We're back and bigger than ever! This is KOTC's first East Coast event in over a year. We are also planning a HUGE amateur tournament for October. More info on that in a few days (and in a new post).

This event is being sponsored by Devry University and will be the first of many new KOTC events to come.

Grab your Gamecube controllers guys... Melee is still alive and kickin'

... but just wait until you see what we have planned for Brawl!

Peace

UPDATE:

Entry fee has lowered to $15. Payouts have changed slightly, however cash payouts are still based on attendance. If we have a full bracket (or more) the cash payouts may increase.

Also Wavebirds are now permitted, but be aware you are responsible for any wireless malfunctions that may occur.

If you have questions feel free to send a email to thesuicidefox@hotmail.com(KOTC SMASH as the subject title)
OR
send an AOL instant message to TheSuicideFox​

As of now there is no OFFICIAL team tournament. However, I was planning to run a small $2-$5 winner take all event for teams if time permits.

Also take note this tournament will follow a basic amateur format, as will following KOTC events.

All are welcome and I hope to see some old and new faces at the event.

You came out of nowhere, Mr. Joe Fox.

Now that you're back, I'd like to discuss some things with you. Let's meet up sometime.

Edit: Oh wow, this is in PA? It looks to be about an hour away from me.

Are your tournaments going to be based in PA from now on?

Its amazing how things have changed since the days of KOTC. Remember the KOTC crew? lol

It would be great if KOTC and the NJ community could be re-united once again.

Yea I didn't realize that WoZ, but even if I did the date was set by Devry so not much we can do to change it.

Our next event will be a colossal (sp?) 2000+ player tournament for over 10 games on each of the current and next gen systems. As of now the date is set to be Oct 6th, but all other information is still pending over the next few days.

It would be great if you guys could come out on the 29th but if not that would be ok.

Peace for now!

2000+ people for 10 different games, in an ARENA, fully sponsored by Devry, Soveriegn Bank, and Gamestop, plus we are marketing heavily through 3 different radio networks, dozens of newspapers, and even in all EC Gamestop stores. So yea 2000+ players

BTW The Rhode Island event we ran last November drew over 1500 players for only 5 games, and it was barely advertised. So :p

The timing of the event was heavily dependant on the HALO 3 release. We all would like to maximize attendance but unfortunately, we had to take this date. Very sorry for the date conflict, I truly wish that they were two seperate dates. :(

For those of you wondering, the current stock/time is set to 3/6mins due to time restraints. However, as we get closer to the event we may officially change the rules to a more standard 5/8 min and perhaps a few other things. Also, depending on the attendence we may add in a 2v2 tourney as well (small, like $5 to enter, winner take all) and maybe a few other side events if time allows. More info when I get it, but until then the official rules stand.

And BTW Metroid Prime 3 rox my sox

Same day as Zenith huh? I'm really interested to go to one of these in the future. Felt like I joined the scene right after these ended and NJ smashers won't shut up bout their KOTC old days.

The suicide fox is a tool. END OF STORY.
An the Empire is a bunch of pro-snobs who THINK they are good and THINK they are important but aren't. Hey what was the turnout of you last smash event? 50? 60?

OK mine was 200
So if you nothing to contribute or anything positive to say stay out of my topics.

thank you :)
