I'm encouraging all of you, especially those who travel long distances, to book a room and enjoy yourself even further and provide yourself with some well-needed relaxation after your travels! Who would want to travel abnormally long distances to a tourney only to have to go back on the same day? Housing provided here!

(Those Interested in) Rooms:
  1. Bloodcross,
  2. Prawn, Mattdovzeb,

I hope to get at least 10 rooms booked! There are 17 rooms in the conference room building alone (not including the entire venue), if we achieve 17 rooms then I'll extend the amount of people per room to 5-6 to save the trouble of having to book rooms outside the conference room building. Lets make this happen as well, guys!




Closest Airport:

TF Green Providence International Airport

I'll be more than willing than to help pick you up and take you back to the airport if needed.

    **Note: Since random stage selection is not available, agreeing to start the set on Hyrule Temple (no other stage) is acceptable.

    First stage is random unless agreed upon(look at Neutral stages)

    If a player uses Ness, he may demand a repick if Saffron City is selected as a random stage. However, the stage can be counter-picked against Ness.

    Advanced Slob Picks: Loser picks stage first, then winner picks character, then loser picks character (in that order)
  • Written by Malva00 from Smashboards.com
    • "Hyrule is the most neutral stage in the game. I think the first match should be on the stage with the least disadvantages for all characters. (unless agreed upon) means both players can agree to play on ANY stage for ANY match.

General Location (Distance from major areas):

  • ~1 Hour from Boston
  • ~30 Minutes from Providence
  • Literally 5 minutes away from the RI/MA border
  • ~1 Hour and 15 Minutes from Hartford

Goals?

I'm aiming to label this tournament as Regional potential. I hope to gain attendance from all over the Atlantic North (NE, NY, NJ, etc...) and possibly higher! It's a long shot, but I believe we can do it! I hope to see many familiar faces as well as newcomers striving for a good time! Enjoy!

Enjoy

Looks nifty. Will come if I'm not too busy, etc.

Was this the same venue that the owner changed their mind about with a whopping two days notice?

Just a reminder to everyone that GROAT (Greatest Regional Of All Time!) is this weekend. So prepare your overdose of HYPE! As this really is looking like our "Greatest Regional Of All Time" in New England.


We are just above the 100 mark for Brawl attendees and about 40 for Melee attendees, but there is plenty of room for more to come.

Updates:

  • Snacks/drinks/pizza will be sold during Brawl/Melee day.
  • I will be guaranteeing at least 7 TV's from ME ALONE - so expect a ton of setups.
  • We got the venue for infinite time - no closing time
  • On Friday, the check-in time is 6PM or after - just a reminder that Friday is the smashfest and day for SSB64. Couple that with a pizza party and throw in a bunch of party games such as Mario Party, DDR, etc.
  • On Brawl day, we are considering Pools. Since there is no limit to how long we have the venue for, I would think Pools would be a great addition - however only if we get 5 people + 1 TV per pool, which is definitely possible. As for Melee, up to you guys really.
  • Looking to hold a raffle, however I don't have much to raffle off I'm afraid - would be too much work as well, your thoughts?
  • We will be getting direct deliveries from Harry's Pizza. I'll probably make them $1-2 a slice depending on its size (Small, Large, X-Large).


Important:
We've booked quite a few rooms now, but definitely could use more. If you are a single individual and don't want to pay the $88 per room (by yourself) please let me know and I'll try to arrange a preferable roommate for you. The cost is $22 per person for a 4 person room. That would be great, thanks.

If there are anymore updates I will let you know of them. Also if you have any questions please feel free to let me know.
