Now, for the rules!

  • 1v1 Tournament, Brawl Minus 4.0BC
  • Items are set to Off and None.
  • Stock and Time are set to 4 stock and 8 minutes respectively.
  • Regular sets are best of 3 matches. The semi-finals (winners and losers), finals (winners and losers), and Grand Finals sets will be in best of 5 format.
  • In the Grand Finals, the entrant from the Winner's Bracket has to win one set of best of 5, while the entrant from the Loser's Bracket must win two sets.
  • Blatant stalling is prohibited. What is considered stalling is up to the Tournament Host to determine.
  • Suicide Rule: If a match ends by both remaining players losing their last stock at the same time due to a suicide move (EX: Flame Choke, Galactic Crusher) then the initiator of the suicide move is considered the winner of the match regardless of what the results screen says, and no tiebreaker is played.
  • Blind Picks: the first character selection of a set must be without prior knowledge of the opponent's character selection for both players.
  • Dave's Stupid Rule: No player can counter pick a stage he or she has previously won on unless agreed upon by both players.
  • Gentleman's clause: any stage may be played on so long as both players agree to it, including banned stages. This can be used in tandem with Dave's Stupid Rule (DSR).
  • Timed out matches will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, replay that match with one life and 3 minutes of time, using the same characters on the same stage. Any Sudden Death match is strictly not to be played.
Stages
Round 1: Each player strikes 2 stages, and the last stage remaining is chosen. The strike order is 1-2-2-1. In other words, one person strikes one, the second person strikes twice, and the first strikes last.
Round 2: Counterpick stages can now be selected. The Winner of the last round strikes 3 stages, and the loser of round 1 can choose any remaining stage to play the second match on.

Starters:
  • Battlefield
  • Final Destination
  • Pokemon Stadium 2
  • Smashville
  • Dreamland 64
Counterpicks:
  • Spear Pillar
  • Lavander Town
  • Yoshi's Story (shows up on SSS as Yoshi's Island Melee)
  • Fountain of Dreams
  • Lylat Cruise
  • Halberd
  • Warioware

And the prizes, as usual.

1st place: $50
2nd place: $30
3rd place: $20

Prizes will be distributed via Paypal. If you do not have a Paypal account, we will look into alternative ways to hand you your winnings. If there is an issue, please contact me about it and I will see what can be done. Do not share payment info until requested.

As always, BREAK THE LIMITS into a new season!

Don't know if I am allowed to post here, but since it isn't stopping me, I will.

Can we have (for the next build) the official legal stage list reflect the default stages selected when you start up netplay to save confusion? Thanks

Since this is a tourney feedback thread now I think all of top 8 being Bo5 would be dope, that'd be when in Winners and Losers you have 2 sets a round.
