Fundraiser DESCRIPTION:A Place Where Every Gamer Belongs\n\n\n\nWhat\, When\, Where\nA Smash Bros. video game casual competition across the n64\, GameCube\, Wii U\, and Switch with no eliminations\, prizes\, and a 50/50 fundraiser for the LGBT Center of Raleigh.\n\n\n\nSaturday 4-11-26\, 2-4 PM\n\n\n\n128 E Cabarrus St\, Raleigh\, NC 27601\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n\n2 PM: Check-in opens up\n\n\n\n2:30 PM: Smash Casual Competition Starts\n\n\n\n4 PM: Event ends\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Description\n\n\n\n\nReady to brawl for good? Join Smash Out Hate\, a no-pressure Smash Bros. fundraiser where you can play\, laugh\, and take it easy while supporting a good cause! \n\n\n\nPlay or spectate\, hop in and out as you please\, and try out a game you might not have at home. No matter your age\, identity\, or skill level you’re welcomed at our events – we’ll even show you how to play! Our event ensures everyone gets to play plenty\, not wait forever\, and play against people of the same skill level. Earn collectible tickets for prizes and bring a DS or Switch for Animal Crossing\, Pokémon trading\, and Nintendo StreetPass. Come meet new people and let’s Smash Out Hate together! \n\n\n\nHow the event works\n\n\n\nCHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER: Before 2:30 PM check-in to sign up for our Smash Bros. casual competition. After 2:30 PM ticket holders forfeit their player spot. \n\n\n\nREADY\, GO: We will call your matches and tell you where to go. You will sit down and play in groups of three to four. At the end of your match\, record what place you got on the scorecard given to you and report back to the organizers. Wait times between matches may be up to 20 minutes. \n\n\n\nNEW CHALLENGER: Each match afterwards you will face people that scored similar to you and as often as possible on a different console. We’ll try to get as many rounds in as we can. At the end of the event you can turn in your tickets for prizes or hold onto them for something bigger. \n\n\n\nSilly Game Modes\n\n\n\nWe will be playing across all ages of Smash Bros. including the N64\, GameCube\, Wii U\, and Switch 2. Each console will have its own silly game mode using available items\, stages and custom modes. \n\n\n\n\nAdditional Info\nHow our casual competitions are better than traditional tournaments and freeplay\n\n\n\nOur casual competition system uses the best of both traditional tournaments and free play with none of the drawbacks. Traditional tournaments give structure\, but are stressful and people are eliminated quickly if they don’t know how to play well. Free play is less stressful\, but without any structure people can be stuck waiting forever to play and skill disparities are unmanaged. Our casual competition system gives just enough structure so that everyone gets to play plenty and play against people close to their skill level while no one is ever eliminated. \n\n\n\nPrizes\n\n\n\nAt most of our events you can collect tickets to turn in for prizes. You can find a current list of our prizes here. \n\n\n\nPhysical Accessibility\n\n\n\nThe LGBT Center of Raleigh has street level parking and is across from a parking deck. The space is ADA accessible and has ramps. \n\n\n\nBathrooms\n\n\n\nThe LGBT Center of Raleigh has two single occupancy bathrooms. \n\n\n\nKids and Young Children\n\n\n\nWe pride ourselves on being a family friendly place for all kids and their caregivers. We always make sure kids can have a great time by showing them how to play\, setting up their controls\, and matching them up with others who have the same level of experience as them. For caregivers\, we offer a welcoming\, low-pressure environment where you’re encouraged to relax\, play alongside your kids\, or just hang out. We know that caregivers come in all forms\, parents\, siblings\, grandparents\, extended family\, friends\, chosen family\, and we make sure everyone feels seen\, respected\, and included. \n\n\n\nInclusivity\n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome regardless of race\, gender identity\, age\, ability\, sexual orientation\, ethnicity\, religion\, nationality\, language\, body size\, neurodiversity\, and their intersections.
