The fourth installment of the House of Paign Tournament Series! This will be our final event at 1320 DCL, and for the first time we will be featuring a paid, non-competing TO staff!

If you intend to compete, please fill out a registration form before 2/21/2015 at http://goo.gl/forms/FHcFtp6LDS

You may view the list of registered entrants at http://goo.gl/vPpUwN

We will accept registration at the door, but it would be greatly appreciated if all attendees filled out the registration form ahead of time. Registration at the door will end at Noon for all events. Venue fee at the door will be $15 as opposed to $10 if you register online. You will only be reimbursed on equipment that your pre-register - $2 per console or CRT, $5 for a full setup (Console + CRT). If you pre-register equipment and fail to bring it to the event, you will be charged a $10 fee at the door.

This tournament is going to blow you all out of the water. The original goal of the Competitive Super Smash Bros RSO was to put the UIUC Smash Scene on the map, drawing regional players in from all over to attend our monthly tournament series. It will be hosted in 1320 Digital Computer Lab (probably the best place on campus to host tournaments) featuring a huge projector screen, live-stream, recording setups, professional commentary, tons of room for setups and the most comfortable chairs your butt will ever sit on at a Smash Tourney - GET HYPE!

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT THE NEW SCHEDULE!!!

Timetable (all times are subject to change, these are merely estimates)

9am-10am - Registration + setup
(Smash 4 will be bracket only, no pools, starting at 1pm)
10am-12pm - Project M Doubles
12pm-2pm - Melee Doubles
2pm-4pm - Project M Pools
4pm-6pm - Melee Pools
6pm-7pm - Dinner Break
7pm-9pm - Project M Bracket
9pm-11pm - Melee Bracket

Scheduling at HoP3 was a nightmare, so we will be strictly enforcing the schedule this time. Disqualifications will be issued without a second thought if players are not on time.

If you have any equipment (CRT TV, Wii, Gamecube, Wii U, HD Monitor, N64, ANYTHING) then PLEASE bring it with you! We're expecting over 150 people to show up so any extra setups are greatly appreciated! Your entry fee will be reduced or waived if you pre-register a setup for the tourney!
We will have setups for Melee, Project M and Smash 4. Smash 4 Matches may be played on either a Wii U or 3DS.

If you do not intend to compete, you can come and play for FREE! Please feel free to bring as many friends as you want, and stick around for as long as you'd like! Accommodating casual players is just as big a priority for us as competitive players!

Please be on time, as we will begin disqualifying players 15 minutes into pools. If you are disqualified you will NOT receive a refund! Our time at the venue officially ends at 11, but I'm sure we can stick around for a bit after that; either way, we will try to stick to this schedule as much as possible!

Our payouts for all events will be as follows:
Events under 64 entrants: 60/30/10
Events over 63 entrants: 40/20/15/10/5 (each)/2.5 (each)

If you intend to do any commentary, please dress and speak appropriately. Understand that commentators will be the voice (and faces) of our community, and that we reserve the right to deny anyone the privilege to commentate for any reason.
