Day Two (March 25)
All times are approximations & subject to change. Players will be DQed if they do not show-up within 10 minutes after their match is called. The minimum DQ timer decreases to 5 minutes after Top 16 to account for hand-warmers. However, players will NOT be DQed if they have a melee/smash 4 match at the same time.
Pools will be bracket pools and top 32 (Smash 4)/48 (Melee) will be all best of five. All pools matches will be best of three. Top 6 of doubles will be best of 5. Top three get out from every pool and move on to the main bracket. Fourth place melee players will progress to the amateur bracket. Fifth place melee players will progress to the novice bracket. For Smash 4, fifth place players progress to amateur and seventh place players progress to novice. All matches in amateur bracket except winners/losers/grands will be best of three. Prizes will be awarded to first and second place of both novice and amateur brackets.
We are pleased to announce that we will be conducting a Q&A panel with our top players at the beginning of day two.
