Smash Lord
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we've been talking about getting a regular regional series around Cincinnati for a while. We've got a super awesome and friendly local scene, full of motivated players who want to compete. Following Cincinnati Smash Forever, we've opted to split this into two events, each running bimonthly. This particular event will include both Melee and Project M, singles and doubles, hosted at the very awesome Arcade Legacy inside the Cincinnati Mall!
Fees and Preregistration
For logistical reasons, and so we can get people more comfortable with the idea because it's starting to become an inevitability (damn smash community keeps growing outta control), entry to this event will be by pre-registration only. You can sign up here. Money will be collected at the door.
Registration will close on Thursday, March 19th, so be sure to sign up by then!
Fees will include:
Pools and Waves
In order to make it easier for players to know where they're supposed to be at any given time, while also ensuring that we use as many setups as possible, all events will be divided into two waves, which will play at specific times and eliminate down to small final brackets. After registration closes, we will compose the waves and post schedules for all players, letting you know where you need to be and exactly what time. Schedules will be rigidly enforced. If your wave starts, and you're not present for it, you will be disqualified. With this many events in one day, we don't have any time for nonsense. :O
Doubles pools will consist of two bracket pools for each game. The top 2 teams from each will emerge for a 4-team final bracket, with the 2nd-place team from each side beginning in losers'. You are encouraged, but not required, to team with the same person in both doubles events, should you choose to enter both. This will help us reduce collision drastically, so please consider it.
Singles pools will be round-robin if possible, but may be changed to bracket pools depending on the turnout. They will eliminate down to 16 or 32 players.
