PNP Games 2609 Portage
Super Smash Brothers Brawl Tournament
Saturday, February 20th, 2010
You’ve been asking for over a year, and now it’s finally here. We will be holding a SSBB Tourney to help raise money for the Winnipeg Harvest. All you need to enter is at least a $5 donation and your game face.
Rules are as follows:
-Matches will be 2 vs. 2 so bring a friend!
-Your partner and you will be exclusive for the duration of the tournament, feel free to also come alone as we can partner you up with other single entries (The last Smash Bros. tourney we had was won by two complete strangers after all!)
-No character restrictions, use whomever you want, whenever you want.
-Matches will be Stock (or Life) based, with each combatant having 3 Stock at the beginning of the match.
-The point system is based on how many Lives each player has at the end of the match, so try to keep both members of your team alive!
-All matches will be played with Wired GameCube Controllers on predetermined stages.
-Item Switch will be turned ON, with all items set to Normal Frequency. (Be prepared to fight for Smash Balls)
-Work together for a common prize!
-Each member of the winning team gets $35 dollars each in store credit, a parting gift, and a special prize TBA!
-The runners up will receive $10 dollars each in store credit and an awesome parting gift!
-Registration starts early at 12:00pm.
-Late entries are permitted until the official end of the 1st round.
-Because the game is rated T, entrants under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
-The Brawl to End Them All will begin at 1:00pm!
-All teams are rotated according to a point based system to ensure the fairest matches possible.
If you have any questions please contact l.skwarek@pnpgames.com, or call either location for details!
See you there!
