Smash Rookie
Compete in Super Smash Bros Melee and Project M on your own or with a teammate at Iron Games Columbus. Iron Gaming is a tournament production company with a history in Halo and Call of Duty, and began expanding its horizons this year with Smite and CS:GO, and now I am excited to bring Smash to one of our major events. I'll be working with a team of South Atlantic and Midwest smashers to make sure we pull this tournament off well. The rest of the information for the tournament is available below, but if you have any questions or are interested in helping out, contact me:

There will be a discount of $10 at the door for players who bring a FULL setup, but only the first 12 setups in the door each day will be permitted. *If you bring a setup for Project M AND Melee, you still only get the discount/refund once, since venue fee is a one-time charge for the weekend*
PASSES:
Passes are available online here through EventBrite for both Melee and PM singles. Both passes do include weekend admission, however. So I recommend you just purchase one pass online, and you'll be able to enter additional events at the door.

(If entrants reach a breaking point that makes sense, this may be altered prior to the tournament's start.)
*NEW* DXRacer has seen fit to reward our Singles champions with one of their gaming chairs! They came in sponsoring the whole event, and expressed a lot of interest when we told them we were running Smash as well and wanted to be part of it! Unfortunately, the winners, if choosing to claim their chair, must pick it up Sunday when DXRacer closes their booth. It's up to you!

Singles: Pool play will be round-robin. Players with the best records will advance to bracket. Actual pool size and number of players that advance will be settled based on final number of entrants.

How to Play a Set:
- Players select their characters. Either player may elect to Double Blind
- Use Stage Striking to determine the first stage
- Stage Striking: For the 1st match, stage strike the starter list in 1-2-1 fashion. After each match, the winner of the previous match bans 2 stages (Players may counterpick a stage that they previously banned in the set, but may not counterpick a stage on which they won previously in the set). The player who lost the previous match chooses a stage, then the player who won chooses their character, then the player who lost chooses their character.
- The players play the first match of the set
- Prior to starting this match, either player may elect to Contest Port Priority or Neutral Start. Note: Only one of these two may be used, as both have a built in Port Selection mechanism using RPS. If there is a situation where a player would like to change which option they elected after playing the game of RPS, it is the opponent’s choice to allow it. The results from the previously played game of RPS will carry over.
- Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage/stages (if applicable). Refer to 2a.
- The losing player of the preceding match picks a stage for the next match.
- The winning player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
- The losing player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
- The losing player of the preceding match gets first pick of port. Either player may elect for a neutral Start, but RPS will not be played to determine first pick.
- The next match is played.
- Repeat Steps 4 through 9 for all subsequent matches until the set is complete.
