Hey TFTV.
I'm proud to present the fourth TFTV Melee Netplay Tourney. It's been a while since the third one, and I'm itching to start again.
The tourney starts Saturday, March 12th at 3pm EST. Signups are cutoff at Friday, March 11th at 12am EST.

This tourney is going to be free-entry. We may have a donation-based prizepot if donations are given.
Bracket:
http://challonge.com/tftvmelee4
Rules:
- We use a slightly edited version of the Smashboards ruleset, which you can see here:
http://smashboards.com/rulesets/melee/
Since pause is automatically left on by the Netplay settings, we can't turn it off; accidentally pausing mid-game still forfeits your stock.
Because we can't do RPS online, lower seed strikes first.
- Use Dolphin 7840
- Double elim
- BO3 throughout, BO5 semi/finals (winner gets 1BO5 advantage in GFs)
- Forfeit rule: 10+ minutes late to your game is an automatic FFL (with exceptions due to extenuating circumstances, discuss with me beforehand)
- In a case of unplayable lag, or inability to connect, players can agree to play on a different Dolphin version. If the issues are not resolved, a TO will be called to determine if a forfeit is warranted. The lagging player also has the right to forfeit the match.

Sign up below. Include your alias and your closest region (west coast or east coast). We're going to try to balance out the bracket so that people get better ping matchups, at least in the first rounds.
Thanks for playing, and here's to a good tourney!
