Hey all,

Welcome to the new line of Hagerstown tournaments! This one is at a NEW venue!

When: Saturday, March, 20th 2010

Where:
Hagerstown Community College
11400 Robinwood Drive
Hagerstown, MD

Schedule:
11:00 A.M.: Registration for Singles + Doubles
11:45 A.M.: Seeding begins for teams
12:00 P.M. Teams Begins
3:30 Brawl Singles Pools**
Brawl Singles Bracket will begin as soon as pools are completed.
Yugioh will be happening amidst both tournaments and being played when available.

**Brawl Singles Will begin most likely while teams grand finals is taking place. This means it might start earlier or later than the slated time.

About Pools: Pools will ideally narrow down our Entrants to a small bracket. If we have 25 entrants or less, we'll do an 8 man bracket. >25 will get us a 16 man bracket. What and how many will be determined when we get there.

Fee:
$5 Dollar venue fee
$10 for singles
$20 dollars for team (10 per person)
$5 for Yugioh


If you bring a full setup your venue fee is waived! A full setup = TV + Wii + Brawl.

Payouts

Singles:
1st 50%
2nd 25%
3rd 15%
4th 5%
5th 2.5%
5th 2.5%

Teams:
1st 60%
2nd 30%
3rd 10%

Yugioh:
1st 60%
2nd 30%
3rd 10%

Rules: (these are pretty standard)
* 3 Stock

* 8 minute timer

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

* Sets best of 3
Finals will be played best of 5.

* 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 or to save on time you could just agree to something on your own. If there is a conflict in singles, RPS will come into effect as well.

* If the timer runs out, the victor is determined by stock then percentage. If percentage is the same then a 1 stock tie breaker match will be played using the same characters and same stage.

* Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.

* Since Bowsercide is completely port dependent. Bowser automatically wins if he uses bowsercide to get the final KO regardless of port or who the game says to be the winner.

* You are responsible for your own controller. 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.

* 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.

* Ganon/Dedede/Kirbyciding- This results in a one-stock run off, regardless of who the game says is the winner (unless the person broke out at the last second and kirby/d3 died first). Ganon losing/tieing is controller port dependent.

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 must end quickly after 200% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

* There will be a 40 ledge grab rule in this tournament for singles. This will come into play if the time runs out. If the timer runs out, and a person has over 40 ledge grabs, they will lose regardless of the outcome.

* There will be a combined 80 ledge grab rule in teams PER TEAM. This will come into play if the time runs out. If the timer runs out, and a team has over 80 ledge grabs combined, they will lose regardless of the outcome.



Set format (In Order of Procedure):
1. Players pick character. Double blind pick may be called
2. Each player may announce one stage to be banned from counterpicks or neutrals for the set
4. The first game is played on a stage that both players agree on. If agreement cannot be made then random stage from neutrals.
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


Additional Rules for Double's Play

* Life Stealing is allowed
* Set team attack to ON


Additional Rules

* Port slob picks: On a player's counterpick, that player may opt to redo the port selection process with that player or team picking their port first.

* Resolving Ties: Any games ending in time running out should always be decided by stock then percentages. If the percentages are the same then a 1 stock tie breaker match will be played with same characters and same stage. At no time will sudden death be played.

Wiimotes and classic controllers are allowed but we would prefer if you used gamecube. You are responsible for your controller. Take any necessary actions to prevent interference such as removing batteries.

*Don't be douche.

Okay, this is going to sound stupid, but I know nothing about Yugioh. How do you all get your names for your decks? Are there like premade decks that you just tweek?

It has been years since I played yugioh and back then matches would never finish because we would argue about what a cards effect was.

Thanks for letting me know where to CP ;)


No need to worry though really, unless you play Snake (aka play gay) I won't CP you there, I don't like gay stages anyway.

Wow....how can Wolf benefit from Japes? Well unless you go MK on it of course.
Wolf is good on every stage except a few. Plus he kills of the sides. I don't have to approach cause I can just laser camp on the right side and then kill with Dsmash or bairs. Plus Wolf's down grab will kill anyone on that stage unless they tech the dthrow in which case I'll re-grab.

Can we all agree that Yugioh is NOT a video game i'm really good at like mariokart or TvC, so we should have a tourney for those instead

We will have POOLS at this event! Regardless of the number of entrants.

So with that comes a small bracket at the end. I want you all to vote on what we'll do. Normally we would do a double elimination bracket, but I'm going to make an alternate proposal

Option #1: Double elimination bracket with finals 3 of 5
Option #2: Single elimination bracket, ALL SETS 3 of 5, with finals being 4 of 7, 5th place will be determined by the losers of quarter final brackets playing 3 of 5 sets

Option #2 will be a bit quicker, and uncanny, I thought i'd throw the idea out there and see if anyone would like to do it that way.

Also, I've made 2 MORE RULE CHANGES which should please everyone...

1. Rainbow Cruise is added to the list of CPs
2. You now get 2 stage bans, only one of which can be a neutral (FD, Smashville, Battlefield)

Pools will take just as long as brackets would, but to the people not in brackets, I say:

Would you rather fight 2 people, get last and not have a chance or play 4 or 5 people and even though you didn't get out, you got your money's worth and got a chance to get tons of experience.

I also have a neat trick to make the pools go fast, the Htown venue has TONS of setups, like we will have anywhere from 10-15 setups here, meaning I can definitely do 2 tvs per pool. Which makes things go a lot faster.

Honestly I rather get last then not even get into brackets.

At least I would get a place then lol. But I don't really enter singles that much anyways.

^^Actually, you will get a placing. I didn't do it before at pound because of confusion of positions- but you will get a placing at this event.

Well that placing would be pointless to me because you still didn't place in the bracket so it basically is placing worst then last imo.

But I just hate pools in general because people cheat them and stuff all the time and its not fun getting cheated by f@gs from my experience.
