JoeS Presents:
TEST YOUR MIGHT III!






The Venue has held up to 200 in the past and we have no cap on people. It is in a massive plaza with plenty of food in walking distance and with concessions at a decent price within the store as well, so you'll be virtually set all day. The TYM II had 44 Brawl singles entrants, 32 Brawl Doubles entrants and 20 Melee Singles entrants.







-The date is now set in stone, we will have a January tournament with guaranteed cash after this tournament.




-There will be online registration for events, if you register online the venue fee is only $4 and if you don't it is $5. (Fee will be reduced to $4 if you sign up for ANY EVENT).


You can sign up at the Cold Fusion website. (That's the link, click it) and as long as your name is on any of those events on the tournament date (except the Lock-in) you'll have your venue fee reduced. However if you can sign up for everything you'll be planning on entering in that'd be good so the estimate is more accurate. Also if you sign up and you decide not to enter, I'm not going to hunt you down or force you to enter.


NOTE: For the CFLC Registration you don't actually need to put in an e-mail address, it's just for if it somehow gets cancelled they would have e-mailed you to let you know, but we have this thread instead. So you can just put any fake e-mail address you want.[/size]



-Venue Waives for setups!
I finally worked something out and those bringing their stuff can get a little cash for lending a hand to make the tournament run smoothly. On the CFLC site there is registration for bringing setups, if there's something I missed let me know. Waives are given on a first come first serve basis, so register early because I can only waive a total of $50. Also the waive will only be rewarded if what is brought is actually used and you remain for the duration of the entire tournament. (I will try to work with people if they really want to/need to go and we don't need the set up, I'll figure something out, just talk to me) The Waive system will work as so:





Wii with Brawl (Everything Unlocked obviously): $3

T.V. (15" or larger): $2 (I'll be liberal with size, if it's usable it's good in my book but you only get the money if we use it)

Gamecube with Melee (Everything Unlocked obviously): $0 >_< (If there is cash left over from the $50 waive limit I will distribute the cash $2 each or evenly between those who brought the setups and were used)

Melee CD: A hug with much appreciation.



All of this is subject to change within the next week or so, also the registration may change to a different date so If the date changes you WILL HAVE to re-register. Keep checking back for changes.

PAID IN CASH ON THE SPOT


Brawl Rules and Format:

* 3 Stock Double Elimination

* 8 minute timer

* Items are set to "off" and "none"

* Bring your own controller

* All matches prior to Winners' and Losers' Finals are best of 3. Winners', Losers', and Grand Finals are best of 5

* The Stage Strike system will be used and explained for the first match of all sets, then after procedure is loser stage pick, winner character choice, loser character choice.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* Stalling is banned. Any legal infinite chain grabs most end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

* I am NOT to be held liable for your horsing around, if someone is injured or there is some form of altercation I am not responsible for either party.

* Drugs and Alcohol are prohibited.

Additional Rules for Double's

* Life Stealing is allowed

* Set team attack to ON

* Items off.

* Ties are broken by remaining lives, then %. If both criteria are tied, then the Sudden Death match will be played out.

* First stage is random from the Neutral stages listed below.

* Each player is allowed to reset the random stage once; this forces a new random stage to be picked.

* The loser of the first match will announce a new stage to play on for the next game. The winner will then be allowed to switch characters, followed by the loser. Apply the same logic for the third match (and fourth/fifth when applicable) if there is one. (Advanced Slob Picks)

* No stage may be used twice in a single set if the counter-picking player has already won on that stage, unless the opponent agrees to use the stage again. (Dave's Stupid Rule)

* Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime before the first game of a set starts, and only apply to the first game.

* Each person (or team) may choose one counter-pick stage to be disabled for the entire set at the START OF THE SET, after characters have been chosen but before the random stage has been picked.

* Controller Mods, Glitches (IC Freeze Glitch, Mewtwo Soul Stunner, etc), and tactics used to stall a match (wall-bombing, rising pound), are banned.

* For doubles: Team Attack will be ON, life stealing allowed.

I don't feel comfortable playing MK in the tourney scene really... I mean, I have trouble with him so much, even when I use Wario or Diddy Kong. I'd hate to have to get knocked out, into a worse place than last time just because MK was present.

I suppose we could use this as a way to see if the results differed between who placed where, but, eh, I'd rather him banned again just for the hell of it. >_>

This is a great venue, hope thistournament goes well.

The date is just an iffy date for me... 2 days after christmas. While the idea of going there and playing sounds good both fun-wise and financially too.... I dunno if there would be like, no one there because of 2 days after Christmas! Plus it's like a 5 hour drive, so....

Might not see me at this one. :)

Would the 13th be better? It's a bit sooner, like two weeks from now and it's a whole week before Christmas break starts (and a whole month after the second tourney).

Otherwise, if it doesn't have to be a Saturday, what about the Monday before Christmas?

There really isnt anywhere we can throw this so I'm going to throw the OoS bonuses on this date and give one hell of a financial incentive for people to make it. Come if you want a shot at some real big money, I'm in conversation with the venue owners as we speak.

I'm gonna be driving for 5 hours if I go, so OOS bonus would have to apply to me and be worth it ;p

It seemed to me like the melee turnout for that tourney was really questionable.
I see.

Maybe I should have read the thread for the tournament instead of just skimming the first post before making such a statement. I just see D20 and Impp and Taki and assume it's going to be good, lol. Also I was thinking, doesn't swift live around there? Anyway, we could make the turnout better just by telling people to go to that instead of this, but I don't care either way, as long as I get to play melee. I'm not even sure if I'm good for the 27th... I hope so, but it's right after Christmas, and I may be obligated to visit relatives...

I'll probably end up moving this into January or turning it over to someone else's control.

OoS bonuses, date of event, events, and other things will be addressed by myself or someone else within a week hopefully.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

The 27th sounds good since a friend that will be visiting can probably come with us before he goes back to WI~

I'm in for what ever date as long as its not X-mas Day/Eve or New Years Day/Eve. Don't know about The Jerk yet. Claims he needs more practice and I keep telling him best place to get experience is at tourneys.

EDIT:

No MK here. And thank god Frigate O is off the starters list.
