The following levels are Banned:
Hyrule Temple, Brinstar Depths, Pokefloats, Icicle Mountain, Yoshi's Island 64, Kongo Jungle, Flatzone, and Big Blue.
* Stages that are not banned can be counterpicked but any stage can be used upon both players agreement. Players can/should use their better judgment when picking a stage. Stages should be selected based on the available time and the suitability of the stage for the format (2 vs. 2 teams). Basically, players can agree to use a stage even if it is not listed; however, choosing a stage that will obviously take 20-25 minutes to finish or makes team matches difficult to play is not acceptable.

However, you may use your own controller as long as it is pre-approved by a member of the Great Traditions staff prior to the start of the tournament (please label your controller for identification if possible). If a controller is defective, a player can pause the game and notify the referee. If a player plays with a defective controller, all results are counted.

6. Interruptions: If a game is interrupted through no fault of the players, the current run will be restarted. If the interruption is the fault of any player, that player may be disqualified.

The reason the July 9th post was not in the usual section is because I was under the impression the moderators wanted posts relevant to local areas posted in there corresponding section after they did the upgrade. As a note, that is why I posted a link in on the June 18th board, assuming people may not see it. The next tournament is July 23rd and I have posted it in the usual section. If this becomes a problem, I will move it. The only reason I do not just change the title name is I am afraid new people may feel daunted looking through 20 pages of posts. I suppose I could just outright change the first board; however, that would still leave the many remaining posts on the thread.

I am sorry people did not get to see/hear about the tournament. There were actually many people I had never seen before. In addition, when I heard about the "Gauntlet" tournament I was not anticipating a large crowd. Considering some people were not aware of the last tournament I think the 23rd should have a good showing. In addition, are there any dates in August that are not good because of another tournament?
