The tournament organizer and owner for all subsequent Pound tournaments until Pound V.5 has been {{Sm|Plank}}, though {{Sm|Tantalus}} became a TO alongside Plank starting with Pound 4. {{Sm|JCaesar}} and {{Sm|Nintendude}} helped Plank and Tantalus with tournament organizing at [[Pound V.5]] and [[Pound 2016]] respectively. The tournament was originally exclusively for ''[[Melee]]'', but this exclusivity ended in [[Pound 4]] with the introduction of ''[[Brawl]]''. The series is now own and ran by VGBC. | ||

Smashboards forums. Retrieved 2017-1-20.</ref> and a 2 and a half year hiatus of the Pound series until [[Pound V.5]], which occurred on November 9th, 2013. It wasn't until November 18th, 2015 that Plank finally paid off the top placing players of Pound V, and he was removed from the Smashboards Tournament Organizer blacklist. After another hiatus, the Pound series returned in 2016 with [[Pound 2016]], the first mainline tournament since 2011. Pound 2016 ended up being the 12th largest ''[[Smash 4]]'' tournament, the 11th largest ''Melee'' tournament, and the 10th largest ''[[Smash 64]]'' tournament with 1610 overall entrants. | ||
On December 12th, 2016, Tantalus announced that he and the other tournament organizers had made the decision to cancel Pound 2017. This is due to the fact that the Pound 2016 venue, Ritz-Carlton in Tyson's Corner, was too small for the event and the tournament organizers could not find a larger venue for Pound 2017.<ref>[http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1speb17 There will not be a *Pound* 2017].
