3 stock
8 minute time limit
Best 2 of 3. finals matches (losers/winners/grand) being best 3 of 5
Double Elimination
50 Ledge grab rule ( if you time out each other in a match and you go over 50 ledge grabs you lose that match. )
Items are OFF including smash ball
* If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.

* Resolving Ties: If percents are the same or both players die simultaneously, there will be a 1 stock, 3 minute, same characters, same stage rematch.

* 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 the G&W hammer rule.

* 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.

* Extending Meta Knight's Dimensional Cape by leaving the ground and returning to it while invisible is banned. (For example, flicking the C-Stick up while holding down on the control stick during the move will cause this to happen.)

* Stalling is banned.
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, while using an infinite to run out the timer rather than to score a KO is. As such, any infinite chain-grabs, locks, etc. cannot exceed 300%.

* Any action which prevents the game from continuing (i.e. by causing the game to crash or causing all characters to freeze indefinitely) is banned. If the Tournament Organizer or a judge can conclusively determine the player responsible for the failure, that player loses the interrupted game. Players are expected to know their characters and prevent this from happening.

* Some interactions (for example, a throw with a wind attack) can cause one character to become frozen until being hit. If this happens, the free character is expected to capitalize on this in a timely manner; a failure to do so is stalling.

• Team attack ON
• Life stealing is allowed

Gotta say I really like this stagelist but what I especially loved was how accepting everyone was of it at the last tourney. Such a varied list made things more interesting and really these local tourneys are the perfect place to use such a liberal stagelist to be more prepared when we travel to bigger tourneys.

This rule is really really cool. Was this in place last time too?

Confirm for Brawl, someone carry me in doubles kthnx?


Piri Piri chicken is reason enough to come

Confirm me with my Wii, Brawl, and power bar.

Laptop if needed, once again.

Edit: I dunno if I'm doing dubs yet.

Anyone wanna partner up? No Lucario this time. lol

Yo ill come and you know my sexy projector will be there with me XD

I'll do what i can to make sure i do not work that day so i can attend this one, i most likely will show up ; ). The last one was my best placement and i had the most fun at that tourney out of everyone I have been to. I don't believe my brother will be able to show up though but my friend tdawg should be showing up.

This is already looking to be a sexy tournament.

Posting for acknowledgement, as the date comes closer, I'll see about attendance

i agree with avarice, i love the stagelist. i like how it has a lot of stage variety without making some of the more ridiculous counterpicks like green greens/port town legal

also next tournament im gonna make sure to have a piece of tape on my tv telling people to save all replays, i shouldve done that last tourney because i only got 8 replays saved all day (and half of those are friendlies). i recommend other people with infinite replays on their wii do the same.

These are getting frequent! I still can't make this Saturday tournament, (Hoping for a date change) but if the next one happens during Christmas vacation, I'll be able to attend.

Have fun everyone!

probably be there.

Of course I'm in. Gonna place above last this time. My goal is to win at least 2 sets.

I'm going to throw up a group on facebook for the gta smash scene, hopefully get us more players that way.

I love the incentive Dirt, please keep that group active!

Good to hear you guys like the neutrals cause I personally fcking loved them, made sets much much more intersting and fun to watch. Get ***** brose by castle siege.

I'm definitely ****ing down for this. Was ballin as **** last time.

Also, Tinaye, you're forgiven.

Make up hug next this tourney?

As far as I know, I'm there. Put me down for Wii + Brawl. Dubs again, Dirt?

Doors open at 10AM this time people.

10AM doors are soo much better.

NEW RULE! (outdated, look 3 posts down)

G&W hammer rule: Both Parties will select 1 representative to compete in a 1v1 G&W Ditto. The stage does not matter. Once a stage is selected, and the game has begun, both G&W's must use their hammers. The player who results in the higher number from G&W's hammer gets to choose controller ports and stage striking order. In the event of a tie, the players must use the hammer again until the tie is resolved.

Im disappointed by the lack of RPS.
This is on the week of my birthday (18 huuzzah!) Im not sure if Im coming. :/

why are there not two rolls?
previous there were 2 RPS games to decide these two things.

alternatively the winner of the roll should gain the benefit of choosing which s/he wants to pick first (stage striking or port).

by having only 1 roll you are giving the winner twice the benefit he previously had (and as such the losert comes out equally worse by comparison.

consider a soccer game. a coin is flipped (random chance) and the winner gets to choose side or ball. the loser gets that which the winner does not choose. the winner still gets the benefit of picking first, but s/he doesn't obtain both benefits.

what do you think.

Sounds hella legit. Imma add a lil something something for the winner tho
