3GOD Presents: Boost Your Power Ranking - 12/27 - Starkville, MS

Date: 12/27/2006
Time: 11:00 AMish - 10:00 PMish (the first tournament will be Low Tier starting as close to 12 noon as possible, followed by doubles and then singles)
Location: Comfort Suites, 801 Russell St., Starkville, MS 39759
Contact #: 662-418-1495

Note about directions: I put the directions in Mapquest, and it gives a wrong turn at the very end. For instance, for those coming from the Tupelo area (or through Tupelo from Memphis), it says to make a left turn onto Russell street. But in fact, from that direction, the hotel is on the right. It should not be a major issue since it is visible from the road, but I wanted to make people aware that Mapquest makes a wrong turn at the very end of the directions.

Entry Fees:

$15 singles entry fee
$20 per team doubles
$5 Low-Tier tournament

The room is $100 for the day, which I am gonna pay out of my own pocket...I will have a little bucket for donations for room expenses for anyone feeling generous! Just consider it a Christmas present to the smash community!

Additional Notes:

Tourney > Money > Friendly...if someone needs a TV for a tourney match, let them have it...I am bringing a 13" TV that I think might be best set aside as a friendlies/money match TV.

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.

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.

Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the match or makes it in any way unfinishable are banned. Using them will result in the immediate forfeit of the match.

Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned.

^some of these are no longer coming, and some extras are - just come if you can please!

I'm interested, and I'm sure my crew is too.

I am too, and where I drive, the Run7 drives :bigthumbu

Yea, I'm interested in this as well. As long as Lance is, then I can be there as well.

Woot, another Run7/DML roadtrip possibility?

ohmyfux i hate smash.

As Nite and Lance said, I am down for this as well, as I am sure others in our crew might be. Just keep us updated.

I love JC. My favorite teddy bear in the mid-south.

I miss hearing "GOOD TRICK!" or some screaming in the middle of a match.

It's a good thing we have Iori for that, though it's not the same.

Count me in as well. Christmas break = Smash time!

if it happens i'll come.

i'd love a good tourney . MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Yeah, I'm curious about the status of this. Me want road trip wif fwends

Sorry I haven't posted an update in a while...I am in the middle of negotiating some prices with the hotels around here.

I will try to get something set up for sure this afternoon and post here when I know...looks like it will likely happen because it seems like the attendance will be pretty decent for a MS tourney!

The tournament is a go! Please begin preregistering with setups, people, etc. I will update the first post with the details.

ps Wouldn't it be cool to see the Lewis and Clark Expedition in a doubles finals with Chicken and Dressing?

Woo! We'll try out best to be there, and if we do come we'll bring 2 tvs and 2 cubes probably.

If I'm off of work, I'll go.

pre-reg me and nite at least since no one else in the crew is sure.

When you post the rules can you post the levels that are allowed and the ones that will be on random?

lol, that would be fun. I wonder if JC and Scrib could still make it to the finals after not playing for so long... I guess we'll have to see, I hope they make it!

You can count me in. I'll ask my other friends if they wanna go.

Ill look into this. Hopefully I can go

I think JC and Scrib probably could make it to finals. I heard that they have been playing more lately.

If Lance comes, I'll come.

If anyone is going to be interested in staying the night at the hotel...let me know. The lady said that she could offer a discount maybe.

ps - we'll need a couple of people to bring some extra cubes since we have a couple of extra TVs

We might want to stay in the hotel. It depends on how many people come with us and how much the hotel costs are. Lance, Chad, Myztek, Spaceballs, and myself shared a room when we went to START smashing. That's one thing that I like about staying in the hotel because we don't have to go anywhere but downstairs when we wake up. I'll see what Lance and the rest say.

I guess from your post that you are referring to staying the night of the 26th and waking up to play on the 27th? Then you'd go on home after the tournament?

This is like a 3 hour drive for me. I would like to go, but I don't know if my wallet will let me.

Yea, staying on the 26th, then just waking up and walking out to the room that the tourney is being held and play. Then we would go home after the tournament. That's what we did last time and it was awesome.

What hotel is it at? (Just curious)

Not sure if I'll be able to make this with me having to work. We'll see

gg Zane

.... i completely saw the address but not the big title in front.

Note to self: Don't ask questions after just waking up.

i can bring a cube and a surge protector (power strip/whatever you wish to call it)

my friend should be able to come with ^_^, btw, what's the order of the tourneys? >_> is low tier after everything or before? i know earlier someone said it might be done as warm up, but i dunno if that was the final verdict or not...

Maybe. Maybe.

I like the idea of low tier :D

edit- especially it being first (warmupsies)

@chamberlin - I hope you can make it - it would be good to have some more out of state people show up!

@Zane - Come please FTW!

@Cursed Yoma - I'll add your friend to the prereg and your equipment as well...I'm still kind of debating about the order of the events.

@McCloud - *does a Jedi mind trick* You WILL come to the tournament. *finishes waving hand*

@Chad - Yeah I like the idea of Low Tier taking place first too! That's probably what I will do.

What do you guys think about this?

Low Tier registration 11:00 AM - 11:45 along with people showing up and setting up etc.
Low Tier starting at 12:00 noon SHARP!
Doubles registration for about 20-30 minutes after Low Tier is over (hopefully about 2:00)...singles after that.

Remember to be flexable with those times. If you know not many more will show up, start. Registration can usually be cut short when you realize noone else is coming.

Yeah I will be flexible with the doubles and singles, but if we are going to do Low Tier first, we have to start at a set time...I have been to a tournament though where people didn't start a tournament until almost 2 hours after it was supposed to start...I won't have that happening at this one if I can help it.

Also, I figure people won't be too upset if they are late for a Low Tier tournament and miss out.

ps - Handorin I hope your parents will remember that you talk to them about this! I want you to come!

Maybe I can bum a ride with you to this one, Hand?

I don't know about low tiers being first. I do like the idea of it being first so we can warm up, but low tiers usually take a while and I'd be afraid that we wouldn't have enough time. We'll see though.

You think it will take more than a couple of hours for the Low Tier? I was thinking it would probably only be like a 16 man bracket for low tier, but I might be wrong - I really don't know how much interest it would have.

Also, I've posted a few rules now - pretty standard stuff except for a few stages...if you guys really have other preferences, I will certainly listen and consider.

Well, a lot of people don't play low tiers, so they aren't the best with those characters, therefore the matches might take long because the majority of the people don't know how to play low tiers. I can play with anyone and so can Chad, so our matches are never long. I guess we could clear the bracket for you. lol. It won't take too long as long as we are strict and consistently tell people to play their matches. Low tiers first seems fine. They are fun and at least we get a warm up.

rofflez... Onett banned... a conspiracy against me
