I. Introduction​

My name is Chi, also known in the community as clowsui. This is the latest installment of events at Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema in Greensboro, North Carolina. Typically Brawl gets entries of 15-25 people, and PM and Melee get around 40-50 people. Individuals of all skill levels come to participate, many of the for the first time; and so far I have never had a dissatisfied customer. So if you live in the NC area and are interested in joining the community, come on out!

II. Venue Information​

Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema, located at 2134 Lawndale Drive, Greensboro, NC, is as you might guess a coffee parlor. The venue owner is interested in showcasing and providing a space for gaming communities in order to show off the positive power of gaming. As we all know, the Smash community is much like a family for all its members. So you might say that this venue is perfect for us. But how about some concrete details about the place?

- 8 TVs already at the venue and available for us to use, meaning we can support up to 30-50 players on their equipment alone provided people bring systems.
- A HUGE amount of floor space

- Food nearby, including Chipotle very close by
- Did I mention delicious beverages available for purchase?

V. Miscellaneous​

- If you came to Melee the day before, you don't have to pay venue for today.
- I actually don't care about DQ'ing people. I'm pretty bad at saying no but I'malso pretty dead set on wanting to get out as early as possible. You should be too. Crews and side events are fun, and so is going out to eat.
- Try to take cool photographs at this event and post them up afterwards through IG/FB etc. If we see a lot, there will be chances for venue reduction too.

- Re: schedule. I obviously don't expect everything to go perfectly, but in the end all the shorter/longer matches should balance out and the small breaks that people take will balance out also. Trust me.
- Please be responsible and respectful. Smokers (of all kinds), please USE COMMON SENSE.
