Smash Champion
San Diego Winter Game Fest IV
UCSD Winter Game Fest 2009
The Smash segment at the UCSD WGF has been the most successful event in San Diego tournament history. WGFII had 100 entrants, WGFIII had 177, and with the increased attendance of Brawl WGFIV is projected to have well over 200 players, possibly breakin 300. With sponsors such as Bawls, Microsoft, Steel Series, The Office Game, and more we've secured a guaranteed $4,000 pot. In addition to Smash, there will be tournaments for: Halo 3, CoD 4, GH3, Rockband, StarCraft, DotA, CS and several fighters for friendlies. All other tournaments can be entered free of charge.
WHO:
All the best players from California, and a grip of eager amateurs hoping to prove themselves. Out of State competition is MORE than welcome to come as well.
WHAT: One of the first SoCal Brawl majors. I have a venue secured for two days, complete with: security, tech staff, 20 TVs, a projector, and a 20 ft screen. Smash at Winter Game Fest IV is third iteration of the largest, most successful San Diego tournament franchise.

COURTESY:
San Diego is happy place, lets keep it that way. Refrain from all fights and serious arguments, you guys know how to behave. Throw away your trash and respect our campus. Be sure to SHOWER and wear deodorant too. Nothing worse than a room filled with sweaty gamers.
TVS AND WIIs:
UCSD Sixth College Tech Committee can provide us with 20 TVs as well as a projector. We must provide our own Wiis, so we will need A LOT of Wiis. The venue has security, so hopefully theft won't be an issue. The target goal is 28 TVs to all of SoCal. Those who bring a full set-up will be given a $5.00 discount from singles. Be warned though, if you bring a TV please expect to stay until the end of day 2. We can't afford to have people taking TVs home in the middle of the tournament. Even if you are eliminated in day one, there are plenty of other games and exciting matches to watch or participate in.
PLEASE BRING TVS AND WIIS
