FAQs

1. Is the event fee per team or per student?

• The event fee is per team.  This includes 3-6 players for Super Smash Bros. and 2-4 players for Mario Kart 8.

2. What if a student does not show up the day of the event?

   1. • Teams must have the minimum amount of players for their game (3 for Super Smash Bros. and 2 for Mario Kart 8).  It is highly recommended that you use the allotment of additional substitutes for the tournament in case a student is not able to attend the tournament.

3. Can we have substitutes?

   1. • Yes!  As part of your event fee, you are able to bring 3 additional subs for Super Smash Bros. and 2 for Mario Kart 8.

4. Can we bring additional students?

   1. • You are allowed to bring additional students to spectate.  Please be mindful that space is limited in the venue.  You would be responsible for their transportation and meals as well.  

5. Are spectators allowed?

   1. • Yes!  Spectators are allowed, so please encourage your parents to attend.  We will try our best to set up spaces with the ability to spectate, however it is not guaranteed except for the 3rd Place and Championship matches which will be shown on the projectors.  Due to the nature of all the matches occurring at the same time, it may be difficult to have spectators watch a match without causing distractions or interference with the players.

6. Will breakfast/lunch be provided?

   1. • Meals will NOT be provided at this event.  Schools will be responsible for providing their own lunch for students.  We will be trying to hold to a strict schedule and have at least an hour break for lunch.  Students are also encouraged to bring their own snacks.

7. What should students take to the event?

   1. • We encourage students to bring their own controller for their game.  It is recommended that the controller be wired for easier pairing.  We are not responsible for issues with pairing with a console.  Controllers should not be modded or provide any unfair advantage to the player.  We will have some Joy-Cons available but are not guaranteed.  Students can also bring their own Nintendo Switch's for practice or entertainment as they wait for their next match.
