Member Back to Top Post by m0th64 on I'm hosting a netplay invitational in the style of Smash Summit and the date has been tentatively set for November 19-20. The tournament will feature 10 of the best players in the world, as well as 6 more players as voted by the community. In order to be eligible, a player must either be ranked in the top 20 on the Slam Rank or have placed well at a tournament including or after Slam in the Swamp. ("Well" in this case is defined as top 8 at a major, top 5 at a regional, or top 3 at a local.) There are a total of 47 players eligible to enter, with 10 of those already invited.



The first day of the tournament will feature top player ironman events and a draft crew battle tournament.



The second day will feature a 16-person double elimination bracket, as well as a Kirby Air Ride city trial event.



The first 10 players that have been invited to attend are as follows:



Boasting Toast

Provider of Souls

Squeachu

Sorzan

RedRidingShrek

Rubbermaid

Lord Ape

Freddy "Stickyhands" Bacon

EIREXE

The remaining players will be voted in.



The first phase of voting will involve all 37 eligible players not already invited. Players and spectators each receive 20 votes to distribute among the eligible players as they see fit, and the 16 players with the most votes will move on to phase 2 of voting. Phase one of voting will open at 6 pm eastern time on October 18 and run until 6 pm eastern time on October 21. To cast your votes, tweet at me or inbox me here on Shrekboards or on the Shrekboards discord.
