One year ago, on August 10th...
A tournament series began....
It was called "Thunder Edge", weird name, I know, anyway, now 6 tournaments and 1 year (and 9 days) later....
WE GET TO PARTY!

Yawn Clause: Stalling is banned. Stalling is: "Any action in which the player deliberately avoids any fighting confrontations to make the game unplayable for more than 30 seconds (i.e. excessive camping on a ledge, or running around the stage evasively.)". If you think the opponent was stalling, but they disagree, send me the replay (Running away from a player with Respawn Invincibility doesn't count)
Taking You Down With Me! Clause: If a player performs a suicide move while both players have 1 stock, the winner is the performer of the move.

Lag/Disconnection rules:
In the match is SO laggy that it is impossible to play and/or disconnects, the match will be restarted with 1 stock, and 2 minutes unless there was a clear winner.

I'm Ready! Clause: If players do not show up for their matches within 10 minutes of the match being created, they will lose the set.
