- If a doubles game goes to time, the team with more collective stocks will be the victor. If stocks are even, the team with the least collective percent is victorious. If collective percent is even, the game will go to a 2-stock, 5 minute game with the same characters and stage.

Doubles will be at future BIO's don't worry. We are simply getting a feel for our new venue so we can run smoothly the first time.

Hey guys big change: The event is now being held in the Ferguson Student Center rooms 3107 and 3108. This isn't too big of a deal because it's about 10 steps away from the old venue but it's important that you know!

Also important: Smash 4 now starts at 5pm and Project M at 2:30pm. Thanks!

I got the all clear to run doubles at BIO. It will not be advertised on the main page of BIO because it is not officially apart of the tournament, but it will be there. I will begin signups around 3:00 and I will start the tournament around 3:30. It will be just like a normal doubles tournament, e.g: 3 Stock, 8 Minutes, normal stage striking, picks and bans, etc. It will be a $5 entry fee with no venue fee. If you want to participate, but do not have a partner please let me know. I will find someone for you!
