A seasons greetings to all! Time for a little Christmas carol to get us all in the mood, I expect everyone to sing along at home:

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He's got a bag that is filled with toys
for the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.



That’s better, hope were all feeling jolly and warm inside. Now to the nitty gritty.

Edmas 2 is the long awaited sequel to Edmas 1 http://smashboards.com/threads/sdb-present-edmas-dec-16th-newcastle-upon-tyne.88431/. It has only taken, say, seven years :D. Now that we have a resurging scene in the Midlands (after Sam's up and b tournament) thought I would keep the ball rolling and host a tournament. The results from this tournament will be collated with the results from the up and b tournament (for melee) and be used to produce Midlands Ranking i.e. be part of the Midlands Circuit (just made that up!). Also, has pm is ****ing amazing there will be more emphasis placed on it and the results from this will kick start rankings in pm in the Midlands aswell. Rankings will be decided using the old school system: http://www.ssbwiki.com/UK_Ranking.

Quick summary of details;

Melee singles £5
Melee Doubles £5/team
PM Singles £2.50
Tri-cities crew cup?! birmingham vs nottingham vs leicester. Ill buy an actual trophy!
Venue cost: £2 but is not payable if wearing a Xmas jumper!

Tournament is 12-12 at my local pub in Snarestone. Pub is very rural and is never busy. Tournament will run in a very large function room with plenty of set ups.

Housing at my place which is local to the pub. Tournament venue is rural so I would encourage staying the night.

Travel arrangements by bus/train - Go to (in order of preference) Measham, Ashby de la Zouch, Tamworth or Nuneaton. I will post more specific information on how to get to the pub closer to the date. I will endeavour to pick as many people up as possible.

The pub has a skittles alley in the room that I have hired. Draft skittles match late on?!

Santa will also be making a show late on. Presents to be expected as well as some mulled wine.

Oh, pub does a £5 carvery :)

Lastly, I don't know who plays anymore/in the Midlands. Please invite people :)

Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/479202125528688/

Venue/Pub: Odd House pub Snarestone (Bosworth Rd, Swadlincote, Derbyshire DE12 7DQ)

Housing: My place (1 Bridge House, Snarestone, DE12 7BY). It is incredibly hard to find so you will have to talk to me for specific directions.

Will post rules etc. later. Wanted to get this out there.

Let me know if you can bring setups!

Merry Christmas all,

Ed x

Skrull - those rankings are well old - check out the dates. At that point Jiggs' metagame was really under developed and she was scene to get ****ed by marths/foxes. There had been no mango/hbox yet.

Jin - Make it! what is stopping you? this will be the closest consecutive tournament in sometime. Only way to get better ;)

Cal - I dont understand the issue with poke stadium! lol when did it drop from the neutral stages and why?!

Oh, forgot to put in the first post but there'll be crews aswell. Thinking of starting a tri-cities cup; Birmingham vs Leicester vs Nottingham. Ill order an actual cup for it aswell :D

i just don't see it as a neutral, give characters like Spacies big advantage over other, Cant remember how long its been dropped, but it was before i took my break in like late '11/early '12

Tri Cities Cup sounds like a great idea though :D

You three will fit nicely :)
I'm not overly familiar with Birmingham, so if you two could meet up in the same place for collection it would help.

Having said that though works out pretty cheap for me to catch a train to Tamworth. What do people think?

Scribbles - why dont you pick jin, hao and craiguk all up from birmingham new street? Car be cheaper than train and then you can drive to the venue rather than me getting you from tamworth. Would be doing me a favour!
