Holy crap, what do we have this time!?

I'll tell you what we have this time! This time, I have personally invited every. single. player. who has ever been ranked in the Flash Collective Rankings. Hopefully, this inspires old and new players alike to continue fighting for everlasting peace! Or something.

The tournament will begin on Saturday, June 20th, at approximately 13:00 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. That means you, Lunary. 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:

Code:
  Neutral:
    Battlefield
    Final Destination/Nintendo 3DS (both stages can be stricken at once)
    Smashville
    Stadium III
    Yoshi's Story

  Counterpick:
    Jungle Hijinx
    Warioware
    Dreamland
    Tower of Salvation
    Castle Siege
    Dracula's Castle
    Mirror Chamber

What's this? Mirror Chamber has replaced Sky Sanctuary Zone!?

That's right! For this tournament, I will be experimenting to see if Mirror Chamber really is worthy of a ban. I've replaced Sky Sanctuary Zone as it was one of the least played stages on the previous list.

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 Sky Sanctuary Zone, 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.

Let's see what happens when it all hits the fan.

41 players have confirmed themselves so far, thus making this the single largest number of entrees in Smash Island history.

Get hyped.

Or perhaps you should stop doubting yourself and enter anyways?

You won't git gud unless you get stomped by better players on a regular basis.

I hope so too. We are currently on the verge of getting 50 players to accept their invitations, which puts us pretty dang high in terms of the number of entrants compared to the previous tours. If we get at least 80% of those people to show up, we will have the largest attendance of all time for a SSF2 tour.
