We will probably be at the venue until about 8 or 9, so friendlies will be after. If we have a Lot of time after melee singles(like 4+ hours), we will do a low tier tourney/crew battles


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 winning this because by this time my Snake will actually be good enough. And this also depends on if LoCal can go which hopefully we can instead of just Fishy going.

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.

Im going to make one or two changes to the rulesets tomorrow, to reflect APEX's rulesets. The main Brawl difference is that theres an extra CP thing: when your cping, and after the ban you decide the next cp is a random neutral, both players have to stay as their respective characters. I verified this with Alex over aim.

Items MM? Now you're talking my language. While we're at it, how about a $2 single elimination items tourney? Something to get warmed up on. The same rules for every tournament is so boring. I'll consider this event, but I'm not making any promises until characters like RHCP, Jarvitz, and Uzi start showing up. If they go, I have to represent Man Brawl.
