So it's been what? nearly 6 months? Guess we're a bit overdue.
For anyone new to brawl, Polybrawl is a tournament run out of polytechnic university down in brooklyn. This tournament as always, is run by me and my friends who make up the small crew polytek
Note: As always, the rules are debatable and we can always discuss them. If you feel a rule to be incorrect or questionable, post in the thread.
Schedule
NOTE: As always, the schedule must be strictly followed. Keep in mind that unless you speak to either me, or one of my staff before leaving the premises or doing anything that will delay you for more then a few minutes, you WILL be subject to mage's DQ rule, and you WILL be disqualified if you disappear for long lengths of time. If you need to do something, tell the staff first. Also, while in the smash community it is generally regarded that 'starts at 11 means starts at 12, and starts at 2 means starts at 3' the venue has become more strict as to allowing events to run on past campus hours, so we will start each event on time if possible, and 15-30 min late at the most.

RULE SET

* 3 Stock
* 8 Minute Time Limit
* All items off, including smashball
* No stalling or running away to purposely run out the time limit (running out minimal time is one thing, multiple minutes is just ridiculous)
* 40 LGL, if the match result is a timeout, and one of the players grabbed the ledge more then 40 times, the match will be considered a loss for the player who did so.
* If you need to add your name to change your controls, please remember to do so, and do it quickly. You cannot quit in the middle of a match if you realize your controls are wrong.
* Controller port will be decided either by playing rock paper scissors, G&W numbers, or flipping a coin. whatever floats your boat. In teams, the team that wins the game for port priority will choose one port first, then the opponents will choose their ports, and the teammate of the person who choose their port first will choose last.

2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure

If the player who was swallowed is shown as winning the match (in the instance the broke out right before they died which some people might not notice), then they win.
Doubles
Same standard rules and stages as singles.

Banned Stages:
*Everything Else
Mages DQ Rules :

In the event of a TIE at the end of the time limit, the player with the most stocks wins. If both players have one stock then it is decided by percentage. If both players are withing 50% of each other on the same stock, then sudden death will be quitted, and the players will set stocks to 1 and time limite to 3 minutes, and play the match with the same stage.
Each Round is best of three matches; Grand/Losers/Winners Finals are best of five matches*
