We thought it was about time we started letting you folks know when we hosted /r/smashbros official tournaments, so here we go!

For those who have entered our events previously, please be sure to read the ENTIRE post because if you do not follow instructions you may be disqualified from the tournament.


Tournament October 18th

Times: 6:30-7pm EDT - Check in 7pm EDT - Tournament Begins

This is earlier then previous tournaments so PLEASE make a note of this.

Important Links: Ruleset! Sign Up Page! Bracket! IRC Chat!

Signups: To sign up make a Challonge account if you haven't already, and click the link above! From there, just click "Sign Up!" and you're all set! Your challonge name MUST include your friendcode or you will be disqualified. To add your friendcode simply go to settings and change your name. 30 minutes before the tournament begins there will be a check in button. YOU MUST CLICK THAT BUTTON WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF THE TOURNAMENT. If you do not, I don't know that you're here and you will be purged from the bracket at the start time.

By entering this tournament you also agree to follow all of the rules of the subreddit IRC which can be found here. Anyone who breaks this rules will be immediately disqualified. We also ask that your name on the bracket matches your IRC name. If not, you may be disqualified.

If you do not respond to play a match within 10 minutes of your opponent contacting you you will also be disqualified.

Please also remember this will be a Swiss Bracket that will cut to top 8 for a double elimination bracket. More information on this is provided in the rules.

We are sorry for the stricter rules but we need these events to run on time so they can be better for you. Thank you for understanding.

Yes we have prizes! Keep reading to learn more!

Welcome to a very special edition of our subreddit tournaments! During out last few Online 3DS events one of our biggest feedback points was "we want more stages". We wanted to see which stages you though would make for good additions, so we decided to host this experimental tournament.

If you have already clicked to check out the rules the stagelist and selection process may have shocked you.

We are asking for members of the subreddit to help us test a list of suggested counterpick stages and then provide feedback. For your help, we are offering THREE CHANCES TO GET REDDIT GOLD. You heard me THREE CHANCES AT REDDIT GOLD. Here is how this works.

  1. Win tonight's tournament. This is the simplest, tonight's winner shall receive reddit gold for a month! This will be awarded right after the tournament.

  2. Tomorrow during our sticky smash discussion thread we will be asking for people's opinions on the legal stagelist as a discussion prompt. Comment in this discussion prompt with a useful comment and you will be entered in a drawing to win reddit gold. Yes I said a useful comment, if we don't feel you added to the discussion we will not count you in.

  3. The user we feel has provided the best analysis of the stages we bring up for discussion on that prompt will also receive reddit gold. So be sure to really consider these stages.
These two prizes will be awarded on November 1st to give the TO Team and Content Team a good amount of time to determine who provided the best content.

All of these prizes are coming out of my pocket because I love you guys and really need this feedback to host tournaments the way YOU want them. I understand the stages tonight are a bit different for folks but PLEASE consider entering and/or providing feedback on stages as this feedback will be HUGE in determining the subreddit tournaments of the future. Plus if you don't comment now I will not feel so bad for you if you complain in the future.

In case people are worried, this event will NOT be included in our /r/smashbros ranking system so just come out and play!

Speaking of which, make sure to check out the rankings and let us know if any player tags don't match the usernames so we can fix them up!

Thank you SO much for reading all of this. If anyone has any questions please PM me /u/SmashCapps or ask in this thread and I will answer them.
