutral, Player 2 strikes two neutrals, Player 1 strikes a neutral, there is only 1 neutral left)
Each player/team gets 1 ban. Player 1 wins the first game. Before Player 2 selects the stage for game 2, Player 1 is able to ban one of neutrals or counterpicks from being selected by Player 2.
DSR applies. "Dave's Stupid Rule" - You cannot pick a stage you already won on in the set unless your opponent agrees to it.
Banned and custom stages may be played only if both players agree.
All sets from Winners/Losers Semifinals onwards are best of 5. Previous sets are best of 3.

I'M CHEAP LIKE ROBSTA'S RUTHLESS DOC

I'M NEW TO SMASH TOURNAMENTS...
The main thing to remember is that smash tournaments are Double Elimination. That means if you lose a match you are still in the tournament. You then go into the "losers bracket" and play other people who have also lost a match. Eventually the winner of the losers bracket plays the winner of the winners bracket in the grand finals. This means a player can win the tournament even if the lose their first match!
Example bracket: http://ajpanton.se/apex2012.gif (Winners bracket is the right side, Losers Bracket in the left side)
Regular attendees are always happy to help you out with the rules of the tournament and share advice on characters, strategies and matchups.
Demand friendlies with people!
note to self, possible names for future tournaments in the "don't get" series: don't get understood, don't get killed, don't get read, don't get mad, don't get out, don't get first
