The Unity Ruleset
-Version 1.3-

General Gameplay Rules
3 Stocks
8 Minute Time Limit
Items set to "Off" and "None"
All infinites and chain grabs are legal.
Meta Knight's Infinite Cape Glitch and Extended Cape Glitch are banned.
There is a Ledge Grab Limit of 35 for Meta Knight and 50 for all other characters. If a game goes to time and one player goes over the Ledge Grab Limit for their character, they will automatically lose the game. If both players exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then this rule is ignored.
The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites, chain grabs, or uninterruptible moves past 300%, and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.
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.
If the Ledge Grab Limit does not declare one player the winner, the winner will be declared by what the game says in all situations, except for when players are presented with sudden death:
In the event of a match going to time, the winner will be determined by who has less percent (stock difference still takes priority but will be shown in the results screen).
If the match ends with both players dying at the same time (either coincidentally or via suicide move) or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage. For a tie-breaker match, a Ledge Grab Limit of 13 is used for Meta Knight, and 18 for all other characters.

Modified Rules for Doubles
Team Attack set to "On"
Life stealing is allowed.
In the event of a game reaching the time limit, if a single player on a team exceeds their Ledge Grab Limit, that team loses. If one or more players on both teams exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then the Ledge Grab Limit rule is ignored.
In the event of a game going to time and the Ledge Grab Limit can not determine a winner and both teams have an equal amount of combined stocks, then whichever team has a lower combined percent is declared the winner.
If a player is using the character Pokemon Trainer, Lucario, or Sonic, either team may request that team colors be changed to make it easier to tell the difference between team players.
Set Procedure
Player Priority is determined if it can not be agreed on. (See below for details)
Each Team selects one controller port to use for each Player.
Each Team selects one character for each Player. A double blind pick may be called by any player.
The first game is played on a Stage selected from the Starter Stage List either by mutual consent or through the Stage Striking Method. The order of stage striking will be 2-3-1 (Team 1 strikes two stages, followed by Team 2 striking three stages, with Team 1 then striking one of the two remaining stages).
The first match is played.
The team that lost the previous match may opt to re-pick controller ports (with themselves picking first).
The Team that won the previous match may announce one "Stage Ban" if they have not already done so in this set.
The Team that lost the previous match announces the stage for the next match from either the Starter or the Counterpick Stage List. Any Stage named as a "Stage Ban" by the either Team may not be selected. No Stage may be used by a Team that has already won on that Stage in this set.
The Team that won the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
The Team that lost the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
The next match is played.
Repeat steps 6-11 for all proceeding matches.

Determining Player Priority
If there is a dispute in controller port selection or initiating Stage Strike use the following method:
Teams agree to Rock-Paper-Scissors, otherwise it is determined with a coin-flip. The winning Team shall either elect to have first choice in port selection or first choice in Stage Strike. Whichever Team does not receive first choice in Port Selection will be compensated with first choice in Stage Striking.
Note: In Doubles, port selection is ordered 1-2-2-1 fashion (with Team-1 having first choice in controller slot select, Team-2 having both second and third choice, and the final slot going to Team-1).
Stage List


Conduct Rules
BYOC (Bring your own controller): Players are expected to bring their own controller and be prepared for every tournament set.
Pause can be requested off and that request cannot be denied. If one pauses mid-match, the person who initiated the pause loses their current stock. If the pause causes the opponent to lose their stock (Such as interfering with recovery), the person who initiated the pause loses two stocks.
Players who use the Wii Remote must take the batteries out of the Wii Remote when not playing. If the Wii Remote is still synced up to a Wii with the batteries in, you could unintentionally disrupt a match. If problems persist, a DQ may happen.
You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility (including battery issues with a Wii Remote), so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. Both parties need to agree if a match is to be paused or restarted because of these problems.
Intentional forfeiting, match fixing, splitting, and any other forms of bracket manipulation are not allowed and punishable by the TO.
No substitutions are allowed for singles or doubles.
Coaching is allowed only between games, not during. Failure to adhere to this will lead to punishment at the TO's discretion, which could include the removal from the venue.
DQ Rule: Arriving too late for a match will result in a DQ. Player(s) will have 5 minutes to show up before a loss of the first match. 5 more minutes results in a loss of the set. For doubles, both players on a team need to be present in order to play.
The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload said match.
Regarding textures and other game hacks:
Players may request that any texture, stage, or other hacks be disabled during a tournament set. If this is unable to be done, they may switch to a different setup if available.
The BBR-RC recommends players do not use intrusive texture and stage hacks.
Players are not allowed to use any game altering hacks, such as no-tripping or model hacks. If someone is caught setting up a system they brought with such hacks enabled can face punishment at the TO's discretion.
Disrupting your opponent physically or intending to disrupt their play (through something such as screaming in a player's ear) will result in a warning. Repeated action will result in disqualification from the tournament and possibly ejection from the venue. Observers who physically disrupt players are to be dealt with as the Tournament Organiser sees fit. Disqualification is recommended if possible, and ejection from the venue is also a punishment.
•These rules are subject to change leading up to the event date. The Tournament Organizer reserves the right to remove you from the venue at his discretion for any reason.

•The Tournament Organizer and his assistents, and any persons helping run the event may not be held liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged goods during this event. Nor will the Tournament Organizer, the venue, its owners, affiliates, employees, members, sponsors, or volunteers be held liable or responsible for any injury or harm that may befall a person during the course of this event. By entering the venue during the posted date you are displaying your agreement with this policy.

No, they aren't CRTs but the TVs we do use have very small amounts of lag if at all given the games 20 frame buffer

There are two types of TV's at the tournament the smaller ones which you can use a component cable which makes it lag free and amazing and the bigger ones which have a small amount of lag. I believe there are 6 tv's with two big ones and 4 smaller but better ones. So when the matches get serious they can make the big TVs for free play and just stick to the 4 smaller ones. That is what we did last time and the small TV was completely lag free.

Well seeing as there is room for more tv's in the topic, does that mean we'd be allowed to bring our own tvs to play on?

Because that way we'll have some lag-free tvs for important matches, and the tourney will actually get done reasonably, because 4 tvs will take us two days, not trying to be rude.

obviously you're not a golfer.




Anyway, pools should really start earlier, probably 2. I got the impression more Phoenix people wanted to come this time so it may wind up running longer than the last Tucson one.

@Jar'd We got home for 1 more tops. We had no problem with lag on the exact same TVs last tourney

@DerpDaBerp Pools are starting then cuz people have expressed interest in coming from Phoenix (like Anjila) who can't get there earlier. If they tell me they won't be showing than 2 it is for pools. I'll be more of an *** when it comes to making people play their matches. Last tourney had a lot of free time to just mess around, we can cut that down if time constraints pop up

The top 8 or so were actually played on a TV that was brought by participants (K9 and I forget the other persons name >_<), so yeah, the Katana guys are pretty lax about bringing your own equipment, as long as there's room for it.

About the TVs, The small ones they have are freaking awesome with the component cables. Bring CRTs if you want I'm sure they won't mind. Lots of TVs means we can get lots going at the same time. Melee would be legit but I think the main concern would be space...

More people just = more hype

There really shouldn't be a set-up for anything other than brawl (from the people entering) until most of the MAIN bracket is complete. Melee and BB were fun last time, but they take up time and necessary set-ups.


We should really try and avoid having to use the bigger tv's if we can since it's sounding like those ones lag. I'm really trying to not sound like a little bitch right now, but I won't play on a lagging TV.


Also, as nice as Amateur Pools is, it kinda takes up time/set-ups since you plan on doing it during main bracket. Just something to think about. It seems kinda pointless to me...


I will bring my set-up as usual. Ext.Cord+TV+Wii+Brawl


I might also bring my PS3 for after the tourney, I'll probably bring BlazBlue, SSF4AE, Marvel and MK9. I also have TvC now.

Yeah we didn't use the big TVs but for friendlies cuz of the lag. It's why I made sure the locations TVs were good on lag when I found the location. Also the way amateur pools is for me is different than what people are probably thinking, I'll just take it off the time listing

I used to love TvC, but only because it had Alex and Frank West and some other cool characters I like. I haven't played it in forever.

Yoshiken and I actually won't be showing up for this tournament, so you can change the time back to 2:00 if everyone else is cool with it.

Tucson will win this one and we should do a crew battle, if we have enough time. The crew battle should be Phoenix vs. Tucson.

No it would be best to do a crew battle now, because the losing team can come back at APRD and have a chance again. dang im the smartest black guy in the world

why all the crew battles? we just did one last tourney.


you guys seriously will kill any hype of future crew battles if we do them often. I think we should do ONE per season, probably on the AZPRD tourneys.

I am just trying to set up some rivalry between Phoenix and Tucson. Last tourney we just split the room in half and battled it out which took forever and by the end of it people were bored, hot and tired. A good crew battle would be a 4v4 or 5v5 and have a **** ton of hype going on.
