You may also use our Discord if you have seeding conflicts, wave preferences, or any general questions for our TOs!

This tournament has a purposefully low cap on attendees to promote better practice for players. 0-2er? Fear not, in a Round Robin you can lose all your sets and still play every set!

In a Round Robin, players will play sets with every other player. This increases the number of sets played exponentially as attendees increase, so this format is capped at 10 entrants. If we have less than 10 attendees, we will run a Round Robin.

In a Ladder, players freely find sets with opponents in order to score points. (Think of this like your favorite online ranked mode, just in person!) Whoever has the most points by the end of the event wins! If we have more than 10 attendees, we will run a Ladder. This format is capped at 18 entrants.

DQ TIMER will be set at 5 minutes after your set is called.

IF YOU’RE RUNNING LATE: Please post in #help at https://gamersgrove.gg/discord Be sure to “react” to the post in #roles-start-here to give yourself the Smash role when you first join our Discord.

Refund Policy: It is strongly recommended that you pay at the venue (we take both cash and card) if you are unsure if you will be able to attend. However if you have paid online we can repay your pot fee however the venue fee is final and will not be refunded.

PAYOUT PERCENTAGES

• 4 to 10 entrants will pay out Top 1
• 11 to 18 entrants will pay out Top 2: 70/30

THIS BRACKET IS CAPPED AT 18 PLAYERS.
