Tournament organized by Nick Ewing, myself, and members of UNCC's FGC student organization
Facebook event page
To contact me: 828.577.5503 - Facebook - or just message me here on smashboards

Location/Parking
UNCC Student Union GHI Rooms
9201 University City Blvd,
Charlotte, NC 28223-0001
UNCC on google maps
Campus map
Parking map

If you're using a GPS with google maps, typing in the actual deck you'd like to park in (i.e. Union Deck) as your destination will make navigating campus easier. If you are unable to do that I encourage you to look at the maps above ahead of time.
On campus parking is free on weekends (10:00 PM Friday - 8:00 AM Monday). On the map you can see the union deck and lot adjacent to the union. This is the easiest place to park.

Note: there are ATMs in the student union.

VERY CRUCIAL MAP/PICTURES:



^The main entrance, noted by hella columns and a big concrete sign


^Student union, the venue, seen from the front.


^This picture shows a walkway connecting the top level of the deck to the union- this will be the easiest way to bring in setups, short of dropping someone off in front of the union on Craver Road to carry them in.


^Red line route from the main entrance to the parking/venue:
-Straight through 1st roundabout
-Left onto University Road at 1st stop sign
-Right onto Cameron Blvd at 1st light
-Parking (union deck/lot) are on the right


Pre-Registration
Pre-registration page
This time pre-registration is free online only. Instead of paying online, all you need to do is submit a form with your information. If the events you enter are consistent with the form, $1 is waived from your venue fee.
Having the majority of participants submit this form can be very important to the success of the tournament. The more we know ahead of time how many entrants we have, the more preemptively we can plan the format, which means less down time between registration and bracket. I really need you guys help here.

Fees/Payouts
$3 venue fee: $1 off for pre-registering, $1 off for bringing a CRT, $1 off for bringing a console + game.
$5 Brawl/Melee/Project M singles
Payouts will be 60/25/15 split of the pot, subject to change pending attendance.

Rules
The Apex rule set will be used for Melee, Brawl, and Project M


Dining
FREE FOOD will be provided through an event grant by Chart Wells, starting at 5:00. This a decent meal (meat/vegetables etc. as opposed to something like pizza), buffet style.

Additional dining options, for lunch:
On Campus: (Campus map)
Student Union:
Wendy's (10:30 AM - 12:30 AM)
Mama Leone's Pizza (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM)
Outtakes (snacks, sandwiches, etc.) (10:30 AM - 12:30 AM)
Prospector:
Chick Fil A (10:30 AM - 3:30 PM)
Off CampusCookout
Chipotle[/COLOR]
IHOP

Schedule
A detailed schedule will be posted soon. For now I can say that doors will open at 11:00am and registration/check in will probably end at 1:00pm.

Setups/Attendance
We need setups! Knowing ahead of time how many setups we will have helps tremendously with planning, PLEASE be helpful and communicate your intention to bring a setup :chuckle:
Also make sure to RSVP to the event!

If you like, I'd offer my services for anything except P:M (Since that's my main event). I've got loads of experience running big events and whatnot (TO for the Smash Carolina series). I'd be happy to run Melee or Brawl pending my venue fee was covered.

I have a Wii + game I can bring w/ HDMI converter if you'd like. Not sure how you feel about an HDMI converter, but the option is there if you want.
Most people probably wouldn't want to play tournament matches on it. Bringing the console would be appreciated for sure though.

That's fine. Just figured I would offer just incase we were low on CRTs for some reason. I can supply a console regardless though. On a side note, any good practice sessions between now and the tourney on or near the UNCC campus? Thursdays or Fridays specifically would be ideal.

Yeah, there are regular tournaments at UNCC on Friday nights. They were biweekly last year; looks like there's 2 coming up on September 5th and 12th.

Check out this group.

How much of an issue would it be if I brought a CRT and Wii + PM, but I had to leave around 6 or 7 with them?

FYI, I believe he's had a change of plans and will no longer be there.

That'd be great. No problem.

I pre-registered under the tag name Bash, and i just wanted to give a heads up that I may not be going, plans have changed and there is a very good chance i won't be there, I said I'd bring a setup and if I can't I'd at least like to let you know so that there's no surprises, my apologies in advance
