Setups
The Comic has at their disposal 10 TVs and a single GameCube system with Smash. Therefore, we will require some players to bring their setups to make the tournament possible. As an incentive, players will get 50% off their venue fee if they provide a TV with a GC and game, or 25% off if they bring either. If all stations are filled before the event and you still want to bring a small TV with your GameCube, you can do so for friendlies, but no rebate will be given for surplus setups.
If you want to bring your setup, please say so and you will be added to the list. Only those on the list (or the first arrived if the list is incomplete) will receive the rebate.
