Smash Brothers University 2.0
Me, Bubbaking, and the SBU Smash Crew / AP Club are all excited to host the 3rd installment of the Smash Brothers University tournament series! We host 2 of these every year with x.0 indicating the Fall tournament and x.5 being the Spring tournament. We have been doing our best to make the next tournament bigger and better, and this one is no exception. The venue has been moved to an even bigger location that can effectively hold over 300 people. This time we are adding $200 pot bonuses for Melee AND PM Singles!
Details:
Date - Sunday, November 10, 2013
Time - 9:00AM - 11:00PM
Games - Melee Singles/Doubles, PM Singles/Doubles
Pot Bonus - $200 Melee Singles, $200 PM Singles
Price - $10 venue, $10 singles, $5 teams (per player)
FB Event Link - https://www.facebook.com/events/1423367837883200
Location:
Student Activities Center
SAC Drive
Stony Brook, New York 11790
Venue Website - http://studentaffairs.stonybrook.edu/for/facilities/ballrooma.shtml
Floor Plan:
Raffle System:
The raffle system we rolled out last time was a great success so we are doing it again this year! Our prizes last year included a GC memory card, a silver controller, and 2 new white controllers. This year we hope to dish out prizes just as good, or even better than last time.
Edit: We are giving 5 new white controllers as prizes for the raffle!!
So how do you get tickets? Paying for venue gets you 2 tickets already! Afterwards, each ticket is priced at $1 a pop. Every time you get a ticket, you actually get a pair of tickets with the same number.
Why is that? Well this is the other cool thing about our raffle system which I believe makes our tournaments unique. When you give 1 of the pair of tickets, the ticket goes into the drawing box, and then you get take your pick of 1 slice of pizza or 1 bottle of drink.
By that logic, yes, we are selling drinks and pizza for $1 each. For each item you buy, you conveniently get a raffle ticket as well!! The pizza offer comes in cheese or pepperoni, and new batches are delivered every couple of hours for freshness. We also have a variety of bottled drinks kept cold courtesy of a cooler full of ice we bring at the venue.
We have ordered 30 boxes of pizza and 180 bottles of drinks for this event!!
Discounts*:
Take the LIRR from Zone 1-3 stations (show us receipt) - 20% off
Bring a friend who has not been to a previous SBU tournament - 20% off
Bring system + game - 20% off
Bring TV - 20% off
Bring system + game + TV - 50% off**
I'm keeping track of setups through this file: http://bit.ly/1bRUwN4
*The discounts can stack for a maximum of 50% off the venue.
**For every full setup confirmed before November 10, you get 1 extra raffle ticket. This means if you tell us before the 10th that you are bringing a full setup, you get an extra ticket when you get in the door. Granted you -still- have to bring the full setup. We need setup info early on for logistical purposes.
Here is a comprehensive guide on taking the LIRR from Penn Station (can be used from anywhere): http://smashboards.com/threads/smas...2013-stony-brook-ny-usa.334859/#post-15401472
Streaming:
We have a Dazzle setup in house, but if someone can bring a better setup that'd be great! Our default steam channel is: http://www.twitch.tv/saltedbread
Directions to Venue:
The venue is different from last time so the guide I had from SBU 1.5 is not completely accurate. The ones I have below should be better. You can still use the guide on the SBU 1.5 thread to get to campus but you can't use it to get to the new venue.
From the LIRR:
Your path will look like the one on this image:
Blue path is the recommended path. It's the path that guarantees you don't get lost in campus.
Purple path is the shortest path to the venue.
For cars - parking and loading/unloading:
Your way to Circle Road will differ based on which entrance your GPS/Google Maps tells you.
Blue path = From Main Entrance
Brown path = From South Entrance
Either way your path branches when you hit Engineering Drive. If you want to unload TVs to the venue, you take the yellow path. Temporarily park your car on the curb, find the door that has CRTs inside, knock to get our attention, and we will let you in to drop off the TV. There is also a small parking lot accessible through the yellow path but it is usually filled.
If you just want to get parking take the purple path and park in the circled area. It is further from the venue but there are more spots available.
Tournament Schedule:
9:00AM - Venue Opens / Start Registration
1:00PM - Melee Doubles
2:00PM - PM Doubles
4:00PM - Melee Singles
5:00PM - PM Singles
11:00PM - Venue Closes
Times are not absolute but we plan to be as close to this schedule as possible.
Prize Distribution:
1st place - 60%
2nd place - 25%
3rd place - 10%
4th place - 5%
Ruleset:
We are using the Apex ruleset for Melee - https://www.apex-series.com/rules/melee/
The ruleset for PM is here - bit.ly/HlYx1I
Hope to see you guys there!! 60+ people came last time so hope we can hit 100!
