The Springfield Greyhound stop is literally 1 mile away from the venue! We will pick any smasher up from this station free of charge. Just let us know your estimated time of arrival and we will coordinate with you.

Springfield Ohio is ideally placed for transportation purposes. The following are driving times to several big cities

Columbus- 1 hr
Cincinnati- 1 hr
Indianapolis- 2 hrs
Cleveland- 3 hrs
Pittsburgh- 4 hours
Chicago- 4 1/2 to 5 hours

The venue is located right off of I-70 which makes for an easy, all highway trip.

The venue is also located fairly close to two major International Airports.

The Dayton International Airport is within 20 miles of Springfield and the Columbus International Airport is roughly 50 miles away.

The Springfield crew is willing to pick up smashers from either of these two airports, provided we are compensated gas money. We do not want transportation to prohibit people from coming. We will do anything in our power to coordinate and pick people up on Friday night. As mentioned earlier, housing will be provided to ANY INTERNATIONAL SMASHERS, as well as smashers traveling in excess of 500 miles. We only have room for approximately 10 smashers, everyone else will have to use the amazing hotel deal, or find alternative means through other local smashers.

Setups:
We will be suppling most of the TV's but we could always use more. The main thing we need is Wiis/Gamecubes so bring them! A setup thread will be made when we get closer to the tournament.

We really NEED setups so bring them!!!

Brawl General rules:


* 3 Stock

* 8 minute timer

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

* Life Stealing is allowed (Doubles Only)

* Set team attack to ON (Doubles Only)

* All sets with the possible exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (Finals matches will all be best of 5)

* 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. 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.

* 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. The Same will be for Ganons Murder Choke and Kirby/DDD swallowcides.

* 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.

* No show DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is three minutes late he will receive a warning. At 5 minutes late, he will be given a loss for the first game of the set. After seven 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 interference 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 most end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

Nope's No BS Rule: By participating in this tournament you give the Tournament Operator and their affiliates the right to film, photograph and record your name, nickname, pseudonym, persona, picture, biographical material, voice and/or likeness and to use the same in any manner or media in connection with the Event to broadcast, reproduce, distribute and exhibit such photographs and/or recordings, in any manner whatsoever, by any and all means, media, devices, processes and technology now or hereafter known or devised anywhere in the universe at anytime in perpetuity.

Note: The Springfield Crew may not be held liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged goods during this event.

Stages:

Stage Striking: Players take turns striking stages from the starter list until only one remains; these stages are not banned and can be counter picked later in the set.

Neutral Stages:
- Battlefield
- Final Destination
- Yoshi's Island
- Smashville
- Lylat Cruise

Counter Picks:
-Pokemon Stadium 1
-Battleship Halberd
-Delfino Plaza
-Frigate Orpheon
-Castle Siege
-Rainbow Cruise
-Brinstar


Melee General Rules:

*4 stock

* All sets with the possible exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (Finals matches will all be best of 5)

*8 minute time limit

*Items off

*Wobbling is BANNED

*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
*Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime.

*Stage Knock Out: Each person may choose one stage to be disabled for the entire set, it must be chosen at the beginning of the set, after initial characters are chosen.

*Advanced Slob Picks: Loser may choose the next stage or select to go random. The winner may then change their character, followed by the loser.

*Bring your own controller

*Controller Mods, Glitches (IC Freeze Glitch, Mewtwo Soul Stunner, etc), and tactics used to stall a match (wall-bombing, rising pound), are banned.

*Team Attack will be ON

Aw, MW using an EC stage list is a sad day, but this tournament day will be epic!
This is just one thing that irritates me about the MW, taking up EC "customs." O well, I'm not gonna complain nor want to start a flame war.

GET HYPE!

Hail to the King, Baby
Anybody recognize that guy with the purple name who's avatar looks like Bret from Flight of the Conchords?
(Thanks for pointing that out Quivo >.>)

Anywho, I'm with Lou. It seems stupid for all of the midwest to come in here and talk about how hard we're gonna be here, needs more Coasts (also the Souf).

Nope, what do you think about having a MW bounty?

I want to make a sheet people can buy that has pictures and names of MW players. You buy it for $1 and then can money match everyone on the list; if you beat them, they sign their picture and you give them the $. If someone beats all of them, they get $5 or $10. Something like that.
