WGC TOURNY IN DES MOINES IOWA



Location: 615 3rd Street Des Moines, IA 50309
Format: 1v1 and 2v2
Date: 8/25/07
Time: Registration starts at 9:00am until 11:00am
Cost: $20 per person for singles and 10$ per person for doubles so 20$ for 1 team

EACH PLAYER IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO BRING THEIR OWN CONTROLLERS TO THIS EVENT

Rules:

1. 4 Stock
2. 8 minute timer
3. Double elimination brackets
4. Best 2 out of 3
5. Best 3 out of 5 in semifinals (winners and loser's finals)
6. Best 4 out of 7 in finals
7. No items



Stage Selection

1. Both players will select to ban a stage from the available selection of stages. If a stage that is banned is randomly selected, the game may be restarted before it starts.
2. If both players can agree on a stage to play, that will be the stage played on the first round. Otherwise, the first stage will be selected at random from Pool A.
3. If the match is doubles, Fountain of Dreams and Mute City are banned from the selection.
4. Counterpicking is allowed from any stage in Pool A or Pool B. See Counterpicks for more details.
5. No stage may be used twice in a single set.


Pool A

* Final Destination
* Battlefield
* Dream Land
* Fountain of Dreams (banned from Doubles play)
* Yoshi's Story
* Pokémon Stadium


Pool B

* Mute City (banned from Doubles play)
* Green Greens
* Rainbow Cruise
* Kongo Jungle
* Brinstar
* Poké Floats
* Corneria
* Jungle Japes


Counterpicking

Since each set is to be played best 2 out of 3, here are the following counterpick rules:

1. The loser may select a stage from Pool A or Pool B, as long as it is not a stage that has been previously played on in the set or a stage that was banned by either player at the beginning of the set.
2. The winner may select a new character.
3. The loser may select a new character. The winner must select his or her character first.


Glitches/Stalling

1. Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the game or makes it unable to be finished are banned and will result in the immediate forfeit of the entire match, and possible disqualification from the entire tournament.
2. Tactics such as Peach's Wall-bombing and Jigglypuff's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. If by using one of these tactics, you have put your character in a place to lose a stock by ending the tactic, a judge may force you to stop and lose a life and continue the match short a stock.
3. The use of Wobbles is BANNED.


Disqualification

* An entrant may be disqualified from any match if they perform any action above that merits disqualification, or by exhibiting poor sportsmanship, as judged by our staff. In the event of disqualification, there will be no refunds.


Prize Structure

Prizes are determined by how many people come but the guy hosting wants to do this

1st. $275/ 2nd. $75/ 3rd. $55/4th. $35/ 5th/ $20


And note this tourny is not run by me but I can contact him if something needs to be changed. And if enough people show up he will host more and more and even turn this into an Iowa Circuit.One more thing BRING SETUPS PLEASE!!!!

Not enough notice... I doubt I'll be able to come to this. I'm pretty sure I have college orientation that day, too.

Yea its at that place MTKD, and i can ask about the entry fee the reason its that high is because he wants a really big prize and the host is a guy names Travis.

Hey Fall, we play SSBM at a store called Mayhem Collectibles in West Des Moines, Might be Clive. We play Friday nights starting around 5 PM and stop playing like around 11 when we start leaving and then sat. we play all day till midnight sometimes. So, if anybody in Des Moines wants to come play with us, we would like to play other people and learn stuff from you guys, where still learning. The place is called Mayhem Collectibles and if you want to talk we can talk here or send me a PM and I'll give u my number.

Yes, I'll probably be in Ames by the 25th. If Kintehr is still up there, we could probably car pool, that wouldn't be a problem. After the 20th I'll pretty much officially be Ames.

Sounds good.

Since I am so rusty, I will be training every day until the tournament at a sad attempt to get back to my former skill level (or maybe I'm working on busting out a new character...). If anyone wants to Smash sometime between now and the 25th, or if anyone from Des Moines is traveling out to a Smashfest, please call or e-mail me anytime:

E-mail: victorhugg@gmail.com
Phone: (515) 289-1746

If you get the machine, don't hesitate to leave a message because the machine gets checked several times a day.

Thanks.

Yep, I've been to Mayhem once for Smash before. They only had an LCD TV that lagged though. If they have some more CRT TV's then sure, I'll be there.

Anyone want to do anything else before this Friday then?
