ARSC Smashstrike is a big tournament with a player limit of 96. This tournament is a pools tournament. There are 2 pools with 48 players in each. These players will battle it out for lots of days. I will annouce what matchups would be taking place each day. After 48 players are eliminated, it turns into a double elimination bracket. For this tournament. SSF2 and SSBU are main events. I will host the SSF2 event while somebody else will do SSBU. Whoever wins any match must send me a replay (has to be ssfrec). These replays will be recorded. The tournament matches are Bo3 until it turns into Bo5, i will announce it so dont do Bo5 until it is announced by me to do so for the rest of the tour. Also, SSF2 and SSBU competitive rules will be followed. If a match is played without them being followed, it will not count. Winner of the tournament will be given a 100$ gift card. So, thats all for now. If you have more questions, DM me (on disc), dont feel afraid to! (Disc: majority25#3432)
