Phase 11
July 17th, 2010​

• Absolutely NO CUSSING in the store, or the store owner can throw you out.
• 3 Stock for Brawl. 4 Stock for Melee. 4 Stock for Brawl Minus.
• 8 minute timer.
• Items are set to "Off" and "None"
• Matches are best of 3. Winners/Losers/Grand Finals are best of 5.
• Controller port disputes will be resolved by Rock-Paper-Scissors or higher number with G&W's SideB.
• Brawl: 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 one team will get ports 1 and 4, while the other team gets ports 2 and 3.
• 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.
• [Time Limit] If the timer runs out, the winner of the game will be determined by the number of stocks (the highest number will win). If stocks are tied, sudden death won’t be used and a tiebreaker round will be played instead. In a tiebreaker round, stock will be set to 1, the timer will be set to 4 minutes, and the same stage and characters must be used.

• No use of Marth’s and Squirtle’s grab release infinites against Ness.
• No use of King Dedede’s standing grab infinites against Bowser, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Samus, and Mario.
• No use of Metaknight’s infinite cape glitch.
• No pausing a game without the other player's permission.
• No use of an action that freezes a game, or otherwise disrupts standard gameplay.
• Any infinite move must end before the affected character reaches 300%.
• Players may request a blind pick of characters for the game 1 of a match.
• Players may not intentionally manipulate a button, trigger, bumper, D-Pad, and/or joystick on a teammate’s controller while a game is in progress. Breaking this rule will result in a forfeit of the game.
• [Stage Striking] For game 1 of each match, 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.
• [Ledge Grab Limit] If the timer runs out and a player exceeds the ledge grab limit for that game’s stage, that player/team will forfeit the game. However, if the timer runs out and both players in a 1v1 match, or at least one player on each 2v2 team, exceed the ledge grab limit for that game’s stage, the penalty will not be enforced (instead, use the [Time Limit] rule above). The ledge grab limit will be 35. The ledge grab limits only apply to games/tiebreaker rounds in which the timer runs out.
• [Continuation Sets] If players are scheduled to play each other for a 2nd time, their match will expand to a Best of 7, include the previous match, and pick up where that match left off. For example, if Player A beat Player B 2 games to 0 in the winners bracket, the Best of 7 will resume with game 3 and Player A leading 2 games to 0. When the match is resumed, the loser of the winners bracket match must select the stage for the upcoming game. When the match is resumed, the winner of the winners bracket match must select their character for the upcoming game first. The loser of the winners bracket match must then select their character for the upcoming game.

• MikeHaze rule: No yelling or making abrupt noises at your opponent. This applies to EVERYONE, players and spectators. Simply talking to the players (and Exodia moments) are exempt.
• Chibo's Video-for-the-masses rule: You cannot refuse to be recorded if you pay money to enter an event.
• Razer's No Coaching rule: Spectators may NOT coach/give advice to the players while they are playing a tournament game. In between games of a set is ok.

Please note the rules for "When time runs out" have changed for this tournament. You can find them under General Rules -> [Time Limit]

And no, the reasoning behind using this has nothing to do with what happened last Phase.

I think the rule is kind of silly. It's just going to promote camping from the player that is losing in %.



Say I'm playing dojo and he has 2 stocks to my 1 stock and I'm at 120%. I get a grab and CG him till 300% or w/e right before the time runs out I kill him. Then I get 1 grab in overtime and win.

That rule stops people from planking. No more getting the lead and running to the ledge. Awesome?

Instead the player who is behind can run to the ledge and plank long enough for the timer to run out, then get a completely fresh stock and totally negate the other player's lead and possibly win the game due to an adjustment in the rules.

Yeah guys remember to please read over ALL of the rules. I tried to take most of them from MLG (except some like referee ones). That's not to say that I've added a few personal touches like this new [Time Limit] rule and Razer's No Coaching rule.
