A Last Chance Qualifier for each game was meant to be held the day before the finale (formerly planned for December 15th) with the Top 4 players qualifying,[3] bringing the total to 32 players for each game. All finalists will have complimentary travel and housing for the event.[4] The tournament was planned to have the ninth-largest singles pot for a Melee tournament and tied for the seventh-largest singles pot for an Ultimate tournament at the formerly planned dates.

Some of the players would have been going to Scuffed World Tour hosted by Ludwig on the same weekend instead.
