Like the previous tournaments, we're keeping our awesome raffle system which lets all you venue goers get refreshments for only $1 while also entering you in our raffle. Last time we gave out 5 brand new white controllers + 1 used salt shaker. This time we might up the prizes with MORE SALT SHAKERS!!! Hype!

Pre-Registration
Go here to Pre-reg and save money on the venue fee: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_z437aARjF8-n66GvcrkqWhMgYeps5mk7pF_2-g3cf8/viewform

Important: Venue Change!!
We ran into some problems during reservation and apparently some other group used a 1 frame witchcraft to get the venue before us. Thankfully we were still able to acquire a venue for the 2 days we needed. However, the venue is significantly smaller and a little bit further into campus (still inside campus, close to a Wendys). Obviously this decreases the amount of setups we can have in total. The venue still has plenty of space in it though (~300 people capacity) and maybe we could use the lounge and meeting room as an extension.

Refreshments
We will provide drinks, pizza, and popcorn in the venue. $1 will get you either 1 bottle of drink, 1 slice of pizza, or 1 bag of popcorn. This purchase will also get you 1 raffle ticket which will go towards the raffle to be held near the end of the tournament.

Hotel/Transportation
The nearest hotel is the Hilton Garden Inn which is located inside of campus. I believe the price per night is $169. We're trying to see if we can get some discounted rates for the event. Another thing we're looking into is getting a bus that will pick up people in Manhattan and drop you off near the venue. Nothing concrete but we are looking for options.

Transportation from NYC can be done via the LIRR. It will cost you $12.50 one-way from Penn Station and $9.75 from Jamaica. There is also a 7Bus which is $7 and drops you in the middle of campus. The only problem with the bus is that you will get to campus at 2:15PM the earliest. Not to mention the last bus to NYC leaves at 5PM.

I'll make a detailed transportation guide soon similar to the one I made in the SBU 2.0 thread. I have to make a new one since the venue location is different.

Discounts*:
Take the LIRR from Zone 1-3 stations (show us receipt) - $2 off
Car pool players to the tournament - $2 off
Bring system + game - $2 off
Bring TV - $2 off
Bring system + game + TV - $5 off

*The discounts can stack for a maximum of $5

Thanks for the advice. I'll talk to the guys to see what their input is.

I'll put up pre-reg tomorrow or today. For reals this time.

I'll be attending this for some PM, now if only I can get a ride from Brooklyn...
Maybe I'll do Melee too, just for some Lawls.

Getting ready to fill out the pre-reg form; this'll be the first Smash Event I go to! Compared to my friend group I'm one of the best, but my relative skill to actual competitive smashers is in the gutters, heheh. But hey, there's only so far I can improve without playing against full-time smashers, eh?

You're not the only one my friend. It's been 3 years since my Smash Event. I got 3rd place at the Play n Trade tourneys with teens around 14-17 & I was 12 at the time, the youngest competitor there. I'm a bit rusty tho but don't feel nervous. Fun as hell being there while your heart races. Looking forward to fighting if we get the chance. :)

Heheheh, well, I haven't been to any form of a smash event other than with my friends, and I've been watching smash tourneys for quite some time now, and I can safely have no expectations in the winning standpoint. Frankly I'm more concerned about meeting veteran smashers and learning from them directly, as at this point that's the only way I can really improve at this point. I don't care how many 4-stocks I need to take, I'm going to have fun and learn, and I think I will :)

Are there any big-name smashers that are regulars to Long Island/NYC area tournaments? I've always been curious about which players are closest to me.

FB link fixed. It was linking to SBU 2.0 the entire time. We also placed orders for 6 white controllers for this event. We've been heavily discussing the schedule for a couple of days now and the finalized schedule will be up either tonight or tomorrow. From the looks of it we will have:

Day 1
Brawl Singles Bracket
PM Singles Pools
Melee Singles Pools

Day 2
PM Teams
Melee Teams
PM Singles Bracket
Melee Singles Bracket

Is pre-registering the only option to pay or can you register in person?
You can pay in person. Pre-registering makes planning easier for us and also gets you discounts!

DJN, Hax, and The Moon all came up to our biweekly a bit over a month ago. Our biweeklies always have a good showing so do check it out one of these days.

Hi, this will be the first tournament I'll be attending and I'm pretty excited! I'm just wondering though, if you want to compete will you have to be there the whole day (9am to 11pm), until you're out of the brackets I guess? Anybody's knowledge/advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks ~TehMrMow

If you want to compete you'll need to be there from the time the tournament starts until you get eliminated (or until your tournament matches end for the day). Though you'll probably want to get there with some time to warm up before bracket begins.

I'm definitely coming to this tournament, but is there an event page to the biweeklies?
