Foo
Smash Lord
Hello again! This is Foo coming back with Quite Smashing #2. I think the first event was almost perfect in concept, so I'll be bringing more of the same. For those who don't know me, I've been an active member in the NC PM community and smashboards for a long time, and I am using this tournament to give back.
The event will feature Free water bottles* for all entrants, and we will raffle off a fun mystery prize to dual entrants. Anyone who enters both games will have their name put in a top hat (naturally) once, and we will draw a winner after registration for both events has closed. Can't wait to see all of you out there!
Schedule:
12:30: Doors Open/Registration Starts
1:30: Melee Registration Closes
3:30: Project M Registration Closes
6:00 OR After brackets have ended: Money Matches Allowed
Money Distribution:

Location:
Located about 15 minutes away from UNCC and practically in the same parking lot of the Concord Mills Mall, this is the ideal location for all your new, retro, card, and board gaming needs. Concord Mills Blvd is directly off I-85 as well so it should be easy enough for you travelers to find. There is plenty of food in the area including Steak & Shake, Chic-Fil-A, and of course the food court in the mall. While no outside food or drink is allowed in the venue, twe do offer drinks and simple snacks at a very reasonable cost. Also, be sure to keep your language and behavior family friendly. We will continue to hold Smash tournaments here, so show them the best our community has to offer. It's important to note this is a high traffic area so be sure to keep that in mind when you’re heading to and from the event. Be sure to like and follow their Facebook page here.
