Tournament Rules

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

* 3 Stock

* 8 minute timer

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

* 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.

* You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. 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.

* The Mages DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is two minutes late he will receive a warning. At 4 minutes late, he will be given a loss for the first game of the set. After six minutes, he will be given a loss of the entire set.

Additional Rules for Doubles Play

* Life Stealing is allowed

* Set team attack to ON

Set format (In Order of Procedure):
1. Opponents choose their characters for the first match *
2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure
3. Each player may announce one stage to be banned for counterpicks of the set
4. The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2
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

We had originally planned on having a Melee doubles event, but due to the lack of people that showed up for melee, this did not happen. We would like to try having another doubles event aside from Brawl, whether it be Melee, Brawl+, Brawl- or whatever. We can try to fit something in. The tournament went rather smoothly last time around, so I think we can manage it for the next one.

But as always, let us know what you guys think.

I probably can't make this since I'm requesting off 11 days in a row in early june for MLG + Showdown.
Hopefully can make the July one. =\

On the off chance I don't get scheduled this day I'll come.

Melee turnout was extremely dissappointing. Step it up, I can't believe that the Melee scene had more johns at the last DB than the Brawl scene.

Jeez what job lets you get 11 days off in a row :psycho:
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

Hopefully I can make this one. I've learned to never promise anything though...too much else can happen. Though I'd totally use a GPS this time lol. And if I go, I'll most likely bring a full setup.

EDIT: @Webster That's what she said =D

Yeah, this is north of Chicago. No where close to southern Illinois. That's okay since nobody lives in southern Illinois.
