(Update: 2/2/2017 - The tournament will be hosted in the regular Shrekboards discord after all.
Also, Hydrus and ProviderOfSouls have been kind enough to volunteer for helping with streaming due to his involvement in other competitive scenes. Shoutouts to them!)
I am officially announcing E V E N M A T C H U P 2. The current plans are to host the event this saturday - 1/28/2017 - starting at 11 a.m. CST at the earliest and 1 p.m. CST at the latest. If there is enough demand for it, then I will delay the event by 1 week. I will not reschedule it to a weekday since I am still settling back into my college semester, and I would prefer to host this on a Saturday rather than a Sunday if I can help it.
Due to Glacey's inactivity in the scene in recent times, we need a stream for this event in order to preserve the matches for study or for the memes, whichever you prefer. I'm going to be working on my own stream in order to try to compromise for this necessity. However, I will gladly take up on another's offer in order to stream the matches, and if possible, a couple/few people can help in streaming the matches for recording. Due to this issue, I will most likely not participate in the tournament itself in order to make sure that the tournament runs as smoothly as possible along with the streams if the plans work out.
Ruleset:
Neutral Stages:
Poison Apple Inn
Fat Boy
Gepetto's Workshop
Romeo Drive
Bean Stalk
Counterpick Stages:
Kung Fu Dojo
Medieval Chef
Bell Tower
5 Stock
8 Minutes
The "unofficial" RRH ban is in play for now.
Upon Sudden Death, the player who had the most Slam meter wins. If one player has an active Slam, but the meter has been depleted lower than the other player's inactive Slam meter, the player with the active Slam is still considered to have the lead. If both players have the same amount of Slam, restart with a 1 stock 2 minute match.
Excessive stalling will result in disqualification. This doesn't include camping.
Upon glitching out of bounds, restart match with same stocks/time limit.
Registration:
You can register for EM2 at this link here: challonge.com/E_V_E_N_M_A_T_C_H_U_P_2
If you have any trouble registering online before the tournament begins or do not have an account, as long as you are available just before the tournament begins, I can add you in. Just make sure to contact/@ me in the within the tournament and netplay channels of the discord.
I will be contacting the players who need to start their matches in the Matches and Scores channel of the server.
Tournament Delay Rules:
If I call a match but one of the players is not available in the first round of winners, I will give 5 minutes for the player to come by and notify me that they can play the set. If they are still not available, I will count a match in favor of the person available and give an additional 3 minutes to come by. If they still are not available, I will give the set to the person available.
If one of the players is not available in the second round of winners and the first two rounds of losers, I will give 3 minutes for the player to come by and notify me that they can play the set. If they are still not available, I will count a match in favor of the person available and give an additional 2 minutes to come by. If they still are not available, I will give the set to the person available.
If both players are not available in winners round 1, the same rules will apply to one of the players at random, meaning that one of the players will be given the game/set at random with the same time intervals.
In the case of the rounds not specified, an instant DQ will be granted to the person absent, no exceptions.
If a set is going to be delayed due to some problems connecting between players, contact me in order to make sure that I know and I will give typically 5-10 minutes in order to try to fix these issues. There have been problems with our tournaments where an entire bracket is delayed because 1 set took too long to finish, so you have to make sure that you have fully communicated with me on these issues for full understanding.
It is recommended that you contact me to record the set scores. If you have a challonge account but don't contact me, you have full responsibility to record your set scores. If you do not record your scores or if you haven't contacted me and there is hold up in the tournament, expect for me to contact you for the scores or if there is any issue of any kind. Besides the instances listed above, not responding to me will result in a forfeit/DQ.

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF MERCY?
