Hey I posted a thread up on Smashboards about Evo East:
People are wondering about the rule set and how the tournament will be run. I think we should get that up ASAP.
http://www.evo2k.com/playerGuide/gamerules.php
Scroll to the bottom, if anything changes it’ll change there (I hope).
Ok I think somethings need to change. I was initially told that 6 min rules only applied to Evo South because of time constrait. The rest of the Smash community was hoping for this tournament to be run by the standard rules (MLG rule set) which are:
Super Smash Brothers Melee
Open Competitions
- The Open Singles competition will start with Pool Play. All players with rank points will be separated into the pools. All remaining players will be randomly separated into the pools. The top 2 players from each pool will advance to the Championship Singles bracket.
- The Open Doubles competition will consist of Pool Play. All teams with rank points will be separated into the pools. All remaining teams will be randomly separated into the pools. The top 2 players from each pool will advance to the Championship Doubles bracket.
- Each player/team will play 2 games against all other players/teams in their pool. Scores will be recorded and used to rank players for the Elimination Bracket. Any ties for advancing positions will be broken by a single tiebreaker game.
- For each game of a pool play match, the stage will be selected at random from the list of Random Select stages. Each player can eliminate 1 stage from the list of possibilities.
- Lives will be set at 4 stock with an 8 minute time limit.
- Ties will be broken by stock left and then by percentage of health. Sudden death will be played if both the stock and percentage are tied at the end of the time limit.
- Items will be turned off.
Championship Competitions
- The first two rounds of the Championship Singles and Doubles brackets will be best of 3 games series, double elimination brackets. All rounds thereafter will be best of 5 game series.
- Players will be seeded for the bracket based first on their pool play performance. Ties will be their pool bracket seed.
- Lives will be set at 4 stock with an 8 minute time limit.
- Ties will be broken by stock left and then by percentage of health. Sudden death will be played if both the stock and percentage are tied at the end of the time limit.
- Items will be turned off.
Stage & Character Selection
- The higher seed has first choice for their seat(s) and controller port(s). The higher seeded team has first choice for their team color. Teams must sit together on one side or the other. If players/teams meet for a 2nd time in the Championship Bracket, the winner of the 1st series will have seat and controller choice.
- The stage for Game 1 will be selected at random unless both players/teams can agree on one.
- Singles random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi’s Story, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium
- Doubles random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi’s Story, Rainbow Cruise, Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium, DK64
- Stages not listed on the random select list that are not banned are open for counter picks by the losing player.
- Stages banned for Singles Only: Great Bay and Mushroom Kingdom 2
- Stages banned for Doubles Only: Fountain of Dreams and Mute City
- Stages banned for Singles & Doubles: Yoshi?s Island (Pipes), Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom 1, Venom, Yoshi’s Island 64, Peach?s Castle, and Kongo Jungle, Onett.
- No stage may be used twice in a Best of 3 or Best of 5 Series. The random select stages are the only stages that may be used more than once in a best of 11 series.
- After characters and the first stage has been chosen randomly during the opening (non damage phase) either team my elect to not play that stage and redo the random. Each team/player is allowed one Non-Random stage knock-off. The lower seeded team uses theirs first.
- After each game of a series, the player who lost the previous game may choose the stage for the next game or elect for it to be chosen randomly. After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters.
- For the first game of a series, a player may call for a double-blind pick. This means that all participating players must tell a judge the character they will use for that game. Each player is required to use that character in the game.
- If players/teams meet for a 2nd time in the Championship Bracket, their series will expand to a best of 11, include the previous series, and pick up where that series left off. For example, if Player A beat Player B 3 games to 0 in the Winners Bracket, the Best of 11 will resume with Game 4 and Player leading 3 games to 0. The loser of the 1st series will choose the stage for the 1st game of the 2nd series and players may call for a double-blind pick before any game throughout the best of 11.
- If the players/teams meeting in the Championship Match have not yet faced each other in a series and the team coming from the Losers Bracket wins first series, another series must be played to break the tie since both players/teams would only have one series loss.
Other Rules & Special Issues
- Any unnecessary pausing of the game will result in a forfeit of that single game.
- Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo’s Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the game or makes it unable to be finished are banned and will result in the immediate forfeit of the entire match.
- Tactics such as Peach’s Wallbombing and Jiggly’s Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. If by using one of these tactics, you have put your character in a place to lose a stock by ending the tactic, a judge may force you to stop and lose a life and continue the match short a stock.
- Players/teams may designate a coach when they register for a competition, however, this coach may not be registered as a player for either a Singles or Doubles competition. Coaches may not instruct players during games, but may consult with players for a maximum of 1 minute between games. Once the stage for the next game has been selected, players may not talk to their coach.
- For Doubles matches, Team Attack is ON
- For Doubles matches, life stealing is allowed
Many of the rules don’t apply of course, like the doubles rule and the name tag stuff. Wait are there going to be doubles?
I recommend that the rules be changed to that should I take to Mr. Wizard?
Also is this tournament double elimination?
EDIT: Actually the rules are fine except we were hoping for 4 stock 8 mins, but if you were wondering about doubles rules, there it is.
The rules are in place and no changes will be made this time. The only change is that it will be double elimination this time, and this game will run all at one time.
Also the schedule for Evo East will be up hopefully by Tuesday the latest.
$5 MM for World Heroes 2? Accepted…but be ready :badboy:…hahaa.
sounds good to me… check your PM’s btw
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yo
Anyone wanna room with me?
JeRon, Anthony…
Anyone :sad:
I may actually need that room D-Nyce…so I would be up for it.
In case people were wondering about SNK action at EVO East, this is what I am looking at running-
Oyg you play Kizuna Enconter?
Also when is the next tourney you are going to By the way?
Also guys for now it looks like the SNK stuff will be held in a hotel that is not the Hilton and for those SNK heads at Showdown Championships like CrimsonDisaster I will post up exactly where al this is.
Also, who is going ot EVO East?
Time to start laying the groundwork for that, since I got an email from GeoStigma telling me that it wouldnt be best for me to head up to NEPA3 just for the SNK action at this time so I will repsect and do that.
So that makes the NC tourney more likely.
JeRon you up for EVO East? Also you guys say there is a BYOC room at EVO East etc right? Then we can take care of what we need to do right?
To the EVO East Host(s)- How does it wokr in regards to running tournies in the BYOC room? Would it be possible for me to run my SNK tournies in the BYOC room? This is what I would be travelling up there for actually. I would be willing to make a willing sacrifice of donating my PS3 w/T5DR in exchange ofr one to two TVs for SNk action. Things didnt confict at all with the people signed up for the main tournies.
Here is the EVO East tentative SNK action
-KOF NeoWave
-SST (Mukai you signing up right?)
-NGBC
-KOF 94 Rebout
-KOFXI
-World Heroes 2 FREE tourney
-FREE KOF 96 tourney
And more if time permits!
-Dark Geese
I’ve never been to an evo event before, but I’ve always wanted to. I’m pretty inexperienced, so I’d probably lose outright. But, I’m working right outside Stamford this summer, so it would have seemed like the perfect opportunity.
Oh well, maybe I’ll still stop by Saturday and Sunday to play casuals and see the awesome comp
any word on the schedule?
me and jal just bought our tix.
someone bring me a breaksteak please, for i have never experienced this gdlk sandwich.
If i make it out there this year, i’m down to enter Tenka, WH2 and any other old school snk games
Just in case no one saw it before. I’ll take all challenges with my low tier teams vs your high tier teams in MM’s at evo east.
Record please :lovin::wgrin:
If anybody brings a 360 to the BYOC section (if there is one) then I’m down for money matches in HF against all takers.
~Decoy
