Changes since other BEST's:
Venue fee: We have a $5 venue fee, and all of this money goes directly to RPI's relief effort for Japan.
Singles entry fee: Changed to $10.
Melee stages: Rainbow Cruise, Brinstar, and Kongo Jungle 64 are banned for both singles and doubles. See stages below. Discussion for this is open, along with the Brawl stage list.

Where:
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Student Union in Troy, NY at the intersection of Sage Ave and 15th St. Go to Google Maps and search for "Rensselaer Union, Troy, NY."
The tournament room is on the first floor this time, in a room called "Mother's." We'll have signs up directing people there. This is the same room as the one used for 2nd BEST.

Zoomed in plus parking. Greens are definitely free, and yellow areas are questionably metered on weekends (including along 15th St).
