The long-awaited third edition of Murskaveljekset will be held at Energy Garage on Sunday, the 28th of May!

Murskaveljekset is the premier Super Smash Bros. for Wii U event in Aalto University. Originally created in 2015 to bring together the different Smash communities in Otaniemi, the tournament is now held twice a year. Murskaveljekset is open to any and all Smash players in Aalto to have fun and compete for the title of “best player in Otaniemi.” Participation is free of charge.

There is no online registration. Participating players have to be present at the venue on the day of the tournament by 13:00 AT THE LATEST. Players are recommended to arrive a little earlier for a chance to warm up before the tournament begins.

Murskaveljekset features a singles (1v1) tournament and a doubles (2v2) tournament. In the tournament format, players are divided into pools where everyone plays each other once. The highest placing players and teams in pools will advance to a bracket to play for the championship.

Contact Jussi “Katshuma” Hirvonen (+358400832746) for any questions.

TOURNAMENT RULES:

• 2 stocks.

• All tournament sets are BO3 (best of three) except finals, which are BO5.
• Team Attack On.
• Items None and All Off.
• Equipment Off.
• Customisations Off.

• Pause should be turned off. In the event that a player pauses the game during a tournament match, the opposing side can demand that the pausing player forfeits their current stock.
• Sudden Deaths are never played. If the game ends up in Sudden Death because time ran out and both teams had the same amount of stocks remaining, victory goes to the side that had the least damage. (If the amount of damage was the same or players died at the exact same time, a new match is played with 1 stock and 3 minutes.)
• The first game of a set is always played on a starter stage. Players should use rock-paper-scissors to determine who picks the stage. The loser strikes one stage before the winner selects between the remaining ones.
• During a set, the loser of the previous game picks the next stage and chooses their character last.
• The winner of the previous game has 2 stage strikes in a BO3 set, and 1 stage strike in a BO5 set.
• Dave’s Stupid Rule: A player cannot pick a stage they have already won on during the set.
• Gentleman Rule: If both sides are in complete agreement, nonlegal stages may be chosen.
• Before the first match of a set, players may demand Double Blind Character Selection. (In DBCS one player tells their character to a third party. The other player then selects their character. The third party reveals the first player’s selection afterwards.)
