The Brawl Challenge

The Brawl Challenge will be a series of 3 qualifiers in 3 different states. They will be in NJ, NY, PA and the way the qualifiers will work is that the top 15 from each of these events will receive a special invite into the Main Event of The Brawl Challenge. After the 3 qualifiers have happened and we have our 45 special invitees, we will have the main event at a place to be decided later. Once you have received a special invite into the Main Event you can not play in any other qualifiers because you can not receive more than one special invite.
Prizes for qualifiers are only the special invite to the Main Event of The Brawl Challenge. The pot at each qualifier is collected and will be used as the prize to the Main Event. Each qualifier will have a doubles tourney but prizes will be given out the day of the tournament and there will be no main event for Doubles.

For any questions pm or email: Gaming World or ChiboSempai
Dates and Locations will be announced at a later date so stay tuned for more info.

Qualifiers Info:
House Fee/Spectator Fee:$7
Entry Fee:$10

Doubles-$10 per team
1st- 70%
2nd-30%

Everyone who wins an invite to the Main Event will have to give a valid e-mail address so that they can be kept informed about the date of the Main Event of The Brawl Challenge. It is the winners responsibility to make sure that before they leave the tournament organizer has all of their info.
As a bonus anyone who participates in all 3 of the qualifiers but does not qualify for the Main Event will be put into a random draft lottery. Where 2 names will be pulled out and will receive a special invite into the Main Event. And last but not least the winner of each qualifier will be allowed to invite one Brawler of their choice to the Main Event as a reward for having won the qualifier. For a total of 50 special invitees to the Main Event
Main Event Info:
House Fee/Spectator Fee: $7
Entry Fee: $10

Here are some rough estimates for everyone to get a better idea of what the prize could be with 50 people coming to a qualifier.
50 people-$10 entry is $500 into the Main Event Pot
Main Event-$500 from 3 Qualifiers would be a $1500 Pot + $500 from the Main Events entry fee would be a total of about $2000 given out to the winners.

Here’s a rough estimate with $100 people coming to each qualifier.
100 people-$10 entry is $1000 into the Main Event Pot
Main Event-$1000 from 3 Qualifiers would be a $3000 pot + $500 from the Main Events entry fee would be a total of about $3500 given out to the winners.
Prize:
1st: 55%
2 nd: 25%
3rd : 10%
4 th: 5%
5 th: 2.5%

All of these events will be a bring your own controller event, any standard controller are acceptable.

for the sake of popularity, I would move Lylat Cruise to counterpick.

When you get a date and a venue location, make sure to put it in both the post and the topic title. This will attract more regional players.

Neutrals are fine IMO. Lylat johns are generally due to people not paying attention (which is fair, because it's hard to focus completely on the stage). But Lylat has been a legit neutral for every tourney I've been to in NJ. Course, I will let you know heads up that I may be gunning for it primarily because it's awesome for Marth to have both this and Battlefield as neutrals, because you then cannot ban both.

hopefully in less than two weeks we can announce were and when all of them will be.
Most likely NJ will be in the same venue. And NY might be in December, not sure about NJ, and PA is most likely in Jan.
