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.

sorry but this is mostly continental US plus Canada and Mexico at my discretion.
-
I don't see a rule against it. Didn't seem to be a problem in the last tournament too which I decided against to partake though.
What I see though is that you seem to tolerate delays to at least 7, which shouldn't be a problem. If it's about the prize money; I'm not interested.
-
In a month? Way to get hyped. I thought the SRMranbats and NetPlay Tournament were held alternatively each week.
I get better ping with Danielsan than with someone in Mexico, I don't see how it matters unless the delay is really unplayable.
^ Not signing up unless situation is solved.

Eh, I guess I could use the practice. It really depends though since I'm pretty busy with University work. Call me a 40/60 in favor of not.

Count me in again....
And, as far as these brackets go...SWP, we have been through this, man. I know what you're trying to do, and thats cool, but having ppl from certain areas challenge the same ppl they, at least in mine and Liquids case, always play, makes no sense. i think you should go with LPT's idea, make it random, deal with crap connections as they come and let the cream rise to the top. Otherwise, its 'staged' in a way and certain ppl are destined to almost always start off in the losers bracket.

Hmmm.. The last tourney had quite a showing of melty players and that was awsome. But the tourney ended with myself and quite a few players not eliminated wich was not so awsome. But yes those facts aside... Count me in.

Wow, been a while since I posted here... >__>
Danielsan is in, so long as he can get less than 7 delay. I've run many tournament now, and delay is rarely a problem. If you're not prepared to deal with a little lag, then stop Net Playing and go back to PS2, I say. Setting up regional brackets is a bad idea.
I'll probably end up pulling a ton of people in at the last minute, so fear not.
Brackets, I leave up to you. I feel most comfortable with pencil and paper, but people want something to look at, which is understandable. If you can get a tournament bracket that don't screw you over, I say go for it.

Since LordPangTong has said that real can participate he can do so this time. However, in the future i would like to keep this tournament within north america. there will be much less lag and many less issues for me to deal with. For the time being Canadian and Mexican players are permitted with my or LPTs aproval. If this causes a problem they may be cut out but i dont see that happening any time soon. Until i state otherwise these are the tournament guidlines for registration.

Put me at a 50/50, because I'm going to a place in person with others for a session that day, and I might be able to do it from there.

Netplay tournament should be starting.
...soon.

Netplay tourney 3.........................postponed until Sunday March 9th.
-
Oh postponed until 9th, I thought it was set for tonight, but then I forgot so I would have missed it anyways.
-
It was no longer postponed. Sacchin had enough people to where he could finish tonight. I'm pretty sure he will be posting the top places shortly.
