Our event ensures everyone gets to play plenty\, not wait forever\, and play against people of the same skill level. We got cute\, pink prizes for our top players and a plushie giveaway for our community. Come meet new people and enjoy some low-stress\, Casual Chaos. \n\n\n\nHow the event works\n\n\n\nCHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER: Before 3:30 PM check-in to sign up for our Smash Bros. Ultimate casual competition. Paid ticket holders get a guaranteed player spot. We reserve 8 player spots for free ticket holders and more player spots might be available depending on attendance. Free ticket holders are not guaranteed a player spot\, but you do get priority over walk-ins. After 3:30 PM paid 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. We’ll try to get as many rounds in as we can. Score high enough and you could win one of our top player prizes at the end of the event. For anyone not in the top four\, we do a plushie giveaway as thanks for being a part of our community. \n\n\n\nSilly Game Modes\n\n\n\nAny of the following silly game modes may be picked randomly at the start of each round and each game mode lasts 4 minutes long. No game mode will be repeated. In the final round we will end with the Final Smash game mode. \n\n\n\nSeasonal Game Mode\nEach season we pull out a different game mode inspired by them. \n\n\n\nWinter (December\, January\, February): Everything’s getting colder and the wind’s picking up. \n\n\n\nSpring (March\, April\, May): It’s time to hop around and enjoy all the emerging greenery. \n\n\n\nSummer (June\, July\, August): Everyone is spewing flames and the temperature is only going up from there. \n\n\n\nFall (September\, October\, November): The leaves are falling and the ground’s full of surprises ready to trip you up. \n\n\n\n\nBounce House\nGet ready to fly around! Use bumpers and super launch stars to send your opponents flying into the stratosphere. \n\n\n\n\nFinal Smash\nPick whoever you think has the coolest final smash and be the first to fill up your smash meter! \n\n\n\n\nFootsies\nEvery hit is a gamble with only 10 stamina to work with! Land a strike\, but be careful\, or someone else might catch you back. \n\n\n\n\nHot Potato\nThe bomb’s ticking\, but who will it explode on? The game will spawn in sticky bombs that players can hurl at each other. Dodge\, aim\, and pass the bomb before it’s too late. Just don’t be the one caught holding it when it blows! \n\n\n\n\nKing of the Hill\nTry and secure a precious 1-UP before your enemies can knock it out of your hands! \n\n\n\n\nMinion Master\nAssist Trophies are dropping! Grab them first\, control the battlefield\, and defeat your opponents’ assists for extra points. \n\n\n\n\nPokémon Trainer\nThere’s wild Pokémon everywhere! Grab all the poke balls you can and hope you get a master ball for one of those amazing legendaries. \n\n\n\n\nRampage\nThe bigger\, the better! Start large and collect mushrooms to grow to gigantic proportions and crush your foes in this wild\, destruction-filled battle inspired by the classic videogame Rampage. \n\n\n\n\nSalute The Sun\nHotheads are your key to victory! Hit them to make them bigger\, then use your character’s reflector or Franklin Badges to take control and set your opponents ablaze. \n\n\n\n\nSmash for Ants\nYou’re the size of a ant and can barely jump! Try and knock your opponents off stage where they can’t recover\, but watch out for mini-mushrooms that make you even weaker. \n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Info\nHow we’re better than traditional tournaments or free play\n\n\n\nOur event 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 system gives just enough structure so that everyone gets to play plenty and they get to play against people close to their skill level while no one is ever eliminated. \n\n\n\nPrizes\n\n\n\nAll prizes are provided by NC Eclectic Esports. \n\n\n\n1st Place Prize \n\n\n\n\nNC Eclectic Esports T-Shirt\n\n\n\nKawaii snack\n\n\n\nCollectible NC Eclectic Esports sticker\n\n\n\n1st Place Pin\n\n\n\n\n2nd Place Prize \n\n\n\n\nKawaii snack\n\n\n\nCollectible NC Eclectic Esports sticker\n\n\n\n2nd Place Pin\n\n\n\n\n3rd Place Prize \n\n\n\n\nCollectible NC Eclectic Esports sticker\n\n\n\n3rd Place Pin\n\n\n\n\n4th Place Prize \n\n\n\n\n4th Place Pin\n\n\n\n\nPlushie Giveaway \n\n\n\n\nOne player that isn’t in the top 4 will get a plushie as a prize\n\n\n\n\nPhysical Accessibility\n\n\n\nGizmo Brew Works – Durham Taproom has a nearby parking lot.
