WELCOME TO NATT!

Okay, yeah, doesn't need a name really. People were asking about having a nice, small tourney in the Dallas/Plano/whatever area, and so Drew and I are trying to piece together something fun. With the aid of ZachSoup, we're going to have a neato thing. Tournament.

Okay, here's the deal.

This Saturday, June 3st.

2v2 and 1v1 will both happen, 2v2 occurring first.

FIVE dollars for each player in 2v2.

TEN dollars for each player in 1v1.

Now, we're looking at using the Xtreme Player's Zone in Flower Mound Texas. Their address is as follows:

2021 Justin Road
Flower Mound, TX 75028

Their phone # is:
972 - 539 - 1559

Their website is: http://www.xtremeplayerszone.com

If we use this big happy official LAN center, then we'll probably be looking at a registration fee of 3-5 dollars.
::Edit, as of Tuesday, May 31st::

We have a confirmed locale for the tourney! We will be using the Xtreme Player's Zone, all information stated above. The entrance is 5 dollars registration, 5 dollars for each person in your 2v2 team, and 10 dollars for 1v1. We have 4 TV's for use.

The time to show up and sign up and get your free play and warmups on is 12:30.

The tourney will begin at 1:30. If you aren't signed up by then... well, no biggy, we'll try and fit you in, but don't be too late. We're doing 2v2 first, then 1v1s. There is no set time to end it, but using Drew's glorious experience we can manage this thing pretty quickly and still have a good time. Eh? Eh?

As of right now we need:

3 GAME CUBES. I'm pretty sure we can make this goal easily, however, as Felix is offering a cube, Drew has one, DoH has one, Zach has one, FloMo guys have one... we'll make it. We might need a 4th copy of smash, and I advise that once you have the cube set up, take your memory card OUT. We don't want unattended stuff getting jacked.

That is all. If anything changes, I'll let you know.

Also edit: We don't need Zach's place. Hence that info has been removed. Silly, silly Drew. You with your "expediency" and your "lack of clutter in the post so that people don't have useless information." Silly.

New edit!

1v1 Double Elimination Tournament.

4 stock, 8 minute time limit, sets are 2 out of 3. All "final" matches are 3 out of 5. This means: winner's finals, loser's finals, and final final finals.

Random stages: Rainbow Cruise, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Pokemon Stadium, Battlefield, Final Destination, Dreamland 64, DK64.

Banned Stages: Hyrule, Flatzone, Termina, Green Greens, Yoshi 64, Fourside, Princess Peach's Castle, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom 1, Onett, Yoshi's Island (pipes), Venom. Yes, Icicle Mountain is permitted. No, I don't think anybody will pick it. But I don't think it should be banned and it's my ruleset so :P

Obviously, any stage that is not random or banned may be selected as a counter-pick. How do counter-picks work? Well...

Advanced Slob Picks: The first stage will be selected at random, or can be any random stage that both players agree upon. The player who loses the first match will then pick the stage. The previous winner will select his character, and then the loser will select his. This applies to the 3rd match, if there is one.

Dave's Stupid Rule: You may not select as a counter-pick any stage you won on previously during a set.

Rob's Better Rule: Dave's Stupid Rule doesn't apply to sets that are 3 out 5.

Stage Striking: You may strike one stage from the random OR counter-pick list before the first match is chosen. After that, the list is decided for the set and you may not select a stage to strike any longer. Even if you strike a stage, you may use it as a counter-pick.

Banned Stuff: You may not use any tactics that directly stall the match or prevent the other player from participating. This means: no stalling with Peach's wallbombing or Jigglypuff's rising pound. You may recover using these tactics, but you may not stall with them. Additionally, there is to be no IC freeze glitching, and no IC grab infinites. This means you, Zach.

And me. *cough cough*

For 2v2, same rules apply... EXCEPT...

Random Stages: Rainbow Cruise, Yoshi's Story, Termina, Pokemon Stadium, Battlefield, Final Destination, Dreamland 64, DK64.

Banned Stages: Fountain of Dreams, Flatzone, Venom, Green Greens, Yoshi's Island (pipes), Hyrule Temple, Mute City, Brinstar Depths, Fourside, Big Blue

Life-stealing is allowed!

Friendly fire is on!

I think that's all, but I'm a forgetful man. Let me know if anything slipped my mind.

I'll bring cube/TV to Zachs and cube to XPZ.
either is fine. I just want a tourney ****it!


oh, and teams partner plz?



oh, and on the apt thing, how many rooms/about what size? I dont mind being cramped at all, I've been in an apt w/ 20ish people before for a lan party, and it was pretty fun, and the whole being cramped part wasn't that bad because we could use every room.

Gotta Represent!!! Go Texas!

Does that mean you'll be attending?

And you can take the stuff about Zach's house out of the first post now since it's not too important now...

There has to be more people out there, I mean MLG Dallas had over 100 and not ALL of them were OoS

05-30-2006, 08:22 PM
I just wonder what the heck Rob's sig is about. <_<;

D'oH
05-30-2006, 08:25 PM
I think it's about his unadultered love for Miyamoto

Blind
05-30-2006, 08:53 PM
He gave me Meta-knight. I wanted Meta-knight when I heard about Melee, and him being one of the first announced characters... man, my dream was recognized. I guess though I need to correct my sig, since it's sort of a Miyamoto/Sakurai type thing. Actually, it'll probably be leaving the sig soon. It's fun to switch around.

Dude! that was my dream too! I announced over a year ago (before Revo or Wii had ever been mentioned) that I was going to become the best Meta Knight player in the country, but I guess now I'll have a worthy rival. That's kickass that we share the same happiness. :bigthumbu I've always liked Kirby (my fav nintendo char, and series) and Kirby series chars, and I hope to God that they also add Dedede so then I can play Kirby, Meta Knight, ad Dedede as my mains. :grin:

Ok but Caveman gets to play for me.

Also, I agree with Xelic. I'll take money matches as well, (Yes even from the likes of Drew and Rob) but for smaller amounts.

How bout we come to the next biweekly in Austin?

We can't run out on this place now that we've made a deal with them, that's bad business...

And JF owes me a $10 MM in Naruto despite his attempts to make me forget it :)

Blind
05-31-2006, 05:51 AM
Yeah, I seriously doubt the likelihood of my parents letting me go to Austin. They really don't like the fact that I play videogames. And after a tournament in Utah, MLG Dallas, and this one, they think that's "enough."

Oh well. No point really explaining to them why I like this game so much. It's not that they wouldn't understand my reasons, it's just they have a hard time applying concepts like "love of competition," "personal improvement," and "social interaction" to something "worthless" like Smash. Whatever.

I wasn't trying to make you forget. O.o Why do you think I've been working on Oro counters? :chuckle: I suppose we'll have to wait till A-kon to settle things tho. I wish you didn't get Chang back tho, that's almost like cheating. -_-

Psh even I have beaten Chang...

05-31-2006, 01:08 PM
Even IIIII have beaten Chang. He's so noob. I like 4 stocked his Temari 0%. With Tayuya.

@honorbound - parents are the same way. tis why I note every single time that my presence at anything is always a maybe.

oh, and I have SAT on saturday, so expect what happened when I tried to make drew's last time I had SAT (aka bad luck w/ traffic...no not bad luck, HORRID luck)

What's with banning Green Greens? It's not like it's unfair or anything.

Also if you're stupid enough to fall for an infinite IC grab, or just unable to wiggle fast enough before it starts, you deserve it.

Also also thank you for not making this grossly over priced. :)

D'oH
06-01-2006, 01:55 PM
What's with banning Mute in teams? You know you love it Rob :(

WiLD BOris
06-01-2006, 02:00 PM
Ok count zack and me in for this. How many teams we gonna have?

We're both doing singles too so Drew can stop whinning about not gettin enough money.
