Tourney Fees

Cash
Remember to bring around 100 dollars in cash. Be prepared to buy nice, custom made, one-of-a-kind novelty items you won't find anywhere else (Hats, key chains, posters, ETC) Anything higher than $10, lower than $1, will not be accepted as payment. Exact change is also highly appreciated.

Attendance

If you are going to be no more than 10 minutes late, please contact the TO who's tournament you are entering. Shoot them a text, or better yet call them because they will most likely be running round taking care of things. They will add you to the tournament you request to enter in. Make sure you have your money ready. If the first game of the tournament has started and you call, it's too late to enter. So if you think you are going to be late, call.

Tournament Priority

As you can see, this event is on a tight schedule. If you are cross-entered in a tournament (entered in multiple tournaments) and you have a more than one match to play at once, the tournament with the higher entry fee takes priority.

Smash4> 64/Melee/P:M/Brawl > SSF4/UmVC3

For example, If you are waiting to play a tournament match for Melee but you get called for a tournament match in Brawl, you must leave the Melee station and come play your Brawl match.

However, if a tournament match is already going on in any game, you will not be required to leave until said match is complete. You must report to your next match immediately afterwards.

Tournament matches have priority over any money match.

Pools

Pools will be run to determine proper seeding for all events throughout the day. (time permitting)

This is all very much under construction. We need to add rules for a couple games and add FGs but wanted to just get it up and posted so people could know to schedule off work far in advance.

Schedule may shift a few games around. Everything on it will stay just more will be added none removed.

I really wanna go to this. I don't even know how long the drive is from Bossier, but I wanna meet the bulk of the LA smash community. Time to talk to the warden (ie mom). ;)

Edit: does anyone have a link to/know where the results of the last wintercon/summercon were posted? I've been looking around and can't find it. I've only been playing for about a year and don't know our state real well.

Hello I'm Brandon but I prefer the tag "Zora". I want to attend this tournament really, really bad. I don't see any prerequisites for entering this tournament if there is any to begin with. I intend on playing PM singles if that helps. I am really excited for this because it will be my first tournament. I have a Wii and a copy of Brawl, Melee, and a 2gb SD card with PM installed, and even a CRT. all ready to go if it will help

I'll likely be going to this! Someone should update the Smash 4 ruleset.

This is going to sound really stupid, but what time should I get there? Me and a few of my friends were thinking about attending this and doing the Smash 4 Doubles and Singles which is at 11 and 12 AM, but there is no specified time for the pooling. Should we just arrive there at opening? Also, another stupid question: can I bring some more friends to spectate the matches for free, or would they need to pay?

How's the Sm4sh ruleset coming along?

As much as I implore you to make it 3stock, I need to know if I'll have to practice with 2stocks...
Even if I really wish I don't.
