Singles' entry fee was lowered back to $5, with a 55/30/10/5 payout, and doubles' entry fee was $10 per team with a 60/30/10 payout. Entrants were also allowed to vote on which counterpick stages should be legal, where those that garnering half the votes of the attendees being legal. However, this lead to no significantly different stagelist, with only [[Pokémon Stadium]] garnering enough votes for ''Melee'', and only the counterpicks in [[Apex 2012#Stage list|Apex's ruleset]] garnering enough votes in ''Brawl''.

1. Vibe & MetalPat**
==(15/2)th BEST==
The eighth tournament in the BEST series was hosted on May 5th, 2012. This tournament was more casual than the other tournaments in the series, serving mainly to get one more tournament in before RPI's semester ended. There was no doubles event, and there was a Brawl Minus singles tournament side event. There was an all access entry fee of $10 ($3 went to ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' singles each, $2 went to Brawl Minus singles, and the remaining $2 went to food for the attendants), with the payout being 60/30/10 for all events. This tournament was also primarily hosted by Trilok, with Zaandaa taking a backseat in hosting this tournament.

(15/2)th BESTEdit

The eighth tournament in the BEST series was hosted on May 5th, 2012. This tournament was more casual than the other tournaments in the series, serving mainly to get one more tournament in before RPI's semester ended. There was no doubles event, and there was a Brawl Minus singles tournament side event. There was an all access entry fee of $10 ($3 went to Melee and Brawl singles each, $2 went to Brawl Minus singles, and the remaining $2 went to food for the attendants), with the payout being 60/30/10 for all events. This tournament was also primarily hosted by Trilok, with Zaandaa taking a backseat in hosting this tournament.
