Tournament Information and Rules

• Show up to your match on time, do not be late!
• Attend all personal needs before the tournament has begun.
• Pick up after your yourself! Don't leave trash on the tables, throw it away.

• 3 Stock

• 8 minute timer

• No items

• All sets with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above should be played out for any "finals" matches)

• In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Game and Watch Hammers

• No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.

• In team matches, the ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins the RPS will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the RPS winner will get the last port.

• If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.

• Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

No show DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is three minutes late he will receive a warning. At five minutes late, he will be given a loss for the first game of the set. After ten 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.

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.

• 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 interference and delay for tournament matches.

• Stalling is banned.
-Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while doing an infinite grab endlessly against a wall is. Any infinite chain grabs must end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

• 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.

•Listen to your Tournament Organizer and his helpers!

Bolt, please consider making teams entry $5 per person instead of $10. I think that would really bolster the amount of team entries. If not, I might just bring a set up and play friendlies. (assuming bringing a set up means getting a discount, it isn't listed in the OP).

Honestly I think it would be the other way around, Karcist.

The winner already has to take half the winnings in teams (1st gets 60%, so basically winner gets 30% each). Take that and cut it in half again, and well, even with 20 teams, 1st place get 50 bucks. More people like doubles anyways

I'd say singles is the one that needs to be 5, but not for this tournament. There is a 3 week break basically between events.

Who's all coming with you, could use the names to add to the attendance list.

Sorry no-can-do. I'm not in charge of pricing as far as Game-Haven/Gamepad events go. Plus I don't think people want to pay a $10 venue fee and only enter $5 tourney. If your gonna pay big, mind as well win big.

As far as setups go, I'm sure there will be a discount for people that bring setups, but it wasn't discussed when I spoke with Sage about it this time around. I'm pretty sure first 3 to bring a setup gets a discount.

Tant, you mind walking around at some point during the tournament and doing interviews again like we did for Mythic? I think it would be a good addition for some interviews and get peoples opinions on what they think is going to happen for the 2011 Brawl year.
