One game*Teams will be assigned RANDOMLY using Tournament Maker softaware*2v2Waseda (sp?) StyleTeam A vs Team B

A1 vs B1 = A1 wins

A1 vs B2
3v3Pokeymanz StyleCaptains should be determined upon assignment.
- Captains report starting teammate to a judge. Judge announces opponents for first match to both teams after.
- Winner stays on to face next opponent
- Losing team decides next teammate (that has not already played) to continue the set.
- Coin Flip for Player side upon request. Winning team of the toss must keep the side they request for the entire set.
Game Rules & Stipulations *Applies to both SINGLES & TEAM events*- Bring your own controller!!!
-Game will be played on VERSUS MODE with default damage settings and timer (handicap and quickmatch will be turned OFF) *For you fags that want to run your gimmick characters*
- Gameplay balance will be set to
PS2 Balance (Original).
- Player Side (optional) : RPS/Coin Toss to determine player side. If a decision can't be made, Judge will bitch-slap both players and force a coin-flip for player side (using an american quarter or chinatown fair token most likely).
-Player1 gets the option of Stage Select- no questions. If you want to choose stage then flip/rps for P1 side otherwise just select Random to save time.
- Winner must stay with character/Loser is allowed to switch characters.
- Winner is allowed to switch Moon Style (Crescent,Half,Full).
-No game freezing, invincibility, gamebreaking glitches/bugs allowed *I actually found some gamebreaking shit for NAC so I felt this had to be mentioned. Ryougi LA isn't considered game breaking (as of yet) and is allowed.*
-TYPE EARTH ARC IS BANNED *Do you even have to ask why? All consoles will have non-hacked version of MBAA but just in case: All Eclipse characters are banned too. Basically, any character that's not already on the select screen (with the exception of TypeEarth) can not be chosen.*
- Pausing during matches is not allowed (duh). In the event of an accidental pause, conclusion of the match will be decided by Judge(s).
- Button Configuration is to be set before the start of the (official) match. Use training/versus to test buttons, etc. and restart. *
Best bet is to choose characters to start the match, pause and configure buttons then return to character select screen via pause menu. It won't take up that much time.*
-Blind-pick/Double Blind-pick upon request (notify Judge). If either player requests a blind-pick then their opponent has no choice but to oblige. Players must choose both character
AND moon style before revealing their choice to the opposing side.
- Auto-fire not allowed
-
Macros NOT ALLOWED. You have an E Button that gives access to
THREE shortcuts. *
If you see anyone mapping A+B/A+B+C/A+D buttons or whatever, let me know and I'll shut their shit down promptly.*
- Don't be a queer; shake hands after the match. Man-hugs are optional.

Judges & Staff will be responsible for match decisions in the event of a random dilemma e.g. pausing mid-match, power outage, controller malfunction, etc. as well as maintaining brackets, assisting entrants if needed, watching for "shady behavior", moving and organizing equipment, assisting with setups, help people keep the area clean, keeping the crowd HYPE and pretty much making sure that everyone is enjoying themselves. If you're interested and are willing to
show at the venue/gazebo in Chinatown no later than 1:30pm, please post up and you'll be added to the roster.
Sp00ky Edit:
Housing: If you can go the fuck home after this event, you need to go the fuck home. This especially goes for Sp00ky's Basement (tm) Regulars who live in NYC or only an hour away.
For anyone else here are the rules:1) Please post in ADVANCE if you need to crash with me. Do NOT show up at the tournament and then go 'hey Sp00ky can I stay with you?' I WILL SAY NO. I AM NOT BULLSHITTING ON THIS ONE.
2) If there are more than 5 people staying with me (likely) you need to plan your train/bus/whatever arrangements to leave as EARLY AS POSSIBLE on Sunday. Normally my place is the 'after party' location but I can't handle the 10 + people expected to stay. Exceptions are made for sibladeko/sphyra because frankly I feel like making exceptions in their cases knowing what they need to do to travel here.
Hotel Hotspots & Travel Tips
***PLEASE DO NOT go and buy any tickets or reserve any rooms as of yet. NYCParks organization loves to tug cocks and wait until the last minute to relay information. If Lord Knight's application as not been denied or a date modification has not occurred he will likely receive the permit
1 week before the date he reserved for (happened to myself and Fox). Just keep your pants on for the moment and ALL and ANY updates will be relayed ASAP for your convenience
.***
I wish the best of luck to all who plan to make it out to this event and if you can't make it keeping hitting up that training mode hardbody and stay fresh for the next time. Thanks in advance to those who intend to contribute, donate and help organize possibly the last BBG of the year...
BBGXI !
