After two awesome turns in Santa Fe, Smash Fiesta is back and better than ever in New Mexico’s largest city!

Smash Fiesta 3 will bring a lot of fun new additions and changes, and we hope all of you will join us for TWO days of intense action September 3rd and 4th—Labor Day Weekend!

We’re thrilled to be teaming up with an amazing venue, Warehouse 508, conveniently located in Downtown Albuquerque. The venue includes tons of space, along with concessions for sale.

We’ll also be welcoming some local businesses to Fiesta 3 offering great items for sale, including our much-loved friends from Gamers Anonymous. Details to come as we confirm more vendors!

Special thanks to our other sponsors who helped make this possible: -We Know Video Games -Papaburgers -T-Mobile

Now here’s the big news. The first two editions of Smash Fiesta were exclusively Smash 4 events. Now, we’re throwing the doors open to include Melee, Project M and—for the first time in a LONG time in New Mexico—Brawl! Singles and doubles will be offered in Smash 4, PM and Melee while Brawl will be singles only.

We strongly encourage everyone to register ahead of time. Anyone who registers by August 27th will save $5 on venue fee and receive priority in the seeding process. Last-minute entrants will pay more, and be placed in “death pools”. You do NOT have to pay ahead of time—just sign up to reserve your spot and lock in the discount. There’s really no good reason not to!

Doors will open at 11:00am on Saturday, September 3rd for day-of registrations, payments for pre-registered players and setup.

We will begin doubles (Smash 4, Melee and PM) promptly at noon, with singles for all four games beginning promptly at 3pm. Be on time—anyone who arrives late or disappears when their match is called WILL be disqualified.

Doubles will start and end on Saturday, while singles for all four games will have their finals on Sunday. Players advancing to the final brackets will be re-seeded following the conclusion of pool play Saturday in an effort to avoid putting friends and/or players from the same region too close together in the early stages of the finals.

We will also aim to have extra setups available on Sunday for anyone who’s not in the final bracket and wants to keep playing.

FinalSmashTV will be streaming Melee, Brawl, and Smash 4, our friends at Enchanted Esports will be streaming Project M—so tell your friends who can’t make it so they can tune in!

To our out of town and out of state players—come one come all! Our team will do everything we can to help with housing and transportation, on a first-come first-served basis. Contact us ASAP if you’re interested!

As always—we need all the setups we can get, so if you have consoles and/or TVs and monitors, PLEASE bring them! Let us know if you can so we can have an idea how much to expect.

We also have five—count ‘em, five!—varieties of t-shirts available, all inspired by each game in the Super Smash Bros. series. Contact us if you’re interested—proceeds go to help boost the pot bonuses for each game!

1st Place – 50% 2nd Place – 20% 3rd Place – 13% 4th Place – 7% 5th Place (tie) – 3% 7th Place (tie) – 2%

Finally, but very importantly, here are the rules we need to follow at the venue. Anyone caught breaking them may be immediately removed from Fiesta 3 at our discretion:

-No tobacco use inside the venue or within 25 feet of the entrance, and no e-cigarette use inside the venue

-No drug or alcohol use PERIOD—anyone under the influence will be asked to leave

-No violence (or threats of violence) of any kind will be tolerated

-No damage to any venue property, including walls, floors, chairs/tables, bathrooms, equipment or anything located inside or on the outside of the building

-No harassment of other players, keep all trash talk inside of the game

-No tampering with or stealing anyone’s personal property, including setups/accessories/controllers—We will absolutely call the police if we catch you stealing someone’s stuff; the TOs will be watching and there will be on-site security as well, so…don’t even think about it!

If you have any questions or concerns about anything—please don’t hesitate to ask!

Smash Fiesta 3 is going to be a blast! We hope to see all of you there!
