Sure, it's $5 per tournament to enter.

Also, Castle Siege, Halberd, and Delfino Plaza have been removed from the Smash 4 stagelist.

[JimmyTheCaterpillar]

I'm going with some of the Slidell guys. This looks like it's gonna be a good time!

 

[DeadPixeI]

Ouch. $30 just for entering the venue. :\

 

[Bottlecap]

Didn't see the 30 dollar venue fee. Had leave after driving all the way out here

 

[Cheeks]

I couldn't go because of family in town for new years weekend but where did DeadPixel see a $30 venue fee? I typed 30 into control+F and nothing was highlighted in the original post. JSalt, venue fees need to be listed in a Tournament post. If i was covering 3 other people that might have gone with me then thats $120 dollars I didnt know to budget before driving roughly an hour or so to get there. Just pointing that out.
