IMPORTANT: When arriving on campus, if you are confronted by security please explain to them you are going to the Video Game Tournament hosted by the Film Interest Floor. The reason is they don't want visitors attending D-Day events occurring at the same time that are UR students only. If you get any trouble with them just call me at 317-753-5476 and I'll talk to them. You shouldn't have any problems though.
Rochester Brawl!
A lot of people really loved the tournament last time, and thus by popular demand I will be holding another one. Aren't I nice? So prepare your wiimotes, nunchucks, classic controllers, gamecube controllers, and dreamcast controllers (lol) for BRAWL!

Other Rules:
You will disqualified if you use modded controllers or the programmable functions on third-party controllers (like rapid-fire).
Of course, you cannot use glitches or stalling to either disable your opponent or indefinitely suspend match play. Doing so can lead to match forfeiture or tournament disqualification. This includes things like the Falco-laser-lock, don't do crap like this.
In an effort to prevent bracket manipulation and to preserve the spirit of the tournament, the following rule is in effect. Matches or entire sets may not, under any circumstances, be voluntarily forfeit by any player for any reason. Match or set forfeiture occurs upon the discovery of a broken rule. Absence from a match or set or voluntary forfeiture will result in total disqualification. Make sure you have a way of being contacted if you happen to be absent from your set when the time to play comes. You can also notify tournament staff if you will be running late beforehand or at any time during the tournament.
Coaching is allowed between matches, but no mid-match instruction may occur. Talking, sneering, and giggling from coaches is allowed, but coaches can be silenced at the request of any player currently engaged in a set.
Trash talking IS ENCOURAGED. No fighting, no rough stuff, no overly abusive language or yelling...you know the deal. Be nice, and try to be good about when you lose because (almost) everyone is guaranteed to lose at least once, so just be good about it.
BYOC (Bring your own controller) kthx.
Other Notes:
The ruleset IS NOT open to change.
Bringing TVs, Wiis, copies of the game, and my power strip would be a great help. Please bring any of these items if you can, preferably my power strip. If you do, please be sure to mark them in some way, shape, or form so that they can be identified as your own.
I'll be hoping to get plenty of good food for all of you again. Provided you promise to bring back my power strip and not break my Wii this time.
There will be match recording going on as well! Expect many great battles on youtube (there are 56 videos from the last tournament up at http://youtube.com/user/XiiviiX ).
Tell all your friends! :D
