Well hello there, I'm Aibou. I've been a part of SWF for a little over a month and have competed (and in some cases, still competing) in a few online tourneys here. So now that the worst of my tourneys are over, I've decided to cook one up myself.
Here's the scoop: This will be a normal, single elimination 1vs1 tourney. However, there is a catch. There is only a specific group of characters and stages to choose from. The theme of the tournament is a Close Combat Brawl. Meaning that there will be no projectiles in this tournament. Just the old, hand to hand (or in some cases, sword to sword or sword to hand) fighting. Cool huh? No? Well then...
Now, here are the basic rules:
-ONLY MEMBERS THAT ARE A SMASH APPRENTICE OR HIGHER CAN JOIN UNLESS I, OR ANOTHER RELIABLE MEMBER VOUCH FOR YOU!
-3 Stock Matches
-8 Minute Timer
-Items set to OFF and NONE
-You must win a 2/3 match in order to move on (3/5 in Finals)
-Meta Knight cannot use his Infinite Cape Glitch (INSTANT DQ!)
-If the match ends in a suicide kill (Bowser/Ganon's Side B), then the attacker wins the game
-Stalling of any kind is not allowed
-Stage Striking is permitted, but not required. If you do not know what Stage Striking is, ask me, though I am assuming everyone does
-Loser of first match chooses the next stage. Communicate through tags if you cannot find a proper place to chat for any reason (Wiinet for example)
-You are allowed as many characters as you wish as long as you choose only those allowed in the tourney
-Notify your opponent if you are switching character (Use tags if necessary)
-If the timer runs out the victor is determined by whomever has more stock. If that is tied, then the winner will be the one with the higher percentage. If that is tied also, then a Sudden Death must occur. Winner of Sudden Death wins the game.
-You may not counterpick a stage you already won on.
-How unplayable lag will be decided by me. Notify me if this happens and I will flip a coin.
-NO JOHNS!
-HAVE FUN!
*If there are any standard rules I may have missed, please contact me*
The only characters that are allowed are characters without a projectile (Bowser's Flame Breath doesn't count due to the fact that you can't sit in a corner and shoot it at your opponent all day):
Those are the allowed characters. Now for stages. Only stages without any hazards or places to camp (like water) at all are allowed:
Very specific isn't it? Well that's the point. There will be no unfairness about this tournament (the first person to complain about MK will get a Lightning Kick to the face ). No complaints about projectiles or hazardous stages. There will be no: "I couldn't get past this projectile", or, "The stage messed me up" blah blah blah. The characters I picked have no true projectiles. The stages I picked have no true hazards. So no complaints.
However, if anyone does spot any legitimate hazards with the stages I've chosen and is capable of providing a strong argument as to why it shouldn't be, then by all means speak up and I will remove it.
Also, I will personally be checking everyone's VMs to see who is responsible and who is not. So I would suggest everyone turn their VM wall ON and only communicate that way so I may see it. If both players are equally responsible and still have not completed their match by the deadline, then I will be forced to flip a coin.
Deadline for the first match will be determined once the tournament fills up. 16 players is the minimum I will take. Maximum of 32 (like it will get that far...)

HAPPY BRAWLING!
