Brought to you by 6th Pillar
Once upon a time, at a regional tourney called SWEET IV, nine players from Canada made it into bracket, along with another ten players from Illinois. Meanwhile, at their very own event, Michigan's grand total... eight.
Thus, the name of this tourney.

1:00pm - Registration Closes, Teams Bracket

7:30pm - 3rd Round Loser's
8:00pm - 4th Round Loser's
8:30pm - Loser's Finals, Grand Finals
10:00pm - Venue Closes
IMPORTANT: We are using a non-traditional, round-robin bracket hybrid format for the majority of loser's bracket in Melee singles only. This is to ensure accurate final placings by putting more weight on the number of different players you can defeat rather than your ability to win luck-of-the-draw matchups.
Blank Bracket:
Example (hypothetical SWEET IV bracket):
Ties are broken by:
1) number of sets won
2) head-to-head matchup
3) overall winning percentage in games
If still tied (only possible with a 3-way tie), each player will face off against their two opponents again in a one-game playoff. Make sure to keep track of stock counts; if there is yet another tie in sets and winning percentage, the player who loses the fewest stocks is the winner of the round-robin.
Venue/Parking
========
Parking (A)
Unfortunately, the Maynard Parking Structure is just about the only reliable parking nearby on weekends. You have to pay $1/hour, so drivers will have their venue fee waived at the tourney to help make up for that cost.
Venue (B)
Mason Hall, Room 1427
419 S State St
Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Please do not call the TOs for help getting to the venue unless you are absolutely and completely lost. The venue requires our attention at all times, so we will not go out and try to find you. It's your responsibility to print out these maps if you're unfamiliar with downtown Ann Arbor. Worst case scenario, ask a stranger for help. Mason Hall is not hard to find.
Housing
========
The following housing is available,
Friday night:
Juggleguy (off campus, room for 6-7 people)
Moose (on campus, room for 2-3 people)
Saturday night:

Send a PM to Juggleguy or Moooose as soon as possible if you need a place to stay. Neither of us have extra mattresses lying around, so bring a sleeping bag!
