Project M has been added as a side event. We need as many FULL SETUPS as possible for that, so please speak up if you can bring one. Remember, your venue fee is waived if you bring a full setup for any game (Melee, Project M, or SSB64).
Hm. This would have been good to know a couple weeks before hand, rather than a couple days. Would have love to come out to this, otherwise, but I don't see it happening.

I couldn't confirm Project M until I had a TO who could run it, sorry. It's 100% happening at this though, looking forward to it.

OH needs to let me know if they need rides, I'm down to drive to this.

Important Announcement:

As some of you are aware, EVO 2013 is having a donation drive competition to determine what the final featured game will be at EVO 2013 this summer -- whichever community donates the most money towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation will have their game featured at the event. The deadline for this donation drive competition is January 29th, and Super Smash Bros. Melee is currently trailing Skullgirls by a narrow margin.

With that said, I'm increasing the venue fee for this tourney to $10, and ALL MONEY that results from this additional venue fee will be donated to the Melee at EVO 2013 fund. This is because I think having Melee at EVO is just that important, and it's the best investment we could make for the game and the community that we love.

I hope the additional $5 is not a dealbreaker for anyone who planned on attending, but I'm absolutely certain this is in the best interest of the Melee community and that donating is the most important thing we can do right now. You have my word on this course of action -- I'll post a receipt of the donation that results from the additional venue fee at this tourney. Last but not least, if you bring a FULL SETUP to the tourney, you will still get your venue fee waived.

If you'd like more information about the Melee at EVO fund including the current standings, visit this thread on Smashboards: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=332276

If you'd like to donate towards the Melee at EVO fund ahead of time, visit this page: https://www.wepay.com/donations/evo2013-ssbm

Looks like a lot of Ohio is coming to this. Odd though, seeing as how lately they aren't even attending their own tournaments >_>

Yo snuggleguy, after this one could you let me know on Facebook ASAP when the date for next one your hosting is? I wanna go. But I can't make this one. Thanks either way!
Also I don't get on smashboards as much that's why I'm asking

^ Ohio sucks man =( Hanky said all he does is play break the targets!
Yeah, OH does suck dude. Columbus never travels anywhere cause they're lame. And the rest of Northeastern Ohio is just flakey. That's why I'm really surprised that so many people are planning on attending this tournament.

I'm coming to this and bringing a couple people with me. For 64. So I need verification that its for sure happening . If anyone needs a ride, I'm going from Lansing to aa. Anywhere in between is fine. I'm not coming in time for Melee though

OH doesn't host events anywhere near the quality of Juggleguy's

Sorry for the delay. I've updated the original post with rulesets for Project M and Smash 64. We'll also have paper copies of the rulesets available on Saturday so nobody gets confused.

SWEET has always been a Melee series hosted by a Melee TO.

Although, Rob has considered hosting a Melee & Brawl local in the future.

I'm sure this was probably a joke, but if you really are going to go out of state vs going to a local 10-15 minutes from your house, which by the way, happens every month, then that's just plain dumb dude.

Of course 64 is happening. Gio is TOing and I have a couple others who are bringing setups -- but we need more just in case, because I'm not sure how many UM locals will show up. Can you guys bring 64 setups to this?

Xzax, no Brawl at this one because there's just too much to host on one day already, but the next SWEET (Feb 9th) will have Brawl included.

There will only be one stream, and more than likely it will have all the events on it. At the very least, Melee doubles, singles, and PM. However, it all depends on if Roki is attending or not, should anything random bar him from coming.
