Well, didn't know about that part. I only know the "O RLY?!" thing because I have a friend who always says that. Which reminds me...

Ok, here are the official rules, it's long so brace yourself.

When: February 26, 2006, at 2:00 p.m
Where: Buffalo, NY, at the convention center.

SSBM Rules

General Rules and Regulations

1. No warm ups. Sorry - too much going on and very little space, I don't care WHO you are - even if you WORK for VGB there will be NO warm ups.

2. If a player or team doesn't show up on time for their match, they will be given a 5 minute grace period before it will go down as a forfeit. This is OUR call - we can extend the time period if we want on the spot in case we know personally someone is on their way.

3. In the case of a GameCube/TV malfunction, the game will be restarted from the beginning, no matter what time it crashed.

4. All decisions made by tournament officials are final. So that means pretty much Me - wakasm - or VGB Mike.

5. Players must conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. Permanent ejection of a player from the tournament is at the staff's discretion.

6. Spectators may not communicate with a player while he or she is competing. Breaking of this rule will result in ejection of the spectator and forfeit of the game. This again is up to us to actually enforce.

7. Any other sign of cheating will also result in forfeit of the game.

Controllers

1. You are responsible for bringing your own controller. You may use ours but considering the size of this tourney - you may want to bring your own.

2. Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are banned. Tournament staff may randomly inspect any controller at their discretion. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.

3. Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to use that controller any longer.

- SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT -
The winning player for this tournament will get the opportunity to get sent to a larger competition (if he/she or so chooses) to represent VGB. This is not a guarantee but I, wakasm, will personally help them enroll the winner in a larger stakes tournament if I can find one and accompany them if they so choose. I will also pay the entry fee.

Tournament Format

This is a SINGLE ROUND - BEST - 2 out of 3 format. This is NOT double elimination like last time.

Tournament Rules

1. Each player will play a best of 3 round match.
2. The Elimination Bracket will be single elimination.
3. The Losers Bracket will have mixed placement to avoid players being eliminated by the same opponent that beat them in the Winner’s Bracket.
4. All matches are best of 3 except for the Final Match (best of 5).
5. Lives will be set at 4 stock with an 8 minute time limit.
6. Ties will be broken by a sudden death with 1 stock life limit.
7. Items will be turned off.

Stages & Character Select

1. The first round stage is either pokemon stadium or fountain of dreams decided by a coin flip - heads is PS and tails is FODS unless both teams can agree on a stage then the first match can be played on any stage they agree upon except one from the banned list below.
2. Possible stage selections - Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Rainbow Cruise, Kirby 64, & Pokemon Stadium.
3. Stages Banned - Hyrule Temple, Fourside, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, and Yoshi's Island 64..
4. Stages not listed on the selection list, that are not banned, are open for counter picks by the losing player.
5. No stage can be used twice in a single match, whether by random select or by picking.
6. Advanced Knock-out - each player may knock out one stage from the from the available counter picks. Both stages are off for the entire match.
7. The loser may choose the next stage or elect to let someone choose for them. Then the winner may change characters, and then the loser may change characters.
8. Double-Blind Pic

damn truncation. Heres the rest.

8. Double-Blind Pick - at the beginning of a match, any player may call for a double-blind pick. This means that all participating players tell a judge their character secretly and are required to use that character for the first game. This is only for the FIRST match - and all picks have to be told to me or Mike before the match starts.

Other Rules & Special Issues

1. Any unnecessary pausing of the game will result in a forfeit of that single game. This time the pause screen will able to be chosen so MAKE sure you do not accidentally press pause or you will forfeit.
2. Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the game or makes it in any way unfinishable are banned and will result in the immediate forfeit of the entire match.
3. Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as droping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. If by using one of these tactics, you have put your character in a place to lose a stock by ending the tactic, a judge may force you to stop the tactic and lose a stock.

Match Format

1. Each player chooses a seat and controller port. If both players want the same controller port, a coin flip will determine the winner of the port. The loser may then choose whichever seat he wants.

2. Players then choose their character and have 30 seconds to do so. If any player does not select their character at the end of 30 seconds or if any player calls for it, a double blind pick will be used. Once a player has placed their coin on a character’s image to select it, they may not change characters - (this is just for guidelines an we do not plan on being super crazy of this)

3. Once characters have been selected the highest player in the highest controller port position may press start to go to the level select screen. Once on the level select screen, each player may choose their stages to knock-out (see Stages & Character Select rule #6) and then either agree on a stage together or the coin toss will ensue. Any arguing over stages will be interrupted by the judges and random stage select will be used.

4. Players play their first match.

5. Once they have returned to the character select screen, the losing player from the previous match must announce their choice for the next level or elect to have the next level selected by someone else. Once the stage selection has been announced, the winning player may choose to change their character. Once the winning player has chosen his character for the next match, the losing player may then choose to change characters. After the stage and characters have been set, the players play their second match.

6. If the winning player wins again, he wins the set and must report the score to a judge. If the losing player from the previous match wins, repeat #5 (above) and play the third match. Winner of the third match must report the score to a judge.

Schedule

Currently because everyone has different schedules - ANY scheduling dificulties has to be told to us - on the forum - AHEAD OF TIME!!!! If you wait until the days to let us know... we cant do anything about it. Last time the whole tournament was held up because peolpe couldnt make it. That is partly why we are trying to hold if over a few days - with the Last day being the most important for anyone who is still in the game.

Prizes - IF we get a Full 64 people.

1st Place - 150 Dollars + 50 Dollars store credit + "Special winners prize" as stated above
2nd place - 50 Dollars store credit
3rd place - 30 Dollars store credit

Last Man Standing Prize - 20 Dollars store credit

Last Man Standing Prize and Rules

After the first round Match Ups - we are going to have what we call a Last Man Standing match. This is more for fun and to encourage p

The absolute last part. Didn't think it was this long.

Last Man Standing Prize and Rules

After the first round Match Ups - we are going to have what we call a Last Man Standing match. This is more for fun and to encourage people to stick around and maybe get 4x's your money back. Each team that loses in the FIRST ROUND only will have the option of participating in a Free For All tournament. All losers will face off in a Free For All 4 way 2 stock match tournament for 20 dollars store credit. If you leave you void your participation and the matches will continue without you. The matches follow the above rules - except the rounds will be fought
on Fountain of Dreams with the final round being final destination.

Good luck!

Occasionally... :P
I know how to auto kill lower level people with Kirby. Stand near the edge of a level that has an edge, then suck them in and jump off. They will come out partway down, but because of your jumping ability you can get back up while they can't.
