Square Button Massacre @ Waypoint Cafe NYC
Feb 9 @ 11:00 am – 9:00 pm

We welcome you to Square Button Massacre The event will showcase the most classic form of FGC combat, King of The Hill. Choose out of any one (or all three) games we will be showcasing and dominate til someone knocks you off the sticks. The first place winner will have a glorious award as the second and third place winner will have something that would inspire them to do better.
The event will be at Waypoint Cafe! Located at 65 Ludlow Street. If you need to take public transportation you can take the B,D train to Grand street or the J,F,M train to Delancey/Essex Street INFORMATION ABOUT TRAIN DELAYS AND ANY OTHER CHANGES IN MTA SERVICE WILL BE POSTED ACCORDINGLY.
The games (and schedule) that will be showcased are….

Game One – Soul Caliber 6
11:00am Sign up / Friendlies
12pm Start
2pm End / Award Ceremony

Game Two – Dragonball FighterZ
2pm Sign Up /Friendlies
3pm Start
5pm End / Award Ceremony

Game Three – Super Smash Brothers Ultimate
5pm Sign Up / Friendlies
6pm Start
8pm End / Award Ceremony

RULES

1. SIGN UPS ARE FIRST COME FIRST SERVED
Sounds very simple enough right? Just because you signed up within the allotted hour time does not mean that you will get a chance to play in the event. We will be under a very tight time schedule and final matches will be at the time closest to the wrap of the game. The list will resume after the award ceremony but WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE EVENT.

2. SMACK TALK NOT TRUMP TALK.
We actually encourage competitiveness and trash talking. It’s welcomed but don’t be dicks. No questions asked you will be dropped, and if you’re with a crew. They will be dropped too. It’s not hard to say you suck without sounding like a 12 year old playing Call of Duty with voice masking.

3. KING OF THE HILL – YOU LOSE, YOU’RE OUT.
For the event you play until you lose. If you lose you cant play unless everyone else on the list loses and then by default it resets accordingly to the number you signed up as. As mentioned before the top 3 winners from each game will receive an award.

This goes without saying but BRINGING YOUR OWN STICKS IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is like the golden rule at FGC events but in case you don’t Waypoint Cafe NYC does have a very limited supply and we do mean limited. So if you don’t bring your own sticks we do not want to hear any crying about how you didn’t win cause of the controller you didn’t bring cause of “insert excuse here”.

The event will be streamed on The Waypoint Cafe Twitch channel.

More details about the event would be posted in the future!

Switch & Play NYC Two Year Anniversary Event @ Waypoint Cafe NYC
Mar 22 @ 3:00 pm – 11:00 pm

It’s been two years since Switch & Play NYC has formed, and we’re doing another anniversary event! Once again, we are grateful for all of you guys coming through these past two years!

We will be hosting a competition, similar to that of the Nintendo World Championships, where players will be completing in a series of rounds, where everyone will be playing different games with their own challenges. There will be different games each round, with sub rounds where those who lost have a chance of making it through.

The event will be hosted at Waypoint Cafe NYC on Friday, March 22nd! Sign ups will start as early as 3PM, and the competition will start at 6PM!

DIRECTIONS:

To get to Waypoint Cafe, take the D Train to Grand St. From there, it’s a five minute walk to Ludlow St. After you reach Ludlow, make a left turn, and it’s a very short walk. You could also take the F Train to Delancey St. From there, it’s a three minute walk to Ludlow.

Please note that Waypoint Cafe has a strict policy on outside food, and we would ask all attendees not to bring any outside food with you. We would like to suggest supporting the store by buying a drink, food, or snacks. If you would like outside food, there’s places all over where you could go to, just as long as you don’t bring it back with you to the cafe.

We hope that you are able to join us, as we look forward to having you with us!

Nitro Fueled BBQ – Switch & Play NYC Summer BBQ 2019 @ Brooklyn Bridge Park (Pier 5)
Jul 21 @ 12:00 pm – 9:00 pm

The BBQ is BACK once again, and this time, it’s Nitro Fuled!

We will be meeting once again at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5, Celebrating Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled! We’re also planning to host the BBQ on Sunday, July 21st, with July 28th as the rain date.

To determine the headcount of how many people are attending, we strongly recommend to set your RSVP notice as “Going”, because marking it as “Interested” is too vague for us. We want to make sure that we will be buying the right amount of food to feed everybody in attendance. If there are extra guests that would like to attend, please let us know, and consider contributing an item to the event.

We will also be keeping track on food, beverages, and other supplies that will be contributed to the BBQ in the form of a Google Spreadsheet. Please note that contributing something will likely factor into food intake for the event, so in the interest of fairness, please consider bringing something, to help the BBQ run smoothly!

Check out the items that are being listed for the BBQ on the spreadsheet, so we don’t end up with a large surplus of items or supplies we don’t need much of, such as bags of chips.

http://tiny.cc/SPNYCBBQ2019

Info on what we plan to do for Crash Team Racing will be coming soon.

[ Directions ]

To get to the Brooklyn Bridge Park – Pier 5, you can take the 2/3/4/5 trains to the Borough Hall stop.

From Borough Hall, head west on Joralemon Street, and keep walking until you reach Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5. That will be a 13-minute walk.

You could also take the N/W/R trains to the Court Street stop. From there, walk to Montague Street, then walk until you reach Clinton Street. Afterwards, you head to Joralemon Street, and keep walking until you reach Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5. This altogether is a 10-12 minute walk.

You could also take the A/C/F trains to the Jay Street/Metrotech stop, but that’s about a 16-17 minute walk.

Once you enter the Pier, we should have seating available with shade. We’ll spend our time chatting, gaming, and of course, eating while our grillmasters will be working the BBQ pits for the day.

If you have any questions on what you would like to bring, feel free to comment! Make sure to fill out the spreadsheet on what you’re planning on bringing with you at the event.
