• 3 Stock
• 8 minute timer
• Items are set to "off" and "none"
• In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors
• Dave's Stupid Rule: No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
• In team matches, the ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins the RPS will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the RPS winner will get the last port.
• If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
• Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
• If a game ends with Bowser doing his suicide klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser.
• If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
• Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
• Stalling is banned.
• Japanese ledgegrab rule : If time runs out and either player has over 56 ledge grabs, he immediately loses the match. In the case were both players have over 56 ledge grabs, a one stock match on a neutral stage will determine the outcome of the match.

Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while doing an infinite grab endlessly against a wall is. Any infinite chain grabs most end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

In for Bawrl Singles and Doubles...
Hoo~ I'll need a new team partner by then!

So if I get this right, you get two bans, but one of them has to be a neutral?
The rules also state that you're enforcing the "winner can't change character on the next round if it's a neutral" thing, wasn't this dropped in the end?

Oh, its something i forgot to fix, my fault. Fixed now.

Yay! More Montreal tournies finally!. I'm coming to this. Just kidding. HYPE POST ONLY! I can't do 2 day tourneys this summer =(.

EDIT: Wrong thread, ****.

So if there are any requests about melee rules, or anything about melee just talk to me. =) I already arranged the levels such as I allowed Corneria as a CP but I have banned Green greens. All the other rules I'm sure everyone knows them and also i will do my best to have fair pools and brackets! =D

depending on my financial situation near the time I may bus it there, just a heads up to TO I don't think Ambrose will be coming, so yeah. Niko, wanna possibly bus to this? I'm not completely sure, but I'll keep in touch for it.

If I do, I'll bring my wii with an sd card with the code set for Brawl +. I hope you guys do go with hosting a side B + tourney.

put greg down for melee singles, ill bring a ctrler.

Kev! said:

Of course, just make sure it will be the most recent version and all. You wouldn't want to switch Wii's for a round and realize Rob still has that horrible SideB glitch on the new one lol...

Also, you can pm me if there's any Brawl+ related questions. I have LOTS of spare time.
