The legendary band is on tour with their new Super Mario World set. Get ready to watch Noah speed run the classic SNES game while the rest of the band accompanies him!

The BumbleBus

We’ve rented a 15-seat passenger van that will run regularly as a shuttle between Old Bailey Station, the recommended hotels, and downtown Chattanooga. It’ll make additional stops as time allows.

For some it may be easier to fly to Atlanta. There's an hourly shuttle that runs almost all day for $52. Buy a ticket here.

Killer Queen World Championship

at least 8 Killer Queen machines
registration will be capped at 64 teams

Tournament format
Saturday features multiple progressive group phases. In each phase, small groups will play a round robin to determine placement for the next phase. Top teams move on to the World Championship Knockout. (Exact number TBD depending on registration.)

All remaining teams move on to the Community Cup, a separate tournament with its own winner. We created the Community Cup to give a great competitive experience to players of all levels, to spotlight all kinds of player expression, and to honor the people who come to BumbleBash for reasons other than just competition.

On Sunday, both tournaments are double-elimination. (Official tournament rules coming soon.)

Bracket
Challonge is the official tournament technology of BumbleBash 5 and will be used for all brackets. Build a free Challonge bracket here.
