This is a few minutes away from my job haha. I'd consider it but on another day. I live in Paterson and my job is about 25 min away. (in Secaucus) :) If it starts good I'd be much more inclined, especially on a weekly basis.

There are already biweeklies on the same day 20 minutes away. Any chance you can do this on a different day or at least switch the times that you do smashfests and tournaments?

Takasan. I see some schedule changes were made. Am I to expect that every Wednesday will now be mixology Wednesday's, and every Thursday will be smash night Thursday? From now until the foreseeable future?

Takasan, If I might be a little late this thursday, is it okay if my brother comes and registers for me if I give him the money? If i'm too late I guess it would be fine to DQ me. I'll still come anyway and pay the venue fee just to spectate.

Yes this should be fine, if you are 5 minutes late you will go to losers bracket.

the ticket should cost $3.20
however there are also shuttle buses on gate 51 that go for 3 dollars and you dont need tickets or exact change.

you can either take the 123 bus or the 125.

* Either player may call for a Double Blind character selection for the first match.

* Controller port is determined by Rock Paper Scissors if it can’t be agreed upon. For doubles, the controller ports must be 1-2-2-1.

* Custom controls are allowed, but controllers modified to enhance performance are not. No turbo buttons, etc. However, removing the springs from shoulder buttons or replacing a thumbstick with a different thumbstick are ok.

* If you want to use your own SD card, a TO must overwrite the important game files (not music) in order to make sure there are no modifications. If you are caught cheating with modified game files, you will be immediately DQed without refund and banned from future events.

* In the event that the game crashes or the TV/Wii loses power in the middle of a match, that match will be restarted from the beginning with the same characters and stage. If a player uses a known glitch to intentionally crash the game or otherwise make it unfinishable, that player may be forced to forfeit the match or be DQed at the TO’s discretion.

* No excessive stalling (this includes abusing Jiggs’ Rising Pound and Mario’s Up-B Wall jump)

* No coaching during a match. Consulting someone between matches is allowed as long as it doesn’t hold up the next match.

* Both players may agree to any rule or stage outside the tournament ruleset.

* Giga Bowser is banned.
