Doctor X
Smash Lord
So, as it turns out, a super-amazing arcade in Cincinnati called Arcade Legacy has a regular fighting game event known as Old School Onslaught. They conducted a vote for an additional game to include at their next event, and as Project M is fairly popular around here, we had ourselves a bit of a mini Evo spirit-bomb moment and won the vote for Project M!
For those of you who went to Nerd Rage in August, you should know that this will in fact be at that same venue, and we all know how awesome that was. We will be doing both singles and doubles brackets, alongside all the other traditional FGC events-- one of which being a bracket of random mystery games that's sure to be a blast. Southern Ohio's FGC is fairly strong these days, so I see this as a great opportunity for us to represent the smash community and start beginning some localized crossover between ourselves and those who play more traditional games.
Smash-specific details are below, but you can see full details, fees, and a schedule for the entire event here:

Fees
We've been offered the time and the space for both singles and doubles, so let's be sure to make the best of it and bring tons of setups! The Arcade is offering a $5 venue discount to anybody who brings a full setup, and free drinks to anybody who at least brings a system that can be used in the tournament.

Fees
- $10 venue, from which you get a $2 discount if you enter the main event (that mystery-game bracket I mentioned earlier). By the way, if you come, you should enter this, and not just for the discount. I know we're all smashers and we don't generally play traditional fighters, but these are going to be random, crazy games that nobody plays. It's a great opportunity for us to have some fun with people from other communities.
- $10 for Singles.
- $10 per teammate for Doubles.
Note: made the above entry fees $10 since it's been a while since we've had a serious tournament here, and I'd like this to be one. If you guys want, we can lower the entry fees above to $5 and keep this more of a simple local thing. I don't imagine we'll draw too much crossover from the traditional FGC either way, though we may turn a couple people off that might have entered for $5. Feel free to let me know what you think by posting below. I'm open to suggestions.

- Non-first party controllers must be inspected by TO staff before use in tourney.

You are responsible for knowing your own character and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
- Standard Dave's Stupid Rule (DSR): You cannot counterpick a stage you have won on in a set unless agreed upon by the opponent.
Note: We are using Standard, not Modified DSR, because there are many more reasonable stages in PM than there are in Melee. Use them plz. - Gentlemen's Clause: You may play by a rule outside of this ruleset if your opponent agrees to it as long as it does not deliberately delay the tournament process. In the event of a disagreement, house rules stand.
