Hi, SWP here. I hope you all enjoyed yesterdays tournament. Thanks to LordPangTong for all his hard work. He really did a good job in a difficult situation. We had some issues with the brackets last time but this time I intend to handle them myself. I think i have the whole bracket making thing down now and if all goes as planned there will be a preliminary bracket posted the day before the tournament. Things will be set up so that adjustments can be made quickly and easily and we can get everything started on time.
I expect that LordPangTong will be helping out again this time and r_o_m_c will also be joining the staff. Edit: Jen will be staff aswell.
1.) Starting date- Saturday March the 1st at 9:00pm eastern standard time. all participants must be in the room using the nick they signed up with by 8:30pm The tournament will be fast paced and finished in one night.
2.) Location- I may change but as of now it will be held in tesujisnetplayroom on irc.pyoko.org again.
3.) Tournament Format- best 2 of three matches. The finals will be best 3 of 5. double elimination. you can only switch characters if you lose.
4.) Brackets- LordPangTong thinks the tournament should be pretty much totally random as long as delays are less than 7. Personally i believe some concessions should be made for netplay. by that i mean adjusting the brackets according to location so that east and west coast players do not fight much until the later rounds(i did this in the first tournament). Since we disagree i ask that anyone with an opinion on this matter tell me what they think when they register.
5.) Disagreements, problems, Desyncs and the like will be handled by myself, LordPangTong, romc and Jen. All matches with a delay of 7 or above will most likely be switched.
6.) Prizes- There will be a prize of at least $40 for the winner of the tournament.
7.) If you have any question please post them here. Someone else likely has the same question.
If the time or date is a problem pm me.
To sign up, just post following this template: (stole that right out of LPTs Post
Name/Alias: Your name
Location: Where you are. (State)
Contact: Email, IRC, something
Also, when you sign up if you have an opinion on the brackets(see above) please let me know.
Here are some preliminary brackets. Tell me if there are any problems with them. i wont be suprised if there are. The Winners bracket is on top. then the losers bracket. I was getting pretty tired and lazy by the time i drew the losers bracket so if it it looks like a random jumble of lines thats probably because it is. EDIT- in case anyone is concerned ill be editing the brackets a little so people dont wind up fighting the same people in losers that they just fought in winners.
