We’re doing this tournament in a different building, Overcash, to try to accomodate for space. Still keeping the alternations on Brawl’s rulesets. The penathlon will return allowing a good mix of classic and obscure fighters in a team setup.
**Saturday, October 18th **- 1PM to 9PM. The main events will be our Brawl No Item tournament and our Soul Calibur IV tournament. Spectators will get in free. Entrants will pay $5 for the host/cover charge while the actual tournament entry fee will be $10 for each. The pentathlon will be $5 for all five games. The Brawl Cage matches tournament entry fee is $2. Full rules and division of winnings outlined below. We will also be selling $1 tickets for our prize drawings where the winners will be able to pick from various gift cards. Tournament entrants get a ticket for the prize drawings free.

Brawl No Item tournament - $10
We’ll be doing things a bit more traditionally than we did with our item tournament so I’m copying this from a few other rulesets with a few edits.
- Matches will be Three Stock, 7 minute time limit.
- Double Elimination. All matches will be 2/3, with all finals being 3/5.
- Random seeding will be done by location. This is due to us not having our own ranking charts for skill levels.
- First match is a blind pick, where the competitors will tell their character to a judge (including special forms like Zero Suit Samus or selecting a specific Pokemon Trainer starter) then proceed. The stage will be random selected from the list of Neutral stages. The loser of the first match will then pick the next stage from the list of Neutral or Counterpick stages, then the winner may choose his character, the loser will choose his character, and the match will begin. The same will happen for the third match, if necessary.
- The same stage can not be played twice in a row in a single set unless by random select.
- Players who are late for their match will lose a stock for each pasing minute they are not present. If/when they show up, they will have to play the full match time period with the reduced stock.
- Stalling underneath a stage is an automatic disqualification for that match.
- Prize winning percentages will be 70/20/10 (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Neutral:
- Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi’s Story, Smashville, Lylat Cruise
Stages for Counterpick:
- Delfino Plaza, Distant Planet, Luigi’s Mansion, Bridge of Eldin, Frigate Orpheon, Battleship Halberd, Castle Siege, Corneria, Rainbow Cruise, Green Greens, Brinstar, Pokemon Stadium 1, Yoshi’s Island (melee)
NOTE: You may play any banned stage as long as both you and your opponent agree and ask a judge. If both agree, there will be no complaints.
Banned Stages:
- Hanenbow, Pictochat, Green Hill Zone, Mario Circuit, Skyworld, Norfair, Mushroomy Kingdom, Rumble Falls, Pokemon Stadium 2, Spear Pillar, Port Town: Aero Dive, Shadow Moses Island, 75m, Mario Bros Arcade, The Summit, Flatzone 2, WarioWare Inc, New Pork City, Hyrule, Big Blue, Onett
Brawl Cage Match tournament - $2
This is our third cage match event. The others went well, despite not having a lot of entrants. A good point was brought up about Heavy Gravity being a huge setback for heavy characters so we may opt not to use it. Then again, without it some characters have huge runaway abilities. Ice Climbers might get an HP nerf to compensate for the partner having full HP.
- Heavy Gravity will be on. (tenative)
- Damage set to 1.2%
- Matches will be 200HP, Four minute time limit. The one with the most HP at time limit wins.
*No items. - Double Elimination. All matches will be 2/3, with all finals being 3/5.
- First match is a blind pick, where the competitors will tell their character to a judge (including special forms like Zero Suit Samus or selecting a specific Pokemon Trainer starter) then proceed. The stage will be random selected from the Cage match stages (Shadow Moses Island + created stages). The loser of the first match will then pick the next stage from the list of Cage match stages or choose a different character, while the winner keeps their character. The same will happen for the third match, if necessary.
- Prize winning percentages will be 70/20/10 (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
