Atlantic North UMW Smash Project M Bi-weekly!

NOTE: We are trying out a new venue! We will be in the University Center, room 306. The UC is the big building on the intersection between Rowe St and College Ave.

University of Mary Washington Smash Club has started hosting Smash Bi-weeklies! Anyone (don't have to be a student of the university) is welcome to enter or just watch/play friendlies. Registration takes place at the event. All skill levels are welcome. It is a double elimination bracket which means you have to lose two sets to be eliminated.

$2 entry fee for Singles. 0$ venue fee!

I really want to merge the UMW smash community with the Fredericksburg smash community since we're so small. If you can bring a CRT set up that would be much appreciated, we have enough but the more setups the more friendlies we can run.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I haven't even considered going to another venue because these tournaments are the greatest ones i have ever been to.

Can a 15 year old enter the tournament?

I'm sorry I didn't reply to this, for some reason Smashboards didn't give me a notification. Yes, there is no age requirement for our events.

Another great event last week (18 PM entrants and 28 Melee entrants)! Our last bi-weekly will be this SATURDAY, December 5th. Notice that this event will not be on a Sunday as they have in the past due to us having finals week start next week.

I'll see you all there!

Thanks everyone that came out to our last bi-weekly of the semester. We'll be back in January.

See you all next year!

Is it happening on the 31st of January? I have a tight schedule and that's the only day in January I can go.

Hey, sorry for the late response. We will be having our next tournament on January 23rd and not on January 31st. The next one after would probably be February 6th.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to the snowstorm, there will not be a bi-weekly this Saturday. We'll be back in 2 weeks.

Due to time constraints, there will be no PM at our bi-weekly this Saturday. Melee doubles, melee singles, and smash 4 only.

Hi, since the University will still be on break this weekend, we will not be able to host our bi-weekly this Saturday. We will be moving our Melee and Smash 4 bi-weekly to Saturday 3/12.

That said, I will be back on campus this Saturday so I will be hosting a Melee and PM tourney in my apartment. I don't have too much room so I'll have to limit the turnout to something I feel comfortable with. If you're interested in coming on Saturday just shoot me a message or comment and I'll invite you. If you're one of the people that commutes for our tournament then it's probably not worth driving down for, but I won't stop you as long as you message me first.

I want to start Melee around 6:00pm, PM after.

Good news! We will be hosting Project M singles this Saturday, 3/12. Starting around 3:00.

We are trying out a new venue! We will be in the University Center, room 306. The UC is the big building on the intersection between Rowe St and College Ave.

No PM this Saturday. We will only have Melee and Smash 4.

Another bi-weekly will be this Saturday! We will have Melee, PM, and Smash 4 this time.
