Location:
Located about 15 minutes away from UNCC and practically in the same parking lot of the Concord Mills Mall this is the ideal location for all your new, retro, card, and board gaming needs. Concord Mills Blvd is directly off I-85 as well so it should be easy enough for you travelers to find. There is plenty of food in the area including Steak & Shake, Chic-Fil-A, and of course the food court in the mall. While no outside food or drink is allowed in the venue they do offer drinks and simple snacks at a very reasonable cost. Also be sure to keep your language and behavior family friendly I look forward to hosting more events here so let's show them the good side of the Smash community. It's important to note this is a high traffic area so be sure to keep that in mind when your heading to and from the event. Be sure to like and follow their Facebook page by clicking the image below.

Smash for Wii U Ruleset:
This weekend FPS will be running a modified version of the CEO ruleset. I am doing this for people going will have a good opportunity to practice. I say modified since I am allowing all the new DLC characters, suicide KO rules are added, and any configuration of Mii's are allowed. Please keep in mind this is a one time thing and the following FPS we will go back to the normal 3 stock/8 minutes, all Customs & Miis on.
Rules:
- 2 Stocks, 6 Minutes
- All items & equipment turned off.
- All custom moves & Amiibos are banned.
- Starter stage striking: P1(1)-P2(2)-P1(2)-P2(2)-P1(1)
- 2 counter-pick stage bans.
- All Omega stages are banned.
- Coaching or stalling between rounds is prohibited to 60 seconds maximum, Any delays between rounds are subject to a game loss.
- If a game ends with a suicide KO (ie Kirby/DDD/Wario Nuetral-B, Ganondorf Side-B) and goes to sudden death, the initiator wins the game.
- DSR: You may not choose a stage you have already won on unless mutually agreed to.
All stages are the available in each round.

Project M Ruleset:
For everything except the stage selection we use the Apex 2014 ruleset, including character selection and stage striking. However, we will be using a new stage list I've been working on with other TO's in the region. Since the Apex site no longer has the rules up here's a link if you are unfamiliar: PROJECT M RULESET
Project M Stage List:
This is the stage list the NC TO's have settled on, but with one change to my stagelist. Swapping out Yoshi's Story for Green Hill Zone as a Starter. 2 stage bans.Green-Starter/Neutral Stages
These stages are available all rounds but are the only ones available for round 1
-Green Hill Zone
-Pokémon Stadium 2
-Smashville
-Battlefield
-Dreamland 64
Yellow-Counter Pick Stages
These stages are available only after round 1 is complete
-Warioware Inc.
-Final Destination
-Yoshi's Story
-Fountain Of Dreams
-Norfair
Red-Banned Stages
This should be self explanatory.
-Everything on Page 2
However, if you and your opponent agree to it you can play on any stage you like. Just don't be salty if you loose on Rainbow Cruise and you agreed to it.
Smash 64 Ruleset:
For Smash 64 I run things slightly different then the standard Apex ruleset. I added Hyrule Castle as a Counter-Pick to have some more stage diversity. If you are unfamiliar with the basic rules of this game you can find them here: SMASH 64 RULESET
Smash 64 Stage List:
Like I said Hyrule Castle has been added to the stage list, however now having 4 available stages allows you to have 1 Counter-Pick ban but still no DSR.
Starter/Neutral Stages
These stages are available all rounds but are the only ones available for round 1
-Dreamland
Counter Pick Stages
These stages are available only after round 1 is complete
-Peache's Castle
-Hyrule Castle
-Congo Jungle
Banned Stages
This should be self explanatory.
-Everything else
However, if you and your opponent agree to it you can play on any stage you like. Just don't be salty if you loose on Saffron City and you agreed to it.
Project M Character Model/Texture Hacks:
Texture hacks are allowed upon request, if you have a certain texture you like just let me know and I can install it for you. Previously I have been completely against model hacks of any kind. However, seeing all these new alternate costumes in Project M 3.5 I don't think it's out of the question to throw a few in just for fun. Of course, nothing too extreme only changes that are more of an extension of the character themselves. For example this is my personal Phazon Suit Samus skin (screw that ugly Light Suit!) You can click the image below to go to Brawl Vault and find anything you could want to put into PM!
Music:
I love having custom music over my stages. For example one of my favorites is City Escape, a track that should have been in the game to begin with. If you have any requests for stage music just let me know and I will put it on. Yes Travis I know we need to work on combining our music packs.Money Stuff:
Venue Fee-$5-All proceeds go directly to Play It Again to help improve our gaming experience and the store.
