Man, how time flies, right? I still remember seeing the inklings chase each other in their goop, and thought Splatoon 3 was already getting announced (in fairness, Splatoon was 2015, 2 was 2017. I could have seen Nintendo cashing in on Splatoon being their yearly franchise). Then, as someone who doesn't act crazy over game announcements, I saw the Smash symbol and went WILD. It still feels like sometimes, we should still be in the Sm4sh era, but alas, the end of Ultimate is upon us. Well, the end is terms of awaiting further excitement through characters we all know and love. I don't know about you, but damn, was FP2 a hot one. Biggest star of the 2010's, Steve; a top 3 iconic final boss, Sephiroth; and now Disney's own cross-over maniac, Sora; all in one location together for us to duke out with icons like Mario, Link, and R.O.B. With Sora's announcement, I would like to announce my own 3rd ever invitational: The PiOverlord's 2021 CEper Smash Bros Invitational is returning with the full fire Smash Ultimate rained down upon us, but there's once difference: I have a job! Random thing to say? Maybe, but that means one thing: I have moneyto bri... I mean persuade some of you to join. It doesn't matter, though, because the person that's going to win that money is none other than me when I win ;) With that said, let's reveal what the prizes will be with a few caveats that will be listed in the paragraph directly below (given out October 29th at the latest since that's when I receive my first paycheck. If the promised sign-on bonus is received before then, then the payouts will be given as soon as I receive that in my account).
Alright, with $200 in the prize pool, I hope this encourages some of you to join. The prize pool is contingent on a successful crowd as the entry fee is $0. That means all $200 is coming out of my pocket. If less than 4 show up, the tournament will be simply canceled. If only 4 people show up, then I'm not paying people for getting last place and prizes will only be $25 for first and $10 for 2nd. 5-8 will mean the prize is cut to $10 for the semi-finalists, and half of what the current prize is for 1st and 2nd. Anything above 8 contestants (including myself) will guarantee the prize pool listed above. The number of contestants will only include those considered final contestants, which means they entered and were not disqualified for no-shows or any other reason. I reserve the right to disqualify you for any reason if deemed necessary. Alright, now that we got that boring stuff about money that no one cares about, who's ready to talk about the tournament itself? As a tournament-fanboy, meaning I literally love the concept of tournaments more than the actual competition itself, I present you with the following guidelines: PiOverlord's 2021 CEper Smash Bros Invitational Guidelines and Rules How will this tournament work? This tournament will be divided into the Play-In and Playoff components, each with its own set of guidelines. The Play-In will involve a series of match-ups that will determine each contestant's record. The top 8 records from Play-In will then be seeded from best to worst record and move onto a single set/elimination playoff format. The Play-In Rules:
Playoff-seeding tie-breakers As stated, only seeds #1-8 are accepted into the tournament. In the event there are ties for any seed, the following will be used to break the tie in order

Playoff rules:
Special rule for the CHAMPIONSHIP Round
This tournament is open for contestants and those who want to watch for fun alike. That being said, if the tournament is a success, I will need an assistant to open up a 2nd arena. As I cannot be there, I am relying on said assistant to adhere to the rules set above as the official for making sure fighters abide by stage rules and accurate results are reported to me. If a rule is broken during a match, I will simply reset the match (regardless if the fighters notice that they broke a rule before or after the void match is over). Final Notes about the tournament beforehand:
The Tournament Schedule (Subject to Change) October 22nd
Keep in mind, you technically don't have to show up on the 22nd. If you do not, though, you are at risk for disqualification as we need the matches done by the 23rd. I know this was incredibly long, but if you read it all, I appreciate it. Please join the tournament; it will be fun, and you may win big money for just being good at Smash Bros. Thank you for your time, and if you join, GOOD LUCK! Be on the lookout as I may have exhibition matches between now and the tournament just for fun as well if you want to de-rust! --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 31; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...

I cant make it but i will bump this as your tourney stuff was fun in the past.That first tournament was a journey! I still wonder how I pulled it off. The guidelines are the same as that one, so if people show up, hopefully we actually fit in the schedule unlike last time! The first one had Smash hype on its side, but I'm hoping maybe I can draw some people in from Sora hype and money! It's a bummer you can't make it as your Yoshi was fun to fight. Still, if you find you suddenly do have the time, you're of course, welcome to join. Regardless, feel free to hop on one of the exhibition sessions if a crowd starts to come. Thanks for bumping it, though, I appreciate it! I probably need to bump this during prime CE hours tomorrow as I don't know if making the topic so late was a good idea. I always get motivated at night for these projects, when I need to get motivated a few hours beforehand! --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 31; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...

Since he won twice in a row, he must be some kind of smash god. Do you have the brackets from last year or the year before? Just curious. --- pojr I summon it. You spell it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

PiOverlord 10/14/21 8:41:37 PM #25: |
Well, I recall the first time was just a stroke of luck I think. He really doesn't pop up much on CE, and I think I @'ed him for the 2nd one since it wouldn't make sense to not invite the defending champion.
The first one's topic is lost to time. If you look on... "that site" it happened during the period that all those topics got deleted (only the names of them are up but none of the posts). Here's the tournament sheet results, though with every matchup: https://docdro.id/AecaeYr (I hope this link works) The 2nd one didn't draw many in; I think only 4 people showed up officially even though many said they wanted to. Just a lot of people that dropped out at the last second unfortunately. 7NATOR still went 12-0, though, so he earned it. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 31; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ...

I'm just happy to see I got a win off him in the play-in part, lol. If I recall @FL81 actually performed pretty well against him with his Zelda, but just happened to lose two close matches. I lost a very close series to @PatrickMahomes 's Snake. My Little Mac did pretty well, though. Couldn't touch @Simon_Petrikov 's Richter, though; had better results against him with Piranha Plant. I might just @ all the previous tournament contestants just in case they have any interest. If 12 people show up, I might alter the post-season guidelines to copy what I did before with the top 4 seeds getting a bye as a reward for having the best records. Idk, we'll see. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 31; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE ... Copied to Clipboard!
