Smash Master
UPDATE: Due to low interest I've decided to cancel this.
Or the SOIABBDT for short. Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?
The Plan
Each leg of the tournament from sign-ups, to rounds, and a break period between tournaments will last about a week. This should give ample time for everything to happen. Should all of the matches for a round finish ahead of time and I notice such, we'll just roll over the rest of the time of that round to the next one, unless it adds up to about 2 weeks in which case we'll just move the next week ahead one week.
After sign-ups, there will be swiss rounds to get everyone seeds. If enough people sign-up that swiss would go on for too long, participants of the previous tournaments will be given seeds based on overall ranking in the SOIABBDT Leader Bowd. If there are too few newcomers to warrant a swiss round, the final seeds will be randomly assigned to them and the tournament proper will begin without swiss.
In the event a match cannot for any reason be played between players in the allotted time, the winner will be decided by coin flip. Should someone completely fail to get a hold of the person he needs to play against (i.e.: they sign-up and disappear from Smash Boards entirely or something), the win will be given to the person who actually wants to participate in the tournament. Rulings will be done on a case by case basis.
The Rules
Double Elimination
Best of 3 (Grand Finals Best of 5/winner of Losers must win twice)
3 Stock
10 minute Timer
No Items
No Customs
Neutral Stages (Need to figure what the general consensus for those are...)
No stage bans
Rotate hosts
Bowser-cide will be decided by the game (If Sudden Death occurs, play it out.)
Should both players agree upon any alternate rules, that's fine. If you want to decide the winner with Rock/Paper/Seizors, whatever, so long as there is a winner.
If there is a dispute as to who the winner actually is, it'll be decided by coin flip. Please don't take advantage of this to try to steal a win if you lost. This tournament is just for fun, so try to be mature, m'kay?
When signing up, feel free to include alternate means of contact for matches. Primary means should be through either this topic or IM. I might make a group, I don't know.
If you know who you're going to play against in the next round, you and your opponent are free to play your match ahead of schedule. Just try to wait until that round starts to notify me of the results. I don't want to have to scroll back through several pages to figure out who won a match that took place two weeks early or something.
That should cover everything. Leave any thoughts, questions, or complaints about the tournament below. Please bare in mind I have never organized anything like this before, so I fully expect things to go horribly wrong. And if someone could link to helpful materials like a website that'll generate brackets or something, I'd appreciate it.
Good luck and have fun!

Make sure you include in your first post of this topic how long/many times you spent sounding that out. This IS mandatory.
