Hi Everyone,

Since Melee turnout is a bit low I'm going to make Melee a one day tournament. Entry Fee and Venue Fee for Melee will be $5 each. Unfortunately, I cannot offer a discount for bringing a setup this time around. At the door registration will take place at the door from 9:00AM - 12:00PM. Depending on entrants we can run doubles/singles pools.

Post if you're interested so I can plan out space/layout.

  • Matches that time out will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, the match should be replayed in full. Sudden Death is not to be played, and will not count.
Additional Rules for Teams Play
  • Team Attack: ON.
  • Life Stealing is allowed.
  • If the game is paused accidentally while attempting to steal a life, the opposing team may deem that life forfeit. Wait until the announcer has finished saying defeated before pressing start, or turn pause off prior to beginning the match.
How to Play a Set
  1. Players select their characters. Either player may elect to Double Blind.
  2. Use Stage Striking* to determine the first stage.
  3. The players play the first match of the set.
    Prior to starting this match, either player may elect to Contest Port Priority or Neutral Start.
    ​
  4. Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage/stages (if applicable).
  5. The losing player of the preceding match picks a stage for the next match.
  6. The winning player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
  7. The losing player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
  8. The losing player of the preceding match gets first pick of port. Either player may elect for a Neutral Start, but RPS will not be played to determine first pick.
  9. The next match is played.
  10. Repeat Steps 4 through 9 for all subsequent matches until the set is complete.
***Term Definitions***
  • Double Blind: Either player may request that a double blind selection occur. In this situation, a 3rd party should be told, in secret, each of player’s choices for the first round. Both players are to then select their first round character, with the 3rd party validating that the character selected is the same as their word.
  • Contest Port Priority: If an agreement cannot be made as to who gets what port, the players may enact a best of 1 game of Rock Paper Scissors. Winner gets their port selection, loser selects any other port.
  • Neutral Start: Either player may enact this rule. Once enacted, both players may only use one of the two “Neutral Starting Positions”. A best of one game of Rock Paper Scissors may be used to determine who gets the higher port. If one player elects to Contest Port Priority and the other elects to Neutral Start, Neutral Start takes priority.
    Standard DSR: A player/team may not counterpick to a stage they have won on.
  • DSR Modified: A player/team may not counterpick to the stage they last won on.
  • Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. This rule takes priority over DSR.
  • Forced Character Selection: The losing player once had the option to select Random Stage as their counterpick and remove the option to change characters from the winner of the previous round. This is no longer legal. If a player wishes to select Random Stage as their counterpick, the winner of the previous round may choose to change their character.
  • Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter/Neutral list until there is one stage remaining.

Thank you for your contribution. However, please don't sell or advertise the sale of your equipment inside of the venue. Someone is paying for booth rental to sell controllers and equipment, and it would break the agreement I have with the merchant if you do this inside of the venue.


Thanks again yall. Venue opens at 9 tomorrow morning.

Hi Everyone,


The venue is opening at about 10:30AM this morning. Registration will start at about 11.


The address is

10000 canoga ave,, Suite C-5, Chatsworth, California

If anybody needs to reach be, you can text me - 818-445-5789, but please do so sparingly as my phone tends to go crazy on tournament days.

Parking is free in the parking lot behind the building. Otherwise, I believe you can also park on the street, but make sure the street signs allow you to.

Please respect the venue. No smoking/drugs inside the venue. Please don't rage (throwing controllers/damage) as i will kick you out. If any damages are done I will be collecting said money from you.

Otherwise, enjoy yourselves.

Happy Holidays!
