Location/Parking
UNCC Student Union GHI Rooms
9201 University City Blvd,
Charlotte, NC 28223-0001
UNCC on google maps
Campus map
Parking map
If you're using a GPS with google maps, typing in the actual deck you'd like to park in (i.e. Union Deck) as your destination will make navigating campus easier. If you are unable to do that I encourage you to look at the maps above ahead of time.
On campus parking is free on weekends (10:00 PM Friday - 8:00 AM Monday). On the map you can see the union deck and lot adjacent to the union. This is the easiest place to park.
The best place to park if you are bringing in setups is the top level of the Union Deck.
Note: there are ATMs in the student union.

^The main entrance, noted by hella columns and a big concrete sign
^Student union, the venue, seen from the front.
^This picture shows a walkway connecting the top level of the deck to the union- this will be the easiest way to bring in setups, short of dropping someone off in front of the union on Craver Road to carry them in.
^Red line route from the main entrance to the parking/venue:
-Straight through 1st roundabout
-Left onto University Road at 1st stop sign
-Right onto Cameron Blvd at 1st light.
-You will hit a stop sign shortly, go straight through the intersection.
-Turn right onto Student Union Lane to access the parking deck.

[/COLLAPSE]
Time constraints for handwarmers and counterpicking (all events):
Handwarmers are allowed before the set starts (not between matches), and are restricted to 60 seconds. Watch the clock, quit out when a minute has passed.
Time between games for counterpicking is limited to 90 seconds. If the counterpicking player has not announced their intent on character switching and stage choice before 90 seconds have passed, their opponent holds the right to start the next match on the stage that was struck to at the beginning of the set, in which case the loser of the last match is character locked.
I realize that these rules will be difficult for TOs to enforce, and the situations they concern are unlikely to frequently present a problem. It is still important to have them in place, to be enforced when necessary, for the sake of completing the event on time. I'm trusting the players here to conform to these rules and counterpick in a timely manner. If your opponent is obviously taking too long or if you suspect they might, please remind them of these rules, watch the clock, and try to get a witness if you think the situation will need to be brought to a TOs attention for the rule to be enforced.
Schedule
11:00: doors open, check-in and registration for all games begins
12:30: Melee doubles & PM registration/check-in ends
1:00: Melee doubles & PM begins [PM matches will only be called for players who did not enter/are eliminated from doubles]
2:30: Melee singles registration/check-in ends
3:00: Melee singles begins
3:00-4:30: Pools wave 1
4:30-6:00: Pools wave 2

This schedule is subject to change until the week of the tournament. In the event we are ahead of schedule and start an event early, you will not be DQ'd until after the time listed on the schedule. An event will only start before the scheduled end of its registration time if it has hit entry cap.
Late Arrival Policy
If you are preregistered and find that you might not be able to arrive until after check-in for your event starts, you will still be placed into bracket if you contact me before the cutoff time. Your match will be treated like any other, with disqualification taking place at the appropriate time. If you are disqualified from winners and show up in time to play in losers, you will still be required to pay normal entry/venue (venue waiver for prereg/setups still applies). However, if you are late and did not contact me about it, you will not be entered into the bracket at all.This prevents us from filling the bracket with non-matches and waiting out full DQ times for players who have no intention of showing up.
Fees/Payouts
$10 event entry
$10 venue fee:
$5 off for preregistering, $3 off for bringing a CRT, $2 off for bringing a console + game.
I really don't want anyone to pay the full venue fee, definitely not more than $5. Preregister!

Preregistration
Registration ends Thursday, April 2nd at 8:00am
Preregister HERE! I don't want anyone to have to pay the $5 door registration! Save yourself some money and help us organize all events to the best of our ability before the tournament even starts. You'll notice the form asks about details like what setups you will be bringing and who you are car pooling with. Please don't hold off on registering if you aren't sure of any of that. There will be an update form that you can fill out if anything changes, and feel free to keep in touch with me as your plans change. The more we know about attendees and resources ahead of time the better, especially about setups.
Sponsors
I'm proud to announce our official sponsor for the event, Save Point Video Games! Thanks to them, everyone who preregisters will be entered into a raffle to win either a MSM5 t-shirt (pictured) or drawstring bag.
Additionally, GCS Gaming Customs will be there and everyone who preregisters will be entered into a raffle for a controller.
