Nintendude
Smash Hero
December 5, 2014
Arlington, VA
After two seasons of successful high turnout events, Smash @ Clarendon is hosting MD/VA's first ever Arcadian tournament. For this event, our ranked players will be stepping aside to make way for new players and rising stars to battle it out for the title! If you are a new player, this is an amazing opportunity to gain experience!
Ranked players are still encouraged to come for happy hour and then stay to spectate, play casuals to help new players, and cheer on the participants. As incentive for ranked players to come, if you show up before 9 pm your first drink will be provided complementary of DC eSports.
We ask that ranked players please do not use the stream setup for casuals.

Transportation:
Hard Times is located literally across the street from Clarendon Metro Station on the orange line. For those of you driving in from Fairfax County, you can park at one of the orange line stations and take the metro in, or you can try to find street parking around the venue. If you can't find parking there are plenty of parking garages within a couple blocks of the venue. We recommend the garage at 3101 Wilson Boulevard which costs $4 to park for the evening.

Games:
Melee will be the featured game at this event, but other games (including non-Smash games) are certainly welcome. If you'd like to play another game here just bring a setup for it and you're good to go.
Happy Hour:
$5 GIANT Mugs all night (Thursdays)
Beat The Clock Special: Domestic Bottles $1 from 4-7 pm, $1.25 from 7-8 pm, and $1.50 from 8-9 pm (Fridays)
Happy Hour specials until 8 pm
NO UNDERAGE DRINKING. People under 21 are allowed in the venue but there will be very strict and harsh punishments for any participants who break this rule, including expulsion from the event and all future events. Do not risk us losing this great venue.
Schedule:
6:30 pm - Happy Hour / Casuals
7:30 pm - Sign-ups for Melee Singles ends. Tournament begins.
12:00 am - Tournament ends.
~1:30 am - Venue closes. People are welcome to stay and play until closing.
There will be at least one setup available for casual play during the whole duration of the event. 10:30 pm is a very conservative end time unless we get a large number of entrants. For those of you who wish to compete and then get on with the rest of your evening out, we should be done well before that.
Setups:
DC eSports is providing 4 full setups. We understand that this location may not be very convenient to bring setups to, but we would greatly appreciate any effort whatsoever to bring TVs and Gamecubes.
Controller Rentals:
While we strongly encourage BYOC, we will be renting official Nintendo brand controllers (while supplies last) to those of you who do not bring one. You must bring an ID to rent a controller. This is in anticipation of many random people stopping by due to the busy downtown location of Hard Times Clarendon. We are hoping to see many new faces stop by for some Smash.
Prices:
Venue fee - NONE. NO VENUE FEE!
Controller Rental - $3 all evening
Melee Singles - $5
We accept credit card for all transactions (add 3% fee).
Melee Ruleset:
Apex 2014 Rules
[collapse="Additional Rules"]
- Player’s Choice 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.
- Neutral Spawn Points: Players may elect to use neutral spawn points to decide controller ports for the first match in case of any disputes.
- Pausing the game shall only be legal while either player remains upon their OWN respawn platform, and only for the purpose of summoning a staff member or in the case of a controller malfunction. All other pauses will incur a stock loss to the player who pauses the game.
- Any coaching that happens during the match (but not in between matches) is restricted. Players who violate this rule will receive a warning (BOTH the player AND the person coaching the player) on the first attempt. Players who violate this rule after a warning will be disqualified from the event and a possible ejection from the venue.
- Any attempt at intentionally rigging the bracket, splitting, etc. throughout the duration of any event will not only result in disqualification from your match, but also forfeiture of any winnings you may have earned, and a one tournament suspension.

In lieu of a venue fee, 20% of the pot will be going to DC eSports. The remaining money will be allocated to the winners as follows:
