Hey everybody,
We've got another Ultimate Gaming Zone tournament here. I'll be helping with the TO duties, and the venue will be handling registration as we've done in the past.
This is a great venue! It's in the Lake Forest mall in Gaithersburg. It's pretty spacious, so we have plenty of room for setups. Please bring yours!
Location:
LakeForest Mall
701 Russell Ave
Gaithersburg MD, 20877
It's located on the first floor located on the lower level next to lord and taylor.
Schedule:
Doors are open when the mall is, around 10am
Registration will be open until 12pm, from there we'll seed brackets and then hold the tournament. Please get lunch before we begin.
Teams will come first, then singles. THERE WILL BE A $5 LATE FEE IF YOU REGISTER AFTER 12 PM. Don't show up late.
Entry:
$10 Singles
$10 Doubles
$10 Venue
Teams Payouts:
1st 60%
2nd 30%
3rd 10%
Singles Payouts:
1st 55%
2nd 30%
3rd 10%
4th 5%
The standard rules:
-3 Stock
-8 Minute Time Limit
-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, with the aforementioned Finals sets being best 3/5 games.
-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.
-If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage
-Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
-Standing Infinites are BANNED which include (but not limited to) Dedede's small-step chain grab, Marth on Ness grab-release, etc
-Ice climber infinites are LEGAL up to 250%
-Suicide Move Rules: (all situations are when both players are at 1 stock): If a suicide move ends a match, the match will be reset with 1 stock each to both players on the same level. Time limit will be set to 3 minutes. Both players technically died at the same time, and that is why the match was a draw. Play out the one stock, and the winner wins that match.
-Players using a Wii-mote to play must take their batteries out when not playing. We can't be having wii's be interrupted because someone made a mistake. I will be enforcing this heavily, and there will be penalties if people do not obey.
-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.
Set format (In Order of Procedure):
1. Opponents choose their characters for the first match *
2. 1st Stage will be chosen at random unless agreed upon by both players. Each Player will be provided one Random Reset, with the lower-seeded Player given the option to use their reset first.**
3. The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2
4. The winner of the previous match may announce their Stage Ban selection
5. The loser of the previous match announces the next match's stage from either the Random 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 neither Player has chosen to use their Random Reset within 3 seconds of the match starting, the match must be played out on the stage generated.
Neutral Stages:

-Smashville
Counterpick Stages:
-Yoshis Island

Additional Rules for Doubles Play:

-Team attack will be set to ON
-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.
-Chibo's Color-Blind Rule: If a player on a team is playing Lucario, Sonic, or Pokemon Trainer, either team can request for them to be Blue Team and the opponents must abide. If both teams have one of the characters, they must work it out between them.
