ANNOUNCEMENT:
Pools will be going up TOMORROW. There will be new forums opened up strictly for this contest. In each region, there will be a thread with everyone's name and pool number, and a thread for each pool.
Once you know your pool number:
Post your Brawl friend code in your pool's thread. This is how you confirm your registration.
If you have not confirmed your registration by noon saturday (E/M time), you will be disqualified!
You can start playing matches as soon as pools are posted. But, judges and referees will not be active until noon saturday.
You have until 9pm Saturday to complete all of your matches. Any unfinished matches will count as a loss. We do have contingencies in place for people who have dropped, but please make sure you finish as many matches as possible. Otherwise, you may end up with penalties.
To celebrate the launch of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Smashboards and WiFi Wars are teaming up to offer gamers a huge online event. On March 29th and 30th (Saturday & Sunday), Smash Wars will give Smashers a chance to dominate the competition and battle to win prizes in the first-ever Smashboards-sanctioned event.
The Info:
Date & Times –
Pools
Saturday, March 29th
12pm Eastern/Mountain (based on region) – 9pm Eastern/Mountain
Brackets
Sunday, March 30th
1pm Eastern/Mountain (based on region) – 7pm Eastern/Mountain
Rules –
The March 29 date means we have time to be completely sure of our ruleset, via testing. Full rules will be announced on Wednesday, March 19th.
Friend Codes & Check-in Time –
Friend Codes will be posted during the pre-tournament check-in by players. Check-ins will begin one hour prior to the start of the event and will end ten minutes past the start time. Players that fail to check in during this time frame will be disqualified. The friend code must be posted by the same smashboards account used to register for the event or the player will be disqualified.
More detailed instructions will be posted along with the ruleset. Finding your opponent's friend code should be extremely easy, utilizing the tournament threads, SWF friendfinder and SWF and Wifi Wars chatrooms.
Cost –
Absolutely free.
Prizes –
Winners from each of the four regions (as decided in the elimination bracket) will receive:
A copy of Puzzle Quest for the Nintendo Wii
Custom user title and avatar on both wifiwars.com and smashboards.com
An interview with Wifi Wars that will be published on the front page
Admission to the Smash Back Room on smashboards.com
Registration
Registration is open now.
To sign up, visit http://smashboards.com/smashwarsreg.php, and enter your state and preferred display name.
Registration is capped at 1600, so be sure to sign up and reserve your spot. There will also be a waiting list to replace those who fail to check in during the proper period.
Procedure
In an effort to minimize lag, participants will be divided up by region for both days of the tournament. Members are strongly encouraged to be truthful about their state, to ensure the best quality connection possible.
The size of the pools will be determined by the number of entrants. Players have all day Saturday to complete their pool's assigned matches. Prior to Tournament Day, new forums will be opened on Smashboards to accommodate a thread for each individual pool. You will be
able to review your placement and start contacting opponents once these forums go live.
There are no deadlines for individual pool matches. Rather, you are responsible to complete your matches in the allotted time. Please make sure you have enough free time on Saturday to participate. Failure to complete your matches will result in a score penalty, and in extreme cases, disqualification.
If a member of your pool is disqualified, everyone in that pool will receive points as though they had won.
The top players from each pool will advance to Sunday's bracket. Again, the exact number will depend on turnout. The exact number advancing from each pool will be posted Wednesday, March 19th, alongside the complete ruleset.
Only players 15-years of age or older with a valid smashboards account are eligible to compete. Minors are not eligible for prizes without a parental consent.
Get ready!
Over the next several weeks leading up to the event, we will be updating this thread with more information. So, commence your trashtalk, reserve your spots, and once Brawl hits, start practicing!
