Southwest SFC17! NEW CENTRAL VENUE (AC)! Random 3v3!

Welcome to Smash Fight Club! This is SFC17!
The Sm4sh Sunday weekly for Houston, Texas!

At the new venue The Heights Bar, SFC continues with the side event of RANDOMLY PAIRED 3v3s!

We will put all of the player's individual names into a hat, and draw them one by one, creating random teams of 3!

The only catch is that at this venue smashers age 17 and younger can not attend. However, feel free to tune in to the stream! As always it will be twitch.tv/SmashUnited!
So come on down and get your match streamed and put onto youtube!

Any and ALL feedback after this tournament will be taken into consideration and will serve to improve everyone's experience at future SFC events.

Wait... Only 18+ can enter the venue? Are you serious? I thought this game was meant for children, which is many of the players out there. I see you losing a lot of your contenders. It just doesn't make sense to me, having the venue available to only adults. I prefer you move back to the previous venue. I really wanted to attend this tournament, but since I'm 13, I can't. Can you please move back after this tournament? Many players in Houston are under 18 and want to play Smash 4 with other players that are not online. And this is the only Smash scene in Houston (at least from what I see). Just please move back. Make the tournament accessible to all ages. Please!

The old venue was cramped and had no AC, this is centralized and is 10/10 a good move. We've only had a handful of smashers each event 17 and younger. Also, if you PM me that you are from East/North/West/South Houston, I can refer you to other events in our city that happen either every week or every other week.

I would love to go as well, but its in a bar and I'm only 14. I would also like to know what tourneys are near my area. I live in the southern west side of Houston which is sugar land, Texas. The only tourneys I know of is SFC and insomnia.

Thank you.

Sorry about the late reply. This is a FB group with Smash events in West Houston. Not too bad for ya. They alternate between Smash 4, Melee, and PM every Friday. Meaning there is a Smash 4 tourney there once every 3 Fridays.

Krebs the man puttin in work!
