The Super Smash Bros Club at the University of Maryland, College Park is very proud to present:
SHELL SHOCKED XV
A Melee/Project M tournament
After a very successful Shell Shocked XIV, we are excited to announce the next entry in the series, this time featuring Project M.
College Park is the perfect location for a local tournament. We are centrally located between Maryland and Virginia, and best of all we are completely Metro accessible via the College Park station on the green line and a free shuttle bus. See below for more information
LOCATION:
The tournament will be held in the Computer Science Instructional Center at the University of Maryland, College Park. This time we'll be on the second floor instead of the first. We'll be in rooms 2117 and 2107.
Computer Science Instructional Center
College Park, MD 20740
There is no street address, the address is "Computer Science Instructional Center". It is located on Paint Branch Drive. It will show up as a valid address in Google Maps so you can put it in Google Maps on your phone or print directions in advance. Make sure you have your directions set in advance because I will not be available on the day of to guide you here.
NO ALCOHOL OR ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES OF ANY KIND ARE PERMITTED INSIDE THE VENUE. IF YOU ARE FOUND TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF OR IN POSSESSION OF ALCOHOL OR ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE VENUE AND POSSIBLY REPORTED TO AUTHORITIES. This should go without saying, but we're aware of past incidents and certain smasher habits. Please don't screw this up for us.
PARKING:
Free parking is available in lot XX1 located directly next to the venue. The entrance to lot XX1 is located on Paint Branch Drive between the wind tunnel building and a large map of the campus. I'll put some pictures here in a bit. Getting to the venue and finding parking is still your responsibility.
Lot XX1 can be found on this map. Look at this map in advance so you know where to park and don't get lost. I will not be available to give directions via phone if you get lost.

METRO SHUTTLE:
Take the green line to the College Park/U of MD metro station. Take the College Park Metro/104 bus to campus. Press the yellow bars to request the bus to stop after entering campus. It will stop before the large M logo on Campus Drive. Walk down campus drive back towards the entrance of the campus, then turn left onto Paint Branch Drive. The CSIC will be on your right behind the wind tunnel building. When returning to the metro station, you can take the bus back to the metro across the street from where you got off.

DIRECTIONS:
I made a document with directions if you're driving or taking the shuttle. If you're driving, please plan your trip first using Computer Science Instructional Center, then refer to this document for clarification. If you're taking the metro this will tell you where to get off the shuttle on campus and get back on to get back to the metro station.

FOOD:
There are plenty of great locations available within walking distance on RT1. There's multiple pizza places, DP Dough (awesome calzones), McDonalds, Bobby's Burger Palace, Pho, Chinese, Japanese, Middle Eastern, and I'm sure there's stuff I'm forgetting. On the other end of RT1 past the campus there's Five Guys, Chipotle, and a bunch more. Also, if you're too lazy to leave the venue, just about everywhere delivers. Just pull up grubhub on your phone.

If you are registered for an event and you are not available to play within 5 minutes of your match being called, you will be disqualified from that event (we will not call matches for players who are currently playing another game in the chance that another game runs behind schedule, so this should not be an issue.)

Same stages, same procedures, same rules regarding wobbling/stalling, etc. Please review the notes at the top, especially those regarding substance abuse and language of a homophobic/racist/violent nature.
