Well, I saw this was a month old, so I figured I'd do my best to revive it. This is a literal Copy'n'Paste from Kokirion's sign-up, so credit goes to him and Durion.
Here are the basic rules to start off with:
- 3 stock.
- Items are turned to off and none.
- All non-finals and semi-finals matches are best of three.
- Finals and semi-finals are best of five.
- Any action that prevents the game from continuing results in a forfeiture of the match for the offender.
Gameplay rules:
- Meta Knight's Infinite Dimensional Cape is banned, as it allows for the brawler to be impervious to damage for as long as the brawler can correctly uphold the technique. The technique allows for the brawler to quickly attack to, and if the attack lands, they can rather quickly resume the technique.
- If both players have one life remaining, but the match is ended by a sacrificial KO (only possible by using Ganondorf's Flame Choke or Bowser's Flying Slam), the brawler that initiated the sacrificial KO is the victor, completely ignoring Sudden Death.
- Although this doesn't really matter since we have taken away the time limit, some people may stall so that the other brawler will get bored and quit (however unlikely). Chain grabbing to high amounts of damage, usually around 300%.
Set Format:
1. Both players choose their characters for the first game. A double blind pick may be requested by either player.
2. The winner of the first game will state which stage they ban for the next match. The loser announces the stage that s/he will counter-pick.
- Dave's Stupid Rule is in effect
3. Repeat 2nd step for successive matches.
Stages:
Stages can be divided into 3 seperate categories; Neutral, Counter-pick and Banned. I'll try to explain what classifies stages into each category and which stages are in which categories to.
Neutral stages are the only category of stages that are available for brawling on during the first match of the round. However, several stages are classed as both Neutral and Counter-pick, but we decided to mix them into the neutral stages and counter-picks, removing the category. The points that make a stage a neutral stage are (according to t1mmy from Allisbrawl:
- Averaged sized boundaries. Therefore, the map can't be too big or too small.
- At least of solid floor of appropriate length.
- No vertical walls or solid ceilings (Against my protest ).
- No walk of ledges.
- No screen scrolling.
- No environmental damage.
- No stage elements that disrupt competitive play.
Counter-pick stages are stages that can be chosen by the loser of each the first match and the second matches of the round. From the name Counter-pick you can deduce that it is a category for the loser to try and counter against the opponent and gain the advantage in the next stage to help with the second round (Although Dave's Stupid Rule states that a person can not choose a stage that they have already won on during the same round). As there are so many variations and I don't want to have to find a list that best suites our categories, I won't post any points that classify a stage to a certain category.
Finally, the last classification is Banned. Which is clearly where a stage has been banned due to reasons such as below (Although our list doesn't completely comply with this, as these points are opinion, and we took the stage classifications from SmashWiki, which uses the official Tournament classifications).
- Contains "Walk off edges" (allowing brawlers to grab the opponent and chuck them off easily). E.g. Mario Circuit.
- Has one or more vertical walls. E.g. Shadow Moses Island.
- Excessive screen scrolling or stage transformation. E.g. Rumble Falls.
- Has major environmental damage. E.g. Luigi's Mansion.
- Has a design that encourages camping or stalling. E.g. Temple.
- Contains stage elements disruptive to gameplay. E.g. Norfair.
Not all stages go by these though as the info I am using has been taken from two different sources, so it won't completely work together. So continuing, here is the list of stages and their categories...

So if you would like to join, please post your FC in this thread and I'll add you to the list. The actual tournament itself however will be made in another thread.
As soon as I get my Friend Code for this game, I will post mine. For now, whoever's up for it can add their name and FC. As with Kokirion, I will be allowing only 16 entrants. those that registered for the previous tourney will get precedence in sign-ups. In other words, There will be a spot reserved for them on this list, and unless they don't want to participate, only they will fulfill the slot.
Tournament play will be organized in a standard 16-Player, Ranked Bracket, only Rankings will be given based on Sign-up Order (E.G. I will be Number 1, and I will face the person who signed up last, #16, #2v#15, #3v#14, etc.)
Also, I am thinking about adding a 2v2 Tournament, with 8 Teams. If anyone is interested in that, let me know via PM. I know the rules to that and will make a separate thread if we receive enough interest.
