* Dave's Stupid Rule: You cannot counterpick a stage you have won on in a set unless agreed upon by the opponent.

General Rules
-BYOC (Bring your own controller): Players are expected to bring their own controller and be prepared for every tournament set.

-Pause can be requested off and that request cannot be denied. If one pauses mid-match, the person who initiated the pause loses their current stock. If the pause causes the opponent to lose their stock (Such as interfering with recovery), the person who initiated the pause loses two stocks. If there is any doubt in the ruling of a pausing incident, stop what you are doing and CALL ONE OF THE TOs TO YOUR MATCH.

-You are responsible for your own controller and name tag.

-Coaching is allowed only between games, not during.

-DQ Rule: Arriving too late for a match will result in a DQ. Player(s) will have 5 minutes to show up before a loss of the first match. 5 more minutes results in a loss of the set. For doubles, both players on a team need to be present in order to play.

-The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload said match.

-Players may request that any texture, stage, or other hacks be disabled during a tournament set. If this is unable to be done, they may switch to a different setup if available.

Parking/Setups

The parking is free in the student parking lot right outside the building.

BRING SETUPS!!!!!

And yes, I basically stole the Kirkgo ruleset for this, but I made a few minor adjustments. So minor you probably won't even notice.

Also, I won't have a recording setup ready for this, so I request someone else bring theirs for this if we want to have a stream!

Just a reminder to everyone that is going, I will not be showing up until around 12:30, feel free to show up early and play some friendlies, though!

I don't expect a major turnout, but setups always help!

Hope everyone that can't make it this week can show up to the next one! It will most likely be May 18th if I continue these as biweeklies. Stay tuned for more info in the near future

Last minute I'm not able to host one this Saturday, some personal stuff came up. If there's a smashfest at CoD instead, I might show up later on, but I wouldn't be available to host one in the morning. Sorry guys :(
