This event is a big sponsored event by King of the Couch. Info on the group is here at NJHALO.COM there will be lots of other games here as well. Back years ago everyone went to a KOTC event and had a great time. I decided that it was time we had this relationship renewed.

As far as the venue it is HUGE. It is a giant park, think new ROC CITY, and has lots of things to do while you wait for the matches to be called. Here are some vids of the venue

In the event of a TIE at the end of the time limit, the player with the most stocks wins. If both players have one stock then it is decided by percentage. If both players have ONE STOCK and SAME PERCENTAGE the players will quit the SUDDEN DEATH, set the stock to one, and start a match with stage being the same as where they had the tie. This will determine the winner.

Each Round is best of three matches; Grand/Losers/Winners Finals are best of five matches*

Singles seeding will be random with some courtesy to crews – you will be spaced evenly as to prevent playing each other in the first round. One of the two criteria must be fulfilled in ordered to be favored. You MUST have 3 or more people in a group hailing from the same region, or you must be part of a crew. Teams seeding will be done randomly.

I'll try to make it. More importantly, I suggest this list be implemented at all NY/NJ tournies, because it TOTALLY doesn't make my character easy mode.

this is not replacing the VC series I am moving those to a nearby hotel. This is just something to get some official sponsorship going for everyone xD


For example did you know that For example did you know that gears of war had MANY vvv teams.

no johns about the 12 buck venue fee. Bring a setup and come early and that way you pay less than you normally do. Also, this is a business and they have to make money. I am making nothing and helping them out so that , in the future, they can help us if needed.

No complaining about it period.

I'm not complaining about the venue fee since it's my choice whether I go or not. I do however have a few questions. It says it's being sponsored but with such a high venue fee aren't the players really paying for it all anyway? Also, is it $3 off per Wii/TV, or $3 off for a full setup?

$3 off for tv or wii either or.

KOTC is providing a huge venue. The venue is basically the size of pound 4 and I am getting it at a discount. On top of that there is just a lot you can do outside of smash so I never saw an issue with $12 its fair to them and me imo.

I didn't know there would be a problem with the fees. They seem fine. Maybe it's because I don't go to many tournaments, but they seem fine to me...

Everyone should know I do not do pools unless I am 100% sure the venue will not cause issues. The venue closes at around 1130ish and I am starting early. I rather just be in and out vs anything else. Afterwards you guys can play friendlies all you want.

People sandbag in pools and messes up seeding a lot also. I don't care about pool matches at all usually get a bad seed unless its a national scale tournament and it wastes a lot of time
