...this is a friendly college tournament guys, so keep in mind that the majority of people here aren't at all used to the tournament circuit. However, that being said, feel free to come here and play to win and destroy anyone in your path.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send me a message or call my cell.

Rules
WARNING! (The following rule set is TENTATIVE until approved by the club leadership, but here's what I submitted to them about what the rules should be based off of what I've seen in other tourneys and our time constraints. [3 hours] )

UPDATE : 04/25/08
************************************************
There is NO ADMISSION FEE for the tourney. Apparently, it's against Brandeis policies. However, under the table money matching is probably still allowed. (I mean, how would they stop you?)

...also, hopefully this WONT occur, but I mean if we have over 30 people, the setup is limited to Time...and we might have a problem making it a DOUBLE elimination, and might have to just make it Single Elimination.

...I'll keep you all updated on this progress.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl Singles Tournament Rules :

This is a Double Elimination tournament : Which means that after you
lose your first match, you enter into a losers bracket, and play
against other people who have lost. If you've lost in the losers
bracket, however, you're out of the tournament. The winner of the
losers bracket plays against the winner of the winners bracket in the
finals. The losers bracket finalist needs to win two sets, however, as
the winners bracket finalist has yet to lose a set.

All matches are best of 3 , except the winner/loser Finals and Finals which will be best 3 out of 5.

Matches are set to 3 stock, 7 minute time limit, no items, no smash balls

-------------

Stage and Character selection : Will us a Reverse Slobs Pick method :

The first game in a set is double-blind, and the stage is random (using the random stages listed in the stage selection section). The following applies to any game in a set played after the first:

The loser of the previous game declares the stage to be used, using any stage that isn't banned. The winner of the previous game then chooses his character. Lastly, the loser of the previous game chooses his character, and the game can start.


Stage Striking: At the beginning of the set, each player may strike one stage from the random list. (It is only banned from the random selection, and can still be counterpicked later in the set)

-> Stages
