Hello everyone, I'm proud to announce the start of a new Salem Smashfests series!
Please come to the December 2017 Salem Showdown, the first in our series of larger, End-of-Month Events!
===== What are the Salem Showdowns?
They're our 'larger' events - larger prizes, a stronger focus on the game(s) of the month, special side brackets and events, and more!
We'll be alternating between Smash 4 and Melee + Project: M each month; here in December, we'll be starting with Smash 4!
Also, this will be the final Smash 4 (and GG) event for this Salem Smashfests PR cycle, so bring your A game!
===== Streams & Recordings
Assuming the venue internet cooperates, we'll be streaming all day on
https://twitch.tv/SalemSmashfests !
We'll have 2 recording setups however - the first will be running the main bracket stream, but the second one is available for exhibition matches, side events, or by request if you want a specific match recorded so you can review it later!
*If you want your match recorded, let us know - the earlier the better!*
===== Buy-In Fees
- Venu Fee [$3]
- Smash 4: Singles [$5]
- Smash 4: Doubles [$2 (per player)]
- Smash 4: Side Events (TBD)
PS) We'll also be hosting our usual Guilty Gear Xrd -Rev2- tournament as a side-bracket! (Buy-in is $1 as usual)
===== Pre-Registration
Pre-reg won't get you any money off of the door fee (yet at least - sorry, still working stuff out for the future!) but if you wouldn't mind it really helps us make sure things are running smoothly.
Also, if you pre-register you are higher priority for getting your matches recorded or streamed, so that's a bonus at least!
Pre-registration can be found here:

===== FAQ
Q: Will there be Melee or Project: M at this event?
A: Nope, but Melee & Project: M will get their own version of this event in January! The game list will alternate each month, so expect your favorite game to be there every other month!
Q: Do I need to bring my own controller?
A: Technically no, but it's highly recommended! We do have a few spare controllers, but there is no guarantee that there will be enough for everyone - and no promises about the quality of the controllers, either!
Q: I want to help out! Who can I talk to?
A: Contact Jaxas if you'd like to help out - and thanks in advance!
Q: I have a great idea for a side event! How can I suggest it?
A: Well, either contact Jaxas or simply post here in the event! If people are interested, and it's something doable, then it'll probably happen!
===== Final Notes
Thanks, and see you there!
