BRAWL RULE SET:

General rules:

* 3 Stock

* 8 minute timer

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

* Ledge grab rule: There will be a 50 ledge grab rule in place. A player is not allowed to grab the ledge more than 50 times in one match. If and only if the match ends in a timeout and a player is over the limit, he forfeits the match.

* 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 should be played out for any "finals" matches)

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* Stalling is banned.

Set format (In Order of Procedure):
1. Opponents choose their characters for the first match
2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure
3. The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2
4. Player announces one stage to be banned for counter picks of the set(This happens after the 2nd match as well)
5. The loser of the previous match announces the next match's stage from either the Starter 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

I'll be there with a brawl setup, and possibly a tv. If it's two days, I'll be there for both most likely.

I'm in; I can probably bring 1 brawl set up, and 1 melee set up (2 melee if my wii counts and i find a second disk). If needed, I could bring some stuff for a low quality stream.

Quick question for the melee guys:

Do you want me to use the same ruleset that APEX 2010 is using? I dont know how many of you are planning to attend it. The Brawl rules are pretty much the same as APEX's minus the fact Im allowing more ledge grabs.

I might have to change brawl rules a tad. Alex is using a modified cp system. But there's a rule where your cping, and you say the next stage is random, both people have to stay as their respective characters.

I'm totally down with apex rules for melee; while I miss my mute city, I'm willing to sacrifice it for stage striking and getting stadium the **** away from my first round :)

Hmm...after Otronicon, this will seem much easier. I don't really like the serious tourney stuff, but I might swing by since it's kind of hard to find a good challenge around here.

Oh, my bad. I forgot that you automatically suck unless you're a registered member of Smashboards. :ohwell:

Seriously, the Rob and Pit at SCS were really good, but there's no comparing them to the top ranking players at that event. Especially that one crazy Snake player.

The snake your referring to is Radix I believe.

I don't forgive him. He should know better than that by now. Your skill increases tenfold, by making an account on this site. This should be common knowledge, people. =/

Maybe, but that doesn't mean anything when there were so many smashboarders who didn't even make top 16. For the record, I don't count myself as one, since I mostly come here to look for tournaments.

Tournaments are one thing on SmashBoards, but let's not play with words. Most of the people go to this forum for gameplay strategies.

And we're on for that item match.

I might try and be at this. I am trying to get into all the tournies since I finally moved to the states.

All I have to go on is beating my friends so when I found out about this site at Katsucon I joined. Seriously this site has helped me a heck of a lot more then if I continued to just pound my friends. And I found out I was at a tournament once at Otakon and I went against Cafe in it. O_O I got creamed but I was glad to find out I got creamed by the best if that means anything.

So I'll try and see ya there in Pittsburg.

Yeah, I guess you're right, lol. I've even seen it mispelled on bus tickets. -.- But anyway... We still have to do those Marth/Sonic matches... And maybe some more Ike/Jigglypuff matches like last year at Apex. XD

Also, umbra.... $20 MM?
