I'm back to my post-Christmas routine of... having usable internet.

Since I'm the point of contact for Melee, I'm gonna run a slightly modified version of the Evo rules
Game version: PAL

Game Settings: 4 Stock, 8 Minute Time Limit, No Items, Pause Disabled, 2/3 Games

Double-blind char select in first match

First stage is decided by banning from the Starter Stages in P1-P2-P2-P1 order

Starter stages: Yoshi’s Story, Fountain of Dreams, Final Destination, Battlefield, Dream Land.

Counter-pick Stages: Pokémon Stadium.

Casual caveat: If neither player cares about stage bans or blind char select, games can go to random select of legal stages

Wobbling is legal. Freezing and infinite stalling are not legal.

Winning player is not locked into the same character for the next match, but has to pick before loser selects character.

Following stages decided by winner banning one stage from all stages and then loser choosing.

You may not choose a stage you have already won on unless mutually agreed to.

Also I plan on winning both of these, so come at me bros

Just saying, if there are a lot of attendants, that could take a hell of a long time to run.

As in like, maybe consider changing the stock and time limit on the day if a LOT of folks show up.

Yeah I thought about that.

Game lengths are massively variable by skill level though, and the longest matches are going to between lower level players of equal skill.

Conversely Higher level players rack up damage and get low % kills very quickly.

So average match length in our Smash tournaments goes way down as we progress through the bracket

Also considering that Melee is the only game that won't be a Xbox/PS3 resource drain on the other tournaments, AND that we can easily swing 2 or 3 setups if people bring kit; I have a feeling we'll probably wrap up the quickest out of all the side tournaments.

If someone (not me) wants to bring consoles for project M, and we're all good for time, we can have casuals for Project M once we've wrapped up the Melee tournament.
