xAverage's Amiibo All-Stars 3 (xAAA3)

First topic message reminder :

Howdy guys. After that Amiibrawl, I just couldn't wait to post my next tournament. This one will be singles format. You can submit 5 Amiibo. Also, I am hoping by the time I run this tournament, I'll have a nice capture card so I can post videos of the matches. Hopefully, it's not too difficult to learn as I would like to stream it if possible.

Format:
Round 1: Dependent on the number of entrants, I will split them up into groups of 4 where they will compete in round robins (2 stock, best of 3, no time limit) with the 1st and 2nd in each group proceeding to round 2. Tiebreaker matches will be played IF the tie is for a Round 2 Bid (tie for 1st, or tie for 2nd). 2-way ties will be decided in a 2 stock, best of 1, no time limit. 3-way ties will be played in a triple threat (1v1v1) 2 stock, best of 1 with 1st and 2nd in that tie-breaker proceeding.
Round 2: All 1st and 2nd seeds in each group will be reseeded based on 1st or 2nd in groups, Matches Won, Games won, Stock Differential (if someone wins a game 2 to 0 then they get a +2 for that game), tie-breakers will be coin-flip. From there, they will compete in a double elimination 2 stock, best of 3, no time limit.

Rules:

• Format is above (tl;dr 2 stock, best of 3). If there is a small number of entrants, I will do 2 stock, best of 5.
  
• You can submit 5 Amiibo, but the catch is you can only submit 1 S, 2 A/A+, and at least 2 must be B+ or below. I want to get some lower tiered winners in here :D
  
• Stats must equal 120.
  
• No Little Mac.
  
• No Explosive Perfect Shield.
  
• No Smash Ball.
  
• S Tiers cannot use Critical Hit
  
• Stages will all be random Ω (Omega) Stages.
  

Seeding:

• Please seed your Amiibo when you send them in. You will only seed your 5. Each #1 seed will be randomized to start the group stage (Starting at #1 Seed Group A, #1 Seed Group B, #1 Seed Group C, ..., ...). Then the #2 seed will fill the same way, followed by #3, #4, #5. The number of groups will be dependent on the total number of entrants.
  

Entrant Due Date: January 2nd, 2017
Start/End Date: Depends on how long. I'll probably due 1-3 groups a day. Then Round 2 in one day. Shooting for a big one again, so invite anyone you know!

Update: I just got an Elgato HD60, so I'll most likely record games and upload them to youtube. :D

Update2: Since I'm getting entrants already, I would like to ask that you seed your entrants. So say you sent 5 amiibo (Link, Mario, Roy, Yoshi, Paluntena) List them in order, bracket name, and all that too please! So if you could send it like this. And rename .bins please.

Bracket Name:
1. Amiibo Name - Character
2. Amiibo Name - Character
3. Amiibo Name - Character
4. Amiibo Name - Character
5. Amiibo Name- Character

It would help me with organizing and save me a lot of time.

Update: minor editing throughout post.

Update2: Anyone who has sent Link does not need to send a replacement. I will allow him being sent as he was A tier when rules were written. Though if you have not sent your entrants yet, I would prefer if Link was not sent in addition to another S tier, but I will not penalize anyone who does do that.

Current Number of Contestants: 60
Bracket: challonge.com/xAAA3

I sent you 1 S, 2 A's and 2 B's.

Same goes for me, do i need to send in a replacement also?

I'll allow it considering Link was not S when I wrote the rules.

Cool beans

I'm on vacation and can't send files, can you just use my DK, Rosalina, and Kirby from before?

Edit: Never mind, I can forward files to you from my iPad.

Huh. I didn't know you could do a set up for groups into a bracket on Challonge. Makes one of my future ideas much easier.

Group C is the last group stage for today correct?

I was lucky it was an even number. If it was uneven, the last group could have 1 entrant, I would need to include blank entrants just to change the last couple groups.

Yeah. I'll try to do Group D-J tomorrow. I'll do some, just hoping I can do a lot. I should have the time to.

Group D is starting now! Also, for the bracket stage, everyone who placed first in their group will play against someone who played 2nd in groups. It will be RNG, but they will not play the same opponent they had in groups.
