Check out our AiB thread also!! http://allisbrawl.com/ttournament.aspx?id=9809

Hey guys, so I know it's been a while since I have regularly hosted stuff in Long Island, but I have recently come into contact with an old friend who has a new venue that just opened up in Nassau County. He just let me know that they are interested in hosting smash tournaments!!

What do you think? Shall we bring back a consistent venue to LI? With a cheap $5 venue fee?





Setups:

Will - 1 Wii, 2 TV, 1 Brawl/Melee w/memory card
Kirin- 1 Wii, 1 TV, 1 Brawl
PD - 1 Wii, 1 TV, 1 Brawl
Smashjin- 1 Wii, 3 TV, 1 Brawl, 1 Gamecube, 1 Melee w/memory card
MechWarriorNY- 1 Wii, 1 Brawl, 1 Gamecube
Drift108- 1 Wii, 1 Brawl, livestream equipment!!
Demonic Toon Link- 1 Wii, 1 Brawl
Venue - 2 Wii, 2 TV, 2 Brawl

Also, please bring surge protectors/power strips if you can!!! It would be extremely helpful, thanks!


Registration: 11:00am-12:30pm

Events:

Melee Doubles 12:30pm-1:30pm, Entry: $10 per teammate
Melee Singles 1:30pm-3:00pm, Entry: $10
Brawl Doubles 3:00pm-5:00pm, Entry: $10 per teammate
Brawl Singles 5:00pm- to be finished asap so as to allow for as many friendlies as we can ^_^, Entry: $10

The venue will be closing by 12:00am midnight, so be sure to have your rides and transportation plans set for that!!

Here is the address of the venue:

TDS Computers and Electronics
933 Port Washington Blvd.
Port Washington, NY 11050

Phone: 516-944-5193

- $5 venue fee
- Convenient location
- Candy bars for sale ($1 each)
- Drinks for sale ($0.75 a can)
- Pizza for sale ($2 for reg. slices and $2.50 for pepperoni slices)

Also, and this is very important- we want to know which day you guys would prefer during the summer: Saturday or Sunday? I figured we should ask first since I know Sundays will be more do-able during the summer although Saturdays are generally preferred. In addition, depending on the turnouts of these, the owner is willing to run the events monthly, or even twice a month! So show some hype!!! ^_^

The poll will determine the general day on which these events will be held, but our initial goal is to start hosting on Sunday, June 13** if only for you guys to get a feel for the venue and show you that it's legit. =)

Note: Big out of state tournaments are usually held on Saturdays, so I think it would be a cool idea if we could do Sundays at this venue =) But it's up to you guys.

Public Transportation

If you are coming from Manhattan, you can take the train from Penn Station (the Port Washington line) straight to Port Washington- it's the last stop.

Here is the link for the train times on 6/13/10:
http://lirr42.mta.info/sfweb/faces/departSchedules.jspx

Also, if you click "Fares" it will determine the cost from wherever you are coming from. If you are coming from Penn Station, it should be $6.75 each way, so thats $13.50 round trip. Not bad =P

Ruleset:

Brawl Rules:

* 3 stock
* 8 minute time limit
* Best 2 of 3. finals matches (losers/winners/grand) being best 3 of 5

Stage Banning: Each player / team may select up to 1 stage that will be banned from the tournament set.

Counterpick Rule: The loser of the match first chooses the stage that the next match of the set will be played on. The opponent, then, makes the choice of changing character or not. than the loser of the match selects his/her character.

* Controller Mods are banned Violation of any rule is punishable by non-refunded disqualification.

In the event of a TIE at the end of the time limit, the player with the most stocks wins. If both players have one stock then it is decided by percentage. If both players have SAME STOCK and SAME PERCENTAGE the players will quit the SUDDEN DEATH, set the stock to one, and start a match with stage being the same as where they had the tie. This will determine the winner.

Each Round is best of three matches; Grand/Losers/Winners Finals are best of five matches*

Singles seeding will be random with some courtesy to crews – you will be spaced evenly as to prevent playing each other in the first round. One of the two criteria must be fulfilled in ordered to be favored. You MUST have 3 or more people in a group hailing from the same region, or you must be part of a crew. Teams seeding will be done randomly.

Melee Rules:

Neutrals 1v1:

* FD
* Yoshi's Story
* Dreamland
* Battlefield
* Fountain of Dreams

Neutrals 2v2:

* FD
* Yoshi's Story
* Dreamland
* Battlefield
* Pokemon Stadium

Counterpicks 1v1:

* Kongo Jungle
* Brinstar
* Rainbow Cruise
* Pokemon Stadium

Counterpicks 2v2:

* Kongo Jungle
* Brinstar
* Rainbow Cruise

Stage Striking will be in effect for the first match of the set. The player with the lower port will get to choose the first strike. Loser choses ban before next match.

One ban per player per set. To be chosen after loss.

Modified DSR: You cannot go back to the last stage you won in a set, unless agreed upon by the other player.

The player choice clause!:: If both players agree to a rule outside of my ruleset, feel free to play by that. If one player wants to counterpick Mute City and the other player is fine with that because they think it's a fair stage, then that is more than fine. However in the event the two players disagree, house rules stand.

I'll be here regardless, modulating the days to avoid other tournies is probably the best bet, imo.

Long *** ride, though.

OH EM GEE!!!!
This is the 516 area? THAT IS WHERE I LIVE!

I've been trying to find good venue spots in my area for a few months. Only came up with the Gametable in Mineola, and perhaps one large one on Main St, Port Washington I can tell you about in secret ;)

And for those complaining about the far drive who actually live out on the island... isn't it better than driving all the way west to the city???

*Rides hype train*

Sunday sounds coooooo
Hehe, love the avi. Hayley Williams is hot. :p

I might wanna go to this, but do I have to qualify for anything first, or is this for everyone?

I had to make a judgment call- seeing as June 20 is Father's Day, for the sake of attendance I have amended the date of our first event. It will now take place on June 13, and you can expect a real tournament thread to be posted very soon!

June 13th? Are they still being held on the 20th still, or no?
Well, the 20th is Father's Day, so I figured that wouldn't be a good idea lol. We're changing it to the 13th for that reason. It's looking like our tournaments will be held on Saturdays in general over the summer, and will either be once or twice a month depending on the size of the turnouts.

So everybody come, invite your friends too!! I am going to try and let as many people know as possible before our first event, though I am anticipating a bit smaller of a turnout since it will be the weekend right after MLG, and the day right after a big NJ regional.
