Smash Apprentice
Seasons greetings! It's time for yet another After Hours tourney! We've yet to determine a date, and will do so at a later point, but we are currently accepting signups. Read on to learn how to join! A bracket will be posted once the tournament is full.
What is After Hours?
After Hours is primarily a series of game tournaments, and while for now only on Smash 3DS, we are looking to branch out into other games VERY soon. We are also looking into streaming, YouTube, and other special events. Most of our tourneys and events, though, all take place late at night, generally on a weekend, when many people are home, free from the busy obligations of work and school. The After Hours team consists of myself, @ SlapChop44 , and our offsite friend who mostly appears just on streams.
The Leaderboard
Due to the fact that many After Hours tournaments contain special rulesets not used for other tourneys, we have decided to keep our own leaderboard across ALL of the different games that we will eventually offer tournaments in. Each season (more info about this will follow), the leaderboard is reset and the top spots are once again up for grabs. After Hours III is the final tournament of the first season. While the scoring system for this tourney has yet to be announced, the current leaderboard and points for each participant are listed below, with the roman numerals in parentheses indicating which tourney(s) the person has won:
1. DrLobster (I,II): 30 Points
2. Chaineblood: 23 Points
3. Teknology: 12 Points
4. Retrosleep: 11 Points
5. Soul: 5 Points
5. Wobbie831: 5 Points
6. LukeDuke: 3 Points
6. miracleJester: 3 Points
6. Flubfrey: 3 Points
6. Anomalous Adam: 3 Points
6. imbatman94: 3 Points
6. BulborbAdventurer: 3 Points
7. Rend4125: 1 Point
For those at the bottom of or not on the leaderboard, do not worry, for we will have ways for you to climb to the top throughout this tournament.
Seasons
This tournament, After Hours III, will be the end of Season 1. We have decided that, approximately once a year, we will wipe the leaderboard at the end of each "season" to allow for an even playing field the next season. Those who placed in the top percentage will be rewarded for their accomplishments though, and will receive a small amount of bonus points for the start of the next season.
After Hours MVP
Preceding the finals games in the last tournament of each season, we will announce our MVP for that season. The MVP is someone who is active in our community (on here, Skype, and in the future possibly on Twitch and YouTube), participates often in tournaments and events, and performs well in these tournaments. This season's MVP candidates were @ Chaineblood , @ Retrosleep , @BulborbAdventurer, and @ DrLobster . We are proud to announce Season 1's finalists, Chaineblood and DrLobster! The MVP will receive bonus leaderboard points at the beginning of Season 2, possibly along with a few special privileges.
Tournament Rules
-This will be a more standard tournament. It will be the first After Hours to be DOUBLE ELIMINATION.
-We will decide on a participant limit at a later date, but for now it is looking like 32.
-Everyone is permitted to using ONE character for the entire duration of the tournament.
-All matches will be best of 3, 2 stock, 5 minutes.

-YOU MUST SIGN UP USING THE FOLLOWING TEMPLATE. Remove the parentheses and place your info there. Here is the template (Just copy and paste it, even if you have competed in an After Hours tournament before you must still fill one out):
(SB Username) | (3DS Friend Code) | (Skype Username)
-Skype is required to participate in the tournament, as it is our main form of communication once the tourney begins. Once you sign up, you will be added to the After Hours skype group. If you would like, you may stay in the group or leave after the tourney. Leaving before the tourney will result in disqualification. Many discussions and announcements take place in the group in between tourneys.
