I know this is a very late reply but I'm looking for people in the Valley who are wanting to enter into tournaments. I wont be entering, I will be hosting.
We are a small group of live streamers and have been looking for the past two months to start a tournament group in the desert. It took us some time to gather all the equipment we needed to do a proper Tournament which will be streamed live. Some tournaments near the start will be exhibition style until we can provide prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd place winners.
Some tourneys will have common rules such as how a map is chosen, whether or not you are allowed to swap characters, and items on or off. While others will contain some of the newer features of smash such as the use of Amiibos for a Team style tourney.
What we are missing now is the tournament location. If anybody can help us find a place to host these tournaments please let us know.
A few places we are currently looking at are JB Sports in Bermuda Dunes, Oasis Comics in Palm Desert, (and for the older crowd) The Hood Bar in Palm Desert.
