The first St Phillip's tournament was a nice little suprise with 30 entrants. After unexpectedly running the first tournament (it's just what I do :laugh:) I've been asked to run the next event. Hopefully we can get a high local attendance since there will be no venue fee. Food such as frito pie and hot dogs will be on sale. Tell all your friends! Anyone is welcome!


Where:

St Philip's College

801 Martin Luther King Drive
San Antonio, TX 78203-2098

Heritage Room (more on this later)

Entry Fees:

Venue Fee: NONE! NOTHING! ZERO! NADA! $0.00!

All games will be 5 dollars to enter. Teams will be 5 dollars per person on the team (so 10 dollars per team).

Schedule of Events:

Doors open at 10:00 am, closing at 9 pm. Registration is open until an event has begun.

Brawl singles @ 2 pm

Street Fighter IV @ 3 pm
Tekken 6 @ 3:30 pm
Melee @ 4 pm

Prize Layout:

All games will pay out in cash.

2nd: 25%
3rd: 15%

General Rules:

Double Elimination
Best 2/3 matches
Finals (Winners, Losers, and Grand) will be best 3/5 matches
Pausing will result in the loss of a round unless the opponent lets it slide.
All button changes MUST BE DONE before the rounds begin.
If any rules are broken, you should report WHEN IT HAPPENS, not after the fact.


Tatsunoko vs Capcom

All characters allowed
Winner stays, loser may change teams. Team order must be kept the same.

Winner stays, loser may change characters.


***Super Smash Bros Brawl***

* Matches are best of 3 except in the case of winner's/loser's finals and grand finals.
* In the event of a dispute(1vs1 or 2vs2), controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors
* First round stage will be determined by stage strike system.
* No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
* In teams matches, ports will be 1221.
* If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
* If sudden death occurs, sudden death will be ignored and a 1 stock, 4 min overtime match will take place on the same stage.
* Make sure you fix your controller and your tag before you start playing. 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.


Banned Techs

* Meta Knight's infinite dimensional cape.
* DeDeDe's Infinite grab if the opponent is over 250%.
* Infinite wall grab if the opponent is over 250%. Does not apply if the wall will eventually go away, i.e. PS1.
* Stalling, including planking and scrooging, is banned. Stalling is 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. If you are unsure a tactic is considered stalling, ask the TO before using it


Other Rules

* Bowser/Ganon suicide attacks. If these moves are used to end a match and a sudden death is then started. Bowser/ Ganon will be declared the winners and the sudden death will be ignored.
* Ledge Grab Limit Rule: Characters are allowed to grab the ledge a total of 50 times per game. If you think that your opponent grabbed more than this, check the stats after the round. If it is exceeded the limit even by a single ledge grab you will lose your match (not the set). However, this rule can be ignored if BOTH players agree.
* MikeHaze rule: No yelling or making abrupt noises at your opponent.
* Chibo's Video-for-the-masses rule: You cannot refuse to be recorded if you pay money to enter an event.

yeah shouldnt Chibo's rule be the opposite?

like, because you're paying money you can refuse to be recorded?

its no biggie, it just seems like a common sense thing.

edit: i like your conclusion Espy

hype for 2nd St Phillips Tourney! the first one was super fun, the place was awesome and there was a better than expected turnout.

also i placed top5 because Espy/Morningstar didnt go

edit2: i JUST saw that venue fee! thats my kind of venue fee! :)

The video thing makes sense. You enter an event, you have to expect some type of publicity.
Like football players.

Bad example is bad, but you get my point. You can't expect to hide when you do well at a tournament.

@Frost: I hope whatever tournament you go to for whatever game you play, you get yelled at during an intense game. Loudly.

Very horrible example, football is MADE to be shown on tv and they get paid millions regardless if they win or lose. They also dont pay to play every game.
2.Mikehaze rule should be into effect if you are getting chaingrabbed
If im being gay and chaingrabbing someone then i deserve it. Idk if they allow yelling like that in MvC2 but they should.

1. The stop at 5 rule is old as hell HOBO junk. I'm never putting anything arbitrary like that in my ruleset.

2. The mike haze rule is essentially good sportsmanship. It's an unwritten rule in most tournaments. Thanks to Mike Haze it has become a written one, at least in the smash community.

3. This is because M2K hates being recorded, but dammit every TO and fan wants to see the matches. TO basically says prepare to be recorded if you're in the finals. End of story.

I don't know if St Phillips will have anything on hand besides the plasma TVs, I will ask.

More TVs is never ever a bad thing to have.

Also lol I could ride with you and 3 TVs, not sure if I want to be squished in the back like that one time though.

You're the closet smasher to me!

The Chibo video rule is taken a tad out of context, but it's close enough. It's official stating has a more indepth explanation, but a good short way of putting it is "By entering this tournament you agree to allow any tournament matches of you be recorded and uploaded if possible"

Yeah, we are going to take care of that after all entries have been put in (late entries included). We'll have the gift cards ready to go.

What is this?!?!

I think that was a little uncalled for Xyro, considering that I'm bringing Espy and Prime to HOBO 23. >_>

@ PX/Grey.................... whats this then^




Its been clear FOREVER that HOBO gets the first weekend of each month. I know this has NEVER been a rule but 99% ALL of the TOs in tx try to work around it and i try and not take up any other weekends so that phase of FS or w/e can have thier free and clear. Hell, i have even CHANGED my date when FS8 happened because i wanted it to do well.....Then stuff like this happens.


Its just wrong. Well its a mistake i will never make again.











PS: when i said "you guys" i should have put SAN ANTONIO and its TOs. Not the actual players like grey/espy/ect

That post was made prior to the SA group deciding to go to HOBO23.
So...yeah.

If you want proof:

Well, I think this is also during HOBO23.

.....

=====

...we need to go to HOBO23.
NOW.
Posted 2-08-10

=====

Good-bye 1st place in San Antonio...again.

lol.

So anyways, we should start planning for HOBO23.

If JUJ and Grey are assumed to be green, then that's two.
Then I have to go (****it Xyro), and I'm not sure about K Prime. Morningstar's shown interest, and Tofer wants to go as well.

Was anyone else interested in going to HOBO23?
Posted 2-09-10.

=====

Rest assured that SA is coming to HOBO23.

St. Phillips is more or less for the San Antonio players that can't show to HOBO, or for Phantom, who needs money for FF13.
