Super Smash Brothers: Brawl (singles and doubles)

General rules:

  • 3 Stock
  • 8 minute timer
  • Items are set to "off" and "none"
  • All sets with the possible exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above is recommended for any "finals" matches)
  • In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors
  • 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.
  • You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. 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.


  • Port slob picks: On a player's counterpick, that player may opt to redo the port selection process with that player or team picking their port first.
  • Resolving Ties: Any games ending in time running out should always be decided by stock, and then percents. If percents are the same or both players die simultaneously, there will be a 1 stock overt time or the sudden death will be played out. The TO needs to decide which of these will be used before the tournament. Bowser's suicide klaw is exempt from this rule.
  • Color Blind rule: Should a player have a color-based disability, he or she may request in a teams match to have a specific color for their team. This is so characters such as Lucario or Sonic can be granted the blue team so that there is not unnecessary confusion.
  • Wiimotes and Classic Controller users should know to take the batteries out of their controllers after finishing a set; not only will this save battery life, but it prevents accidental intereference and delay for tournament matches.
  • Pirated copies of Brawl or modded Wii consoles will not be used for tournament matches.
  • The Mages DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is two minutes late he will receive a warning. At 4 minutes late, he will be given a loss for the first game of the set. After six minutes, he will be given a loss of the entire set.
  • It is recommended to have a station set up specifically for Gamecube controllers; this prevents intereference from wiimotes in future matches, whether intentional or accidental. This is a great way to make sure the finals go smoothly. Alternatively, you could make a station for wiimotes only, but it is recommended to have a GC only station.
  • Wireless controllers are discouraged because of interference, unreliability (battery life), and time hindrance. If you bring a wii remote, nun chuck, or classic controller please reverse your batteries to avoid interference.
  • The semi-final and championship sets will be best of 5 format.
  • Drugs and Alcohol should be prohibited.

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.


Set format (In Order of Procedure):
1. Opponents choose their characters for the first match *
2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure
3. Each player may announce one stage to be banned for counterpicks of the set

6. The winner of the previous match chooses their character

You guys have it wrong. The 17th through 19th is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Anyway, I'm most likely going. I'm doing 1v1 for sure and 2v2 if I can find a partner.

EDIT: You guys should have a station devoted to Falcon/Ganon money matches only.

I see. I just hope that the Brawl section won't be the only one to have the good attendance. :[

In any case, Arturito, AZ may come to his regardless of all these shenanigans. :laugh:

Last tournament we had 62~64 people if I remember correctly. We're going to advertise WAY more than we ever have before so hopefully the tournament will have a great turnout. And El Paso is pretty good in Melee too I might add.

We have had 2 tournaments with attendance of 60. They have been different people as well. This one should be amazing. OUT OF STATE PEOPLE remember we are trying to get sponsored for the tourney plus alll entry fees. Dont forget the Money matches and everything. EPIC

Start setting up some MMs if your coming from out of state. I want some heavy hitter MMs vs my Ike like bowser DK ganon all those guys except snake.

Besides those 60+ ones they mentioned I hosted one last week where only me and some other guy on the NE side advertised and that one had 48 people so theres the potential to break 100 with just el paso.

Who here is going for Melee?

I don't want to go to this tourney with high expectations, and it ending up that there's not enough people to even have a Melee tournament. To boot, the Brawl tournament has a very low turnout too.

*cough*

I wonder if this tournament will have a large KASH prize.

You recently advertised in the Lubbock forums, which explains what I'm doing here.

I just read the front page, and it does indeed say 17th-19th.

Davis, if you have the money for gas to cover me, I will go. I will promise to pay you back.
$60 for gas round trip, huh? Covering you isn't the issue. How many people will come is. If we could get five people to go that'd be awesome.

yah I messed up on the dates because I was looking at october its actually the 14th-16th.

Melee should have an ok turn out probably not as big as brawl but at least half of them should join. Plus its going to run simultaneously so I'm hoping people go might as well join it and have some fun.

Yes plus I'm going to add $100 of my OWN money to the pot if an out of state player wins. Brawl that is. Most of the better Brawl players are Melee players too. So we'll probably have at least like 20 people for Melee. Hopefully more.

Sounds good man! I look forward to playing you all ^_^ *coughrestcombocough*

I would guess a little bit less than the Brawl tournament, to convince people who would normally come for Brawl only to enter the Melee because it's cheaper.

But who knows, they might both be 10 dollars. And would anybody be opposed to me bringing an N64 with Smash 64 just to screw around before the tournament starts?

This is going good. Since AZ is so interested in melee, should we have AZ vs EL Paso melee crew battles to make things interesting?

Also Out of state people feel free to ask questions and make suggestions as well.
We would also encourage some OOS people to offer yourselves to be like pool leaders and stuff

Crew battles in anything will be good. And we're going to need recording equipment.

XIon: my falcon vs ike 10$
