NorCal Tournament 2 was part of a series of Melee tournaments in Northern California. The installments in the series have seen some of the largest crowds since the Tournament Go series. The tournaments mainly featured smashers from California, but also included players from out of state, and even included Japan's S-Royal at NTC2. Tournament Director Karthik Selvakumar (alias djkarthik/CS.K).

"On December 17th, 2005, NorCal's newest large tournament franchise took flight. The largest since the end of Mattdeezie's TG era. This year, the franchise's 2nd tournament will take place, The Big One. All the big guys, small guys, and everyone in the middle from NorCal will be there, not to mention several out of state contenders. Here are the details for this year's largest Northern California tournament."
