Super Smash Bros
The tryout format for this title will reflect its hybrid status in the Spring of 2024. The first day of tryouts will be an online double-elimination tournament in the standard competitive format where the applicant will compete against the other applicants. The second day of tryouts will be an offline in-person tournament hosted within the Bridwell Activity Center. The applicant will complete against other applicants in a round-robin gauntlet as well as the local and greater smash community within the Texoma PR region within a double-elimination bracket.
We strongly encourage students who do not have a LAN adaptor to participate within the Esports & Gaming Lounge to control for lag in the online lobby. If you have serial connectivity concerns, you may be disqualified from the bracket and alternative methods to demonstrate your online proficiency will be determined.
