Who do we contact if we can't get tickets ahead but want them anyway ?
Could we have a little bit more info once on campus to get to the site (never went to concordia) ?
Since I assume concordia to be kinda big and easy to get lost into.

We are supposed to have a registration office, as soon they solve their technical problems with their phone, I will give you the number to call them.
I will address to Rice the HOW TO GET TO THE H BUILDING.

Concordia is not that big, tbh, but I understand that is not cool to find the place on your own.

It is going to be 3.5.

I don't quite understand this : ***Prior to starting this match, either player may elect to Contest Port Priority or Neutral Start.

Can anyone enlighten me? This is going to be my first tournament.

For port priority, see http://www.ssbwiki.com/Port_priority

Neutral start refers to where on the stage you start the match, so like on Battlefield it can start out with one player on a platform and the other on the ground, which is an advantage for the player on the ground. So you may want to contest this and get your opponent to change their port so they'll also start on a platform.

You don't really need to worry about either since they're pretty minor things and 99% of the time nobody is gonna bother or even care about them.

Port priority: Depending on which controller port you have, one player will have priority over the other when the game needs to break a tie of sorts. For example, when two grabs occur at the same time, both players grab the ledge simultaneously the game looks at the players' controller ports and the port closest to one will win and get the grab/ledge. There are other situations where port priority affects the match, such as being attacked simultaneously when one player is grabbing the other.

Neutral start: On most stages in Melee and some PM/sm4sh stages players will not start at an equivalent location, one often being on the ground/top platform while the other will be on a side platform. In these cases, the player who has the lower ground is advantaged, so to avoid it, any player may elect for a neutral start, which means that at the beginning of them match, both players will take place below side platforms before counting down to begin the match.
