Event Guide

Planning a local Super Smash Bros. tournament? Whether it's a college lounge, gaming café, or rented hall, getting the right table and chair setup is crucial for both competitive play and comfort.

General Setup Guidelines:

• Players: Expect 2 players per match station, so one table can usually host a setup.
• Tables: For a 16-player bracket, plan 4–6 eight-foot tables.
• Chairs: You’ll need at least 16 for players, plus another 5–10 for spectators and staff.
• Organizer Area: Reserve 1 additional table for TOs (tournament organizers) to manage brackets, setups, and questions.

Spacing Considerations:

• Keep at least 3 feet between setups so players and spectators aren’t cramped.
• Make sure each station has access to power—use surge protectors and tape down cords for safety.

Viewing Areas:

• If you’re running streamed matches or finals, set up 1–2 rows of 6–10 chairs facing the main screen.
• Use signage or banners to mark this area and keep it clear of clutter.

Atmosphere Boosters:

• Black tablecloths give setups a clean esports look.
• Add foam padding or grips to chairs for longer events.
• Label each station for bracket clarity.
