Background
In the past, the fighting game community has been very active in the Midwest, with many big tournaments happening year round. However, one certain area has been vastly underrepresented in the Melee scene... and that's Youngstown, Ohio! A couple of big area Smash players and the on campus video game club VEGA have teamed up to throw the biggest Smash party in the history of Youngstown, Y-Town Throwdown! The hosts of this event have had experience with running events in the past, and want this event to be huge! With a venue with a capacity of 200+ and in-building food options, this event is going to be one of the biggest Smash tourneys in Ohio!
Pre-registration is here!
PM registration is here!
NOTE: IF YOU PLAN TO ENTER PM, YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER. THE EVENT IS PLANNED TO BE CAPPED AT 32 ENTRANTS.
NOTE: WE HAVE REACHED THE 32 PLAYER CAP. HOWEVER, IF YOU STILL SIGN UP, AND SOMEONE ON THIS LIST DOES NOT SHOW, WE WILL PUT THE NEXT PERSON IN LINE IN THE BRACKET BASED ON WHO SIGNED UP THE EARLIEST.

NOTE: The pictures shown in the tour will not be the layout for the event. The layout will be changed to reflect a gaming setting (multiple long tables, projector, circular tables for relaxing).
A large room with a capacity of 200+. Large space, with room for large numbers of setups. All of Top 8 onwards will be played on stream at http://twitch.tv/smashstudios
Other matches, including Project M, will be streamed at http://twitch.tv/codeflow
NOTE: Kilcawley Staff may move us to a different room before the event, however the event will still happen in Kilcawley Center.
VENUE RULES:
No outside food or drink allowed in the venue.
The TO reserves the right to eject you from the venue for breaking any rules listed.
IMPORTANT FOR THOSE COMING JUST FOR PM:
If you are bringing a PM setup, you will still get your venue fee waived, however it would help us a ton if you were to bring a Melee disc with you for Melee Singles Pools. The organizers are trying to run pools as quickly as possible due to time constraints, and every setup helps.
