If you do not have a partner and wish to play in Doubles, you may play with a CPU of your character and level choice. This character must remain the same throughout the tournament.

PROJECT M DOUBLES: $10 per team
PROJECT M SINGLES: $10 per player

SMASH 64 SINGLES: $10 per player

DISCOUNTS

If a player brings another player who has NEVER entered a Great Value Smash event before OR brings a full setup, that player will receive a $3 venue discount each day.

In order to be eligible, the new player must at least register for one event OR the setup must include a CRT TV with minimal lag, as well as one of the following:

• a Nintendo Wii system, with a working copy of Project M, running either a vanilla version of 3.6 OR the GVS Build of 3.6.
• a Nintendo 64 system, with a working copy of Super Smash Bros. OR an Everdrive running Super Smash Bros. OR 19XXTE

If a player registers to play in an event on Sunday, and previously played in an event on Saturday, venue fee will only be $5 for Sunday. Unlike the aforementioned two deals, this discount DOES stack.

Great Value Smash is proud to announce that we will be working with Landmark Cafe! If you bring your Gamecube controller with you during lunch at Landmark Cafe, you will receive 10% off food, soda and coffee!

SEEDING

Players will be subjectively seeded based on perceived skill level in comparison to the rest of the players present.
