Brawl Tournament – Registration now open
Mike posted in Events on November 14th, 2008
Our Smash Bros. Brawl tournament is taking place on Wednesday November 19th from 5pm to midnight in the SLC Great Hall. (NOTE: Our article in mathNEWS says it starts at 5am, but even we are not crazy enough to start a tournament that early.) This will be a singles tournament, no teams this time. Sign ups for the tournament are now open, you can find it here: http://uwgamers.org/signup/F08Smash/
If you are going to come out to the tournament, please register as soon as possible. It makes it easier on us, which in turn makes the event run smoother so it is easier for you in the end.
The ruleset for this tournament is what we refer to as a “hardcore” ruleset. The rules are as follows:
- Mandatory $5 entry fee
- Three Stock
- Eight minute time limit for every game
- If time runs out, the winner is the one with the most stock. When the amount of stock is even, the winner is the one with the least percent. Sudden death decides matches where stock and percent are equal.
- All items are off
- First match the stage is random, the remaining matches the loser picks.
- Only stages deemed “neutral stages” can be randomly selected. A larger amount of stages can be selected as counter-picks.
- Best two out of three
- Swiss round robin (lose three times and you’re out) occurs at the beginning to reduce the number of entrants down to 16.
- Double Elimination will occur with the remaining 16 entrants.
- Bring your own controller if possible, the loaner controllers may not be the best quality.
- Glitches that have the potential to stop the match for the entire 8 minutes are not allowed (such as Metaknight’s infinite cape). If you don’t know what those glitches are, don’t worry because they’re banned!
Prizes (all values in Future Shop gift certificates):
- 1st $50
- 2nd $25
- 3rd $10
- 4th $5
