Warning: Challenger Approaching! In Round 2, **** everyone.

[Bowser_Gangsta]

Hey guys! I'm Bowser_Gangsta and love competitive Smash. But I can't play for ****. So, those who can't do, teach. Or host in my situation.


So since this my first time hosting a tournament (although not the last), it will be a standard, no theme battlefield. 16-man tourney.

Rules
Single Elminiation

3 Stock

8 minute timer

Items are set to "off" and "none"

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

No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.

If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. If stock and percentage is equal, the game is determined by a 1-stock match.

Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.

Marth's Grab Release trick is banned.

DDD Dthrow infinite is banned.

If a game ends with Bowser doing his suicide klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser.

Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.

Stalling is banned.

In the event of serious lag, the match will be determined by a coin flip.

[ElNoNombreHombre]

I have a few questions with the ruleset as presented, but first, let's get the signup out of the way:

ElNoNombreHombre / ENNH / 1548-8263-8134

GMT/UTC -8:00 (Pacific)

OK, now the questions:

1. I see you've declared an 8 minute timer, but there is no specification for what happens should time run out. Obviously, the game declares the winner the one with the most stocks remaining, but what happens if both players still have the same number of stocks? Same percent? Do we play out the Sudden Death or do something different?
   
   
2. I assume "All are off, always" means something closer to "All Items OFF and NONE" so DDD doesn't toss exploding capsules?
   
   
3. Your schedule seems to imply a single-elimination tourney (not that there's anything wrong with that). Am I correct in this? If so, it would probably be a good idea to explicitly state this as tournaments around here tend to be more double-elimination by default.
   
   
4. Why four starters? Typically, you want an odd number of starter (so-called "neutrals") stages, so that stage striking is possible.
   
   
5. Why no Pokemon Stadium (Melee)? I see other Melee stages in there AND PS2. Seeing as PS1 is less janky than PS2, I don't understand why it is excluded.
   
   
6. On a related note, Lylat is usually allowed as a CP, if not a starter. It appears to be missing as well. Was this intended?
   
   
7. I see no prohibition on stalling. If I'm DDD, and my opponent is DK, I could just time out the match by dthrowing him. Or if I'm the ICs, I could do something similar to the entire cast. Or if I'm MK, I could just use the IDC to time out the match once I got a lead. If you don't explicitly ban these tactics, they are fair game. Are you cool with this being the case? What about planking/scrooging?
   
   (Of course, all the above are assuming I actually had the skill to do them.)
   
   
8. There's a bunch of other smaller issues that also appear to be unadressed, like Marth's GR infinite on the Mother kids (and some others), and what happens if Bowser's suicide klaw results in Sudden Death (since the outcome of that maneuver IIRC, can actually depend on controller port). How should these be handled? How should we deal with cases of super horrible terribad lag *stares at Josh*

Please don't take offense, I'm just trying to help make this the best it can be.

Geez, signups for this tourney seem to be low. How long does it usually take for tourneys to fill up?

 

[#HBC | Dark Horse]

I might think about signing up. On the days, do you have a specific time when the matches take place? I can't do morning.

Edit: I'll just post this. There's a chance I might no-show, depending on my schedule. Might tell you ahead of time if I'm not showing.

[Knubs.]

If you aim for 16 entrants, I would say about 3-5 days if its really appealing. Anything more and we are talking on possible weeks depending on who you are.

You guys will coordinate a time together with PMs because I dont want anyone to not be able to play.

Thank you.

About that... I need to change the dates. I forgot about signup period and went straightaway. I'll edit the OP and adjust things.

In other news, how does one go about changing the title of the thread? Thanks
