Wobbling is allowed unless both players agree to ban it if one of them is playing Ice Climbers, otherwise it may be used until 250 percent, in which case it is considered stalling the match.

The Mages DQ Rule is applicable when a player is late for a match and it goes as follows:
2 Minutes Late – Warning

Housing READ THIS!
Unfortunately we cannot provide housing for everyone. We would prefer you call and make reservations for a hotel. At $59.99 per night, its doesnt get any cheaper than that. Split wit with 8 smashers, and you do the math. ALSO, If you are a florida resident, ask for the FL resident disscount and receive a room rental of $39.99!

Setups READ CAREFULLY!
For those that are on this list of set-ups, thank you and we really appreciate the help. As of right now, we are no longer excepting full set-ups. Only those on this list will receive the $10 credit to their door fee. If you bring a set-up you will be reimbursed on sunday.

We need 16 Wii's: First 16 to send a private message and bring a Wii will get the $5 discount.

is there gonna be enough time for everything? May i suggest these times also:

1. Doing all pools for all games on saturday, then doing all brackets on sunday
2. Using Friday for doubles pools for both, saturday for doubles bracket/singles pools, and sunday for singles bracket/crews

i personally like the 2nd one. because while crews are cool, you dont really want to jeopardize the completion of the tourney on time because of it.

so from fl gaming to this the door fee went from $10 to $15 and up to $20 now.

Can the door fee be reduced or knocked off like before if we bring a setup, or did they change that too?
