Depending on interest and the number of people in general, we may either have a $5-per-person Doubles tournament, or a Draft Doubles, where the lowest-ranked Singles players get to choose their partners first among the other players entered.
General Gameplay Rules
3 Stocks
8 Minute Time Limit
Items set to "Off" and "None"
Pause set to "Off"
Meta Knight is banned in both Singles and Doubles (optional until January 9th, 2012, after which is mandatory)
All infinites and chain grabs are legal.
There is a 50 Ledge Grab Limit for all characters. If a game goes to time and one player goes over the Ledge Grab Limit for their character, they will automatically lose the game. If both players exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then this rule is ignored.
The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites, chain grabs, or uninterruptible moves past 300%, and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.
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.
If the Ledge Grab Limit does not declare one player the winner, the winner will be declared by what the game says in all situations, except for when players are presented with sudden death:
In the event of a match going to time, the winner will be determined by who has less percent (stock difference still takes priority but will be shown in the results screen).
If the match ends with both players dying at the same time (either coincidentally or via suicide move) or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage. For a tie-breaker match, a Ledge Grab Limit of 18 is used for all characters.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (360) - Starts at 5PM
Free-for-all tournament.
