Apologies for the late posting, I had to yell @ Space and Planning in order to get this finalized.
What's the best way to get hype for the Super Bowl? Smash Bros!
The Skinny
If you are late and you want to stay in the bracket you will have to pay a $4 fee (which will be put in the pot) to stay in the bracket. If you are late by 45 minutes or later, you will be automatically removed from tournament play, regardless of whether or not you paid. - With your entrance into this tourney, you hereby give your right for all your matches to be recorded.
- There will be NO FOOD allowed in the venue. If I see anyone eating anything, you forfeit your next round of matches. If you want to eat, take it outside (there are several benches outside, plus several study/break rooms for you to eat, but make sure to throw your trash away).
- Drinks are allowed, but make sure that your drink is closed container. If I see any spills with any kind of drink, then drinks will be prohibited, and a similar rule will be in effect as the one above.
- Pausing without warning or acceptance from the opponents will result in a loss of that round.
- I reserve the right to remove entrants from the tournament @ my discretion should there be any reason for additional removals of entrants
- Livestreaming the tourney is a possibility
- Bring foldable chairs if you have them! The venue is a little bit smaller than the one I reserved last time, meaning there won't be as many chairs. 25 seats are guaranteed to be there, but it's better to err on the side of caution.

Setups
Pricing/Prizes
No door fee!
Brawl singles: $8
Melee singles: $8
Brawl doubles: $16 per team
Melee doubles: $16 per team
Pot split for all events will be 70/20/10
You can also pre-register on paypal. Just send $7.50 (this is to help defray the costs of the convenience fee) to kingshavy@gmail.com. Be sure to put the title of the thread under the reason that you are sending the money & screencap the receipt for record keeping purposes (this keeps everyone honest). Preregistration lasts until Wednesday, February 3, 2010 @ 23:59.59.
One more thing: Bring Exact Change for All Events. In the event of an emergency, there is a Bank of America ATM next door (on 8th Street, by the West Side Market). But seriously, don’t be that guy that brings $40 and asks people to split it. No one will, and you won’t play. Simple as that.
Schedule:
1400 (2pm) Melee & Brawl Doubles starts
1700 (5pm) Melee & Brawl Singles Start
I would like to have half of the TVs running tourney matches, and the other half friendlies or MM. After the event ends, all TVs will be available for friendlies and/or MM. The tourney officially ends @ 2200 (10pm), or when all tourney matches have ended, whichever is earlier.
Melee Rules:
- This is a double elimination tourney. Pools may or may not be added depending on the number of people.
- Items off.
- Ties are broken by remaining lives, then %. If both criteria are tied, then the Sudden Death match will be played out.
- First stage is random from the Neutral stages listed below.
- The loser of the first match will announce a new stage to play on for the next game. The winner will then be allowed to switch characters, followed by the loser. Apply the same logic for the third match (and fourth/fifth when applicable) if there is one. (Advanced Slob Picks)
- No stage may be used twice in a single set if the counter-picking player has already won on that stage, unless the opponent agrees to use the stage again. (Dave's Stupid Rule)
- Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime before the first game of a set starts, and only apply to the first game.
- Each person (or team) may choose one stage to be disabled for the entire set at the START OF THE SET, after characters have been chosen but before the random stage has been picked.
- Controller Mods, Glitches (IC Freeze Glitch, Mewtwo Soul Stunner, etc), and tactics used to stall a match (wall-bombing, rising pound), are banned.
- Wobbling is permitted up to 300% or for the duration of 30 seconds, whichever is shorter. Any Wobbling above said amounts will result in a loss of the current game being played.

Transportation Concerns
I know that for many of us, transportation is the biggest concern when heading to a tourney. These issues and all possible solutions are discussed below.
So, the largest john that I often hear when it comes to going to tourneys is “transportation johns!”
Well, my tourney is going to put an end to that—hopefully. Okay, for those of you without cars, MARTA (& Georgia Tech Transportation) can get you to the venue with you possibly walking for only 2 minutes. I could go into painstaking detail for every single case, but rather than do that; I will post the link for the rail lines and the respective conncetions for them here. In order to make it simpler, if you are interested into coming along and don’t have a ride, do the following: List the city you’re in, and I will give you detailed list of directions on how to get here.

Regardless of your choice, you will be getting off on the same stop, which is Midtown (N4).
Once on the Midtown station, exit on the West Peachtree St. exit and wait for the Tech Trolley.
The Tech Trolley Looks like this
Hop on the Tech Trolley and get off on the stop that is on the intersection of Ferst and Hemphill. NB You can find out when the next Tech Trolley is arriving by going to Next Bus on your internet enabled device, picking Georgia Tech, then selecting Tech Trolley (to Campus Rec Center)
Walk up Hemphill Avenue, take a left on 8th street, the venue will be on your left (it’s next door to the West Side Market)
