Hi. I saw cloud nine's net play tourny thread and I thought i might make one of my own. don't know much about running tourney's myself. So basically if any of you guys are interested let me know. Also, if you have any advice about the tournament format or anything else or if you want to help out let me know.
if there is any interest here ill try to put something together. maybe we can start an irc channel somewhere and have a monthly online tournament or something like that.
Well, im looking forward to hearing your replies.
Edit: The tournament will start on December 29th. probably around 11:00pm eastern standard time. read the thread for details. When i stop feeling lazy ill post them here.
Ok. Tentative tournament details.
Post here to let us know if you want to join. please include your state of residence in your post. We will meet in tesujisnetplayroom on irc.pyoko.org on the day of the tournament. you will need an irc program. google mirc if you need one. if you cant use irc i might pm you about your match or something. actually, anyone who cant use mirc should pm me and include a good way to get in touch with them. (aim, yahoo mesenger, hamachi.)
1.Starting Date- December 29th at 11:00pm Eastern Standard time. oh yea, only the first round on Saturday. second round on Sunday. then we will finish up the next weekend. We will have several rounds sunday January the 6th. In case thats not clear enough "January 6th is the last day of the Tournament"
2. Tournament Format- best 2 of three matches. double elimination. you can switch characters if you desire.
3. Brackets- The pairings for the tournament will be determined randomly. However, since this is a netplay tournament pairings may be adjusted slightly to eliminate the worst of the lag issues. if you have any objections, comments, suggestions about this or anything else please inform me.
4.lag issues- this is netplay. if your recommended delay in caster is less than 7 then deal with it. (hopefully all delays will be 5 or less. "prays")
5. Disagreements and Problems- If you have a problem or disagreement then talk to me about it. My decisions regarding the tournament are Final. hopefully there wont be too many issues. Assuming none of you have any objections i plan to participate in the tourny myself. because of this a third party will judge any problems regarding my matches. If im not mistaken romc generously agreed to do this.
6. Desyncs- if there is a desync the match will be replayed while i observe. If there are additional connection issues and a resolution cannot be reached i will either decide a winner or allow both players to advance(this is open to debate for the time being.)
7. Prizes- The opportunity to test your skills in a tournament enviorment...... but seriously, theres no prize. maybe next time.
More to come.
Edit: Lord Pang tong posted about the tournament results in the Tournament Results thread. ill be post a full listing here tomorrow. I will also post a seperate thread about the next tournament(Which Lord Pang Tong and I will be running together).
