    -The banned stages include: Hyrule Temple, Venom, Fourside, Great bay, Yoshi's Island 64, Brinstar Depths, Flatzone, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Kongo Jungle, Mushroom Kingdom I, Green Greens, Princess Peach's Castle, Onett, Mushroom Kingdom II, and Yoshi's Island

    *If anyone would like to change the current random, banned or counter pick stages, let me know and if there are enough votes, I will change it.
  • Additional Rules
    -Double Blind pick may be called at any time
    -Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are banned.
    -Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to use that controller any longer and in certain cases, you may be disqualified.
    -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 match or makes it in any way unfinishable are banned. Using them will result in the immediate forfeit of the match.
    -Infinite grabs [Wobbling] with Ice Climbers is an automatic forfeit of the match.
    -Rowdy behavior will not be tolerated, and people with such an attitude will be disqualified and will be kicked out of the tournament.
    Showing enthusiasm for the game is not being rowdy*
    -Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jigg'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.
    -FastFox must be faster than most vehicles
    -BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER
-As always we will need people to help bring in TV's, Gamecubes, Discs, Memory cards, and maybe even VCR's (with AV cords of course.) =:3, and again don't forget to bring a controller.

  • Crew Battle Rules
    -Each team is given 20 stocks to divide evenly [some-what] between the players.
    -The winner of each match will keep his / her remaining stocks and bring it to the next match, damage % does not carry over.
    -The winner of the previous match must self destruct until he / she is at the amount of remaining stocks from the match prior to the current one. After the stocks are set right, both players must go into starting positions and wait for someone standing nearby to say go for them, then the match starts.
    -Characters played by each team member must be determined prior to starting the crew battle, they may not change. They also do not have to be told to the other team prior to being put into play.
    -Stages are the same as in 1v1, there are no counter picks.
    -The first match will have team members played as double blind picks [both teams secretly pick which team mate they will put into play first (usually determined by the teams captain)]
    -All tactics banned in 1v1 are also banned in crew battles.
    -All general 1v1 rules apply
    -When one team is out of stocks the other team has won.
    -Once a person is in play they do not stop playing until either the crew battle is over, or they run out of stocks [THIS ISN'T POKEMON GUYS, NO BATON PASSING]

Here is a quick little demo to show you how a crew battle works:


3 person crew battle:

Team 1:
Player A: 4 stocks - Pikachu
Player B: 4 stocks - Sheik
Player C: 4 stocks - Donkey Kong

Team 2:
Player X: 4 stocks - Marth

Match #1: Team 1 is picks player B (4 stocks), Team 2 Picks player X (4 stocks)
Player B wins by 2 stocks

Team 1: 10 stocks, Team 2: 8 stocks

Match #2: Team 1 is still using player B (2 stocks), Team 2 Picks player Z (4 stocks)
Player Z wins by 4 stocks

Team 1: 8 stocks, Team 2: 8 stocks

Match #3: Team 1 picks player A (4 stocks), Team 2 is still using Player Z (4 stocks)
Player A wins by 3 stocks

Team 1: 7 stocks, Team 2: 4 stocks

Match #4: Team 1 is still using Player A (3 stocks), Team 2 picks player Y (4 Stocks)
Player Y wins by 2 stock

Team 1: 4 stocks, Team 2: 2 stocks

Match #5: Team 1 picks Player C (4 stocks), Team 2 is still using Player Y (2 stocks)
Player Y wins by 1 stock

Team 1: 0 stocks, Team 2: 1 stock

Notices:

Updates:

*Added NEW Housing Options and increased Entrance Cost again
*Date and Venue has changed.
*Boston Pizza Dinner has been cancelled.
---

...As the people shout, a savior emerges from the mist.

No, the tournament is delayed till the 22-23 of November. It's a month and a half away, which will give people enough time to reschedule etc. Kage hasn't bought tickets yet.

Now for the important news.

I spent the day today driving around town with Kyle, as well as making phone calls. As some of you may or may not know, the old venue was too small so i've been spending some time finding a bigger venue. I came across this great meeting room at the Standford Inn near downtown Red Deer.

It's across the street from a 7-11, a Pizza place, a Bar and a few other Restaurants, but that's now why I chose this place. It's big, nice looking, and really cheap as far as rentals go and it also provides catering. The only problem is that it's booked on the 15/16th. I hope you understand, but this is for the best.

So yes, the tournament is delayed for 1 week, to November 22-23.

In other somewhat unrelated news, Kyle pulled some strings and there is a big possibility that CAST4 will be sponsored by our radio station.

Levi5 and Nitro-Blazer Ermine, even though I know that you two are just spamming and being idiots, you don't have any power in what we say or do. Until you can prove that you two are actually good at the game (which you two aren't), then you can stay quiet here and go spam someone else's thread.

On a serious note, I LOVE how we've attracted so many people in just a day. Thanks everyone.

Lol despite what my friend said to you victor, I am in. If you got mindgamed by my friend and thought that was me, you'll have no chance beating me in the MM.

I veto Yoshi Story because the song powers up everyone but Pikachu.

I added the housing options and I also increased the Entrance Cost to $10.
Before you complain about the entrance cost, let me remind you that it's being put towards the BP dinner on the 16th.

Really? mmm.. tempting.. theres a lot of time to think about this, and also how do you get there from the airport and which airport do I need to take?
I forgot to answer you Roustane. :3

You have two options. Both will cost relatively the same.

Your first option is to fly to the Calgary, which will cost $422, or $189 if you decide to fly over between Monday and Wednesday. From there, you'll have to ride to Red Deer with someone from Calgary. Either that, or you can ride the greyhound for $66.90.

Your second option is to fly to Edmonton which will also cost you $422. From there, you'll have a better chance of finding a ride with someone. If not, you could take the greyhound for $66.90 as well. I know it's a hassle, but i'll try my best to find a ride for you. I'll even try to pitch in some cash for you if it's needed.

I'm really interested in coming to this. It's far from now, but whatever. Put me down to come to this.


Also, can you guys arrange something for housing for about 8-12 people? I'm gonna convince GTA to come to this :]


Too bad this wasn't earlier, lol.


Edit: I expect all the WC players to come to this. Like SHWN, MikeMonkey (if he still plays), FalseFalco, Doobking, and Body Odour_15.

In my gigantic OP, i have the housing options listed. Your best option is to stay at the Community Hall itself. Just bring sleeping bags etc.

kso, I read some of the stage counterpicks. You guys REALLY need to rethink making Yoshi's Island, Princess Peach's Castle and Onett legal. Also, hopefully Mushroom Kingdom II is doubles legal only.

Are we trying to give Fox players auto wins when they counterpick? Come on guys, lol.


Oh, and isn't Great Bay doubles legal aswell? Just wanted to throw that all out on you guys.

Oh thanks, haha I think I'll be doing that then lol.

I'm pretty sure Great bay is banned in 2v2, despite me playing on it so frequently =P

MKII is banned fo sho in 1v1. yoshi's island, peach's castle and onett are garbage anyways; 2 of which are regularly banned anyways. Just ban them all.
