CLASH Tournaments and Bros. Calamity at The Lab are teaming up to bring you our new weekly tournament series!

Every Friday night at The Lab you'll still have your favorite Smash 4 Weekly around, but now rebranded from We Bear B-Airs to SMASH & CLASH! We're ready to bring you one of the best weeklies around the country and raise the level of competition in the Philadelphia area.

Please read all details. Some small details about the event have changed from past iterations of WBB, including a tweaked ruleset, additional prizes, and more!

What separates SMASH & CLASH from other weekly tounaments?

-TWO Livestreams, giving players as much exposure as possible and saved content.
-Singles and Doubles, every week!
-Consistently updated Elo rankings of players
-Great location near a big city with ample parking, located close to some of the best skill throughout the country for Smash 4
-Side events, in the past we've had Brawl, and in the future we'll consider continuing to do this along with adding games like Pokken?

Rules:
-All sets are best 2 out of 3 with the exception of Winners, Losers, and Grand Finals that are best of 5.
-2 stock, 6 minute time for singles. 3 stock, 8 minute time for doubles.
-Items are set to off and none.
-Pause is set to off.
-Customs set to off.
-The results screen is used to determine the winner of a game in all instances, with the exception of when sudden death occurs. If sudden death occurs via timeout, the player who ended with less percent is declared the winner. If sudden death occurs via loss of stocks, a 1 stock 3 minute rematch is played.
-Each player may make one Mii Fighter of each type (Brawler/Gunner/Swordfighter) during a set when they intend to use them. They may only use a system default Mii with any special combination of their preference. The appearance or equipment may not be altered. A player may transfer a Mii that is approved by a TO to the stream setup during downtime (friendlies or advertisements) that may be used during tournament. The Mii must be standard height and weight, and may not be overly distracting. This is to bring additional diversity and personality to the event and stream.
-Players may not play with a gamepad. Players may use any other wireless controller at their own risk, and must properly desync it and remove the batteries after each set, with risk of DQ if this is not done properly. Pro Controllers will only be allowed if they remove their battery pack on their own and have their own charging cable.
-Players must pick a character color similar to their team color in doubles if possible.
-The TOs have the right to make the final calling on any issue or discrepancy.
-All characters are legal (Bayonetta & Corin too)

-Starter Stages: Battlefield, Final Destination, Smashville, Dreamland 64, Town and City
-Counterpick Stages: Duck Hunt, Lylat Cruise, Umbra Clock Tower
Omega Stages may be used instead of Final Destination during counterpicking if the stage has not been banned.

Set Procedure:
-Players may elect to do a double blind pick to select characters.
-Players decide which team will strike first via Rock-Paper-Scissors.
-The 5 starter stages are stricken in a 1-2-2-1 format. The remaining stage is chosen for game 1.
-The previous winner may select to ban a stage from their opponent only if they haven’t yet. The loser then selects any legal stage that hasn’t been banned by their opponent, and they may not select a stage they have already won on. The previous winner then selects their character(s) first. (The stage bans are in place for the entire set, and can not be changed after each loss)

Changed from the previous WBB ruleset:
-More consistent ruling on suicide moves similar to other tournaments
-Kongo Jungle is removed from Doubles
-Your stage bans only apply to their opponent, and you can select a stage you banned unless your opponent bans it too (Doing this for testing to see any potential changes in sets to help keep more stages viable for counterpicking in Best of 5 sets primarily)

We'll be adding more details and cool features about the SMASH & CLASH series in the near future! Tell your friends and come on out to have a great time!!
