You do NOT have to attend the entire weekend of events in order to claim your prizes. If you come for the main Melee tournament and you win, you may leave after receiving your prize. If you win the raffle and you are already gone, your prize will be mailed to you.

Although we originally had a pyramid system, that will be used for our next huge tournament. It is now a pot, and the winner will get a Wii on top of his cash (or he can just take the cash). If the pot for 2nd place is over $250, he will have the option of a Wii as well.

1st: 40% of pot & Nintendo Wii or 60% of pot
2nd: 25% of pot
3rd: 10% of pot



ESTIMATED CURRENT POT: $850+
^^GOES UP AS EXPECTED ATTENDANCE INCREASES!^^


These are just the base prizes as well. If we get enough feedback in this thread to expect more than around 60 people, we will up them accordingly. I will be posting updates as feedback is given.

"The End" Melee Doubles Tournament - Sunday, February 10th

Entry:
$10 per team

Prizes:
1st: 60% of pot
2nd: 30% of pot
3rd: 10% of pot

Rules are the same as the singles tournament.

-----------------------------------------------------

Events:
The D-Pad is complete with everything from classic Nintendo to PS3s, 360s, Wiis, Arcades, and PCs. It is filled with nearly every game imaginable, from a Third Strike arcade to two full Rock Band setups. Everything will be free to use for the weekend, starting at the moment of tournament entry and payment. There will also be an all nighter Saturday night if enough people want to stay.

-----------------------------------------------------

Play Brawl Early!:
There will be at least one Wii with a Japanese copy of Brawl at the tournament. It will be there from Friday the 8th until Sunday the 10th. Tournament players will be able to take turns playing in their free time. If we are able to secure more, we will have a mini-tournament on Sunday. I will announce the prize if we decide to have a tournament.

**IF YOU HAVE A MODDED (to play imports) OR JAPANESE WII PLEASE PM ME!**

**UPDATE** IT IS NOW IN! Come over and play it now. I command it!

-----------------------------------------------------

Housing:
There is a brand new Red Roof Inn that is less than five minutes from the D-Pad. It runs around $40-50 a night. There will be SOME free housing, but it will be first come, first serve.

I will go talk to the owners of local hotels to see if they will cut us a deal if we can guarantee a certain amount of rooms.

-----------------------------------------------------



WiFi Wars Sponsorship & Raffle:

As some of you may know, WiFi Wars, a site created by: Scav - SmashBoards admin, Jason/M3D - SmashBoards moderator and former MLG senior editor, and yours truly is forming an online system for competitive Brawl called Smash League. It will be a ranked competitive league complete with scheduled matches, casual play, season-end playoffs with prizes, and more.

If you would like to learn more, visit http://www.wifiwars.com/?q=node/20 for some basic information. More info will be coming soon. In the mean time, join our site and hop in on the league rules discussion.

Raffle:
If you enter the tournament you are entered into a raffle to win a pre-ordered copy of Brawl! The more people come, the more prizes we'll add to the raffle!

Free Drinks:
If you come visit our booth and participate in early sign-up for Smash League / WiFi Wars, or you can prove you have already signed up, you will receive the free drink of the day. The drink of the day will range from fancy sodas to awesome energy drinks. You will also get the benefit of being able to reserve your name before official launch!

-----------------------------------------------------

If you plan on coming or are thinking about it, post here and I will add you to the list. If you need to carpool, list your area and I will try to organize some people to share cars. If you can't pay for a full hotel room for the evening, post as well and I will try to gather some people to share hotel rooms.

If there is anything you'd like to see added to our grand event, shoot me a PM or post here and I'll see what I can do.


-----------------------------------------------------


Just a notice: even though the D-Pad has AMAZING food and drinks for cheap, you are allowed to bring in outside food. There is a Little Casears within walking distance, a gas station, and a ton of awesome restaurants within a few minutes driving distance.

If you happen to pass out on one of the D-Pad's couches, just cover yourself with something and we'll try not to hit you with sticks (no promises!).

Well this looks pretty darn incredible. I'll see if I can make it down there for this...though in all honesty I don't really like the idea of a Brawl tournament the day it comes out. I'd rather just explore the game and have fun for the first few weeks. I'd probably leave after the Melee tourney, but I would still have to play the full $17, yes? Probably.

Is anything actually happening on the 8th, as the title suggests?

Well, the Brawl tournament is mostly just for fun. Hopefully during the tournament we can discover some new tactics or techniques.

If you come on the 8th and pay for the tournament, you will get to hang out and play for free at The D-Pad all day (and of course the rest of the weekend). There are over 20 TVs, tons of 360s, PS3s, arcades, etc.

Tristan: for the tournament there is no age limit, but we will have to have an age limit for the all night Brawl play Saturday evening (from Midnight till 8 am most likely). We haven't discussed it yet, but I will let you know.

I updated the prize list so that it is more clear. Also, there is a list of people who will be attending that haven't posted. I will be adding those people to the official list later. The D-Pad has a large amount of Smash fans ;)

I AM GOING TO DROP KICK SAKURAI AND EAT HIS CHILDREN.

The tournament has been updated. It is a combination of prizes + a traditional pot system now.

And you guys will be able to play my Japanese import copy of Brawl at the tournament. It will be like E4All, but sexier.

I want to work out a deal with Little Cesaers to get like 50 pizzas.

Alright, what kind of food do you guys like? I know everyone from south Texas digs Mexican food, but we have to be accommodating to the wimps from north texas :p. The reason I am asking is because I am going to go to some places to see if I can get some deals on food for players who come to the tournament. Pizza? Burgers? Hot pockets?

chang-sta: Are you coming? I added your name to the list just in case (and to make our tournament look sexier).

felix: coming? eh? eh?

forkgirl: are any of noobs from the UTSA area interested in coming? I don't know if you talk to them, but if you do, make sure to threaten them into coming for us. The more the merrier, especially if they bring us some mexican food.
