Tournament Details
- Tournament organizers: Fig, Krazy4Krash, Linkdude74, PhantomTriforce
- Start date: November 19th, 2014
- Format: Double elimination
-First-round byes have been randomised. However, players who were in a disadvantageous position last tournament have been given priority. - All sets will be best 2 out of 3 games, with the exception of the grand finals, which will be best 3 out of 5 games.
-The player coming from the losers bracket will have to win 2 sets, while the player coming from the winners bracket will only have to win 1 set. - 3 days per round
- The tournament group currently has all necessary friendcodes. Here is the link. There is also a discussion there for placement in an optional Skype group if you would like the assistance in communication.
Rules
- Do not modify the default in-game rules except in the following ways:
-3 stock battle
-Set customisations on
-8 minute stock timer
-Disable items - Equipment is not allowed. You must take all equipment off the moveset(s) you plan to use before you play your matches, as you cannot edit customisations while in a group online.
- In the case of the match timer running out, the player with more stocks wins. If stocks are the same, then the player with less % wins. If % is the same as well, then a 1-stock 3-minute game is played with the same characters and stage as a tie breaker.
- If both players happen to lose their last stock at the exact same time and the game goes to Sudden Death, it is ignored. Instead, play a tie-breaker as described above.
- However, if the game ends in a Sacrificial KO such as with Ganondorf's Flame Choke or Bowser's Flying Slam, and the game goes to Sudden Death, it is ignored and the initiator of the move is considered the winner.
- Dave's Stupid Rule is applied; you cannot counterpick a stage you have already won on during the current set, unless the second player agrees. All Omega stages and Final Destination are tied together for this rule.
Match Procedure
- The first character selection is a blind pick; both players should select a character and moveset without telling the other person.
- The first stage selection will be a random Omega.
- The loser picks the stage out of the following:
-Battlefield
-Yoshi's Island
-Prism Tower
-Final Destination, or any specific Omega stage. Alternatively, the Random Omega option may be selected. - The winner can change characters if desired. They must tell the loser which character he/she will be.
- The loser can change characters if desired. They must tell the winner which character he/she will be.
- The winner chooses their custom moveset, or the default moves if they wish.
- The loser chooses their custom moveset, or the default moves if they wish. They may request to be told what the winner has selected beforehand.
- Both players must pick the same stage as agreed prior.
Other Points
- Either player must post the results in this thread.
-By default, the poster is assumed right, but the opponent has 24 hours to confirm or object. - One of the TOs will update the Challonge bracket.
- If an opponent does not respond for setting up a time for the match for 36 hours, contact one of the TOs. We will attempt to contact the player too; if the player does not respond for another 24 hours, you will win the match by default.
- It is advised to save the replays of your matches, so in the case of a disagreement, they can be reviewed. The maximum length of the matches should be 8 minutes and can always been saved provided there is space in the SD card. As there is currently no official upload or share feature, recording the replay with your phone or camera and sending that footage to us is fine. Please be sure that you are able to see everything clearly at all times.
- Do not overly ledge-stall to run out the timer. If you think your opponent might be doing this, send the replay to the TOs as detailed above.
- If a player is caught cheating or breaking the rules in the winners bracket, he/she will be sent to the losers bracket. If a player is caught cheating or breaking the rules in the losers bracket, he/she will be disqualified.
Cheating qualifies as, but is not limited to:
-"Convincing" the other player in any way to let you win.
-Letting someone else play for you.
-Glitching the game so it becomes unplayable.
