From the Smash EDC community, we bring you Smash EDC #8! We are hosting at The Game Room Adventure Cafe in El Dorado Hills Town Center. We will be running Smash 4 singles and doubles.
We also have DiplomaticTucan running a side event, a Melee singles bracket!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No outside food or drink allowed in the cafe. Water however is fine.
If you have any trouble finding the venue: When you enter Town Center, head straight for the Regal Cinemas at the end of the street and turn right. The venue will be in the parking lot on the left. If you enter from the Regal Cinemas side of Town Center, the venue is below the parking lot to the right of the theater.
If you can, please bring a setup. We only have 1-3 setups confirmed for every week, so any extras are welcome! Just make sure that it is a full setup if possible (all characters/stages, all DLC, version 1.1.7, console, monitor, and GC adapter).
For Melee, we have room for 3 setups at most. If you have a setup you would like to bring then feel free, but once we have 3 setups we can't allow any more.

Stages
----------
Starters:
Battlefield*
Final Destination/Omega Stages**
Town and City

Lylat Cruise
Counterpick:
Dreamland 64*
* Treated as Battlefield. If Battlefield is banned, Dream Land 64 is also banned and vice-versa.
** Banning Final Destination bans all Omega stages and vice-versa.
- For the first match in a set, the player that bans a stage first is decided by a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Winner bans 1 starter, loser bans 2 starters, followed by winner banning 1 starter until there is one stage left.
- Winner of game 1 then bans a stage from the starter/counterpick stages. Loser chooses from the remaining stages. All games after game 1 will follow this banning procedure.
- Players can play on any LEGAL stage if both agree to it.
- You cannot ban or choose a stage you've already won on in a set.
