Here in the middle of New Jersey, I recently realized that it's too expensive to travel to No Johns biweeklies and too far to go to the ones in the VA/MD area. So now that it's summer, why not have my own biweeklies? :D

So from the same guy who brought you the Princeton Intercollegiate Smash Invitational, get ready for Princeton Melee Biweeklies!

The next tournament/smashfest TBA


Why come here, you ask?
  1. Nice venue (those of you who came to the Princeton Smashfest earlier this year know)
  2. NO VENUE FEE (for now). The place is a University room, and as far as I know, there are no costs to using it and I don't plan on making profits.
  3. If I continue this during the school year, I may be able to get University funding to get extra prizes and free food!
  4. Transportation is easy, you can take a train literally to 1 minute from the venue.
  5. There are a lot of cool people in the area :D

Venue

The building's address is roughly 100 Alexander St. Princeton, NJ 08540. Google map it and you'll see this:



The blue circle is the building. "A" is "100 Alexander St." (not real address). It has thin white columns in the front. The red rectangles are the parking locations. The one closest to the venue is technically not legitimate parking but since it's the summer and if you guys don't have too many cars, it shouldn't matter. The other, bigger, rectangle is our visitor's parking garage, which isn't that far anyway. So if you want to play it safe and park there, that works too.

If you're taking the train, Take NJ Transit directly to Princeton (through Princeton Junction).

Costs
Like I mentioned earlier, there is NO VENUE FEE. The only costs will be your own transportation and a possible $5 tournament entry fee if we're doing a tournament on a given date.

Setups

I will need a lot of help on these. Fortunately, I can provide 4~ TVs, but I only have one Gamecube setup. Depending on the turnout each time, we might need more. And sorry, there's no incentive to bring setups since there's no venue fee to waive. :p

Technical stuff

I only have one laptop with recording capability and it would be nice if some people could bring some laptops with capture cards and/or splitter cables.

Food

There is a Wawa Market literally 30 seconds from the venue, and this summer they have 6 inch hoagies on sale for $2.99! Like I said before, if I continue this throughout the year, I could possibly provide food for FREE.

Dates (for the summer)
June 12th - $5 tournament - 10 people RESULTS BRACKET
June 26th - $5 singles, $5 doubles - 22 people RESULTS DOUBLES BRACKET SINGLES BRACKET
July 10th - TBA
July 24th - TBA
August 7th - APEX (no biweekly)
August 21st - TBA
September 4th - TBA
September 18th and onward - we'll see what happens once school starts for me

Schedule
12:30pm - Starting time for both tournaments and smashfests
1:30pm - Tournament starts (singles, doubles, other random stuff depending on interest)
10:00pm (ish) - Both tournaments and smashfests officially end

Rules
APEX rules: http://cloti-aikou.net/apex/melee.html

Payout

2nd - 30% of pot
3rd - 10% of pot
This is flexible depending on turnout.

First response? Yay.

I would definitely go to this, its like 15 minutes away from my house.

I can bring a cube and power strip, but no TV.

NO WAY the one summer I choose to make a productive person out of myself >_>

yeah I'm upset, this is like 10 minutes away from my parent's house, but I am taking summer classes right now....

I know that WaWa, too... me and my buddy used to go there to get drinks after working out at the YMCA...ah good times

I hope this is going to continue on for a while. I will try to make it to one...

I would love to go to these, but the 12th is no good because of the smashfest. I'll definitely be making future ones, though.

Cool. Hold these during the school year. Then attendance for me seems legit.

I can probably convince one or two of my friends to go, they both have cubes they can bring.

If I make it next week, then it'll conflict with No Johns if I continue to do bi-weeklies. Or should I just do the next two weeks...

Well, the things me/Palpi/BOA are hosting in PA are going to be biweeklies I believe. After the first they will be tournaments.

You should just host when there's nothing going on yet that week, not just be specifically every 2 weeks. If you have this this weekend you're not going to get as much attendance as you would.
