Setups:
Since the Venue is not relatively large, we will be planning on using only 10 full setups. The venue will be providing us with 2 full setups(including a gigantic 106 inch HDTV SCREEN for important matches and finals!) so I am counting on you guys to bring the other 8 full setups, which I am sure we will not have a problem with since all you guys just love the God Kais. Also since there is a limit of setups we can run, there is a limit to those who will get a discounted venue fee, so this will be a first come first served basis, so PLEASE POST IF YOU ARE BRINGING A SETUP IN ORDER TO GET ON THE LIST OF THOSE WHO WILL BE GETTING THE DISCOUNTED VENUE FEE!!!!

I will also suggest that if we do have space for more setups and people bring extras, we will gladly hook them up for friendlies ans such, but unfortunately they will not get a discounted venue fee since the estimated limit we have is 10 to fit plus Arcade Legends will not gain much profit from alot of people getting discounts.

Food:
There is a McDonalds within walking distance as well as other fast food restaurants within 5 minutes of driving distance. Snacks and drinks will also be available for anyone at the Arcade


General rules:

* 3 Stock (If the TO deems it necessary, the stock count may be reduced to no less than 2 for pools)

* 8 minute timer (If the TO deems it necessary, the timer may be reduced to no less than 6 minutes for pools)

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

* Life Stealing is allowed (Doubles Only)

* Set team attack to ON (Doubles Only)

* 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 is for any "finals" matches)

* In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors or Coin Flip

* 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. If both are tied at the end of the match it will be replayed with the same characters, ports and stage 1 stock 2 minute time limit.

* Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.

* Nope's no BS rule: If you are attending a circuit event, you are giving us permission to record and release videos of you playing as well as permission to use your character, tag, alias, name, and/or likeness in promotions regarding the circuit.

* Should anyone be caught altering custom stages in any way for any reason during a tournament, you will be immediately DQed from both singles and doubles and your points for the circuit may be stripped from you.

* You are responsible for your own controller (Bring your own) 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 if 3 seconds has passed on the game clock. Multiple instances of resetting due to controller errors will result in a loss for future games in the circuit.

* If you believe you may have controller issues throughout the tournament, you are able to start a match on Spear Pillar for a few moments to test controls. Spear Pillar is used to make it crystal clear that you are testing your controls.

*Pausing and resetting a match without explicit approval from your opponent prior to doing so, at ANY point in the match (including star KO animations) will result in a loss of that match. Multiple instances will result in a DQ. That means you, Lain.

* No show 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.

* Color Blind rule: Should a player have a color-based disability, he or she may request in a teams match to have a specific color for their team. This is so characters such as Lucario or Sonic can be granted the blue team so that there is not unnecessary confusion.

* 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.

* 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.

Note: Arcade Legends may not be held liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged goods during this event.

Any question or comments please feel free to post them

GET HYPED N1GGAS

Feel free to bring setups even though the cap is at 10. We'll try to fit as many as we can, like last time (...or at least, I hope...)

By the way, put me down as confirmed. I'm more than likely coming to this. No teams still tho, I'm broke.

No pipes makes sad!

But go ahead and put me down as probable for this. I would bring a setup, but I don't have a tourney-worthy one that's portable.

Got u both down, and lunar, if u are able to get a setup do let me know so i can put u down as bringing one

Ill be here, gotta get the circuit started off right.

ill come along if anyone goes, not entering though

I'll try to get here. Need to rep Mario some more.

you already know ill be here
haha

might not be there becuase its 2 close for me

yeah lol
i could walk here if i wanted

so uh ss

how's your mom doing? is she coming for this one? she missed out on a WHOLE lotta fun last time...

I'll have to look at the schedule to see if I can come.

If I do, it'd be my first touney NOT using Ike. Woot woot.

Also, regardless of my attendance, I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread after the tournament, as I'm rather curious about these custom stages and will be observing all feedback... it's interesting ****.

I'm definitly coming.

In other news, woot custom stages.

Hopefully I will be there!

Count U WILL be here, same with all you probables, find a way to come!

requested off of work.

I DID have plans for this weekend, but those are definitely not happening. I'll be here!

Yeah, I'll probably come.

I don't know why I even bother asking any more but anyone want to team? :/

We hardly had room for even ten setups, let alone more. The biggest reason to bring a set would be "just in case" we end up short.

I need a partner for this for the whole circuit. Let me know if you're interested through pm or what not. See you guys at the event.

holy ****, it's less than 2 hours away!!! i will try my hardest to make it to this!!!

I think the biggest problem with setups was how the tables were arranged. We could probably fit in more if we did some rearranging and whatnot. Having more setups is ALWAYS desired.

I'll get there early this time and help them set things up, we may have more room for setups than before.

We're not going to delay the tournament this time either; last time we started uber late, but this is a circuit event so its gonna get done on time.

The other problem was the lack of chairs, im working to see if we can get a few more and im sure they will be willing to have more setups only if we can make room and without blocking any passages throughout the venue.

man, I looked all over for a clip of when Peter asks his great great great great grandfather Nate Griffin how heaven was, but youtube has failed me =( sorry Y.b.M.

Nate Griffin replies "there's a shortage of chairs....yeah"

That's where the connection would have been made, and you all would have giggled. OH WELL.

Unless it's an emergency, I can't really bring a setup, my problem is not having a TV I can bring. Plus, since the God Kais passed on the last rankbat, I got a free venue fee for placing 3rd in the seasonal ranking at Arcade Legends.

But I'll be there. And I'll be rocking the new Gauntlet machine, too. Hopefully things proceed faster, because if I end up working that night, I'll have to leave by 9 PM or so.

Does anyone wish to partner with a semi-scrub for Doubles?

Lain I'm going to make them put us in a first round match if the seeding works out...you're going down this time...down down down <3

In other news, my target money matches this time:

SamuraiPanda - 1$ - Snake v. Marth
Hilt - 1$ - Olimar v. Falco
Lain - 1-3$ (depending on whether I win the other two) - ICs v. Marth

Not only did the tournament start late , but people took 20 minute breaks after every match. That was the main reason we didnt finish. We should consider setting a time for lunch. perhaps when there are 4 or 5 doubles teams left to an hour after that? Once that hour is up pools will start promptly. If you still happen to be in doubles you are exempt from this. Otherwise you have 15 different people getting food at 15 different times and it delays everyone.

Lou knows where its at.

I think I'm adding a rule in to all tournament sets now: no more than a 3 minute break between sets without permission from one of the TOs.

also, I'm bringing a setup.

Is there an estimated time for singles starting?

There are already rules for time limits. Everyone always includes the 2, 4, 6 minute to DQ rule. It's just no one ever enforces time related rules.

Breaks are no big deal and TOs are willing to give them. The lunch thing is killer though. The last couple of tournaments have been delayed at least an hour because of different lunch times. And setting a time for singles pools now allows people who want to skip doubles a time to get to the venue, so we arent waiting on them because they thought singles started later.

Agreeing with Lou here, the large breaks and lunch breaks have caused too many delays.

Can't wait for this, haha.

Ummm.....I just found this thread...*sigh*....I'm jealous Infern is a Director Now....Dang it....I wanna be a Director...Looks like Me and Lou are going to dominate the doubles....Rivals Unite!!!

In other News:

I suggest that we start strongly enforcing the DQ rule. At Apex in New Jersey.....they were very strict about finishing on time and it made people more aware since they didn't want to get DQ'd and it worked. Though some people didn't take it seriously many people were DQ'd no money back.

Also, during pools people tend to wonder around when they are not in a match. We should designate responsible Pool Captains to make sure that their pool is being ran correctly. Nobody should be playing more than 2 games in a row (Unless you are still playing in Grand Finals of teams and you are the only left who hasn't played). Now matter how much you just wanna get all of your matches over, there are many other people who want to finish there matches and start the brackets as well. So take turns efficiently to prevent people from wondering around.

Lastly, when the bracket is down to around the Semi Finals or so, it doesn't mean you should procrastinate just because the bracket is almost over... Matches tend to take 30 minutes or so. So play your matches on time to prevent getting DQ'd and Holding up the tournament. This is "The Midwest Circuit event", that means that there will more than likely be a lot of OOS people, nobody wants to drive home at 1am and get back home at 4 or 5 in the morning. This is our profession (some peoples) so we have to treat it like one. If you are always late to work or don't show up to work...you will get suspended or Fired. So be responsible....

And Finally...I will be winning this tournament..... GOD KAIS!!!

Updated OP with times

and like Y.b.M. said, Pools Captains will be made and they should make their pools run smoothly by having their players do no more then 2 games in a row

Same with DQ rule, it will be enforced, and if u dont like it, U CAN GIT THE **** OUT!

Usually bracket is where things go slow. During pools, since there are 4-6 people assigned to 1-2 TVs, the players themselves tend to watch the TV(s) to make sure pools are being run. Also, there are usually pool captains. But in bracket no one watches the TVs and it's usually up to the players to report themselves, which is when people start delaying.

There are also the people you know that delay the tournament that no one DQs. Then the biggest delays come near the end, because it's just the top players left, who are given too much leeway, and wander off to 30 minutes stopping the bracket because they need to play to advance the bracket.

Like I said, it will be enforced, so no 10 min smoking breaks (Lain) unless they want to be DQ'ed
