The following Hacks are banned from the Wii:
In-stage texture Hacks
In-music Hacks
Any hacks that change the gameplay.

DETAILS!!!!
As I said before, the game with the most attendance WILL BECOME THE MAIN EVENT of the next tournament. In the case of a tie, well I haven't figured that out yet...
However, the tournament with the LEAST attendance will be replaced with a different game.
The game that will be added is....:
Soulcalibur 4
Also...
THE EVENT HAS A 48 MAN CAP FOR EACH EVENT!!!!
This is because of the size of the venue, and the amount of time I have it for. I am working on getting a larger, cheaper venue. BUT until then, there is a cap. Yes this means there can be more than 48 people at the tournament, just 48 per tournament.
Also there will be no pools for any $5 tournaments. (Sorry Brawlers.)

Conduct
* 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.
* Keister’s Controller Rule: IF YOU DO NOT OWN a system/controller for the system you want to play on, you must arrange borrowing controllers beforehand with someone that does. Otherwise, YOU MAY NOT ENTER THAT EVENT! In the case of multiple consoles, the “main” console will have precedence over the other. If two players meet, and one has a 360 controller and one has a PS3 controller and the game’s main station is 360, THEN the game will be played on 360 and the ps3 player will have to find a controller. This is all based on available setups. In the case that the main console is not at the tournament (say no 360s for SSF4), or there are low numbers, the T.O. will be able to lend out controllers. (Only PS3 Pads, as I do not have any 360 Controllers or fight sticks.)
In other words, I can supply 2 PS3 controllers for games meant to be played on 360 but are played on PS3 due to lack of setups. This can be fixed if people BRING SETUPS FOR THE GAMES THEY ARE ENTERING!
* 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. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
* Dave's Stupid Rule: No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
* Iggy's Stupid Rule: You may not pause the match yourself. If you absolutely need to pause, it must be done so at the consent of your opponent. The exception to this is at the beginning of a match to check control settings. Then the match is restarted back to the character select screen.
* No show DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is two minutes late he will receive a warning. At 4 minutes late, he will be given a loss for the first game of the set. After six minutes, he will be given a loss of the entire set. There should be no excuse for not being there when your match is called because all the food you need is in the venue for you. Please come talk to me if you have to leave FOR ANY REASON. I do my best to keep the tournament flowing while giving people enough time to rest.
* Color Blind rule: Should a player have a color-based disability, he or she may request in a teams match to have a specific color for their team. This is so characters such as Lucario or Sonic can be granted the blue team so that there is not unnecessary confusion.
Applies mostly to Smash games.
* Wiimotes and Classic Controller users should know to take the batteries out of their controllers after finishing a set; not only will this save battery life, but it prevents accidental intereference and delay for tournament matches. PS3 users need to turn their controllers off via the Home Menu after each match.
* Stalling is banned.
Applies mostly to Smash games.
* Nope's No BS Rule: By participating in this tournament you give the Tournament Operator and their affiliates the right to film, photograph and record your name, nickname, pseudonym, persona, picture, biographical material, voice and/or likeness and to use the same in any manner or media in connection with the Event to broadcast, reproduce, distribute and exhibit such photographs and/or recordings, in any manner whatsoever, by any and all means, media, devices, processes and technology now or hereafter known or devised anywhere in the universe at anytime in perpetuity.
* Seamus McFly's Sportsmanship Rule:
If a losing player ends the match with "No Contest" (pausing and ending the game before the victory screen) after they lose their final stock but before "GAME" is called, that player is subject to consequences ranging from forfeit of that set to disqualification from the competition. Consequences can be avoided by apologizing to the other player for robbing them of a victory screen. Also, Excessive displays of rage over losing matches (shouting, controller throwing) will not be tolerated.
In other words, be respectful to the games and the players.
