Let’s walk.
DMGC and the team that brought you Run, Don’t Walk presents For Now, Please Walk – the return of the Iowa Smash Bros. Arcadian! This time around, Ultimate and Melee will be featured.
There will also be a P+ Singles side event. This bracket will NOT be arcadian style, and anyone can enter.
In Arcadian events, ranked players are ineligible to enter for Singles. Both games will have Singles events as well as a Big Brother Doubles event, where players ineligible for Singles can team up with an unranked player.
Melee Singles will be having a $100 pot bonus contributed by our past Arcadian winners! Big shoutouts to oh, diggles137, Maple, GDubs, and Tienda!
For Melee and Ultimate Singles, unranked out of state players are allowed, if you are unranked in your region AND have attended an Iowa tournament this year; with HEAVY discretion by the TOs. If you wish to enter and are unsure if you would be allowed, reach out on Discord to Trejohn6 for any Ultimate inquiries, and SlowkingSSBM for any Melee inquiries!
Melee Singles will be running Round Robin Pools into TRIPLE ELIMINATION bracket. EVERYONE makes it out of Round Robin pools for at least one more set! Yes, it’ll be janky on Start.GG, but, it’s gonna be dope.
Please DM the event organizers (Trejohn6 for Ultimate, Slowking & GDubs for Melee) to see if you are eligible to enter if you have been ranked in the past and are interested in attending. Failure to do so may result in you being turned away at the door.
