When: Saturday April 7th, 2007

Where: University of Chicago
5445 S. Ingleside Ave.
Chicago, IL 60615

We're two blocks north of the university campus. Our building looks like this:




Time: We want to get the doubles started by 2 p.m., singles will follow about an hour after that. People should mostly arrive between 12:30 p.m. - 2 p.m., if you come early you can either help us set up or play friendlies until we start. It will run as long as it needs to, but hopefully not too long.

If you want to play doubles though, you MUST be here by then. Singles will start promptly after doubles are done.



Cost: $5 singles, $10 team ($5 per person in team)

*note: We only have 3 tv's here, but we have spaces available for around 10. First 3 people to bring tv's don't have to pay for singles. We also need gamecubes and such since we only have two systems, so first three people to bring systems get free singles as well.

*We strongly suggest you all bring your own controllers, but if you don't have any we do have some you may borrow.


Prizes: 1st place will get 60%, 2nd gets 30%, 3rd gets 10%


Tournament:

Stages:
-Singles-
Neutral Stages (Stages on Random Select): Yoshi's Story, Rainbow Cruise, Fountain of Dreams, Pokemon Stadium, Battlefield, Final Destination, and Dream Land 64

Banned Stages: Icicle Mountain, Termina Bay, Flat Zone, Hyrule Temple, Venom, Brinstar Depths, Fourside, and Yoshi's Island 64.

=Doubles=
Neutral Stages (Stages on Random Select): Yoshi's Story, Rainbow Cruise, Pokemon Stadium, Battlefield, Final Destination, and Dream Land 64

Banned Stages: Icicle Mountain, Fountain of Dreams, Flat Zone, Hyrule Temple, Venom, Mute City, Mushroom Kingdom, Brinstar Depths, Fourside, Big Blue, and Yoshi's Island 64.

- Items will be off

- Double elimination

- 4 stock matches, 8 minute limit
Regular matches will be best 2 out of 3. Finals will be best 3 out of 5.


- For Doubles, Team Attack will be on.

- Advanced Slob Picks: The loser of the previous round gets to pick the stage, then the winner chooses a character. The loser then chooses a character.

- Double Blind Pick: At any point during character selection, a double blind pick may be called, in which each person must tell their character choice to P before the match starts. Whichever character is told to P will be the character they must play as.

- Trash talking is fine, as long as you do it in jest, otherwise you may get kicked out if you have a bad attitude.


If I missed anything you would like to know about, let me know. Otherwise, I hope to see the lot of you here on April 7th.

You might want to take Fountain of Dreams off doubles so people don't complain.

I'd check it out. I'm sure it'd get a decent turnout since it's in the Chi-town area.

Sounds interesting, but you should really make some time (about 30mins) between doubles and singles for some food or soemthing. People can get irritated if they have to play so many matches back to back.

I should have clarified that. We will probably have an hour break from when doubles end to the beginning of singles.

Playing Smash for money is considered gambling and is illegal on any university campus.
No, it won't help your cause to ask permission to do so, since the University has policies in place preventing such events from occurring, however; it's not considered gambling if the prizes won are not $. Sadly this will deter many people's interest in such an event.

If this is held in a public place on campus, I'd highly recommend a location change due to risk of discovery.

We are off campus. We just go here and live a block off campus. It was easier for us to say the location that way.

Here's the space we have. It's not that big, but we'll be moving all the game tables (pool, air hockey, etc.) our and put in little tables for the tvs and cubes. We also have plenty of chairs.

EDIT: Those pictures were annoying...

Awesome, I'll be going to this for sure

Also, I do have a cube I can bring with me, but it has been somewhat unreliable lately with disc errors popping up sometimes before and after a match (never in between, thankfully). Consider it a last minute opportunity, should there be a huge shortage of cubes.

Alright, looks like we will have a decent turnout. I updated the first page a bit. Guests/possible guests and such.

Also, if anyone is interested, my friends made a facebook group if you have a facebook and want to join:
