No venue fee; tournament fees will not surpass $10, but there isn't a solid plan just yet. Please bring your own controller. We are planning to start at 1:00 PM, arriving earlier than that is unwise if you don't enjoy standing around.
July will pick up the slack from the June tournament, featuring a SSB64 bracket, Brawl singles and doubles, Melee singles, and SSF4. Brawl will be an emphasis at this tournament, because Melee has dominated the last several months. It's only fair. Melee doubles will happen if we have a strong Melee showing or if there is enough time.
In the case of Melee severely outweighing Brawl again or large attendance numbers overall, Linkz will assist me in organizing the Brawl events. Both games will run at the same time, and playing in both games will be discouraged. We will have Brawl and Melee singles and doubles, along with SSB and SSF4, which will run when there is open time.
If your match is on a recorded setup, please use identifying nicknames so that Ugvts has an easier time keeping track of who is who when he uploads them.
March tournament will feature a normal double elimination singles bracket, and a double elimination Melee singles bracket. We will also try to do doubles brackets for both of these games. If the match is being recorded, please use identifying nicknames so that Ugvts has an easier time keeping track of who is who when he uploads them.
In parallel, we will hopefully be running a Super Street Fighter 4 double elimination bracket, but this is not promised.
If we end up having side tournaments, they will likely be single elimination, and games may include: Soul Calibur 4, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and Super Smash Bros 64 (Virtual Console). There is also the possibility of a Super Street Fighter IV double elimination tournament.
If you plan on showing up, it would be ideal to contact Terral in advance. This is to ensure that we know how many people to expect, and won't start the tournament before everyone has arrived.
Tournaments are scheduled for the third Saturday of each month, but this may change on a monthly basis.
For the curious, there should be some kind of food and soda, and the venue has water fountains. Expect pizza, but there's a chance we will need to pool together money.
If you think you may need to text someone, Terral can provide a cell phone number.

Don't break anything, keep to the rooms where the tournament is in. The tournament will most likely be in the basement; facing the main parking lot, there is a dark metal door by a window and drain-thing, inside the door the basement stairs are to the left.
