Trivia

• Koopa Klaw Tournament was Captain Jack's first recorded tournament in Europe.
• Dirty South Tournament 9 was a hoax tournament held on September 18th, 2007, claiming to feature many of the world's best players at the time. As brackets and videos of the event were published, it was later revealed that the only participants were Joanna Dark and Poilon trying to replicate the other players' playstyles.
• Dirty South Tournament 11, held in February 2008, was among the first tournaments in Europe to feature a Super Smash Bros. Brawl bracket. The game wouldn't be officially released in the region until June 27th of that same year.
