Sadly, League of Legends has been cut because we've had some network issues with it in the past We are planning to have a tournament for LoL later this year though.

Instead, Call of Duty Black Ops & Street Fighter IV have been added.

Dance Central is Harmonix's (creators of Guitar Hero, Rock band) Kinect dance game.

im likely to come

Cool, do it! And tell your friends!

Wow this is the best thread I've seen in so long.

Teh Pwn Gaming seems really legit!

Thank you ^^

Here are the Super Smash Bros. Melee rules for your convenience:

Super Smash Bros. Melee

32 people

Single elimination, Quarter- and semifinals best of three, finals best of five. Otherwise best of one.

Time Estimate: Eight hours, divided by the number of Wii’s, but at least Two hours

32-Player Single Elimination Bracket

Stages: The first game of a match is played on a random stage, chosen from the neutral stages:

Yoshi’s Story

Fountain of Dreams

Battlefield

Dream Land (N64)

Final Destination

Afterwards, the loser picks, and may pick from neutral stages or the following:

Pokemon Stadium

Brinstar

Kongo Jungle (N64)

Rainbow Cruise

Hopefully I'll be able to make it. Do we have to pay the registration fee for nonmembers on the site only or can we pay in person?

 

[illboyzeus]

what is the prize for marvel.

 

[MonkUnit]

Not that far for me to travel, but I only play one of those games in that list; melee. If you don't mind, I could bring Project M if I can make it.

 

[Triple R]

We'll see. I would really like the Melee ruleset to be the standard tourney format (double elim, 2 out of 3, etc.). Would love to go though.

Unfortunately, it is site only - sorry! Are you thinking about coming?

Prize distribution has not been decided yet but I'll let you know when I find out!

Oh yeah, by all means play any game you want! Oh an a word of advice: I recommend to bring your own monitor/TV to ensure that you'll have a screen to play your own games on. Only screens for tournaments will for sure be provided. There may be some extra TVs for people to use by themselves but no promises!

 

[standardtoaster]

Assuming that MonkUnit and I are free this weekend, we'll see you all there. :D

Does this mean it starts at Friday at 7pm and ends at Saturday at 8am?

You are correct! Hope to see you & MonkUnit there. It'll be an awesome time.

"I'll move it to best-of-three until quarters. I'd also like to make it a double-elimination tournament if there's interest and if we're likely to have enough SSBM fans in attendance. How large is the local Melee community, and how many are likely to come to this event? Since Melee is such a highly-watchable game, I could see putting it alongside Starcraft as the really big events of the night."

The rules have been switched. Thanks guys!

question: do you plan on having any security monitors at this? i know there have been for similar events in the past..

 

[Remy LeBeau]

i couldnt find it on the site, but what is the time for melee event? I have a wedding the next day to go to, so I dont want to have to be up too late

It says Melee starts at 2am...

 

[MonkUnit]

I wonder how the melee turnout will be. I hope there's over 20 people.

 

[Remy LeBeau]

It says Melee starts at 2am...

these old eyes.

i guess i prob wont be able to beat everyone this time around. kinda too late for me

 

[Wake]

haha Old huh Deepak? P

 

[TehPwnGaming]

Yes there will be.

 

[standardtoaster]

For melee, we don't do stage striking for the first match?

 

[eighteenspikes]

tf2 starts at 5am lol? do we need our own team at registration or can we just do a pug style thing?

 

[TehPwnGaming]

The times have changed a little bit and the tournament for SSBM will start at 11pm instead. It may go as late as 2am though since there are over 20 people signed up to play on their registration form

Also, many people are coming as a team but the boards will be open for sign up and you can just sit down and sign up with some people who didn't have a team.

 

[standardtoaster]

Yay earlier melee start.

 

[MonkUnit]

Due to how many people will be entering melee, will it continue to be single elimination or will it change to be a double elimination?

 

[TehPwnGaming]

Due to how many people will be entering melee, will it continue to be single elimination or will it change to be a double elimination?

Yup! The changes in time of start, duration and switch from single elim to double elim were made a few days ago but the document has yet to be updated by our tournament director. The document should reflect these changes within about 12 hours

Just as an update 59/200 seats have been filled and there's about 3 weeks left for registration!

Also, we just received $500 worth of prizes in the mail from Slappa yesterday and here's a little preview of what you could win!

 

[MonkUnit]

Fantastic!

 

[standardtoaster]

This is going to be great! :D

 

[MonkUnit]

SO for the prizes in that pic, I see some suitcases, some bags, and a game case. Anything else that's getting shipped in? :D

Yup! We still have a bunch of items from Cooler Master, Seasonic, Vroom foods and 4 Vibras head sets (worth $250 a piece!) on the way

By the way, those are actually cd cases, psp cases, laptop cases, backpacks and messenger bags.

 

[standardtoaster]

For melee, we don't do stage striking for the first match?

In case you missed my post. The rules indicate that there are 5 stages put on random and instead of stage striking, you just choose one of the five randomly. Am I correct?

 

[Wake]

"It's four stock, no items. Best-of-three except best-of-five quarter- and semi-finals and best-of-seven finals. Double elimination."

Yaaaay
