BLUE FISH is set to be the next big Melee regional in upstate New York featuring at least 48 guaranteed Melee setups, pools with pro, intermediate and amateur brackets, and a dedicated TO staff! This event will conclude the Capital Region Smash Ladder for both Melee and Wii U, so Wii U singles will also be held. We will have some special announcements coming soon!
PREREGISTER AT https://smash.gg/bluefish BY APRIL 28 AT 11:59PM! Pools will be announced prior to the event, and late on-site registrants will be sorted into death pools.
THE MELEE GAMES REGIONAL EXHIBITION!
BLUE FISH will feature special time set aside for multiple TMG matches between schools from different regions! This is your opportunity to play schools outside of your own region!
The exhibition will consist of every team playing three crew battles with teams from separate regions. For example, a western NY team may play a New Jersey team round 1, a New England team round 2, and a NYC team round 3. We will tally win/loss records for schools from each region. In order for this to run on schedule, we ask that teams do not exceed 5 players.
Further details will be announced when we have a good idea of how many schools from which regions will be attending. Stay tuned for more info!
Pastime Legends is offering to assist schools coming to BLUE FISH to help cover travel costs. All schools are eligible to participate as long as they have a full roster of at least 5 players. Schools who weren't in this spring's TMG season but are interested are also welcome to participate. Contact Mike Sutton or Adam LeClair via Facebook for travel arrangements.
Depending on how many schools are participating, we may ask that TMG participants do not also participate in Melee Doubles. If necessary, this will be announced in advance.
