Okay everybody! We have a date and we have details! On June 12, TGA will be sponsoring its first Super Smash Brothers Melee tournament! The following thread will be used for registration, details on rules as well as any final questions coming into the final days before the tournament.
Logistics
From the looks of it, the whole store will be dedicated to this tournament. What we do need are controllers, GameCubes, and televisions. If you can supply any of these items, please get in contact with myself or Andy through PM as soon as possible. The entry fee will be $10 for which includes the tournament entry fee plus the usual TGA flat rate. It will be $5 to enter just the tournament, but you must pay-per-play if you want to use any of the other machines.
There is no word on a grand prize as of yet, as soon as we get word from Andy, we will update this thread.
To enter, please post your name and your handle, an example follows:
Bryan Veloso - Syn
You may spread word of this tournament to other forums and to your friends, but PLEASE keep the registrations to this thread as it will be the master list. If there are competitors that wish to enter but are not a member of the forums, they do not have to sign up, but please PM me the names and handles so I can update this thread.
(Big thanks go out to Dipstick and Jamil for their help.) :mouse:
The Rules
The entire tournament is one on one, double elimination. A match is best two out of three games. A single game is to three lives (or six minutes). If a game goes to time, the winner is first determined by the number of lives remaining. If they are equal, then the person who has a lower damage percentage at the end wins (and sudden death is not played). If the damage percentages are equal, then sudden death is used to determine the winner.
All items are to be disabled.
As for stage selection, the following stages shall be available to be randomly chosen: Final Destination, Battlefield, Fountain of Dreams, Kirby 64, Yoshi's Story and Pokemon Stadium. There is also a secondary set of stages that can be picked, but will not come up randomly: Kongo Jungle 64, Corneria, Poke Floats, Rainbow Cruise, and Mute City.
For the first game of a match, characters are freely chosen and the stage is selected randomly. For all games after that, the loser of the previous game can opt to change their character and stage (from the aforementioned lists). However, the same stage can NOT be played twice in any given match. For the finals, "Final Destination" shall be used as the stage.
Again, people can bring their own controllers, but non-stock controllers may or may not be allowed (controllers can not have any auto-fire, slow-motion, or programmable features). No wireless controllers either (interference, another point of failure with the batteries, and a slight security hazard).
The staff and coordinators reserve the right to make any changes to the rules without any prior notice, including the day of the tournament, depending on situations that present themselves.
