HAVE JUST BEEN CONFIRMED SMASH WILL HAVE ITS OWN ROOM, SO AS LONG AS TIME IS ALRIGHT, WE CAN HAVE MELEE.

Super Smash Brothers: Brawl (singles and doubles)

The following list was created by members of the Smash Back Room (SBR). For version 2.0 discussion took place between January and March. While it is always up to the Tournament Organizers (TO) to determine the rules that best fit their tournaments, we recommend these rules be used as a base guideline to new and experienced TO's alike.

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.

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

If you need information on housing/hotels/etc, PM me on message me and I'll get you numbers to call, or see if I have any room at my house, as of right now, it seems 3 are staying at my house, so I might be able to fit some more, so just message me at:

Aim: The Porch Monkie
MSN: Leavantanimaction@hotmail.com
Or PM me here.

Boom!

This hasn't been made into a Tournament thread yet on SRK, as I don't think Jeff has everything 100% finalized, but I doubt it's going to change much from what you see here.

So far, the only place he has made this public is the St. Louis thread on SRK, but get hype guys! Spread the word, we're trying to get this to be MAJOR up in the Midwest.

I talked some details out with Kurasa, most of the hotels are are next to the Center anyways, so it'll be good for those coming from out of town or just want a place to stay.

Still contact me if you need housing information.

In regards to TV's, he doesn't want us bringing any, he is getting them all himself, so we have that covered, so all we have to bring is our own controllers/systems.

He is paying a lot of money for this to happen out of his own pocket, so all I can ask from me is to be respectful to him, the other people, myself, and all the other smashers, this can be a fun event if we allow it to be.

In the general area of the Convention Center, there is a lot of fast food restaurants, gas stations, my house is super close to the Venue, so we will be smashing the night before all night probably, I can house a few more people possibly, depending on if MP decides to bunk with me and his crew, and depending on how many people he brings.

Kurasa said he doesn't have the TV's finalized yet, but every game will have the Grand Finals on the projector, and If they have internet I can stream, and if not, we can record any matches requested, more then likely recording the Winner's semi's up.

Dude this looks sick, We are probably close enough to just come out during the day. Collinsville is only like 45 mins from my place, and prolly not to bad from Metal's either. I most likely will be able to get to this, but it is still a little early to tell. Don't worry about respecting Kurasa you know im cool, and i will keep the rest of STL in line lol.

kk, I never got a chance to meet you guys, and you seemed like you hated me ASC, so I didn't add your name. :(
Hope to see everyone there.
I did (and do) hate you.

JK. Did I even play you? I don't remember hating anyone...

I talked to Gambino tonight and told him about the added pot. He's in. He isn't sure if he's coming up to Milk's Friday yet or not, it will depend on his work schedule.

I'm sure Zoze will be down. But I haven't talked to him yet.

You're name is crossed out Future because you are coming for sure, and you have no say in it whatsoever.

METAL YOU ARE COMING.
Everyone too, my house is like 5 minutes away from the venue, so we can just all play here Friday and stay here if you don't wanna' drive back home, and just leave that morning for the tourney.

I unannounce my probable arrival as I am not invited. If bonus pot is confirmed, we should place that in the title: having to only go to St. Louis to play the top players would be sweet!

My bad sir.

I was just trying to get everybody's hopes and dreams up so that there will be more hype over this.

You dashed hopes, Rob!

Dashed them...

LOL at least my name makes some sort of sense from an english standpoint. When people put borders and crap on their name it just looks ********.

Future your name is dumb.

Also, depending on how well BBrawl does up until this tourney at Aerial Raves, we could possibly feature BBrawl as our main game, I'll keep everyone informed, along with Think.

I really hate to say this, but I kind of have to agree with Future on this one. BBrawl as a side tourney is a great idea, no problem there! However, I would advise you not to feature it as our "main game." If we decide to do that, we aren't ever going to get any competition, because, let's face it, even if a game is ten times better than its counterpart it won't draw nearly as large of an audience if its not an official game with its own cd and crap.

Come tourney day, we'll see what the vote is, as of right now it seems a lot of people don't want it as a main event, so Think, Jeff, and I will discuss it soon I suppose.

Either way, we are going to have BBrawl there one way or another.

So I am coming to this to hang out with Kurasa... XD

I'll try to bring some Chicago peepz with me to play in Brawl, since I don't want to drive alone and I am sure they will come down to play some Brawl with you guys. Not sure on BBrawl though....

See Milk, I told you I would come down there to play in a future event after you came to my first Clash event. lol

I just like hanging out with Kurasa and getting destroyed by him in TvC... =p
