Bracket will be shuffled before we begin.





We'll begin at 5:00pm EST on May 23. In order to avoid being dropped from the bracket, you will need to manually check in by clicking the check-in button at the top of the page between 4 and 5.



http://www.smashladder.com/netplay/PPST is where communication with your opponents will take place. To make things run more smoothly, you should make sure your Smashladder name matches your bracket name.



RULES

-Pokemon Characters Only

-3 stock 8 minutes

-Losers and Grand Finals Bo5, everything else Bo3

-No Customs

-No Items



You should arrange your matches on Smash Ladder (click your opponent's name --> play), which will provide menus for stage and character picks, and will also provide a layer of defense against fraudulent reports as a dispute will be opened if the players' reported results don't match up, so don't close the post-match screen until your opponent reports the result. You will also need to report the result on the challonge bracket.



You will have 15 minutes to show up for your round 1 match, and 10 minutes for all subsequent matches. Failure to do so will result in a loss. Remember, this is DOUBLE elimination, so you're not out of the tournament until you lose twice.



PRIZES

1st Place - $5 Amazon

2nd Place - $2 Paypal/Amazon





Current Cash Pot Balance - $2

If you'd like automatic entry into all future tournaments, you can reserve one of the remaining 30/32 remaining slots at patreon.com/portableplatypus for $3 per month. $1 of your contribution will go directly into the pot, while the rest will support Portable Platypus. As there is only $2 in the pot, it will all go to the 2nd place player, but in the future it will be divided between the top 2 or 3. Once all 32 spots have been claimed, patron-only tournaments will be held in the time between the main ones (also with prizes).





Once the patreon hits $50/mo, one random patron will win a Mega Handheld Lot
