While the Smash scene is touted for its grassroots efforts, several outside organizations have recently partnered with the Smash community to produce new major events. Beyond the Summit, primarily known for hosting Dota 2, began running the Smash Summit invitational series last year. DreamHack also started hosting Smash a little over a year ago.Starting Friday, the Ultimate Gaming Championship (UGC) will run the UGC Smash Open at the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville, Illinois, for its first-ever large Smash event, boasting a generous $40,000 pot to be split between the WiiU and Melee events. UGC is widely known in its roots with the Halo series, but has expanded into other games in recent years.Smash enthusiasts in the Midwest will be excited to see another Smash major in their part of the country. Top players in both Smash games will be coming in full force. On the Melee side of the event, players such as Adam Armada Lindgren and William Leffen Hjelte are traveling from Sweden. Along with them, Jason Mew2King Zimmerman, Juan Hungrybox Debiedma, and several others will compete in Melee singles and doubles. On the WiiU side, power houses such as Gonzalo ZeRo Barrios, Nairoby Nairo Quezada and Elliot Ally Bastien Carroza-Oyarce will be competing. The WiiU talent pool has plenty of depth with several other top 20 Panda Global ranking players making an appearance.With the year coming to an end, players from both Smash games aim to make one final push towards their global end-of-the-year rankings. In Melee, Armada seems to be the frontrunner after wins at Smash Summit 3 and DreamHack Winter and could continue to his growing win streak at UGC. Meanwhile, Hungrybox lurks closely behind Armada, but he could shake things up with a win at this event.Meanwhile, the 2016 WiiU results have been exciting in their unpredictability with plenty of upsets from rising stars against known veterans. Yet, Gonzalo ZeRo Barrios has quietly strung together quite a résumé with recent wins at KTAR XIX, The Big House 6, and 2GGT: Abadango Saga. His 2016 effort is not nearly as dominant as 2015, but thats a testament to how strong his competition has grown in the past year. Though ZeRo is the favorite, many others stand in his way, and no one has an easy route even into the top 8. Expect to see exciting matches and even more upsets at this event.The action-packed weekend begins on Friday as players enter in exciting exhibitions for viewers to watch, and the singles and doubles bracket will continue throughout the weekend into Sundays finals.Garrett Bradbury Jersey .

The club chairman, Hootie Johnson, sent her a scathing reply that the club might one day have female members, but not at the point of a bayonet.Augusta National didnt budge in the wake of enormous pressure from Burk and the media, even going so far as to go commercial-free for the 2003 Masters. Burks protest fizzled in a grassy lot. Nine years later, the club added its first two women.Burk remains with the National Council of Womens Organizations as the director of its corporate accountability project.The USGA, PGA Tour, LPGA and PGA of America released a joint statement last August to distance themselves from Donald Trumps explosive comments about Mexican immigrants when he announced his campaign for president.The PGA of America canceled its Grand Slam of Golf exhibition at Trump National in Los Angeles.

She noted that Bedminster is in compliance with the USGAs anti-discriminatory member policy.During his presidential campaign, Mr. Trump has made some remarks that are at odds with our belief that golf should be welcoming and inclusive for all. We have reiterated that we do not share his views, and that is still true, she said in an email.The LPGA said all decisions about the venue for the U.S. Open are made by the USGA.We fully expect to keep the U.S. Womens Open on our 2017 schedule, and support the decisions made by the USGA on this matter, LPGA spokesman Kraig Kann said.Burk concluded her blog by posting a link to a petition to force the USGA to play next years Womens Open somewhere else.American golfer Gerina Pillar said she preferred to stay out of the debate.If its a good course, its a good course, she said from this years U.S. Womens Open. I dont really see getting into politics.
