First off, I'd like to thank everyone who made the last tournament possible and successful. Special mentions to Chaco, Shadowfire, Samusbrawler, Cba, FMOI, Glyph and myself for hosting it, Dabuz, ESAM, Zeon and Aurora for winning it, and all the competitors who made this tournament what it was. It was wonderful hosting a big tournament like this, and I apologize to those who were DQ'd without getting your match in, you gotta get your matches done sooner! Hopefully this tournament is just as, if not more, successful. Onto the introduction..
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Summer 2009 Grand OTL Tournament. Due to the HUGE sucess of the last Grand OTL tournament, we've decided to host another one. This huge tournament will have a grand prize of a pot between $60-$80 in Wii points. This is an 128 man tournament, and 32 spots will be reserved for invites only, the other 96 spots will be open to anyone. We feel that this tournament will fill up relatively easy due to it's massive prize. We hope you'll enjoy this tournament that is set to be held the weekend of June 6th/7th
Times for each bracket and the such have not been decided yet, we will decide closer to time for the tournament.
Dealing with problems in general:
If you have a problem, do not just sit around and complain about it, PM one of the directors and runners of this tournament. Us being:
Formatting of this tournament:
We will have four brackets of 32. In round 3, the remaining players from each bracket will be re-randomized into a 5th bracket, which will be double elimination and they will compete for the heavy load of 60-80$ in wii points. The top 4 placers will receive a set amount of wii points each.
Basic Rules For This Tournament:
1. You MUST have at least 100 posts to join. (This is to prevent random 1 posters who never show up from joining). But we'll most likely let you join if you can prove yourself.
2. 3 stock, no items, and 8 minute timer
3. If the timer runs out, the winner will be decided first on stock, then by percentage. In the even of a tie, sudden death will take place.
4. Pick any character you want. CPing characters is allowed.
5. Only the legal stages are allowed.
6. First stage is agreed on by both players. Loser picks the next stage.
7. Quitting, restarting the match, stalling for longer than 10 seconds (like with Mario's cape stalling or Jigglypuff's rising pound), and purposely SDing will lead to disqualification.
8. Chain grabs, spamming, suicides (like Ganondorf's and King Dedede’s) and locks are allowed. No johns about players who do any of these things excessively. It’s YOUR fault if you can’t get past them. Play to win. All of these are legitimate strategies and can be overcome. Personally, I’d recommend counterpicking stages if you really have a problem with them.
9. No pissing.
10. No moaning.
11. A combination of 9 and 10 will not be tolerated either.
12. In the event that lag is beyond unplayable and both players agree. The match will be decided by a coin toss.
13. Meta Knight's Inter Dimensional Cape is banned, it is considered stalling.
13. Bower's suicide rules and Ganon's suicide rules is in effect.
14. Each played may ban one stage at the beginning of the set.
15. After a set (best 2 out of 3 until the semi-finals which will be 3 out of 5 along with the Finals), either player should report the results here, or PM the director who is in charge of your bracket.
16. DO NOT JOIN IF YOU KNOW OR THINK YOU CANNOT MAKE IT!
