(SCS) Steel City Showdown! July 26th, Pittsburgh, PA -LIVESTREAM LINK IS UP!

STEEL CITY SHOWDOWN​

That's right Ken. Smash returns to Pittsburgh at Steel City Showdown! This is going to happen on only one day this time, SUNDAY, July 26th. I know a lot of people have been waiting for this tourney, and I sincerely apologize for the long wait!

This time around it is going to be Brawl Singles and Doubles. No low tiers this time. We will have recorder setups, and I want to try to get a livestream this time around.



BRING SETUPS!(tvs and/or wiis) WE NEED THEM TO MAKE THIS RUN SMOOTHLY
We would prefer CRT TVs only(A.K.A no LCD tvs), since they tend to lag. If its all you have though, feel free to bring it and we will use it if we are short on tvs.


RECORDING/LIVESTREAM
Unless something drastic happens, we will be having a livestream for this event! Check back to this section sunday for the link!

Brawl Singles and Doubles Rules
General rules:

* 3 Stock

* 8 minute timer

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

* All sets with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above should be played out 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.
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 must end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

Ledge Grab rule: If the time runs out during a match, afterwards a player may request to check the number of Ledge grabs. If a person grabbed the ledge more than 70 times, he/she automatically loses the match.

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 overttime 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.

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
4. The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2
5. The loser of the previous match announces the next match's stage from either the Starter Stage List or the Counter Stage List
6. The winner of the previous match chooses their character
7. The loser of the previous match chooses their character
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for all proceeding matches
*Double blind character selection may be called for the first match

I should be able to make it and bring a TV and a Wii. And I'm Skipper BTW.

Heh, I forgot that Ken guy was on Survivor. Never really watched the show, but didn't all the contestants hate him or something? I might be in on this.

hey skipper, wanna be doubles again? Its me, the guy from Iron Storm X.

I might come and if i do ill bring a wii

i also have 2 friends coming, so you can add them. They dont do much competitive but just add them somehow..

got it guys. Also, if your fans of melee, you might want to come into down a couple days earlier to go to smashtastrophe III also http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=237930

For recording, couldn't you just use a homebrew-enabled Wii to load up an inifinite replay code?

yeah. its easier to use my recorder though. I will also my wii to do it so i have 2 recorders.

yes bring them.

k ill update the list. Just make sure you don't forget any wires this time; I'll make you buy them back >:D

Add me in to this. I should be able to go.

Hmm...I was hesitant to commit to coming, but you can expect me there. I might join the tournament, but I'm mostly interested in meeting people to Brawl with regularly. I have a Wii with infinite replay enabled, but I might ask to use a decent controller in return, since mine are falling apart.

I might be at this, depends on what the altoona guys wanna do

Im going to try and get someone from philly to drive, if not
10ohwells

hahah yeah anywhere I go gets 10 times sexier.

10sexys

Xzax, Truth, work together and bribe some1 with a car.

IMPORTANT NEWS

There is a good chance we will do seeding pools at this. I dont know if anyone is going to get eliminated from them, but well see(I doubt it).There seems to be a wide range of skill levels, and I dont want 2 guys who are amazing having to fight in the first round.

For those who don't know how pools work, read on.

You are put into a group(pool) of people, usually anywhere from 4-7 a piece. Each person play everyone else in the pool(Normal tourney rule set). After everyone is done, this is how seeding is determined.

-The player who has won the most sets is 1st seed.
-The player who has won the next highest amount is 2nd seed.
etc.

IF THERE IS A TIE:
The total number of wins and loses within the sets are counted up. The one with the more wins is placed in the higher seed.

If its still tied even after that, The winner of the set bewteen the tied players is the tiebreaker.


Thats fine and dandy, but what does it mean?

You know how during the last tourney(If you went) there were a few byes for some players? Well, higher seeds would be awarded these bye spots. Usually the 1st seeded player gets this honor. Then, in 1st round of brackets, 5th seed would play 2nd seed, 3rd seed would play 4th seed, etc. The first round seed matchups all depend on how many seeds we do.


If we do elimination pools

If we do elimination pools, it will be top 4 advance out of 8 pools to make a 32 man bracket. Then 1st seeds will play 4th seeds in the 1st round, and 2nd seeds will play 3rd seeds. This will depend on turnout. If you get knocked out of pools, you still place in the tournament though.

Doing pools makes brackets a lot more fair for everyone, and they wont take that long either.(1-2 hours tops.)
