Traveling by plane?
If your looking to go by Ryanair, you want to check for Gothenburg City Airport. From there, you take the airport buss to the Central station.

Local Transportation:
When you get to the Central station (Centralstationen), you take tram number 11 towards Saltholmen to Käringberget. The easiest way to buy tickets is to get to Tidpunkten, in the middle of Drottningtorget (Centralstationen), and buy your ticket there!

Events:
Main events will be the Melee Singles and Teams tournaments. If we have time, there will for sure be some crew battles and/or low tier tournament. If we have time.


Schedule:
I do not count on this to work perfectly due to well, this being a smash event and all. But this is how I would like it to go, and I've made sure to take tons of time for each event just in case.
If you haven't signed up in time, you're screwed. If your not in place for your game in a 5 min radius, your also screwed. So just be around and it should all run smoothly and we should have ton of time over for Crews and other fun things

Thursday:
17.00: Venue opens. We will arrange some crew battles/round robins and more fun during the evening!

Friday:
13.00: Teams tournament pools start.
16.30: Dinner break.
17.30: Teams brackets start.

Saturday:
10.00: Singles pools 1 start.
13.30: Singles pools 2 start.
15.00: Lunch break.
16.00: Singles brackets start.

22.00: Award ceremony

Sunday:
16.00: Venue closes. Everyone needs to be out of the venue at this time so we can clean up after you.


Rules:
4 Stocks.
8 minute time limit.
Items off.
Bo3 Sets in pools and first round in brackets.
Bo5 Sets in all bracket games second rounds -> Semifinals.
Bo7 Sets in Semifinals + finals.
Timed out matches will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, replay that match. Any Sudden Death match is strictly not to be played.
Bring your own controller.
Controller Mods, Glitches, and tactics used to stall a match (wall-bombing, rising pound), are banned.
Blizzobbling/Wobbling is allowed up to 300%.
Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter Stage List until only 1 remains, and the players then play the first match on that stage. Players strike stages in 1 2 2 1 order.
Advanced Slob Picks: Loser may choose the next stage or select to go random. The winner may then change their character, followed by the loser.
Modified Dave's Stupid Rule: No player can counter pick the stage he or she last won on unless agreed upon by both players.
Team Attack will be ON.
Life stealing allowed.

The Tournament Host is the arbiter of all disputes.

General Rules:
I have already mentioned that I will be quite strict indeed with the times. I can't stand people not showing up on time or being generally confused. People should know the things they need to know, and if they don't, they shall ask me, or someone else in the crew.
Other then that, I want everyone to behave mature and I will let you know that I can throw anyone out for any reasons if I feel like it.
Since this is a public building, I will see no alcohol or drugs taken into it. This is strictly forbidden and will have major consequences, including the owner of the alcohol/drugs getting thrown out and banned from the tournament. You also can't smoke inside the building, but I count on people having enough common knowledge not to do that.


Random information:
If you need housing on Thursday, the venue will be open for you. I and some others will be there and we will start preparing for the event.
If you need housing from Sunday to Monday, look at the bottom of this post for the housing thread.

If you are allergic to nuts or such, where you might have an allergic reaction from being in the same room as it, you have to send me a PM and inform me about it asap.

For those who didn't know; we have SEK here in Sweden, not euro. 1 Euro is about 10 SEK.

You will sign up for the Singles tournament as you enter the building. if you then are 100% sure of who your teammate will be, you can sign up for that too.

We will have AJP at the tournament, recording games like the pro he is. He might even be able to get a stream up and running if we're lucky. If so, I'll post a link here

A local store and a Pizza is located about 5 minutes from the venue, easy as hell to find.

I wish good luck to all participants and I hope to see many contributions

MDSR is kinda gay and no brinstar... but I'm 20km away so I'll be there, with ma tvs, ****** with Ganon.

This is going to be so awesome, can't wait for it! =D

sweden stepping it up <3

Good to see. I'll look into this! ^^

Interested

Very interested.

gothenburg <3

i've never been there in january, and i still didn't see anything of the city, and not enough swedish chicks. i'll think about this.

Now i think of it, can you ever see enough swedish chicks?

Will be there.

Interested

Gothenburg is almost as good as Varberg. Once again I can just take the ferry straight there at a low cost (like possibly cheaper for me than to go to Copenhagen). I'll probably be there if i can convince a few other danes to go.

this tournament will be mad ****. i hope lots of OOCers come =D

oh yhea, i forgot to mention I can house 2 people. I live in a house within walking distance from the venue. =)

Coming and will be reppin' EC.

Yea, like we said, many Finns are interested.

Guaranteed to come to this =)

If any OOC players arrive at skavsta airport I'll be more than willing to house them. Just ask =)

This will be awesome !

Coming to this with the other Finnish players.

If this is melee only as it says in the topic name I approve 115%

HYPE!
Any old school dutchies looking for housing?

ahhhhhhh! ;_; jag är intresserad men jag behover tid för att rädda upp. january is too close =(

It's a big, big, big maybe. :/

I'll be there fo sho! This will be so amazing =D
Also: Amsah, I'll MM your Sheik 100 SEK with Kirby. Unless you're too scared to come
(seriously though, don't miss this)

Meh, I can't attend this.

I'll end up thinking I'll never be able to go to Sweden

I'm coming with other Finnish players.

Great to see so much interest in only a few hours, this tournament is going to be legen- wait for it- dary!


I updated the OP a bit. Adding more bo5 games, and bo7 in semifinals and finals. Also added in Random information that we will be cooking in place, and will sell dinner on Friday and Saturday to everyone!
Every time I update the OP, I'll post about it. So don't worry about missing out on anything.


@ ivootjes: I live in Sweden and I haven't seen enough of them

@ stelzig: You better talk some Danes into coming with you, you simply can't afford missing this tournament!

@ VilNess: Glad to hear, make sure to post here when you got a nice list of Finnish people coming

@ RTpmwe: Should I add you on the list? Are you sure your coming?

@ Eikelmann: I apologies for the quite short notice. This was planned to be due this summer at first, but summer's so booked up that we decided to have a winter tournament for all the tournament longing people out there. Hope you can figure out a way to get here anyway

@ Slhoka: That sux. You'll just have to come on B.E.A.S.T 2 i gues, if we'll ever arrange that one

@ Paju: Same as RTpmwe.

Meh I´ve always wanted to go to sweden, but I can´t make it to this...
If it only was one week later...
