Month #3 of the Smash Weeklies are here!

Introducing the third round of IMGMR's Smash Weeklies! With a new month comes a new set of rules! Join in to participate in the stream, win prizes and more!


How to register and participate:

To be specific, this is an online tournament and will be streamed via Twitch while hosting on Challonge. I will also be participating and will be streaming the top matches at the same time. Any live announcements will be happening on Twitch as well, so make sure to keep it live while participating. Depending on the number of subscriptions, I may or may not be able to stream every match of the tournament. Here is how you can register:

1. Make a Challonge account on Challonge.com
2. Make your way to Challonge.com/IMGMR9  to register for the tournament. Upon registering, make sure you use your name/alias followed by your Nintendo Network ID in parenthesis. i.e.: Simbaar Ragehowl (Seltik)
3. An hour before the tournament begins, you must go back to check-in for the tournament to ensure your registration goes through. (The check-in button appears at check-in time)
4. Tune in to Twitch.tv/simbaarragehowl for live announcements for the tournament as well as enjoying some good matches during check-in time.

Tournament Timing and Check-in Time:

The tournament will be taking on Saturdays at 2pm Eastern Time. Check-in time will begin an hour before, meaning at 1pm.

Ruleset & Legal Stages:

It will be a single elimination tournament with all rounds being a Best of 3 except for the Final round being a Best of 5. As aforementioned, the ruleset used every month will be changed. For this first month, we will go with the simple For Glory ruleset.

• 1-on-1, 3 stocks, 8-minute matches
• Custom moves, equipment and Miis are not allowed
• Players will add each other's NNID in order to play against each other.

Here is a list of Neutral and Counterpick Stages:

Neutral Stages:

1. Battlefield
2. Wuhu Island
3. Smashville (Brawl)
4. Town and City
5. Duck Hunt

Counterpicks (Cannot be picked on the first match of the round):

1. Delfino Plaza
2. Halberd (Brawl)
3. Omega Walled
4. Omega Floating (Final Destination is part of them)
5. Kongo Jungle 64
6. Pokémon Stadium 2
7. Kalos Pokémon League

For the first match of the set, players will undergo banning process among the Neutral stages in order to choose one. The host player will ban the first stage out of the five listed above. The invited player will then ban 2 and the host player bans one more. The remaining stage will be the one selected for the first match.

For the following matches, the winner of the first match will then ban 3 stages from the Neutral and Counterpick stages. The loser of the match will then pick the next stage from either Neutral or Counterpick stages. The loser cannot pick a stage that he or she won on during the set.

Upon the end of the Best of 3, the results will reported onto the brackets by the players.

This ruleset will be applicable from Saturday, February 7th 2015 to Saturday, February 28th 2015. The next ruleset to be applied will then be announced at that time. After every tournament, tune in to Slyke the Hedgehog's YouTube channel where he will post highlights of the tournament every week.
