Smash Master
Just to be clear, there will be NO CASH INVOLVED IN THIS EVENT. This means there is no entry fee to be paid NOR prizes to be won. Non-NU students may partake in money matches. In addition, this tournament is directed towards attracting new players in the Northwestern community (but anyone is welcome to come!), so the ruleset is not as complex as standard rulesets; the biggest change is that there are no counterpick stages (only neutrals).
*Venue*
Technological Institute (aka Tech)
2145 Sheridan Road
Evanston, IL 60208
Room: LR5 (circled on the map below)
The venue is a lecture hall on the property of Northwestern University (NU). Food and drink are allowed in the venue, but smoking and alcohol will not be tolerated inside the venue (smokers will have to step outside). From the outside, Tech is the large grey building with the expansive plaza to the east side of Sheridan. There are tennis courts directly north and west of Tech.
