It's Michigan Melee Summer Circuit Event #3!

I'm excited to be running the Japanese-style bracket class format at this tourney. This format is basically a series of bracket pools that branch off into different "classes" of skill brackets based on your placing in the initial bracket pool. As a result, everyone gets more playing time with similarly-skilled opponents and final placings will be more accurate than ever, providing an informative platform for improvement.

So come out to Ann Arbor on Saturday June 13th for a day of Melee action! Players of all skill levels, ages, and backgrounds are encouraged to attend.

Great tournament! Returning to MSU this past weekend after a two-year hiatus of events there was fantastic, as was the Wings Over after-meal with the gang. Hopefully this can help put the East Lansing scene back on the map again! Of course there are a lot of shoutouts to those involved in making this tournament happen:

Dawei (Miracle Fruit) for directing the venue-hunting effort and taking on main event organizer duties for this event
Alex (2Shadez) for his role in finding the Eppley Center and thorough decision making during event planning stages
Josh (Tremor) for housing KirbyKaze/Jethrotex and stepping up as an overall regional leader in recent weeks
Dan (D++) for supporting the venue-hunting effort and bringing some IT knowledge to the table
Chris (CTL) for successfully bartering a ride to the tourney in exchange for TOing duties
Amine (Roki) for answering questions and troubleshooting to prepare me for my first streaming duties
Jon (C_Naught) for designing some great artwork and stream overlays, and being a very helpful resource overall

Fifth Big House, fifth new venue. Growth has been incredible the past few years, and we’re happy to expand again. The amazing Adoba Dearborn Hotel will be our venue for this event, and here are a few reasons why:

* 24,000 square feet of ballroom space. That’s over 3x as big as last year, and enough room for 1500+ attendees and 200+ setups.

* 2nd-biggest hotel in the entire state of Michigan, with a track record of hosting gaming conventions such as YoumaCon 2008 and 2009.

* Located only a few minutes from the Detroit Metro Airport, with inexpensive transportation options to and from.

* Discounted hotel room rate for TBH5 attendees. Stay inside the venue for the true national Smash tournament experience!

IF YOU ARE FLYING IN:

The airport to fly into is Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) which is 15 miles away from the venue. You are responsible for arranging your own transportation from the airport to the venue.

More information to be announced in the coming weeks, including a link to airport transportation options.


Housing:
The Adoba Dearborn Hotel is your best housing option in order to stay inside the venue and connect with other Smashers at the special TBH5 room rate of $112/night. This is a big discount from their usual rate, and an especially great deal considering the quality of the hotel and convenience of staying inside the venue.

Here’s how to book your room at the discounted TBH5 room rate!

1. Go to http://www.adobadearborn.com and set your date of arrival and departure (see example below).
2. Type in the Group Code 3903 and put down 2 adults per room (even if you plan on having more), then click Search.
3. Select a room type. Note that the $ amount here is the total charge ($448 for four nights in the example below).
4. Enter in your payment info and then click Process Reservation.

I made no claims supporting peef's comments
