These Weeklies take place during the academic year of Penn State University so there will be none in the summer. They will pick back up in August.

Prices: $3 Venue Fee (Full Setups including TV, Game, and Console will have venue fee waived) $2 per singles entry, $1 per doubles entry.

Rulesets: Instead of posting all of them here, I have them all on our website http://sapsu.weebly.com/ It has all of the rules for each game as well as power rankings for our region. All of the rules are standard .

Prize Payouts: Top 3 will receive a 60/30/10 Split of the pot. This will change down the line once the pots get bigger and we are able to do payouts for top 5 or top 8.

Food: There are many great delivery restaurants in State College for Pizza, Chinese, and fast food like McDonalds and Taco bell due to the OrderUp website. Head over to https://orderup.com/ using the zip code 16802 for more details and eateries.

[Master Sergeon]

Sounds like a fun tourney.

 

[Toady]

Cool I'll be there

 

[DJDK99]

How much people do you get for smash4 averagely?

 

[Seagull Joe]

The payout system is a little low for my taste. Raise it up to $5 or $10 entry for the future!

 

[C3PO]

I too would prefer $5-10 entry fees..

 

[Registeel]

For smash 4 we expect 20-30 people per tournament. As for the entry fees, if we raise them that high, newer players to the scene would be turned off and ultimately stop coming.

You'll get significantly more interest if you just followed the standard $5 minimum entry fee for singles and doubles. Xanadu averages around the 60's with this on a Tuesday. I know I'd come as well as bring an entire carpool if you raised it to at least $5. It's not that much of a difference honestly. Newer players won't mind paying that. I've never seen it as an issue. $10 I could understand, but $5 is nothing.

We'll definitely take a look at this possibility next semester! I would like players from all over to come to our events so I can definitely see raising entry being beneficial.

 

[Mr. Odd]

Might be bringing some people from Altoona.

 

[Mr. Odd]

So we're here. Where is the study lounge?

Sorry it's not, yesterday was our last one of the semester. We'll pick back up in the fall though!

 

[prfarb]

Is the event scheduled for the 29 still happening?

 

[*Cam*]

Hey all, I just moved to Penn State from Alabama. I look forward to coming to this and playing with you guys.

 

[Registeel]

Is the event scheduled for the 29 still happening?

Yes

 

[Emblem Lord]

So yeah. I'm coming to this.

Tireless Wanderer for real.

 

[Quickhero]

MIGHT be able to come, not 100% sure, though.

 

[ST0IC]

Nope, smash valley takes S@PS place

 

[BaPTraPLaP]

I would like to be able to come but I have a few questions. Have the weeklies started yet?Will I be able to come despite my age (I am not 18 and still in high school) The rest of the high school community would love to come considering they wouldn't allow us to start a club within the high school. I hope this is an ok place to ask all of this.
