Address for Google Maps:
706 Riverside Lane
Tuscaloosa, AL 35401

RSVP via facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=27400002&ref=profile#/event.php?eid=88761673189

that's a relatively new street, and I'm pretty sure google doesn't have it. So if it's not there, Use this one.

140 Hackberry Lane
Tuscaloosa, AL 35401


which is Rose Towers, right across the street, when you get there, just give me a call 205 356 2509 and I can help you out.


For those that are coming from out of town, this map might help. The address is listed in the event info for Google Maps purposes, but really all you need to do is go I-20 West if your coming from/through GA/B'ham, or I-20 East if you're coming from/through Mississppi. and get off on Exit 73/Mcfarland Blvd--turn right (if you're coming from b'ham---left if you're coming from Mississippi) onto Mcfarland, and go straight for a mile or two, until you reach the Jack Warner Pkwy Exit. (you will pass the University Blvd and Campus Dr. exits)...the Jack Warner exit is a deep curve that splits into two, you want to take the curve on the right-hand side...then you will be at the upper-right hand area of the map I've provided above. Follow the purple line. Turn onto hackberry lane, it is at a stop light.. After that take the first left, you will see Rose Towers to your left (building 204 on the map). Riverside is to your right...and the building the tournament is being held at (the yellow dot with the black X/building 141) is behind the building that you initially see on the right when you turn in. The purple circles are the ideal parking places. On weekends, you won't get ticketed unless you park in a spot that isn't a real parking spot (like in the grass), or in a handicapped spot. Also avoid faculty (green) spots, i'm not sure if they ticket you for parking there, but to be on the safe side, try to avoid them. Use the map to find the building, if you need help, call me (Kevin) at 205 356 2509

STOCK SHARING IS ALLOWED
METAKNIGHT IS ALLOWED (Learn to play the game, nubs)

Want to try the ultimate test of pure Brawl Skill? Try our $5 Random Character Tournament, where everyone must pick a random character. Rules are the same as above, with the following additions.
Every player must choose Random as their character.
Each player is allowed ONE "mulligan" per set. This means that if the game starts and you strongly dislike your matchup, you may restart the game ONCE and ONLY ONCE per set. If you mulligan, and the game gives you the same matchup, YOU MAY NOT start over again, you must play the match. You only get one, one, one, just one mulligan. And this must be done before ANY damage is done in the match. Immediately restart the match if you don't like the matchup. Also, mulligans do NOT roll over to the next match, you only get ONE per set.
If you random Sheik/Zelda, Pokemon Trainer, or Samus, you must find time during the course of the match to switch characters, your opponent is not required to give you time to switch. Stage Banning, and stage counter picking will be as normal.

LASTLY,

NO JOHNS.


If a round ends with a Suicide move, such as Bowser's and Ganondorf's foward B, as well as Kirby and Dedede's swallow suicides, Sudden Death will NOT be PLAYED, the match will be awarded to the player who initiated the suicide attack.

Neutral Stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Island, Lylat Cruise, Smashville

Banned Stages: Green Hill Zone, Hanenbow, Corneria, Green Greens, Mushroomy Kingdom [Overworld/Underworld], 75m, Rumble Falls, Bridge of Eldin, Wario Ware, Distant Planet, New Pork City, Skyworld, Temple, Yoshi's Island (Pipes), Onett, Spear Pillar, Mario Bros., Mario Circuit, Flat Zone 2, The Summit, Big Blue, Pokemon Stadium 2, Port Town Aero Drive, Shadow Moses Island, Luigi's Mansion

Every other stage is available as a counterpick. Note: Pirate Ship is now UNBANNED

You may use stage strike method, instead of random stages on the first match.

Additional Info:
BRING. YOUR. OWN. CONTROLLER. I will not provide ANY controllers whatsoever. It's up to you to find one to use. We will not wait all day for you to find one, either.)
You may use any controller you like (wiimote, wii/chuck/gamecube/classic). Please note, however, if you have any controller issues whatsoever, you either find a new controller in 5 minutes or less or forfeit your match. you may map your controls anyway you like.

If you have a modded wii, the only allowable hack that affects gameplay is no-tripping hack. Other non-gameplay affecting hacks such as longer replays are allowed, but other than that, no hacks. No "I would have won if I played on the modded wii"-Johns.

If someone needs your TV to play a tournament match, please get up. Kfanx.

In the case of a Wii/TV malfunction, if the players can't agree on a solution, this is the official ruling: if any rounds have been completed, they will be kept, but the match during which there was a malfunction will be started completely over, although characters and stages must be the same. But if the two players can agree to something reasonable, that's fine.

Don't do dumb **** like any sort of freeze glitch, and stalling the match is banned. Note: Camping is not Stalling. Stalling is when it is clear that you don't intend to play the match or engage your opponent. Moves such as Metaknight Infinite Dimensional Cape Glitch and Sonic's B stall under the stage are banned.

IF YOU "PLANK" i.e Ledge Stall, you MUST immediately get off the ledge and plant your feet onto the stage (I.E within one or two seconds) if your opponent has clearly moved to the other edge of the stage and has stopped engaging you. IF you do not, you will be DQ'd for stalling the match.

The only controller mod allowed is the removal of the springs in your L and/or R triggers. Every other control mod is banned, and you will be DQ'd if caught using one. Mods that are purely cosmetic/aesthetic are allowed, such as paintjobs/lights. Turbo buttons are banned. You may use controllers that have this function, but you are not allowed to use the turbo. If you're caught you'll be DQ'd yadda yadda.

Again, BRING SET UPS. Even if you can't bring a full set up, BRING SOMETHING, whether it is a TV, a console or a game, or a surge protector.

NOTE: the address listed here is actually that of Rose Towers which is across the street. The actual address of the place isn't on google maps. Call Kevin at 205 356 2509 if you need help getting to the place.

Call, message, or email me, if you want more detailed rules about how the tournament works.

The Official Get George a New Wii Fund
I meant to do this last tournament but didn't get around to it. Our friend George had his wii mercilessly stolen at Clash of the Titans IV, so we decided we would start a fund to buy him a new one. I will be taking donations of any size at this tournament.

I will come!... unless May 16th happens to be graduation day. I'll have to check on that. If that happens, about 10-15 less people would show up. :ohwell:

I accept all random MMs!

Hehe, random tournament.

I'm pretty sure Jeff, Robert, and I can't come to this, as I'll be out for summer vacation (and thus nowhere near Tuscaloosa)

Expect to hear Louisiana complaining about how good I am teehee.

im pretty sure i will be able to come to this....and i will avoid the fiasco that was my last appearance for now i will have plenty of sleep
Not sleeping for a tourney is a smashing tradition. I did pretty ok the last tourney I went to with no sleep.....no denying I would have done better (maybe not in placing but overall) with sleep though. haha

Might wanna change the title of the thread, Janitor. Some people might get confused (like me). I guess it's not "officially" that date yet, but...

Pensacola, FL smashers have been wanting to come to an AL tourney for a while now. I'm especially interested in the random tournament.

Unfortunately, I'll be out of town on the 23rd so we won't be able to make this one it seems. I hope the random idea sticks around for the next one as well.

If you noticed, the date is unconfirmed, which means it may not be in may, or at least that weekend.

Also, I'm def coming to this.

I've been wanting to go to an Alabama tournament for some time now. The 8-hour drive tends to be an effective deterrent, but summer vacation allows for a lot more flexibility. Maybe I'll be able to get Louisiana to come to this.

If we do come, is there someone that would be able to provide housing for Friday/Saturday night?

That would be pretty awesome. Thirty minutes isn't bad at all. I guess keep me updated, and I'll let you know what Louisiana thinks as this gets closer.

I changed my mind guys...i'm banning Luigi's Mansion

I would ban Jungle Japes, but I'm going to let you guys play me in it this time jsut to prove how dumb it is

Pirate Ship is Still legal though. I had some folks CP it in TN and I guess its alright.


also... I think I"m going to Pay out top four instead of top 3 (assuming we have at least 25 entrants...don't want to screw first place)...i agree with Chad's sentiment that fourth had to beat a lot of people to get fourth (usually) and they didn't tie with anyone, they should get something.

Pirate ship is fine, but as long as those bomb cannons don't decide to hit me while i fight i will be ok with it. haha
Jungle Japes? Im cool with that one to, its not that bad for me though.
Yeah i recently started playing on Luigi's Mansion and i see how it would be banned again.

Manko and I are interested in going, but we'd need housing.

We'd probably bring two set-ups if we can attend.

Pirate ship is ********. Everyone completely changes playstyle on this stage and any match played here is automatically a joke.

Japes is also ********. That should be obvious. Freaking Peach and Falco and maybe DK mains always making me have to ban it.

Also no planking and random tournament is awesome, that makes up for Pirate Ship IMO.

Pirate Ships alright.

You have to change your playstyle on pretty much every counterpick, really. I'd rather play on most CP's than something like Rainbow Cruise, but there's really no reasonable excuse to ban RC so, pirate ship isn't that bad by comparison imo

Japes is extra ********, but ppl don't seem to realize that..so I'm going to CP it a lot at this tournament and prove to people that it should be banned.
