Kickoff: Introducing the teams, showing animation if it's hopefully ready, revealing schedule/contests, some fun arena fights

Elite Smash: 1v1 tournament between a single representative from each server, relatively competitive ruleset
	Should be able to run a 4-person double elimination pretty quickly; I don't want to keep people away from splatfest for too long

Stylish Smash: Round Robin/Swiss bracket between 2-4 people from each server; games are judged by a panel based on a variety of (public and secret) criteria worth different numbers of points
	Ideally each game has at least three judges, but we can adjust things if scheduling gets too tricky

Home-Run Smash: Open to whoever wants to enter; you have a fixed amount of time to hit an idle character as far as you can (on a custom stage made for measuring distance)
	I'm not entirely sure how viable this will be to set up; open to suggestions/removing if we end up wanting to stick to three weeks

Chaotic Smash: Double Elimination Bracket between 2-4 people from each server; something similar to our St Pat's day ruleset with lots of Fun items
	possibly sports themed items/custom stages? Also I'm not sure that double elim is the best choice for this

Team Smash: 2v2 double-elimination tournament between servers; could be a fixed team like Elite Smash or could allow substitutions between matches/games

Board Game Smash: Free-for-all style tournament between servers; each server starts on mario and has to move down the character select screen based on their placing in the last game (1 space if first, 2 if second, etc.). Goal is to stay "on the board" for the longest
	Would most likely work best with substitutions, allowing whoever's available at a good streaming time play for their server. Will need to be clear about how to handle Miis/Echos/DLC. Another idea that's not too completely thought out so it could be cut if we want to stick to three weeks

Triathlon Smash: A Nintendo Invitational-style tournament between servers featuring the three game modes: a round-robin for placement with time battles, the first round of a single-elimination bracket with stamina battles, and the grand finals between the two winners in a stock battle (possibly a crew battle?)
	Could add some other twists, like the time round having items or the stamina round being 2v2

Custom Stage Contest: People can submit stages throughout the event, and we can invite people to play on them at various times and vote for the best one
	Could have some sort of theme, or multiple categories; might be a good idea to have dedicated judges in addition to the popular vote
