~~OC#8 NORTHEAST OHIO PRESENTS BRAWL! (OCT. 24th) "MELEE SINGLES AFTER"~~

After Test your might I'm becoming more interested in Brawl and decided I would start to host Brawl tournaments with a following Melee tournament for those who are interested. I will also host seperate Melee tournaments occasionally as well. I will certainly follow through with hosting a if I get a 20+ turnout, anything short of that attendance mark stands at a maybe, so please travel up here players, I am a capable and dependable host.

I already know that I'll have a good turnout for Melee but Brawl I'm not so sure of because I'm not acquainted with many of you Brawl players yet; so if you would like to attend then please let me know on the thread and once I see the amount of people who plan to attend I will decide if it's worth hosting, and from there I'll decide if I want to make this a monthly occurence.

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.

*Standing Infinites are BANNED which include (but not limited to) Dedede's small-step chain grab. Dedede standard chain grab is fine.

* 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

Brawl will get a good turnout. I'll spread the word around to help out too.

Also, message AlphaZealot and ask him if you can get this put on the Ohio Circuit if you want. That would definitely get some more attention from more than just the locals.

Messege him for me

Put up some rules (c/p test your might if you don't know what to have) and then welcome to the circuit!

Sure thing thank you Alpha for those moments of me watching your diddy to get me reinterested in brawl

Diddy is such a sexy character to watch, lol. Makes me want to try picking him up myself. =P

sure thing i can do that where can i get the program? Can you change the name of my thread to show it's a circuit event.

Google "Tio Tournament Organizer" to find and download the program. I'm not that experienced with it but I have used it before so I'll help you out. I'll see if 4%, ITT, or King Yoshi could help us out as well since they're more experienced with it, just for the sake of running everything as smooth as possible.

ok i got it

edit: I can hold as many people as test your might does.

yo if i can get a ride, and nothing else is up ill most likely come to this

Ok i got the program should be nice because i usually just hand write the tournaments lol.

CAN YOU PLEASE

PLEASE

PLEASE ADD MELEE

smash 64 would be cool too but PLEASE HAVE MELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I could really use the Melee practice (I'll need it for tourneys such as Pound4) and I never wanna play alone only at tourneys

or can someone host a Melee sunday tourney also at least?




edit - btw I'll be bringing like at least ~3 or so people most likely (not including myself)

im hosting melee the week before this man. I need two days for them because their wont be enough time for both

I won't be able to attend anything on the week before though

Vidjo and Dac (2 of the people I'm bringing besides Shugo) can literally run the Melee tourney for you if you need us to. You won't have to do anything except allow it.

You could do Sat -> Sunday or Fri -> Sat, having Melee on either Fri or Sun and Brawl on Sat. Or you could just have both on Sat with our help.

Ok i will host melee along with this if noone cares to be at my aprtment till late at night. I dont play brawl i love melee but im trying to start brawl. Kb<eddie> is gonna go over jesse's soon to play smash mind if i come along and play? I sent you a comment on myspace asking a bit ago.

yeah sure

you should host both at the same time

we live in Avon OH. Jesse's aim is Veeedjogamer, mine is oovideogamegodoo

IM us whenever

Yeah i know where you live i've been to jesse's b4. I'll do this If vidjo will help me run the brawl tourney and you. Then i can focus on running the melee how does that sound?

xD I've never ran the tourney but I know for a fact Dac (our driver) definitely will.

That would be me, I'm KB. It was cool to finally watch you play in person, the killer pimp robot Mr. Cinnaminson.

Im not gonna start melee till late

tbqh i think there wouldn't be that much difference if you switched the melee-only weekend for this one, since there are plenty of tos available to run brawl tournies on this day and you'd be likely to attract attendance for melee w/ m2k (i'm not actually sure on that, so someone correct me if i'm wrong lol)

Haha glad to see you agree AZ =)

This is one of my two only tournament weekends in October, lol. This weekend is a 3-day weekend also which means I'm much more likely to attend something than on Halloween weekend, where friends will try to steal me away for some important social function.

I think S-field should host something on this date, if Steve decides to switch the date. Springfield monthlies are not only popular but amazing and fun.

The only real issue is if M2K wants both events, in which case I'd have to say this: there are very few Ohioans competing OOS in Melee, lol. You're not going to get any good practice from this state, so if the PA people who were going to come to this agree that this date is fine and Steve switches to this date, then you're in a winning position completely. You'll have way more Brawl practice than Melee, so going to a Melee exclusive event will help you 10x more than a Brawl event. Besides, you're convinced most of our state except 4-5 players suck anyways, so what's the trouble?

I have OOS people looking forward to coming to my melee including some names but im willing to give it too you if you need it.

I don't need it haha, I think it'd just be nice if the OOS people could come this weekend for the Melee tournament, and if you could host this one on the weekend of the 3rd instead.

Could you ask the attendees of the event on October 3rd if they would mind the event being on this weekend instead? That's what I'm asking, really. That way M2K gets Melee training and we still have an OC5 event (only a weekend earlier).

Oh..ok i was confused alright i will switch the dates.

Ok so...Brawl is Oct. 3rd and Melee is Oct. 10th? Am I saying that right? Or is Melee going to be held the weekend before the Brawl event?

EDIT: Nevermind.

Your correct sorry for the confusion. Your still hosting this with me eddie

@KB: this is correct. Brawl is 10/3 and Melee is 10/10. That way people who want Melee bad (like M2K) will get the practice they need on this weekend, and the Brawl people who were planning to come to this and not a regional still get a weekend to come on this with circuit benefit and Melee on the side. It's win-win.

Thanks so much, Steve...now to get AZ to host WaB on this date. Either that or get Springfield to host on this date.

I dont think I'll be able to make it but Late Novemeber or December if you host another tounry id go for sure (just not conflicting another tounry's)

I am pretty sure I can come to this event. I may be able to bring like 3 other people. We are only like intermediate at best (I placed 25th at Test Your Might VI), so do not expect much....
I can also bring a setup. Do you want my 32" LCD, which has about 8ms of refresh rate (slightly laggy)? Or a 19" tube tv?
October 3rd at 12pm is when we get started for the day, right?

Bring the non Laggy tv. Yes 12 Noon Is when i will start doubles. You can show up anytime really

Sounds good. I might not want to play doubles, but I'll be there with my stuff by then!

I may be there. Matters if I go to BGSU that weekend or not.

We need lots of T.Vs and wiis. There'll be a cat there, too, and cigarette smoke. Just a heads up.

Well...Looks like I will not be attending this tournament... I am Dangerously Allergic to cats....And Cigarette smoke isn't something I can Tolerate to be around more than 30 minutes....Other than that I'd go...But it's a wrap....

Cigarrete smoke will be restricted to one room and im locking my cat in my bedroom so nobody lets her out.
