is this tournament still also going to be hosted on the 27th of December? I went to the one last month on the 29th and had a great time and was wondering if there is going to be another one any time soon?

Glad to hear that. The next tournament will likely be on Jan. 24th. Still need to confirm that. Though if you're interested in a smaller event in the meantime, check out my Wednesday night weekly events at Mad River https://www.facebook.com/events/594841533954687/

That's good to hear but there's only two weeks left for the Wednesday league before the top 8 tournament. You can still come to the top 8 for friendlies or a small tournament. We'll see next year if we'll continue doing the league or not.

May I ask why you have such a limited stagelist for Smash Wii U?

I see you have Delfino Legal, but not Skyloft or Wuhu Island? That's very strange. Also, where is Duck Hunt? The stage works perfectly good for tournament play (I know personally since we run it in all of our Hypest Tournaments).

Any explanation on this?

That's what the Chicago players voted on doing for the previous tournament we had last week. I may change it for the upcoming tournament. I'd like to see what stages other organizers use and consider other stages to include.

I should totally link you to the results from the /r/smashbros stage legality poll. We had over 400 people respond with what stages they thought should be legal, and it's very close to the stagelist we run which made me excited. Plus the thread here on smashboards that link goes to is the stage discussion thread, you can learn all about all of the stages and teach folks in Chicago about them too so you can make an informed decision.

I'm seriously happy to hear you're open t suggestions, thanks a ton for not closing yourself off from suggestions like some TOs do :)

Nice I might come to this. I live in the northern suburbs so I'm planning on using the train if I go. Where will it be held? Will it be somewhat close to Union Station?

Thanks :)

Good to hear guys. Thanks for pointing out the time issue. Only the date is set now, but still need to finalize everything else. Also, we'll probably be doing pre-registration for this event and the link for that will be posted here once that's ready.

Do you think that it would be possible for SD Remix to be played at one of your tournaments?
I understand it might not be played so much, and it might be a bit troublesome to install, but could it be possible to be played?

It wouldn't be allowed for tournament play. If someone brought it for free play that would be fine.

Because it would be too difficult to get that on every setup and the easier solution is to keep everything vanilla. Also it would throw off players not used to SD remix and be a disadvantage to anyone that didn't prepare for it. It wouldn't work for a tournament of this size. If there was a small event or gathering that would be more acceptable.

Yeah, that bit bugged out for me last night, not sure if it was an isolated incident or not.

What happened when you went to the site? It might have been when I was making a few modifications. Let me know if it's still not working.

Only Mii's are not allowed and no custom moves. I'll post the rules from the previous tournament and they most likely be the same, but we may add a few more counterpick stages. Also we most likely will change it to 3 stock and 8 minutes.

Click to expand...
As of now just a few, but most people won't be signing up until the last few days or the day of. We estimate over 40 players for Melee based on the last 2 tournaments that had over 40.
