A group of Project M players in the Ottawa area playing together. This tournament will be decently small as it's the first one but it will grow as more occur.



Rules:





No Johns



4 stocks, 8 minutes, best 2 out of 3 set.





Items are set to Off and None





Pausing results in the person who paused to suicide one stock if the other player wishes to invoke this ruling.





Unplugging the controller results in an automatic disqualification if done purposely. If done on accident, the match if not paused will continue to run as normal.



Legal Stages:





Starter: Yoshi's Story (Melee), Green Hill Zone, Pokemon Stadium 2, Battlefield, Smashville, DreamLand, Final Destination





Counter-Pick: Yoshi's Island (Brawl), WarioWare, Norfair, Distant Planet, Fountain of Dreams



All other stages (including those on the second page) are BANNED. They cannot be played on.





Suicide moves:

If the final stock results in both players dying in a suicide move (eg. a Kirby swallowcide or Ganondorf's Flame Choke) the initiator of the suicide move wins the round.



Stage elimination:





First game:

Bottom row stages ONLY (Excluding Distant Planet and Final Destination. Final Destination is Beginner while Distant Planet is Counter-Pick.

Banning order: 1 - 2 - 2 - 1 (Rock, Paper, Scissors in order to determine who bans the final stage)

(Loser bans first stage, then winner bans two stages, then loser bans two stages, and winner bans the last stage and the players play on the only beginner stage not banned).





(Note: You cannot change characters after leaving the character select screen. The character you chose is permanent until after the first game is played.)



Second & third game:

Can't return to last stage played unless both parties agree. Winner of the previous match bans any 3 stages, loser of the previous match picks out of available beginner and counter-pick stages.





Winner may change characters only before the loser does. Both players can change characters after the next stage has been selected. The winner cannot choose to change characters after the loser changes theirs.



Tiebreakers:





The winner of a timed out match (a match that lasts longer than the given 8 minutes) is determined by stock. The player with the most stocks at the end of the match is declared the winner. If the stocks are tied, the winner is determined by whoever has the lowest percentage. If both stock AND percentage are tied, a tiebreaker match will be played.





Tiebreaker match:





1 stock

3 minutes

The match ends when either player is defeated, or whoever has the lower percentage if time runs out.



Terms:





Beginner Stage: Refers to any of the stages on the bottom row of the First Page in the Project M Stage Select screen (note this includes Final Destination and NOT Distant Planet)



Counter-pick Stage: Refers to any stage of the legal non-beginner stages available on the First Page in the Project M Stage Select screen.





Kirbycide: When a player uses Kirby's Inhale ability, and kills both themselves and their opponent.
