Hey everyone. It’s your neighborhood smasher Wes. I would like to announce to everyone that a few members from Deadly Alliance got together and formed a Not-for-Profit Organization called "S.O.S Gamers". S.O.S Gamers consists of 5 members that came from Deadly Alliance (Kubuu, Wes, Rafa, Compton and Cavaisa).
What we do is host video gaming charity events such as this one that I’m about to present to you and the proceeds from the event go to the charitable cause of our selection. For this event, we have selected the March of Dimes Foundation. The March of Dimes Foundation is an organization dedicated to improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. We will do our best to inform everyone about their mission and the success that their organization has experienced.
It is our goal to make this event unlike any other video gaming event any of you have ever attended. So now, I present to everyone the details of the event:

Rules
General Rules
1. Players may not use a controller that has been modified in such a way that it alters their Character’s abilities and/or in-game mechanics. Players may not use a controller that has been modified to include a Turbo button. Players are allowed to make cosmetic changes to their controller, however, Major League Gaming reserves the right to deny the use of any controller suspected of providing an unfair competitive advantage.
2. Players may not attach a headset to the Wii or TV.
3. Players/Teams who break General Rules #1-3 will be given a Warning. Each subsequent Warning that a Player/Team receives will result in a Forfeit of the Game (See Gameplay #3).
4. Players may not intentionally manipulate a button, trigger, bumper, D-Pad, and/or joystick on a teammate’s controller while a Game is in progress. Breaking this rule will result in a Forfeit of the Game.
5. In the case of a Wii/TV malfunction, the Game will be restarted from the beginning.
6. No Warm-Up Games may be played outside of scheduled Warm-Up periods.
7. During scheduled Warm-Up periods, all Games must be played with three Stock or less.
8. During scheduled Warm-Up periods, all Players must get up at the end of a Game and allow any Players, who have been waiting, to take their seat.
9. During Saturday and Sunday’s scheduled Warm-Up periods, Players/Teams who haven’t been eliminated from the Event have priority over other Players/Teams regarding the use of open Stations.
10. Players who break General Rules #8-11 may be given a Foul (See Pro Circuit Conduct Rules).
11. If a Player/Team fails to report to their Station within 5 minutes of their Match’s announcement, they will Forfeit the 1st Game. 10 minutes after the announcement, a Player/Team will Forfeit the Best of 3 Game Match or the 2nd Game of the Best of 5 Game Match. 15 minutes after the announcement, a Player/Team will Forfeit the Best of 5 of the Game Match. If both Players/Teams Forfeit the Match, the higher seeded Player/Team will win the Match.
12. Players/Teams may Forfeit a Game or Match if a Player leaves their Station without their Referee’s permission, or is otherwise unable to play. Referees may set a time limit for a Player who has requested that they be allowed to leave their Station, however, Referees may also deny a Player’s request to leave their Station. Players/Teams may Forfeit a Game or Match if a Player hasn’t returned by the end of their Referee’s set time limit.

Suicide Rules:
If kirby,ganon,wario,ddd are able to end a match in a tie due to their
suicide moves, the sudden death is ignored, and the players play 1 stock
matches. If bowser suicides someone off the stage, the match is awarded to
bowser (due to conflicting controller port issues).
The Mages DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is two minutes
late he will receive a warning. At 4 minutes late, he will be given a loss
for the first game of the set. After six minutes, he will be given a loss of
the entire set.
Color Blind rule: Should a player have a color-based disability, he or she
may request in a teams match to have a specific color for their team. This is
so characters such as Lucario or Sonic can be granted the blue team so that
there is not unnecessary confusion.
Wiimotes and Classic Controller users should know to take the batteries out
of their controllers after finishing a set; not only will this save battery
life, but it prevents accidental interference and delay for tournament
matches (please, if at all possible, avoid using these during the
tournament).
