* 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

General Rules:-no illegal substances, no alcohol, no green (inside venue)
-don't smell, please shower
-Tournament matches have priority over friendlies and MMs. MMs have priority over friendlies
-Keep trash talking casual, no need for us to witness someone getting a punch in the face

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 decide their team or individual color 1st as well as whether they would like port priority or whether they would like to choose the stage striking order. In the event of a tie, the players must use the hammer again until the tie is resolved. The losing party receives the benefit the winning party didn't want. In 1v1, the person who obtained the privilege of port priority will choose their ports 1st. In a 2v2, the party with port priority will have 1 member pick a port 1st and the 2nd member pick a port after both members of the other party have selected their ports.

Great, another tourney.

So let's see, if I went from dead last to just below the pools cutoff from my first tourney to my second... I'm either going to place dead last in brackets or place just below a placing that matters. Or, alternatively, place 1st.

Me and a friend are coming, given that nothing else gets in the way before hand.

sign me, pills nd coast up k

Sol Diviner said:

January 22, huh? I have the money to attend... but do I really want to go all the way up there for my first tourney, or stick with Pound V? What about housing? Like, do we provide our own room (hotel, hostel, etc.)? I mean, last I checked, I've nothing to do that day or the several days after, so I could attend. It depends on whether or not the trip up there is a bit too pricey or not... same goes with housing.

Man, we would love Americans at our tournaments but I'll be honest with you. If that ticket to Toronto can't be under $100 for round trip don't bother and save it for Pound 5 because that is going to be an expensive trip that you'll need a lot of money for. But if you'd like to attend, and your main concern would be housing there are people here willing to do so. I, for myself, would be willing to house you along with ally and holy BUT you are to being a sleeping bag because there is only one couch and one other thin mattress.

I dunno if they can come or not, that's all, we're just the ones coming for sure

Likely coming to this, I'll be working/living in Toronto for the winter term.

FORSURE i will go thats out of the question the only issue is that if it finishes mad late then the busses might not be running and i might not have a ride home so ill have to have a plan b for someone to drive me back home just in case

ShiFU is coming oh nooo

Put me as a maybe. 50/50 right now.


Also, if I do go...

Dubs anyone?

i will be there

Sol Diviner said:

I'll see what I can do. Honestly, it isn't the price of the bus/train ticket that worries me, more than it's housing in with total strangers. I'm... rather shy, unless I bring a friend. I can try to drag a friend along - preferably one who also plays Brawl. But don't quote me on that just yet. I'll let you know in due time if I will be able to attend or not. :3

Well, if this is going to be your first tournament. I guarentee this, you will have LOTS of fun around the GTA crowd. I've yet to go to one of our tournaments, where I havent loved every moment of it.

K just to make sure, sign me up, even though i'm not gonna get far.

Don't worry, I won't either, but it's the experience that counts no?

Even if you don't make it far, you can still play tons of friendlies and ask the top players and placers for tips on how to improve and what you're doing right.

Tournies are the best environment to get better and to learn what you need to in order to get better at the game competitively. It's at tournies you'll see techniques and strategies you never thought of just playing with buddies or training with the same people over and over.
