[collapse=Directions]
The Rock Paper Scissors tournament is now being held in the Central Academic Building (CAB), on the third floor (rooms 373 and 377).
CAB is much easier to find than the previous location: it's the middle building on the right of the quad (the big-ish park in the middle of campus).
[collapse=Old Directions (GSB)]
It's easiest to park at the Stadium Car Park, located right next to the General Services Building (GSB) where the tourney is held.
If you're using public transit, it's only a short walk (< 3 min.) from the University LRT station, as shown below. You'd walk along the trees (south of the Quad), turn right at the Stadium Car Park, and then it's in front, on the left.
Coming from the Student's Union Building (SUB), it's easiest to go through the Ag-Forestry building, as shown below. This is the route we generally take at lunch, to go eat in SUB.
Once you're in GSB, it's room 211 on the second floor, right next to the elevators.

Timeouts
In the event that a match goes to time, the victor will be decided by the following steps, in order:
1. Breaking the ledge grab limit (if one player exceeds 35 ledgegrabs, that player will be declared the loser).
2. Number of remaining stocks.
3. Amount of damage percent.
4. If stocks and damage percent identical, the match will be replayed on the same stage, with each player at one stock, and a 3-minute timer.
Side Event Info:
Our side event varies wildly every tourney, including everything from Low Tier Doubles to Melee Crews. The side event is usually voted on at the venue, and the most popular pick is chosen.[/collapse]
[collapse=What to bring!]
Please bring your own Gamecube controller, as spares are not always available at the tourney. Wiimotes (and nunchuks) can be used if necessary, but they must be disconnected from a Wii after you're finished, or they may interfere with matches.
We rely on the community to provide setups, so please help us out by bringing your TV/Wii so that the tournament can run smoothly. CRT displays (the big and heavy ones) only please.
We generally break for a late-lunch/early-dinner between doubles and singles. Many of us eat at one of the restaurants in the Student's Union Building (SUB), as mentioned in the directions above.
