2nd Tournament of the season, after this tournament I will do a mid season break and host a doubles tourney. More information would be posted closer to the tournament.
Hey hows it going everyone Dusk here with some exciting news. I am glad to officially announce a bi/weekly tournament for Minus. One issue I have with this games competitive seen is that we don't really get to see many tournaments. To counteract this I decided to make my own set of tournaments that would incorporate a few ideas by competitive members of the community. One thing I want to do is add a seasonal stage list to add variety. Also seeding, I don't think there ever has been a Minus tournament with seeding so we might as well start somewhere. Another thing I want to mention is that many of these matches may not be streamed unless I can find someone who will dedicate the stream to this or if I decide to stream that day. I will do my best to at least attempt to stream the "finals" for each tournament, although I cannot promise I will nor can I promise there will be commentary. If you are willing to stream it completely please let me know and we will work something out.
Starters:
Battlefield
Final Destination
Pokemon Stadium 1*
Smashville
Dreamland 64

Counter-picks:
Metal Cavern*
Lavender Town
Yoshi's Story (shows up on SSS as Yoshi's Island Melee)
Fountain of Dreams
Warioware

*Replaced Pokemon Stadium 2 with Pokemon Stadium 1. Replaced Spear Pillar with Metal Cavern.
**Removed Lylat and Halberd

The amount of points you would earn to determine your placement for next tournament. The points you obtain will reset every season as stages will transition. For your first entry, I will randomize your seeding if you have not entered a previous tournament or if you didn't place well in a previous tournament. After that you will earn your seeding and you will lose 10 points if you miss a tournament.
