Wings and Brew VI
Date To be Announced, 2010
Wings and Brew is a local Columbus, Ohio restaurant with some of the best wings and pizza in the Midwest region. The tournament is run by yours truly, along with help from local players, the owners of WaB, and my girlfriend. What makes Wings and Brew special is the food. There is no venue fee at this tournament, so instead, there is a $5 mandatory meal fee that gets you a few slices of pizza (and an additional $1 will get you all-you-can-drink soda). These events have a first-come, first-serve cap of 24 entrants. You may not sign up until a date is formally announced and since you do not own a spot, you may not trade it. This is done so that everyone who does show up is essentially guaranteed the best tournament experience possible. Our average setup-to-competitor ratio through 5 events is 1-to-3. There is no better place for practice, friendlies, and free play then a Wings and Brew tournament.
After the event is over (8-9PM) we can all stay to eat, drink, and hang out. We will also have a couple setups for the entire night to use for draft crews, money matches, and friendlies. Draft crews is a tradition that started back at WaB I. Once the tournament finishes, we clear away most of the setups, begin ordering pizza and drinks, and start choosing crews. Typically we hang out and play for several hours after the tournament is completed. Around midnight, the venue will shut down, and goodbyes must be said. WaB is a special experience that anyone will tell you is nearly unparalleled in the Smash community. I guard this tradition of excellence and fun with a passion. Come join in the fun, excitement, and community that is Wings and Brew Pizza!
*New to WaB VI is the Amateur Teams Competition. Information is located at the bottom of the page!

•In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS)
•In the event of a dispute, team controller ports will be chosen via RPS. The winning team of RPS gets first and last selection of ports. The losing team gets the second and third selection of port.
•Any action that can prevent the current game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that game for the player that initiated the action, regardless of intent.
•Team Attack will be ON
•Life stealing will be allowed
•Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned. In the event this tactic is witnessed, however brief, it will result in the immediate forfeit of the current stock. A judge can be called to enforce and handle this issue.
•The method known as 'planking' is banned. In the event this tactic is witnessed it will result in the forfeit of the current game. A judge can be called to enforce and handle this issue.
•The method known as 'scrooging' is banned. In the event this tactic is witnessed it will result in the forfeit of the current game. A judge may be called to enforce and handle the issue.
•Infinite chain grabs must end after 250%. If you are in an infinite chain grab and your percent exceeds 280, then your opponent automatically forfeits the current game. You may pause the game without the opponents consent when this threshold is reached as proof that you are still being held in the grab.
•If a game ends from a suicide move then the match will end as per the results screen. In the event of a tie, play an overtime game.
•If time runs out the winner will be determined in the follow order:
1. Player with the highest stock wins
2. If stocks are tied then the player with the lowest percentage wins
3. If both stock and percent are tied then play an overtime match
*An overtime game is defined as a 3 minute, 1 stock game played on the same stage with the same characters as the tied match. In the event an overtime game ties again, then double overtime will commence. This will continue until a winner is determined.
*Planking is defined as using Meta Knight to camp under the edge of a stage with a combination of air attacks, so as to make him untouchable by the opponent.
*Scrooging is defined as using Meta Knight to camp under the entire stage with the repeated use of the glide maneuver from one side of the stage to the other, so as to make him untouchable by the opponent.

2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure using the Starter Stages
3. Each player may announce one stage to be banned for counterpicks of the set

5. The loser of the previous match announces the next match's stage from either the Starter Stage List or the Counter Stage List
6. The winner of the previous match chooses their character

Player Conduct Rules

•During a match, if a player spends more than 1 minute to decide on a stage or character for the next game, then a judge may be called over to hurry the decision up. If a decision is not made in a time frame at the judges discretion, then a loss of the next game will be incurred.
•Players may not attempt to manipulate pools or the bracket. In doing so you will be DQ'd and banned from future events. This is at a judges discretion.
•Players may not attempt to report false match scores. In doing so you will be DQ'd and banned from future events. This is at a judges discretion.

Bracket and Pool Information
Teams
Teams will be run with a double elimination bracket, seeded by Wings and Brew Points and location.
Singles
•Pools will be divided by WaB Series points and by location
•Brackets will be seeded by pools and location
•Pool ties will be broken as follows:
-If set wins are tied between 2 (two) people, then whoever won the head to head match advances (or gets the higher seed)
-If set wins are tied between 3 (three) people, then whoever has the better game record continues (wins minus loses), if two people are tied in their game record then head to head is used. Example, if P-A beats P-B 2-1, and P-B beats P-C 2-1, and P-C beats P-A 2-0, then the results would be:
P-C is the first seed
P-A is the second seed
P-B is the third seed
-If all three players are tied in sets and games then an overtime match will be played
Judges
These are local Columbus players who are allowed to make decisions on my behalf and to help run the tournament, which includes updating the bracket, settling rule disputes, and promoting a friendly atmosphere. A Judges decisions may be overruled by me alone. Judges may use spectators as witnesses in order to resolve issues regarding Meta Knights Infinite Cape, scrooging, and planking, along with any other issues that may arise. If you are called as a witness you must speak truthfully, failure to do so will have consequences.
