A few last things that need to be detailed:

• Venue Fee Discounts : Bringing a CRT TV or HD TV with no console does not merit a discount
• _________________ : Bringing a Wii or a Gamecube alone does not merit a discount
• _________________ : Bringing a Wii U Waives your venue fee
• _________________ : Bringing a full set up ( TV + Console + Game) waives entire fee
• Please be respectful of the venue and throw away all trash.
• Be a responsible human being in general as this is our first time running a large event at this venue and we want to make a healthy impression for the benefit of the smash scene in general.
• Bring your own controller. If you have a Gamecube adapter for the Wii U it would be nice if you could also bring that as there is no guarantee we will have enough without your help.

*PLEASE BRING SET UPS. NO SET UPS = NO SMASH BROTHERS. WE WILL HAVE A FEW TO START WITH BUT WE NEED THE COMMUNITY TO PITCH IN*
Though we ask of you to bring set ups, the venue nor the Tournament Organizers are responsible for your personal
equipment, we will provide safety precautions such as zip ties and an equipment sign in / sign out sheet but it is your job to walk in with a Wii and walk out with the same one. ​

Hey there @ Goodin ! I was looking over your stagelist for Wii U and as a fellow TO I was wondering about a few stages I didn't see on there and was wondering if you could explain the reasoning behind those decisions.

My largest one would be Skyloft, especially as you have Delfino Legal. I would also mention Wuhu Island as it has had good results in my events but I know some people have reservations. I am also curious as to why Pokemon Stadium 2 is not on the list, it has had a lot of success on Anther's Ladder, the largest online matchmaking site for smash 4 and has yet to cause issues in my tournaments though I am less surprised not seeing it on here as it is a bit questionable to some. I would love to hear your thoughts on why those stages shouldn't be legal if you have the time.

To be honest I do not know much about the smash 4 stagelist so i used keitaro's. If any of the players who come to the event think there should be more stages, i would be open to changing the stage list.

Other players may in your situation though and not understand stages so they may not even know to ask. If anything, just pop in Skylofrt and you'll probably be just fine. It's definitely on a tameness level equal to or even better then Delfino.

When is Smash 4 Squads?

 

[kellyk1035]

I say 5th place has the opportunity to play the other 5th place out for all of 5th place winnings

 

[Cantus]

It's their money, Kelly. They can do what they want with it.

 

[kellyk1035]

That's exactly what I'm saying if the 2 5th place players agree to it

 

[3Pro]

The melee rule-set says stage striking is 1-2-2-1 but shouldn't that be fixed to say 1-2-1?

 

[Ikemain77]

Will there be a lexington vs Louisville crew battle? And if so what game will it be on?

 

[kellyk1035]

Yes it should and no its Ky vs Ind crew battle

 

[JamesBJames]

Drephen and I should be coming to this.

 

[Cantus]

If I only want to do Melee Singles do I still have to sign up by 1?
