Cost:

$5 Venue (more free food and snacks)
$5 Singles
$10 Doubles ($5 per team member)

Time: 12 pm - 11 pm

Location: UCSB. Loma Pelona Center (Near San Rafael and Manzanita)

1. 4 Stocks
2. 8 Minute Time Limit
3. Items set to “Off” and “None”
4. Wobbling / Blizzobbling is legal
5. Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., Ice Climbers’ Freeze Glitch or Mewtwo’s Soul Stunner., 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.
6. Modified Dave’s Stupid Rule: No player can counter pick the stage he or she last won on unless agreed upon by both players.
7. Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are banned. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be disqualified from the tournament with no refund.
8. Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to use that controller any longer. Failure to comply can also result in disqualification.
9. In the event of a match going to time, the winner will be determined by:
o Whoever has more remaining stock left.
o If stocks of both players are the same, the winner will then be determined by whoever has less percent.
o If the match ends with both players dying at the same time or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, an identical rematch of the previous match will be played out. Same characters and same stage.
10. Sets will be best out of 3 games. Loser's Finals, Winner's Finals, and Grand Finals will be best out of 5.


Character/Stage Selection Process
1. Blind Picks character selection.
2. Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter Stage List until only 1 remains, and the players then play the first match on that stage. Players strike stages in 1 2 2 1 order.
3. The first match is played.
4. Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage.
5. The losing player of preceding match picks stage for the next match.
6. The winning player of preceding match picks character.
7. The losing player picks character.
8. The next match is played.
9. Repeat 4-8 for all consecutive matches as necessary until the set is complete.
*Modified Dave’s Stupid Rule: No player can counter pick the stage he or she last won on unless agreed upon by both players.

ill come if norcal comes

i'd be a lot more interested in coming if the stages weren't terribad; even if i go i won't be entering

also what if i don't want your food/snacks? i eat priy healthy so no offense. why isn't the usual "bring a set up = your fee waived" applicable?

hey so i just copy pasted this pretty much from the last sb tourny yesterday

the obvious main difference is venue fee and different building.

the real TO will be Joey (JoeJoe) or Dante if joey doesnt want to do it. ill give them all the details and theyll let you know asap.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. Cruise/Brinstar are not conducive to competitive play AND they're not even part of the ruleset that nationals adopt anymore. It's pretty dumb for them to still be legal and I was pretty annoyed they were still legal at the last SB tournament, despite being banned everywhere else since Genesis

Edit: I could give my reasoning but the argument has been done to death before by a gajillion people and I'm pretty sure the consensus nowadays is they should banned.

so i think norcal is coming down in full force for this.

3 cars filled up so far




ps. nothing wrong with cruise/brinstar/kongo. they all have hazards that are very predictable and easily avoidable. true cp imo. (in teams i mean. not sure if you guys were talking about singles but im too lazy to read)

god why is santa barbara so full of drama

the tournaments are for the people

if the people want **** banned, let them ban it

instead of rehasing arguments to death

we've been in the community forever, we know what's up, they're banned for a reason

nationals have finally gotten it (mostly) right, copy pasta their rules and let it be

The only one making drama is you Shadrach. I'm open to discussing things calmly but yall insist otherwise. I don't really care except in principal. I just hate when rules are changed on a whim instead of for a good reason.

you're such a flake.

nvm saw your post in the oxy thread. I kind of feel the same way to a certain extent but I'm not ready to give up yet. I feel like as long as I can keep making progress, I still have a chance.
