Our biggest event last semester was, without a doubt, our twice-held Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament. Well, it’s back… and we’re keen on making the tourney our best yet with some new rules, some great prizes, and – as always – lots and lots of fun and competition to be had!

Here are the basics:

  • Held Saturday October 4th, 2008 in Lobo A/B; 3rd Floor of the UNM Student Union Bldg.
  • Registration begins at 2:00 pm and goes through 3:00 pm, which is when match play starts.
  • Entry fee is $5.00 per player. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 competitors.

As for the rules:

  • 3 Stock Match Play
  • 8 Minute Time Limit
  • Items set to Off and None
  • Double-Elimination, Best 2 out of 3 for qualifiers; Best 3 out of 5 for finals

And that’s it for the first meeting! Thanks to everyone who came – I hope you all enjoyed what we had to offer you, be it the anime or the video games. Forgive the awkward introduction and the delayed set-up… we’ll have everything up and running at squarely 2:00 next time. The awkwardness, on the other hand… ;)

The poll for deciding our semester long shows is now up on the site. We’ll leave it up until next Thursday at Midnight, so get your opinion to us before that time rolls ’round. Also take note of the fact that you can make two choices, so take advantage and make your favored couple shows clear.

And before you leave, I encourage all new members to visit our forums and create an introduction topic. It’s a great way to get to know the people who frequent club, plus, the forums are a great place to talk anime, games, and manga! ‘Til next time!
