Announcement Smash Tournament - Official Bracket

Official Bracket
Well, the registration for the first official SMASH tournament has concluded, and the bracket is now set in place! If you look on the smash.gg website, participants can now see who they will be up against for the first round! Before we get into the bracket and other info, I would like to extend a grand "thank you" to all 30 players who signed up, I was worried about how many people would actually want to attend something like this, but I'm grateful that we got so many p
layers. For perspective, with 30 players we will have 29 matches! Matches will start as soon as October 2nd, 2020, lets take a look at the bracket now.

Additional Info
Before you go marking your calendars, be sure to note that this is all in Eastern Standard Time (the timezone where I live in) therefore, it is imperative that you convert the times over to your timezone. Lucky for our participants, I typed up a quick visual showing all times in their time-zones for their respective matches.

The visual above shows the time in EST (see below for more info on times), the players, and the map they will be playing on. The visual will be updated on Monday the 5th, 2020 after all matches have concluded for the first round. If your player head is Steve, that means your name on smashgg was not the same as your name on Shotbow. For those 3 players, see the text based brackets below to find out your opponent and time that way.

Some of you may also be wondering, why are Tibi14 and JonnyDvE facing nobody? Well, due to the odd amount of participants, two players had to be excluded from first round play to make the bracket work in a 1v1 format the entire way through, the alternative would be to have 2 matches be 3 players, but that would be unfair still. If anybody is curious about how the seeding (randomization) for the tournament was created, I have recordings of me seeding the matches which I can provide if anybody is curious, as well as me randomizing the map selection.

The Grand Conclusion
The tournament officially concluded on Halloween day (spooky!) with JackieChun430 taking the win, later uncovering that he was zymii (jiren74) in disguise! Congratulations to both him and Sonicboom_ for making it this far, the tournament was a blast to host and watch! Furthermore, there is a survey that, if possible, participants can complete to help give us an idea of how we can improve for tournaments in the future. Here's the link. No email is required to do this, and we will not be correlating responses to IGNs, thats just to make sure we dont get 50 bad responses from any sore losers .

Lastly, look out in the discord and youtube for the entire tournament in video format, theres a lot of matches to go through and edit, so it may be a while before its up!
