=====< F.A.Q. >
Q: Will there still be brackets for Melee/P:M on the 21st, or Sm4sh/DBFZ on the 28th?
A: Nope, only the games listed on the schedule will be there on the scheduled date. We'll be back to our regular schedule next month, though!
Q: Can I show up just to watch, and if so do I have to pay the venue fee?
A: You're free to show up just to watch and play friendlies, and you only have to pay the venue fee if you're entering any of the brackets. We're likely to be pretty packed however, so be aware that you may not be able to get a lot of matches in until the end of the day.
Q: I can't make it, but I'd like to watch from home - do you stream?
A: Hopefully! We'll be attempting to stream, but sometimes the internet at our venue is unreliable. Follow us at Twitch.tv/SalemSmashfests, and if nothing else we'll be uploading all the matches to our Youtube Channel (youtube.com/c/SalemSmashfests) afterwards!
Q: Will Melee be using UCF?
A: Yep, all of the setups we (the SSF team) provide will have the newest 20XX:TE, complete with the relevant UCF codes. We will be providing copies of the memory card data to everyone who brings a setup, and all setups are expected to have UCF during the tournament itself!
Q: Are Cloud (Doubles), Bayonetta, or Meta Knight going to be banned?
A: Nope, there are no character bans in our tournaments (excluding obvious glitches like Master Hand in Melee, or clearly non-competitive characters like WarioMan/Giga Bowser in P:M)
Q: What if I don't have a partner for doubles, but want to enter?
A: You can most likely find a teammate at the venue the day of the event, but post in here so you can try and find someone!
Q: Where can I find the rulesets that will be used in these events?
A: Below are the ruleset links for most of the games
- General Conduct Rules:

- Melee:

- DBFZ: "Default Settings, and all characters are allowed. You're character-locked for that round if you win"
- SSB64: TBD (expect it to be 'the standard', however)
Q: 4-Year Group Dinner?
A: Going out to Denny's, Burger King, MOD's Pizza, or any number of other places for dinner after a tournament has been a tradition of ours for a while, and everyone's invited! We'll probably decide where we're eating just a bit before leaving the venue for the night, but know that you're always welcome to join us! (Also, if you need transportation post in the group or event page; someone can probably help)
--------------------
Also, I'm going to have a booth at both events selling Bead Sprites as well, so if you're interested in those (or want to put in a custom order ahead of time to be picked up there), let me know!
