Now that the demo is out, I think this thread is overdue.
The tournament will begin on Sunday afternoon as setups become available. Signups will be most of the day on Sunday.
Entry fee: $10 - singles
Payouts depend on the number of entrants, but we'll shoot for 60:30:10ish.
Doubles on Monday is a possibility, depending on how quickly we finish and where things stand in the rest of the tournament. Melee/Brawl matches are the priority. Let me remind people that if you plan on only playing Project M at Pound, you still need to pay the spectator fee, which is $20 if you buy it online (online pre-reg ends TOMORROW) or $30 at the door.
We will be using the demo of course. These are the characters you may choose from:
Rules:
* 4 stock, 8 minutes. In the (very unlikely) case that we are hard pressed for time and don't have enough setups, early bracket matches may be switched to 3 stock, 6 minutes.
* Sets are best of 3. Finals are best of 5.
* Items set to "off" and "none."
* Either player may call for a Double Blind character selection for the first match.
* Dave's Modified Stupid Rule: A player may not counterpick a stage he has won on during the set.
* One stage ban per player per set.
* Stage strike for the first match of a set, the order of striking determined by Rock Paper Scissors if it can't be agreed upon. Players will strike stages in this order (assuming 7 starter stages): 1 2 2 1 1 2.
* Controller port is determined by Rock Paper Scissors if it can't be agreed upon.
* For doubles, Team Attack is on and life stealing is allowed. Remember that you steal lives by pressing Attack+Special, not Pause.
* Pausing during a match, unless okayed by the other player, will result in the loss of one stock for the pauser.
* If time runs out, the person with the most stock left (or least % if they are equal) wins. If the % is equal as well, play a 1 stock 3 minute match, same characters and stage.
* If the match goes to sudden death due to a suicide move (Ganon's side-B, Kirby/DDD's swallow, holding someone in a grab on a platform as it moves out of the boundaries, etc.), the one who initiated the move wins.
* Handicap set to off.
* Custom controls are allowed, but controllers modified to enhance performance are not. No turbo buttons, etc. However, removing the springs from shoulder buttons or replacing a thumbstick with a different thumbstick are ok.
* Custom music is allowed as long as it's not too distracting, but any textures or vertex hacks outside of the official team color textures are not.
* If you want to use your own SD card, a TO must overwrite the important game files (not music) in order to make sure there are no modifications. If you are caught cheating with modified game files, you will be immediately DQed without refund and banned from future events.
* In the event that the game crashes or the TV/Wii loses power in the middle of a match, that match will be restarted from the beginning with the same characters and stage.
* No excessive stalling (this includes abusing Jiggs' Rising Pound and Mario's Up-B Walljump)
* No coaching during a match. Consulting someone between matches is allowed as long as it doesn't hold up the next match.
* Both players may agree to any rule or stage outside the tournament ruleset.
* If you do not come for your match in a reasonable amount of time, unless you are playing a Melee/Brawl tournament match, you may be DQed.

Questions and comments are welcome. Let me know if you plan on participating (include where you are from) so I can prepare the brackets ahead of time as much as I can.
Some of you may remember that I ran the Brawl+ tourney at the last Pound, and we got over 60 entrants. This will be the first national-level Project M tournament, and I'm confident that we can completely surpass the Brawl+ one!

A TON of other people who haven't expressly said that they're entering (which is the basic problem with a list like this. It's misleadingly small because a hell of a lot more people are going to enter).
Plank, JCaesar and the Imperial Legion, and Strong Bad and the PMBR present:
