More information about the Ritz Carlton in Tysons Corner
- Over 20,000 square feet of venue space with a luxurious 14,000 square foot ballroom.

- One of the most accessible venues in Smash tournament history. It is less than a 10-minute walk from the Tysons Corner Metro Station meaning that you can take the Metro directly from Reagan Airport (DCA) or Union Station to the venue for about $5. Additionally, shuttles run every 15 minutes from Dulles Airport (IAD) to Wiehle-Reston (just a few stops from Tysons) for only $5.

- The Ritz-Carlton is literally connected to the Tysons Galleria Mall, and is a 10-minute walk from Tysons Corner Center. These are the two largest malls in the entire DMV region.

- A 25-minute ride on the Metro takes you into the heart of our nation's capital. Great for sightseeing around the Smithsonian museums and National Mall area and plenty of nightlife. If you are coming from out of town, I recommend spending an extra day or two if possible to take advantage of the sightseeing opportunities around here. Our date coincides with peak cherry blossom season and The National Cherry Blossom Festival. This is the most beautiful time of year to visit DC.

Glad to see big tourneys near my area, with SSC and Pound being very close. Thanks guys for hosting the event, I'm super pumped and I think by the time Pound rolls around, I would've practiced enough to get a top placement.

 

[Ph1l]

Sounds sick. Even if I can't go I'll still be watching an stream!

 

[SplitCentaur]

[Xyro77]

i don't trust this series.

 

[Teshie U]

i don't trust this series.

But why?

 

[IoSSBM]

There was a long time between the end of Pound 5 and the actual payout. We are talking around 5 years. Plank has become better about that, though.

It's been 5 years and he is STILL hasn't fully paid the winners yet and he is STILL blacklisted.

 

[Zebkeet]

Plank isn't in charge of funds or anything this time around. Nothing to worry about really.

 

[FunnyAwsomeCharlie]

Isn't there an age limit to how old your supposed to participate? Because I would be able to go when its nearby to me and its my birthday. :DD
