Hello once again, and welcome to yet another exciting tournament of smashing! And islanding. Or something.

The tournament will begin on Saturday, July 18th, at approximately 14:00 EDT. Seeding is based on the Flash Collective Rankings. The bracket is not finalized until approximately 5 minutes before the tournament actually begins, thus it is not a good idea to play out matches before then. Anyone who fails to check in before the event will be dropped from the bracket. Anyone who does check in, but fails to show up within 20 minutes of the tournament's beginning will be dropped to losers. Anyone who fails to show up for an additional 10 minutes will be dropped entirely.

Each round will last approximately half an hour. I can push back a deadline if necessitated by a lack of finished matches. If all matches are played out before the deadline, the next round will immediately start. The bracket will be updated as each result comes in.

All finished match results should be posted in the IRC channel in the following format:
!X defeats Y 0-0
If the other player does not show up to fight, get a hold of me before the match deadline indicating this. If the match isn't played out before the deadline, the other player will be disqualified from the match.

Main Rules:

• Double Elimination
• 3 Stocks, 7 minutes
• Items disabled
• Hazards disabled
• All matches are best of 3, except for winners/losers/grand finals, which are best of 5.

Stage list:


Yep, Sky Sanctuary Zone is sitting out for this tournament as well. Enjoy another tournament of Morth.mp4 on Mirror Chamber.

Set Procedure:

• Players will double-blind pick their first characters.
• Players will use the 1-2-1 striking system to determine which neutral stage to use for the first game. The player who's hosting the room will strike first.
• For all subsequent games, the winning player will strike 3 stages from the list above and the losing player will counterpick from the remaining stages. Then the winner will then pick their character, followed by the loser.
• You cannot counterpick any stages you won on previously during the set.

Lag:

• If the game desynchs, it will be replayed on the same stage with the same characters.
• If lag issues occur on Final Destination or Dracula's Castle, players may reselect their stage via the counterpicking system.
• If multiple desynchs occur, an argument arises over desynching, or a set takes longer than 45 minutes, I will personally determine the outcome of the set based on replay information and past tournament results.

Other Rules:

• If time runs out, the person with the most stocks left wins. If both players have an equal number of stocks, whoever has a lower percentage wins. If the percentage is also equal, play a 1-stock 3 minute match with the same characters on the same stage to determine the winner. Repeat as necessary.
• If the match ends with a move that kills both characters simultaneously when they are each on their last stock, the player who performed the move wins.
• If a player intentionally disconnects from their opponent during a game, it will count as a win for their opponent. The only exception to this rule is if a reset is necessary due to an error during the game's setup (wrong players, characters, stages, stock count, or time limit; hazards and items are not disabled; sudden death/waiting room glitch; etc.).
• Excessive stalling is not allowed (infinite combos past 300%, repeated use of Sonic's homing attack under stage, scrooging, etc.)
• Gentleman's Clause is in effect. Any of the above rules may be averted if both players agree to it.
• IF YOU ARE IN TOP 8, YOU MUST SAVE YOUR REPLAYS FOR THE STREAM. If you don't, you may have to redo your set. This rule doesn't apply if, for whatever reason, the stream fails. If one of the players deliberately quits before a replay can be saved, the game will be rewarded to their opponent, regardless of the outcome.

The box is locked, the lights are on... s***, this is the wrong script.

Will mention that Smash Island 14 is part of the X Summer Bash; winner of SI14 will also win a spot in the Summer Elite Round Robin after Grands of X8.

Sky Sanctuary Zone is not legal for this tourney, yet we can re-counterpick to play there... Typo or taking GM into consideration?

sighE, yaboi expelled the salt from his body, comin bak in tip top sh8pe, turns out playing card games nonstop for weeks makes you better a fiting gaems.

He just forgot.

And here I thought he made that with GM in mind... Well technically, its still possible... Why do I even bother?

I'm now officially back. Let the signups commence.

On the same Saturday as EVO? Really?

No way, man. EVO isn't until the...

... s***.

I won't attend.
I would rather watch EVO.

Melee finals aren't until Sunday, you're all good.

SI gets a salty suite

Doq v Spidr || Any char

Except that I want to see Sm4sh finals as well, which are on Saturday.

We can just not attend together. I'll be at work.

The stream is now live!
