As I'm sure few of you are aware, AnimeLeague hosts a bi-yearly event at the rocket complex in London, in which there are normally Brawl and Melee tournaments.

This year, we're trying to make a much bigger deal of it, so we're inviting SmashBoards!
Hey it's Fuzzyness deciding to help out and run this tournament at London Gaming Con! So going to make sure this runs as smoothly as possible with the help of Jolteon and Anaky

This is going to be a big influence on UK smash so I want everyone to try and attend, especially cause its an awesome 2 day event with the whole gaming community in London and other Competitive communities around =)

Europeans are welcome! =D

Grand Finals for Melee Singles + Brawl Singles will be projected in front of hundreds of gamers!

Also, there's going to be other games going on including DDR, other fighting game tournaments so if you know anyone else interested feel free to invite them :D

Suffice it to say that you will get a good attendance. Most of the UK smash community have been talking and are very interested in attending.

I searched on the website but couldn't find this (sorry if I missed it):

Is the Melee tournament Saturday or Sunday night?

And are their setups for Melee friendlies during the whole convention?

What the **** is with these 18+ only tournaments. Youre gonna lose attendance, im 17, ive hosted and been too many tournaments. Such a stupid rule. Cant believe im going to miss out cuz of some ******* age limit for some 3 year old party game.

I think the age limit is cuz this is hosted by "AnimeLeague" and people who go here for just that (anime) are probably pedophiles.

Smash though. In UK. I'm deff interested (and 19).

The reason for 18+ becauase theres a bar inside is the worst reason ever. Its like saying you can't go in a pub or club because theres a bar. Its not like everyones gonna be purchasing alcoholic beverages, and you don't have to be 18 to purchase soft drinks :L
I just went to a gig recently and there was a bar there and the gig was 14+!

^ Honestly that doesn't make sense. Last time I checked alcohol has to be bought, and when doing so you're required to show your ID when asked to.

What potential lawsuits? Stop talking out your *** GP. It would make sense to ID people at the bar for alcohol, not the tournament. There's no law which states you can't go in pubs/clubs cuz you're under 18. So this tournament isn't breaking any laws unless they sell alcohol to someone who's under 18.

Actually there is a law where you cannot go into pubs when you are under 18 if you do not have the correct licensing some places don't bother getting it and im gonna guess this is why?

Maybe (i have never been to an anime convention) its because some anime's and manga's are graphic or very violent etc and are for people over the age of 18 and they would require coverage for that too.

Also if the money to get in to the whole event goes into the prize money then that could be seen as a form of gambling also requiring a legal age of 18

lol i work in a pub which is affected by this very law because we lack the proper liscense (owner is too cheap to get to sorted out properly XD). this always conufsed me, i was allowed to go there to work, but not for drinks
its likely this place has the same issue
