The 7th installment of the Cute Cats series. A few people will be coming from Out of State so lets get everyone to come out and make this the biggest Georgia local tournament ever!

***ATTENTION***
Alright guys so after exhausting every possible option we have decided to go ahead and try to use the tech venue tomorrow. Sleepy will stay in the room overnight and open the doors for everyone. We were unable to rent the room so there is a possibility the tournament could be shut down at any time. We are optimistic that won't happen though as nobody has ever tried to shut down any of our tournaments before. I know this is a smash tourney so it will be decently loud but try to keep the noise level down. Don't do things like shout across the room at each other.

Please be on time. Tournament registration starts at 4 PM and ends at 5 PM, NO EXCEPTIONS. Do the safe thing and come early. Check for traffic ahead of time. Don't call any of us if you are running late because of X problem, we are NOT able to hold anything up. ***ALSO PLEASE BRING SETUPS!!!! IF WE DO NOT HAVE AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF SETUPS ROUND ROBIN POOLS WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!***

See everyone tomorrow!

This is the building the tournament will be held in:





This is the main entrance to Klaus:


Here is a quick map showing you where to park, how to talk to the venue, and where to drop off TVs



**REMEMBER TO BRING SETUPS, ESPECIALLY CRTS! People were lazy and didn't bring setups last time so Sleepy had to yell at all of you to go back and bring them which delayed the tournament by over an hour. Please don't let that happen again.**

SleepyK will be baking cookies and only giving them to people who bring FULL SETUPS (CRT + Wii/Cube + Melee)
*This only applies to Melee setups*

Also, we have a handtruck/dolly to assist with carrying TVs - we'll try to get pictures posted to show you where you can park and where you can pull up to do tv drop offs.

Pre-Registration is not mandatory but it would be a great help to the TO staff if you took 30 seconds of your time to fill it out. This will guarantee better pool seeding for everyone and assure you that you will not have to play your friends in pools. Payment is only accepted at the venue.

Keep in mind - If you are entering multiple events, Melee takes priority over everything else. If you have to play a match in Melee and you're in the middle of a set in a side tournament, you will have to leave mid-set and finish your melee match. No holding up the main events.

I'm coming to this with some friends :o It'll be my first big tournament ever! I just had a couple questions; Is pre-registering required, and what are the stage striking rules for PM? (I'm extremely new to the competitive scene :p)

5$ For PM Vaporeon. There will likely be Singles Pools, and there's going to be a 100$ crew money match between my homies and I Vs Eagle Smash, don't miss it!

Pre-registration is not required but it it would be a great help to the TOs if you were able to fill it out! Pre-registration is just a form to fill out and no payment is required until you are at the venue. For stage striking in PM, Fatality should know the rules for that. I'll let him know to give you an answer!

This will answer all your questions, as this is the ruleset being used for this tournament.

All SSBB fans and what not will be on All is Brawl for the final tourney of Nintendo WFC. Since these are melee fans here this shouldn't really impact the attendance of CC:7.

Well, if you don't go, it'll have one fewer than it could have.

I'm suspecting at least 32, but I have no idea. My crew alone is likely in the 7+ range, and Fatality's got at least 7 from Stone Mountain. A crew is supposed to come from Tennessee....

Does the estimate influence your decision to go?

You should just go.
