Smash Cadet
Platteville Smash Bros., the Smash Bros. division of the Platteville Gaming Association, will be hosting singles tournaments for Super Smash Bros. (N64), Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, as well as doubles for Super Smash Bros. Melee and triples (3v3) for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, on Saturday, May 2nd.
Facebook thread: https://www.facebook.com/events/807117149373654/
Registration must be done before the event by filling out the following form: https://www.signupforms.com/registrations/4623
Registration will close at 9:00 PM CDT on Thursday, April 30th.
There are no fees to enter the tournaments. Prizes are bragging rights and eternal glory.
There will be bracket or round robin pools for all singles games, and double elimination brackets for Melee doubles and Wii U triples. We will attempt to seed players so that no pool is far more difficult than others, as well as so that players from the same area don't play each other.
Please be at the event and ready before the tournament starts. If you arrive late to your pool(s) or bracket(s), you will be disqualified from those events.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mitchell Meerman at meermanm@uwplatt.edu.
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
