Hey, guys!! Louisiana is hosting a big tournament called the South Louisiana Major (SLAM 2017) on April 1st (not an April Fool's joke) and we want you guys to come out and play. We have both Melee and Smash 4 here both with a $200 and $300 Pot Bonus respectively. We also have pot bonuses for other games such as SFV and KoFXIV totaling to about $2,000 so far (there will be more to come). We have a good hotel with good space and good food in the area as well. There are also a good number of players that will offer up possible housing. Let us know if you're interested!! Hope to see y'all there!!

Tell me the new ruleset isn't legalized in AL

 

[MegahogX]

Tell me the new ruleset isn't legalized in AL

It is

 

[smbmaster99MFGG]

regionals and majors are going to adapt to this new ruleset. While I'm not exactly in agreement with stuff that this new ruleset has on it, our state would be doing those of us who travel or want to travel a disservice and improperly preparing us for these events if we didn't abide by it.

Here is a link to our Alabama Smash 4 Discord:

[LilBigham]

Most of them have both Melee and Smash 4, along with Project M if I'm not mistaken. For more information on stuff like this I would recommend the Discord above since not a lot of people use Smashboards anymore

 

[Hikaro22]

We also have Neal Down, the Melee and Pm biweekly, on Wednesday in Anniston, AL.

Since this thread is more or less dead, I think it'd be a good idea for whoever is in charge to update it with the Alabama Smash and Alabama Smash 4 Discord links. It might attract a new player or two if they see it, since that's where our scene pretty much lives now.

Moogle is update king, just provide him with link and he'll do it. He's been quite good at keeping that first page on point since way back

Hello, I just recently joined the smashboards (been a smash fan for a long time, haha), and I was wondering:
What events [big, small, etc.] are there in AL? I reside in the northern-central parts of the state, but I can be slightly flexible in where to go.
I play Smash 4 and Brawl mostly. I used to play Melee, but that was a long time ago.
I've never been to a Smash event, so I would like a run-down in rules and such (do I need to bring my own controller, how to register, etc.). Or, if there is a reference I can use to learn the rules, where can I find it? [Never mind, I found the rulesets page.]. However, where is the ruleset for Smash4? It seemed there was a lack of one.

Thank you very much in advance.

 

[smbmaster99MFGG]

There's HASL/vsHSV in Huntsville, at UAH, usually located in the Charger Union unless stated otherwise on its facebook page. It's on the 3rd Saturday of every month. Smash 4 starts at roughly 5 PM

Birmingham Brawl is on the 4th Saturday of every month, but it's on hiatus until May or June unless i'm mistaken? The venue is at 926 Oak Grove Rd, Birmingham, AL 35209-6916. Smash 4 starts at roughly 5 PM last i attended one.

Magic City Smash in Birmingham at UAB in Heritage Hall, on the first and third sunday of each month. It too is on hiatus however until Birmingham Brawl starts back up iirc. Smash 4 starts at 4 PM, or at least it did last time i attended.

You should bring your own controller, but some events will offer spares to be rented for a small charge. However not all tournaments do this, so you're encouraged to bring your own controller. To register for a tournament, just arrive any time before the tournament is supposed to start. Tournaments will almost always start about 30 minutes late so that the TO's can build the bracket(s). If you want to register, locate the TO and tell them what you wish to register for, and put your name down and what game you're there to play, and pay the fee. They'll take care of the rest.

As for rules, the following is the Birmingham Brawl ruleset, but it's pretty much enforced in the rest of the big Alabama tournaments:

I highly encourage you to join the Alabama Smash 4 Discord server! Here you will find any additional info that you need and people willing to play, talk, and just have a good time.

Thank you both for the informative responds. I do have my own controller, so I'm good on that end.
It's a shame a couple of the seemingly bigger events are on hiatus, and I just missed the UAH smash event, but I guess that just gives me more time to practice, so it's not that big a deal.
Two more question: are there entry fees for the events that were listed? and;
Are there any prerequisites for entering HASL/vsHSV? (which I did just a bit of research on just now)

Lastly, I did join the Discord, not too long ago. My username is exactly the same on Discord as here.

EDIT: Read the ruleset, just one random question. Why is Sheik/Game and Watch a banned team set up?

There are actually 2 discords. One which is the official "Alabama Smash Discord" and one that is the "Alabama Smash 4 Discord". You joined the former, but I highly recommend you join the latter. Both discords are great, but the latter is much more Smash 4 focused. Also this thread is mostly dead because everyone has moved on to communicating through discord. We talk there daily and would love to have you. This link will expire in 24 hours from this post so PM me if you don't join in time: https://discord.gg/3nfEa

All of the events that I'm aware of have a $5 entry fee per event. So singles would be $5 per person and doubles would be $10 per team. There are no prerequisites for joining a tournament. Just try to get there at least 30 minutes before the event starts and find the TO (Tournament Operator, aka the guy in charge). There should be a desk or a guy with a laptop that will indicate that he is the TO. If you can't find him then just ask around and most people would love to help. Once you find the TO just tell him what events you want to enter and pay him $5 per event. You will be entered into the bracket and now you are free to do whatever you want until the tournament starts. I would highly recommend playing friendlies with anyone you can (make sure the setups you are using aren't currently being used for tournament). We are a friendly group. If you get destroyed by someone then don't lose heart. Any good player will tell you that the number 1 way to improve is through entering tournaments constantly and playing friendlies. If you are significantly better than your opponent then try being helpful and give advice. If you have any other questions feel free to ask here or on the discord (although I'd recommend joining the discord I linked you. We are very friendly).

So glad to see that northern Alabama isn't extinct of competitive smash players
-my best friend and I are attending UAH in the fall, can't wait to see what competition we can face
-we do smash 4, but love to spectate melee as well
This is the best news I've had all day
