This is a much more simpler version of the map shown below.

The protrusion at abe fischler blvd (30 st), at the top portion of the map, that goes into the campus but looks like it went into nowhere is where the library is at. And the East Main Entrance that leads to the Free parking is on this map also.

Let me know if you could come and enjoy the tournament when your there!


Also, if you know anyone interested in Halo 2 (On Jan 29), DDR (March 24), and Tekken 5 (April 14), and would like to participate and help out in bringing the games, memory cards and/or systems, let them know. We're also making a tournament for those games also.

Club Website

www.nova.edu/avacs

Update!!! 2/17/07

e-mailed me at dcevallo@nova.edu preferably if the consent form doesn't print right so I could send you an attached e-mail.
You could pm this info.


Update!!! 2/22/07

I put the consent forms for those under age of 18 on the AVACS website.

I sent the request and it was voted in favor to allow minors to come in to the event, but not enter the tournament for $5. So it will be a smashfest for those of you that'll come. Let me know if the form prints out correctly from online. You could also receive it by e-mailing me and I'll e-mail you the form attached with the e-mail.

 

[Linguini]

Ill be there with some hoes and drugz......

 

[Honors]

I added you linguini. Let me know and questions, concern, and/or suggestions for the tournament if you have any.

Also, one of the SGA spoke with me saying the the 2 tvs that we got are from SUB, which may make it to 3 tvs + the 4 hanging tvs and one in the conference room.

I will clarify it, and if that is the case, I could call media services to see if they could provide us with tvs if needed. Plus, if I know people are coming with cubes and tvs, then I would know what needs to be done in terms of set up.

_______________________________________________________________
I found out that the 2 tvs are separate from the ones that SUB has, meaning that we have 5 tvs (Not including the 5 in the old flightdeck).

 

[Mcscruff]

ill be there...

 

[Delslayer]

danm i would go but its on my birthday so i dont think ill be able to.

 

[Honors]

That sucks Delslayer, but enjoy your birthday.

Linguini, could you tell me the names of the people that are coming with you?

 

[Zatren6]

Maybe I'll go to this...

 

[Linguini]

Aight besides the hoez, ill bring a cube, kou, and another friend.

 

[Forsworn]

As long as nothing school related holds me back, I'll probably be there. Maybe with a Cube and Smash.

 

[Mcscruff]

no doubles?

 

[Honors]

Not for this tournament. Definitely in the future. I want to get an idea about the length of the tournament for singles.

Just letting you all know that the link to the photo of the University Center with the Rosenthal building is up.

 

[Andreez]

Hey Honors. I'm 100% new to this site but would really like to get involved. I'm really interested in this tourney but can say I'm more interested in any tourneys for 64 . If you know of any or know where to find them please let me know. I will definately try to attend to check things out and see how things are run to maybe enter the next one. How often are tournaments held in the miami/ft. lauderdale area?

 

[Honors]

Sure, you could definitely come. Just being there won't get you charged. Free play will be before and after the tournament. Now if you enter the tournament, that is when you get charged.

The tournaments are frequent around this area. There is at least one tournament a month, and its not uncommon to see 2 or even 3 on the same month.

As for 64 tournaments, they are rare. I know one person who hosts it once every school year and its, which is 5 min away from the University I go to. I spoke to him recently, and if your interested, I'll look for up the info of the High School he goes to. I believe his event is the thursday before mines. I'll speak with too to let him know that your interested.

I know that some people do 64 tournaments as a side event sometimes, and I know that people use certain equipment (forgot the name) to play online with other people across the nation.

Here is the discussion area for Smash 64. There you could ask how to get the necessary equipment to play online.

http://www.smashboards.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=11

Here is the link to the Florida Thread. If you haven't seen it, definitely check it out. It contains archives of past tournaments, floridas history, florida's videos, an area to see how many smashers in your area, and upcoming tournaments.

[Andreez]

That sounds great I really appreciate your help. I am definately more of a 64 player and can safely say I am by far the best from everyone I have ever played. I want to see how I am among others. My skills in Melee are pretty much all from my knowledge in the 64 thats y although interested in Melee tourneys, I am more excited about the others... especially if you said there is one coming up. I am quickly learning that you can set up clans? I can definately create my own amazing team but I just want to know more dates! Please keep my posted!, and feel free to email me, I check it often. Thnx

 

[Honors]

Andreez:

I was told by Git (The host for the school) that there will be 64 if someones bring a n64 at his event, so it is uncertain. Also, the school is called Mcfatter High School. Most likely he'll post when the event gets closer.

 

[Andreez]

Is "Git" his username so i can get in contact w/ him? Cuz I won't mind bringing mine... and when exactly is it?

 

[Honors]

His username on smashboards is "Jit" and his event is 2 days before mines on thursday as of now, which he is still planning.

 

[Honors]

bump

Anyone coming to this tournament?

 

[ggmax]

the time says 1-8pm. Will the tournament take that whole time? or do you have a warmup period and stuff?

 

[Honors]

There will be a 2 hr warm up period. The tournament will start at 3pm, and we'll be there at 12 for set up. Depending on the length of the tournament will also decide free play afterwards. I'll update the schedule.

You coming also? Let me know.

 

[ggmax]

ill let you know in a couple days. I definetly will if i can get a ride.

 

[Honors]

:Bump:

Tournament less than a month away.

 

[Jit]

I'll be sure to go.
The host of this is Lighted_Warrior's brother in case anyone remembers him... then again he went off to college in Tampa 2 years ago, but he played at that OutLan tourney.

 

[Honors]

Update! 2/9/07

Tournament will be in the Old Flight Deck

So we have 5 hanging tvs. 2 of ours, and 3 from SUB making it 10.

We have 4 guaranteed GC with Smash. So bring a GC, Smash, and memory card if you can to provide a smoother run tournament.

12 pm is set up

1-3 pm is warm up

3 pm to whenever is tournament

8pm ending of tournament

I was just told that I cannot give out cash prizes. However, the money split between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd would be given as the gift card of your choice and sent to you by mail (same amount as if given from cash prize).

 

[Rexx]

1 quick qeustion honors ur not going to hav teams?

 

[Honors]

We're not going to have teams. We're going to make this tourny simple and build from there in adding more in the future.

I doubt we're going to take the whole 3-8 pm section, since the last time I hosted we had double elim with 24 people and only took less than three hours.

We (as in Smashboards and participants) could decide a possible side event after the tournament if there is time instead of free play.

Let me know if your coming and if your bringing a cube or anything,

 

[Mcscruff]

Why no cash prizes? just mail us the money instead of the gift cards.

 

[Honors]

Unfortunately handing out cash prizes would be considered "gambling" according to University and SGA policies.

And since they know that we are charging people outside of NSU, they'll be expecting us to hand them the money so that they could purchase the gift cards and mail it to the winners.

I'll speak with them and see what I can do, but I can't guarantee that they'll change it. So it will stay as that for now.

Found the policy to confirm it.

"Gambling
Gambling may include, but is not limited to, wagering on or selling pools on any athletic or other event; possessing on one’s person, premises (e.g., rooms, residence unit, car), or in a computer account or electronic format, any card, book, or other device for registering bets; knowingly using or permitting the use of one’s premises or one’s telephone or other electronic communication device for illegal gambling; knowingly receiving or delivering a letter, package, or parcel or electronic or telephonic communication related to illegal gambling; or playing or engaging in any game, at any place, by any device whatever for money or other thing of value. Students found in violation of the prohibition against gambling may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal."

From here

http://www.nova.edu/cwis/studentaffairs/forms/ustudenthandbook.pdf

From American Heritage Dictionary

"pool2
n.
1. a. A game of chance, resembling a lottery, in which the contestants put staked money into a common fund that is later paid to the winner.

b. A fund containing all the money bet in a game of chance or on the outcome of an event."

 

[Rexx]

I'm going honors and my good friend Seibrik is too, theres also bout 3 more ppl dat i can make come to this aswell.

 

[Rexx]

honors u mentioned something about halo 2 tourney going on the same day, if true let me kno because i hav a couple friends dat want to participate in it. Thank you.

1 more thing i got 1 of the 3 ppl to come so far so put his name down as "Nicholas".

Also your not having pools i presume?

 

[Honors]

Actually it was on January 29. Here is the original message of the tournaments and their corresponding dates.

Also, if you know anyone interested in Halo 2 (On Jan 29), DDR (March 24), and Tekken 5 (April 14), and would like to participate and help out in bringing the games, memory cards and/or systems, let them know. We're also making a tournament for those games also.

Maybe what you were talking about was the NSU convention that we were thinking of doing. We moved that to next semester so that way we could fundraise, find sponsors and people willing to help ahead of time.

We're still planning to do the tournament events the next school year.

Yea, there will be no pools. The placings in bracket will be determined randomly by picking the number out of the bag.

 

[Sensei Seibrik]

Dude, the name is Seibrik, S-E-I-B-R-I-K. Get it right
Maybe I should have picked an easier name to spell, like, Apple, or, Crackokain, sheesh.

 

[Honors]

Thanks for your confirmation. Good to see you around. I assume you read it all if you found that minor error? Hope to get that rematch and win this time!

 

[Rexx]

Oh Honors who do u main?

 

[Rexx]

Oh Honors who do u main?

[Honors]

[Rexx]

[Sensei Seibrik]
