Smash Obsessed
It's been a long time since there's been a quality smash tournament in south jersey ever since Clash of the Titans moved to Philadelphia, but I'm back with a new tournament series to quench your smash thirst.
Smash at the Shore is the first ever Smash tournament in Brigantine, NJ. Brigantine is a small island town neighboring Atlantic City.
Smash at the Shore is a little different from your normal tournament. SatS is being held in an arcade, so there's plenty to do when your waiting for your match. The tournament will be held in a separate room upstairs, with the entire arcade downstairs you can use while not in a match. In addition to that, there's some cool places to eat nearby, and after the tournament you can stop by the beach or Atlantic City if you're not quite ready to head home.

- Brawl:
- Chibo's Color-Blind Rule: If a player on a team is playing Lucario, Sonic, or Pokemon Trainer, either team can request for them to be Blue Team and the opponents must abide. If both teams have one of the characters, they must work it out between them.
- No extreme camping. If you are found to be doing NOTHING but running out of clock for an extreme amount of time, you will be warned in the middle of the match by me to stop. I'll be more lenient than strict with this, it's more just a heads up.
- If you need to add your name to change your controls, please remember to do so, and do it quickly. You can not quit in the middle of a match if you realize your controls are wrong.
- First round consists of all characters being chosen by a blind pick. Following this, each player/team is allowed to ban two counterpick stages for the rest of the set. A random stage will then be chosen for the battle. No resets are allowed.
- Match two will first consist of the previous loser picking a stage, then the previous winner picking their character, and finally the previous loser picking their character.

Important Melee Singles Info
- Unfortunately due to popular demand this tournament is mainly Brawl (I might hold a Melee centric one in the future), but I need to hold some sort of Melee, cause well... I just need to haha. Since this tournament is only one day, its a tight schedule. The Melee singles will start at noon exactly, so be there by 11:45am at the latest to sign up. There are no exceptions. If you are running late, just give me a call and I'll sign you up.
