Apex 2014 - January 17th, 2014 - Somerset, NJ - Registration is up! $5,000+ in Prizes

[LLDL]

Yeah at evo every slot in the bracket after bracket pools was pre-determined

 

[Alex Strife]

Not sure if any were added but i just booked one yesterday and they told me to tell anyone else who may be going that there are still some spots on te apex block left.

Hotel just added 10-15 more rooms. Get them now. If they are not there...reserve them and email me at apex.series@gmail.com so I can change them manually.

.....well I don't think reseeding is going to be a thing, at least it wasn't at evo

I can clarify this.

First as to why we are doing the Evo style. As a group we all decided this would help to schedule things better for not just us but for everyone. We set it up so that people know ahead of time what time to show up and be able to have a lot of time to be able to hang out and enjoy the event as a whole. You can do a lot of things outside of tournament matches where you can go to the artist alley to find one of a kind trinkets, play casual games ( DDR Machine, old school, etc ) enter various free contests through-out the day and even play friendlies with anyone you want.

Now why do this? It helps move things along quickly but also add to the experience.

Also for the format it is 100% Evo Style. Schedule will be up tonight.


If you guys have questions you can always e-mail me at apex.series@gmail.com


Sorry for not being on this site enough.

Going to try and get out for this, will try to rally some Australian troops. Is there a contact point for the NJ scene?

Maybe for smash 4 and when I have a full time job

 

[KookyChef]

sooooo pumped melee all the way

 

[smashmachine]

whoa when did Marvel's pot bonus get reduced

 

[Divine Mercy]

So I've never been to a Smash Bros tournament before and just heard about this. Sounds really fun and i'd love to go. Do I have to have gone to these qualifier tournaments before hand though? Or could I just register and participate as is. New to all this. Thanks

 

[Player-1]

Really dislike EVO style bracket pools :/

Qualifiers get you better seeding or something. You can just register and show up, no problem.

You'll have some very tough competition, though, considering this is a national. Good luck!

It did not it is $1,000

 

[Zink Imp]

Quick question to the TOs, the first post in this thread says that all games (besides Smash) will be played on Xbox. However, the registration says that Tekken will be PS3. Which is it?

 

[Alex Strife]

Tekken is PS3

All others are Xbox

 

[smashmachine]

It did not it is $1,000

....huh I swear it said $200 at one point
well anyway that's good

 

[Engo]

*sigh* evo format...

Still not sure if I can go but stuff like that makes me lose interest.

 

[Deleted member]

I also really dislike EVO pools. Its way better to have an actual final 128 or 64 bracket.

Hey youre from MI, me too. I'm pretty sure people from MI are going so if you're interested in learning about carpooling then post in the MI threads! (or join the michigan smash facebook group, let me know if you need links to the threads/group)

Anyone driving down from New York think I could carpool with them? I live in Los Angelos but I'll be flying in from EU (out there for holidays and quite a while visiting my mother) and wanted to see if I could save money by flying into New York instead of back to LA and out to New Jersey.

Hotel just added 10-15 more rooms. Get them now. If they are not there...reserve them and email me at apex.series@gmail.com so I can change them manually.

I just called to the Hotel and they told me I could get the rates of $99/n only for the night of the 16 and the night of 19. I have to pay normal rates of $119/n for the 15, 17 and 18. Are the rooms gone?? That's odd for the rates. They also told me the cutoff is January 4.

 

[Alex Strife]

Yes Jan 4 is the cut off but if you order and get their normal rates I can change it to the 99/night rate

 

[Shiny Mewtwo aka Jigglysir]

Would I be allowed to use this controller in tournament?

 

[Eval]

Yes Jan 4 is the cut off but if you order and get their normal rates I can change it to the 99/night rate

Ok. I will separate a room from 15 to the 20 as soon as my Credit Card arrives. Thanks!

 

[Alex Strife]

when u do let me know i'll set you up.

 

[P.I.E.]

Is there a problem with the links to the apex site? Did I miss anything?

We are having some issues with the server. We are working with them to put it up.

 

[PelorTBH]

Anyone know where I can try to find a carpool down to apex from New york?

 

[Metà]

anyone wanna money match in project m?

 

[9V0lt]

anyone wanna money match in project m?

totes, always up for a good match.

 

[9V0lt]

I hope someone can answer this...

On the Apex website, it says Project M caps at 192, the total entrants available however, is as much as 256. Is this a first come first serve basis for this tournament or has the cap level been raised?

 

[Oracle]

Any project m players have an open spot in their room?

 

[Mew2King]

Yo guys, two things I want to say:

1. I shouldn't advertise

2. I won't again.

 

[BSL]

Sweet, ads

 

[Gardex]

Mew2King, you're living up to your nickname of being a bot

 

[kirbydabest]

when is the registration page going to be back up it's kind of not working for me

 

[Bakuryu]

We are having some issues with the server. We are working with them to put it up.

Will the discount rate for registration be extended since its down?

 

[W.C.N]

The cap raise of pm to 256 is the last and final raise they can do so now it's essentially first come first serve, everyone has their warning and will be left out if they do not make the cut

 

[RingWormTheDestroyer]

Does any one know what age you have to be to check in to the hotel?

 

[Fuzzyness]

Confirmed, see you all there

 

[Jebu-95]

Could someone elaborate on this so called "new" pool system that is used at this Apex?

edit: ok I got it. damn =/
