Ema Skye Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) The Serenes Forest Super Smash Bros. Tournament Thread Maintained by: Starbound (Doofina) and Sara (Elieson) Approved by: Red Fox of Fire In an effort to combat a cluttered forum, this tournament thread has been created. Its purpose is to act as a location where Super Smash Bros. tournaments can be organized. Anyone is welcome to host a tournament here, but we ask that you enter it through a queue line to avoid creating a mess. We’re a very laid back community and the rules here reflect that, but there are things you must be aware of to ensure that things run smoothly here. Guidelines for Hosting a Tournament All tournaments are to be ran through this thread. In the event that your tournament has 32 entrants or greater, you will be allowed to make your own thread. This is from a request from Red Fox of Fire to have all tournaments put in this thread unless they are sufficiently large. Effective October 5 2014, a signup page using www.challonge.com is required. When you post the signups for your tournament, you must include the link to the signup page so people can sign up. Tournaments are to enter a queue by PMing your request to host a tournament to myself. If it isn't on the queue, you can't host it. No exceptions will be made. The queue exists so that everyone can host a tournament without feeling like they are competing with others for a person’s attention. As a rule of thumb, tournament signups for the soonest tournament first. When the soonest fills up, the next soonest can start. If you believe that your tournament will require additional signup time, please see me. If your tournament is the soonest, you may post signups without approval. All other circumstances will require approval before posting. Be a nice host. Don’t rig the bracket. Disqualify players fairly. However, if the need arises where you need to disqualify someone to speed up your tournament, you should disqualify them. Guidelines for Participating in Tournaments This is obvious, but please try to be available during the tournament before signing up. As a rule of thumb, try to have a few hours a day when you can play. Actively seek out your opponent to arrange a time to play. If you feel like your opponent is too tough to connect with, contact the tournament host. Please act like a decent human being. Don’t purposefully disconnect. Report results accurately. Don’t seek out loopholes to try to win. Make sure people know your friend code. Ideally you should post it on the discussion page for the Challonge tournament. To host a tournament, all you have to do is submit the dates when you want to run your tournament and the type of tournament it is. I will accept all tournaments, and I will put it on the calendar. You will also need to specify the game (Wii U or 3DS). When selecting a date, don’t just pick one day. Try to anticipate how long you see your tournament taking place and allot yourself that many days. This is to ensure that we won’t have two tournaments going at the same time. If you feel as if you need an extension because something came up, contact me and I will try to work something out. To sign up for a tournament, simply click the www.challonge.com url provided by the host and click the signup button. Then go to the discussion tab on the left and post your friend code. Here is a default tournament ruleset for each game that you can use if you don't want to come up with your own. [spoiler=3DS Ruleset] 3 stock, 8 minutes, Best of 3 Items off Double elimination Participants: 16 Custom movesets allowed. Custom equipment is not. You may change your character in between matches. No character restrictions. No stage may be played multiple times in a set (this also applies to Final Destination and Omega forms) In the event of a suicide victory, the character the game declares to be the winner is the winner.

PKL Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Finals should be 3 stocks 8 minutes on top of best of 5 imo. And single elimination is something im unfamiliar with and is generally never done in tournaments. My FC is: 0430-8521-9259 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilG Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Probably going to get my ass kicked but signing up because why not. FC: 5343-7963-5206 Mii: Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgeDusk Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'll sign up! I'm free that day, as of now, but it could potentially change due to my work hours not being fixed FC: 3668-8055-4125 Mii: Dusk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ema Skye Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm starting with single elimination just so I have an idea of how long one bracket takes. If it only takes a few hours to complete, then I'll have a better idea of how long a second one will take and so will other people hosting online tournaments through this thread.

General Horace Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) These sound like fun, I'll join! If you want a free win fight me in round 1 My internet has been wonkey recently, but I should have it fixed by then. If not i'll let you know before Oct 1st or w/e. I'll retrieve my FC in a minute. FC: 5300 8613 2871 im not a smash expert, but im a little more familiar with tournaments, and single elim is kinda cheesy, but BO3's partially alleviate the problem, and like you said, it's a good timetable for how long they'll take for future tournaments.

Gaia Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'd love to join, but I'm busy that day, and I'm still not sure if I'm even going to get the 3DS version. One day. One day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercilesscharizard Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 If it's for a whole day, I think I can do it (but I'll only be online when it hits about 2:30 EST, if that's a huge problem, don't add me).

Ema Skye Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I might not be able, but I hope I can join after the release. FC: 3196-3029-8357 Would you like me to put you on the list anyways? If by October 1 you know for sure that you aren't able to get the game, I can take you off the list and give it to one of the subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Nice job with this thread! I'll join the tourney too, though I recommend 3 stock matches instead of two. Or, alternatively, let players redo matches if there's a weird glitch or something that causes them to suicide by accident. Brawl had such incidents on stages like Castle Siege where the stage swap effect would glitch and randomly have a character fall to their doom. And since stages like this are appearing in the new Smash, those glitches might still happen. My FC is in the Smash Club thread, btw.

If by October 1 you know for sure that you aren't able to get the game, I can take you off the list and give it to one of the subs. Yes please! I'm definitely getting the game; that's for sure. I want to get used to the 3DS controls, since I'm still fixed into the GC controller. It's gotten better, but only with the 5 available in the demo. I'm just not sure if I'll be joining the tournament. But I would like to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Kamina Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Should we also post who'll main? Since character switches are allowed I don't think that's necessary. Who I'll be maining is painfully obvious though. XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
