Victor’s Pot:
After the Venue Fee is paid, entrants must pay a fee that is put into the Victor’s Pot.
The Victor’s Pot fee is $10 for each singles tournament and $5 for each doubles entrant (Note: $5 per person, not per team). No discounts are issued for the Victor’s Pot fees.
All of the pot fees are split and given out to the winners. Top 3 in singles and doubles receive the payout of 60/30/10.

Itinerary Notes:
Please be to your respective tournament approximately 30 minutes early. Once the tournament begins, no more entrants will be accepted.
Know that we are flexible, and if there are still people in line at the beginning of the tournament, we will extend registration as long as we can.
You may register for all tournaments at once when registering. It is not necessary to wait until the tournament to register. You also do not need to be to the venue when doors open, just simply 30 minutes before the tournament you are entering.
A Tournament will end whenever Grand Finals ends. If there is a time constraint, we may ask for equipment to be broken down before a tournament is over in order to make room for the next tournament.

Equipment regulations
Full Setups:
You will receive $1 off for each full setup or TV as required below. The discount is doubled if you bring both a setup and a TV. Requirements include unlockables and DLC within the games themselves.
Since this is a community tournament, bringing your equipment makes this tournament run smoother.
For this tournament, the following will provide you with a discount if you bring them with you.
Make sure that all equipment is labeled. We want to make sure that you go home with your own equipment, Timothy! We have adopted a white Wii controller because its parents abandoned it.
We are grateful that you are bringing your system. Please be sure that each setup meets the requirements outlined below. These are only the basic requirements, unlockables, and DLC. Naturally, Smash 4 has the greatest range of requirements.
We may lack the power splitters and extension cords to use everyone’s equipment, so if you have either an extension cord or a power splitter, please bring them. This will help the tournament run smoother as well.
Certain equipment will be rejected, not because we’re pathetic, sadistic, losers with a sick sense of fun. In reality, we will reject certain equipment solely because it does not meet the requirements above. Any rejected equipment will not receive a discount.
However, if you bring equipment that meets tournament requirements and it is not used, you will still receive your discount.
Please remember to bring all of the components, as we will check them when they are set up. We are very appreciative of you bringing your equipment, so please bring it all so we can enjoy it all.
Some easily overlooked equipment that may be rejected includes the following:

Modded Consoles
Certain consoles that have mods may or may not be legal depending upon what type of mod it is.
Banned modded consoles are consoles that do not allow for regular game play because of edited values of certain attacks and moves, as well as models that are incompatible with the character.
Examples of banned mods:
Tournament legal modded consoles are consoles that only change the physical look of characters, stages, etc. In certain cases, the mod as a whole will not be banned, only certain specific character skin selections that hinder regular game play (e.g. Kirby's shopping cart skin). These will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. If something is reasonably in question, you might as well just skip it for the sake of time and fairness.

Controller Regulations:
All normal controllers are acceptable for all systems.
As long as there is a slot for it, the controller is legal with these exceptions:
- Competing with Gamepads is banned. This is due to the fact that only one Gamepad is allowed per console, so if two people want to play on the Gamepad against each other, one would have to give it up. Simply banning this will avoid this conflict altogether.
- Modded/Macro controllers are banned. Modded or Macro controllers refers to controllers that have extra buttons that allow a player to make certain inputs that gives them an unfair advantage, such as a frame-perfect technique.
Also note that there are a few controllers that are under dispute as to universal legality, but they are legal here. These controllers are:
- 3DS is allowed for gameplay as a controller. Download the 3DS Controller from the Nintendo eShop before the tournament to use it.
- The Smashbox and all similar setups are legal, due to the fact that there has not been a compelling reason to ban it thus far.
