Intro
Show Me Your Moves, the longest running tournament series in the world, is back for its 16th installment on August 29th and 30th this year! The two day tournament featuring Melee, Project M, Smash 4 Wii U, and Smash 64 run by midwest TOs, Ripple and Merza, is being held this year in a brand new venue that boasts 26,000 square feet of room for spectators as well as competitors, gigabit internet to simultaneously provide three streams on Twitch, projectors for every stream for the live crowd, and a full food court in the basement for the convinience of anyone who attends.

There is a Parking garage right across the street from this church. It is free on weekends after 5 on Friday. It goes until 6am Monday morning. and...
Parking at any of the parking meters directly surrounding the venue is FREE on weekends! This includes the red ones in front of the building, all the Meters in the lot to the east of the Union, and the Meters on the sides of the Union! Most of the Meters say enforced 24/7 but I have 100% confirmed that the meters on Illini Union property are not enforced on the weekends. Make sure that you double check the meter if you are parking in public streets!

•Alternate Controllers: The Wii U Gamepad, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo 2DS are banned from use as controllers. All other controllers are acceptable for this event.
READ VERY CAREFULLY: GameCube Controllers are Preferred for tournament use because they are wired direct to the console (GameCube Adapters will be at every station), However Wii-Motes & WiiU Pro Controllers are allowed. WiiU GamePads are banned. If you choose to use a Wireless Controller(Wii-mote,3DS or WiiU Pro Controller) you agree to de-sync & turn off your controller immediately after your match is done & make staff members aware of your wireless controller. Failure to do so which may cause interference in another tournament match will get you disqualified without refund from the Tournament in either Doubles or Singles. This is to prevent wireless controllers from ruining another player's event experience but I would like to allow players to use their preferred controller so they can attend the event.
