Yo. This is Mr. Doom, get it right.


KANSAS WICHITA, KS​

In the Middle of "Nowhere"
Brings You


A smash tournament. Yeah, sorry for the corny title, but whatever. Kansas is trying to start a Wichita Monthly, featuring both Brawl and Melee. Are you interested? You better be.
This is the first tournament in the KS-IA-MO Brawl Circuit, so yeah.
GET HYPED!

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Some people may love this, while others may hate it. But no complaints. We are adopting the MLG rule-set for SSBB, since MLG is fast approaching. That's right. We'll be using MLG rules and stages for SSBB. Don't be alarmed or confused; read below for more information.

Venue: Boston Recreation Center

NOTICE: This tournament is going to be conducted on a Saturday. I'm expecting at most 60 people, but if we break the 60 person limit, that's fine, too. GET HYPED!

Confirmed Attendants
Ok, in order for this tournament to run a lot faster, I need for you guys to pre-register like so. That way, I can have your name down ahead of time. So, make a post on this thread confirming that you're going.

State: (State)
Wii? (Yes/No)
SSBB? (Yes/No)
TV? (Yes/No)

11:30 AM = Brawl and Melee Doubles begin.
02:00 PM = Brawl and Melee Singles begin.
05:30 PM = Wrap up of tournament. I want to see that this venue looks the same way it did before we got there. Got it?

Please be punctual at this tournament and play your matches when it is your turn to play them. I will NOT hesitate to disqualify you if you're six (6) minutes late.
Please be here on time. Please be here on time. Please be here on time.

Notice: We don't have enough time to break for lunch, so you'll have to eat beforehand. After the tournament, we can go on the corner of Harry and Woodlawn and get some food there. That's if everyone comes to a consensus.

Fees/Events:
The first event you enter will be $15. Any and all subsequent events you enter in will be $10 each per person. (You get $5 back if you bring a FULL setup, like a Wii, SSBB disc, and TV; or a GCN/Wii, SSBM disc, and TV)

Melee 2v2
No refunds! It messes up the pot amount.

HOUSING

Go to http://www.hotels.com/ and type in the address to Boston Recreational Facility (6655 E. Zimmerly Wichita, KS 67207, USA). It should show you ALL the hotels closest to the venue.

If you want free housing, however, please make a post in this thread! I'm pretty sure you want free housing, right?

__________________________________________________ ___

SETUPS

Please please PLEASE bring full setups(Wii/GCN, TV, and SSBB/SSBM). I can't stress this anymore than it has been already. If you bring a FULL setup, your venue fee will be waived. Setups MAKE or BREAK the speed of a tournament, so please help me out. If we want this done in a timely fashion, get it right by bringing a full setup. If you seriously can't bring a full set up, please bring a partial setup. Thanks in advance.

RULES

SSBB

  • This tournament will be a "Double Elimination." If you lose in the Winners' Bracket, you will be sent to the Losers' Bracket, and you will have to play many more sets in order to advance to Grand Finals. If you lose in the Losers' Bracket, it's GAME OVER for you
  • Each match should be a 3 Stock battle with an 8 minute timer
  • Items are set to "off" and "none"
  • Set format (In Order of Procedure) as follows:
  • For Game 1 of each set, the higher seeded Player/Team must strike three Stages from the list of Starter Stages. The lower seeded Player/Team must then strike 4 Stages from the list of Starter Stages. The higher seeded Player/Team must then choose the Game 1 Stage from the remaining Starter Stages. (*Double blind character selection may be called for the first match)
  • All sets with the possible exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above is recommended for any "finals" matches)
  • In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors.
  • Dave's Stupid Rule: 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.
  • 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. That also includes epic knees that freeze the game.
  • By entering the tournament you agree to have any tournament matches be recorded if possible (but that's highly unlikely), and be uploaded without the need for consent by the players in the match. The only time a match can be requested not to be uploaded is with extraordinary occurrences such as a power outage during the match. Reasoning: I believe that if players attend tournaments and play with the potential ability to win money at the expense of the community, the community is allowed to watch matches that are part of these tournaments that had money on the line.
  • The Mage's DQ rule is also in effect:
    2 Minutes Late: Warning
    4 Minutes Late: Loss of first match of set
    6 Minutes Late: Loss of set
  • People who advance to Winners, Losers, and Grand Finals must not be late, for they are ALSO subjected to this DQ rule.
  • The Mike Haze rule: No shouting at the opponent to intentionally disrupt his/her concentration on the game. You do it, and you'll be disqualified. I know you guys like to be all hype and stuff, but people really need to concentrate.

Specific rules

King DeDeDe's Chaingrab: You CANNOT Chain grab IN PLACE. NOT EVEN ONCE. The small step CG is banned as well. Normal CG is legal. You can do Wall infinites only until your opponent's damage exceeds 150%.

Ice Climber's Chaingrab: You can chain grab in place only until your opponent is at 300%. Exceeding 300% is an act of STALLING.

Stalling

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. Planking, however, is a perfect example. If I see it, you WILL lose your ENTIRE SET. No warnings! Play, don't gay.

Edge Grab Limit Rule

This is a new thing instituted by the MLG rule-set. Players are allowed to grab the edge a TOTAL of 35 times PER MATCH (assuming the game goes to timer). The numbers can be viewed AFTER a match on the results screen. If you exceed the limit even by a single ledge grab you will lose that game. If both players exceed the limit by a single edge grab, the game ends in a DRAW and it will be replayed. This is only if players run the clock to time.

Stages

Starter:
Smashville
Final Destination
Battlefield
Yoshi's Island (Brawl)
Pokémon Stadium 1
Delfino Plaza
Lylat Cruise
Halberd
Castle Siege

Counter-pick:
Brinstar
Frigate Orpheum
Rainbow Cruise
Pokémon Stadium 2
Green Greens
Norfair
PictoChat

Banned: Everything else. YOU CANNOT PLAY ON ANY OTHER STAGE. PERIOD! MLG RULESET, REMEMBER???

Now that that's over with, let's discuss the Melee rules, shall we?

SSBM

  • 4 stock, 8 minutes
  • Items OFF
  • Sets are best-of-3 except Winner's Finals, Loser's Finals, and Grand Finals, which are best-of-5.
  • Ties after the time limit are determined by stocks, then by percentage.
  • Wobbling is banned.
  • Master Hand is banned.
  • Glitches such as IC's Freeze Glitch and Mewtwo's Soul Stunner are banned.
  • Stalling with Jigglypuff's Rising Pound or Peach's Wall Bomber is banned.
  • Dave's Stupid Rule: You cannot counterpick a stage you already won on in a set unless agreed upon by the opponent.
  • The Mike Haze rule: No shouting at the opponent to intentionally disrupt his/her concentration on the game. You do it, and you'll be disqualified. I know you guys like to be all hype and stuff, but people really need to concentrate.

We're using the Pound 4 stagelist with a few tweaks:

Neutral (Singles)
Final Destination
Yoshi's Story
Dream Land
Battlefield
Fountain of Dreams

Counterpick (Singles)
Kongo Jungle
Brinstar
Rainbow Cruise
Pokémon Stadium

Neutral (Doubles)
Final Destination
Yoshi's Story
Dream Land
Battlefield
Pokémon Stadium

Counterpick (Doubles)
Kongo Jungle
Brinstar
Rainbow Cruise

Banned: Everything else.

Stage Striking will determine the stage for the first match of the set.

After each match:
  1. Winner announces stage ban
  2. Loser chooses counterpick stage
  3. Winner chooses their character
  4. Loser chooses their character
Doubles-Specific Rules:
  • Life stealing is allowed
  • Friendly Fire is turned ON

And that's all for the rules.

PAYOUTS AND POT CUTS

Pot Cut
10% of all the pots will be for maintenance.
10% of the brawl pots will be for the circuit championship pots.
The more you support, the bigger the pot gets later on.
The rest of the pot is distrubuted as follows.

The PAYOUT for 1v1 for BOTH Melee and Brawl is as follows

1st = 60%
2nd = 30%
3rd = 10%

The PAYOUT for 2v2 for BOTH Melee and Brawl is as follows

1st = 60%
2nd = 30%
3rd = 10%

Payout is subject to change if the attendance increases dramatically. We may even have to find a bigger venue if that happens...

If you still have problems, questions, etc., call Mr. Doom (316-214-4996) or AIM him at MrDoom8000.
If you see that there is some information missing, please call Mr. Doom or AIM him so that he can get it right.
Thank you in advance! And prepare yourself for the first tournament of the circuit!

If you need housing, make a post in this thread. Try to get here by Friday night. If you can't make it, then we may have some problems. The venue opens at 10AM on Saturday, and we only have an 8-hour slot as of now.

Original Post has been updated.

For you melee players, discuss what stages should be added/removed. We have more than a month and a half before the tourney begins.

Also, I'll be getting a call later on this afternoon from the guy I've been speaking to regarding the venue.

One more thing, as the day of the tournament draws near, we should discuss housing assignments.

I don't know if Mr. Doom worked things out with Petro since the date and venue is still tentative, but here is the original announcement by Petro for May Mayhem.

May Mayhem
May 29th
Wichita,ks
10am - 6pm (10am is setup and registration, officially begins at 11am)

The games as of now are SSFIV, Tekken 6 and Melty Blood. There is room for one more game, we can take a majority vote to determine what game people wanna see, TvC, CvS2, Alpha 3, Puzzle Fighter, Pocket Fighter, Darkstalkers - whatever.

The events are as follows:
SSFIV Singles and 2v2 Teams
Tekken 6 Singles and 3v3 with a point system (Tekken Crash, FT5 points win, can change character and MIGHT be double elimination since I think there was complaints last time)
Melty Blood (Swiss style)

Yo, this is Mr. Doom.
Of course Ike has a suicide attack: his Up+B attack. It's just highly unlikely that both players will die at the exact same time.
That's reeeeeeally stretching it. lol

Speaking of suicide KO's rules, where are they in the MLG rule-set? I thought that's what this was going by.

Hmm... I must have misread the MLG rule-set. I do not see anything about suicide KO's rules. This creates a small problem, but it can be rectified.

Yeah I re-read through it and saw it doesn't say anything about it. Closest it gets is Rule 17, which doesn't really talk about suicides, just if the match is tied as time runs out. I could've sworn it said something about the SDs but maybe I was wrong.

An update on the situation: I just got off the phone with Petro. The venue is not the problem. The problem is that we need more people to express interest in this tournament. If we can get at least thirty (30) people to attend this tournament, then we will be set. I'll get back in touch with Petro this weekend regarding how many people would want to attend. All we need is at least thirty (30) people to show up.

I appreciate your help, Stealth Raptor. I have also talked to some people down in Texas and in Oklahoma as well. Perhaps Iowa and Colorado could come, too? And maybe Winnesota Kansasota Minnesota.

Can you remove the suicide rule from the OP? We don't want people getting confused about that.

MJG, could you post my tourney link on AiB for me? I really haven't been to AiB too often, so I wouldn't be familiar with it, so I would greatly appreciate it if you would do that for me.

Affinity, the OP has been updated.

Arghh, I believe I have a wedding to go to this day :(
just say grats when you get back from the tourney. you can explain everything like this... their marriage should last forever, and the tourney is only one day. if they want you there for one day of it then they clearly expect to be divorced very soon and its not worth your time to celebrate the farce they insist upon to merely attain gifts... its all very logical.
