Fire & Dice is extremely proud to present you it's very first Southern California Regional for Smash 4! It doesn't matter if you're from the 818, 805, 310, 626, 909, 619, 858 or anywhere in between... this is a TRUE Regional that SoCal's finest will not want to miss out on!

We will only be running singles for the day due to the venue needing to close and clean up by 10PM. We anticipate that, depending on how well this one runes, future tournaments will include doubles as a side event. Please understand :3


Location:

Arcadia Presbyterian Church
121 Alice St, Arcadia, California 91006

PRE-REGISTER HERE: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2096545

Entry Fee: $5
Venue Fee: $8
PRE-REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY

Setup Discounts: -$2 for WiiU + Game + Adapter, -$2 for Monitor [Discount is applied AFTER pools have concluded]

A word on pre-registration as per Crimson Blur:

"...the current tournament payout system is very broken. Large amounts of cash on-site risks theft (which we've seen many times in Smash history), and leaves the tournament host liable in back taxes. Documenting the money trail is an important next step in professionalizing the Smash scene.

Also, logistically, adding pre-registration helps in many ways. We can make the bracket beforehand, set up commentary blocks, build a more robust scheduling and queuing system, and more. Simply put: pre-registration is a must for larger events."


The schedule is not final, but should roughly be as follows:

9:30AM - Venue open to volunteers/setup
10:00AM - Venue opens to competitors/Registration begins
11:30AM - Registration ends/Pools finalized
12:00PM - First Wave of Pools begins
1:30PM - Second Wave of Pools begins
3:00PM - Third Wave of Pools begins
5:00PM - Top32 begins
10:00PM - Venue closes [please respect the fact that the venue is located in a residential area]

- Custom moves are banned

Should this be read as: "Custom Fighters OFF" or is there some kind of out-of-game ruling that may affect the Mii Fighters who some have argued use custom moves.
Could I request a clarification on this? It's mostly a concern to us Mii mains who could interpret this of ruling any number of ways and fear having to face withdrawing or being DQ'd from a tournament due to a misunderstanding of rules.

Summary
  • Custom Fighters: OFF <= No Custom Moves nor Equipment can be used by function of the game + no ban/restriction on Mii
  • Custom Moves Banned <= No Custom Moves but no ruling on Equipment and Mii could arguably have restrictions.
