About set-ups:

I will be giving cards for each TV that you must (it will very much behoove you) use. They indicate the current game's status (Friendly, MM or Tourney match) so that people do not bug the players by asking whether it's "tourney".

•Team Attack will be ON
•Life stealing allowed
•Stage bans (one per set) are to be done before the first match, or afterwards (Always after if stage striking is done), BEFORE anyone declares a Counterpick stage.
•Stage striking is the prioritized method of picking round 1 (lower port goes first), however if both players agree, they may pick the R1 stage randomly.

•Players may not attempt to manipulate pools or the bracket. In doing so you will be DQ'd.
•Players may not attempt to report false match scores. In doing so you will be DQ'd.
•Players cannot quit or pause a match without consent of the opponent. Failure to adhere to this may result in the loss of the current game.
•Please respect whatever building the tournament is in.
•Do not steal anyone's stuff.
•Please do not play friendlies or MM's on bracket TV's if they are needed for bracket.
•If there are enough TV's one may be marked for friendlies. DO NOT PLAY ON IT IF YOU HAVE MATCHES TO PLAY.
•Report to your matches when they are called ASAP. Failure to do so will get you DQ'd.
•Please use the TV cards correctly. If I need to get everyone's attention, and you didn't change the card from "friendly" to "MM", I will assume it is a friendly and may stop the game.
•I WILL DQ people. I will NOT hold up the tournament very long for late entrants.
•I can house a few people the night before if need be and I'm sure someone else in NOregon will as well.
•I want this to run a smoothly as possible, so please do not hinder the tournament's progress.

There is a time. Getting a venue is easy. Especially since he has one guaranteed he is just looking for a better one. It's better to get it up, so people can get hyped. I'm pretty sure Genesis didn't have their venue when they first posted the tournament page

lol @ tournament organizers setting dates/times and posting tournament threads without having a venue secured

I'm not trying to be territorial, I'm coming from a tournament organizer's standpoint. People love to post tournament threads as soon as they decide that they want to run a tournament, but a lot of the times do so before they have any of the details solidified (venue being the most important thing). Genesis was a special case, but most of the time when I see tournaments that have no venue determined, they end up being really terribly organized.

Perhaps this tournament will disprove my observation, we'll see.

Well, the person hosting this tournament has run a tournament in the past and it was at his house. So if any of his potential venues fall through, he has a proven "Venue" to use.

Note: Vancouver Washington is literally 3 minutes from Oregon.

Yesssss. Pound 4 rules are sooo good. It's either neutral stages or jiggly counters haha.

Vulcan, your little quote in your sig is one of the funniest things I've ever read
