What's an Arcadian
An Arcadian is a tournament where the top players of a city are barred from entering.

Am I eligible?
  • You must live within 35 minutes of San Antonio, or live in Austin or San Marcos
  • You must have never placed top 4 at a melee tournament in San Antonio or Austin with over 24 entrants or top 3 for a tournament under that.
  • You must of never won a Melee San Marcos Tournament
  • You must have never won a Melee Arcadian in San Antonio or Austin
  • You must have never made it out of pools at a Melee San Antonio Monthly

I'm not eligible, why should I show up?
  • I'm anteing up pizza, wings and drank on me
  • You will not pay venue
  • It will be hype
There has to be a catch...There is. If you're here for pizza and wings, I want you to be willing to commentate and play friendlies with the new blood. This event is about building the scene. If that doesn't excite you, this event is not for you.

Schedule
Venue opens at 12:00 PM, so that's the earliest you can show up!

Tournament Schedule
Melee:

1:45PM| Melee Doubles Registration Ends

2:00PM| Melee Doubles Begins
4:30PM| Dinner Break
5:15PM| Melee Singles Registration Ends
5:30PM| Melee Singles Begins

  • Registration for all events will start at 1:00PM.
  • Exact change is appreciated, but not necessary. Helps keep payout pools separate without too much hassle.
  • Full setups must arrive before 2:00 PM in order to qualify for the $5 venue fee refund.
Entry Info
Venue Fee: $5 per person (required from all attendees)
Melee Singles: $5 per person
Melee Doubles: $5 per person($10 for a team
)

The tournament is open to anyone and everyone! Just show up to the venue on the day of the tournament on time and bring the following:

What to Bring
1. Enough cash for the events you wish to enter (see the prices above)
2. Your own controller (GameCube controller)


If you bring a full setup for any game, we will refund your $5 venue fee at the end of the tourney.
A full Melee setup is a CRT TV, GameCube/wii, Melee disc, and fully unlocked memory card.


Prizes
Ultra Arcade is busting out a $100 pot bonus for both Melee Singles and Doubles!
Prizes for each individual event are distributed from the money pot as follows:


Payouts
Under 50 entrants

1st: 50%
2nd: 25%
3rd: 12.5%
4th: 7.5%

Over 50 entrants
1st: 45%
2nd: 20%
3rd: 12.5%
4th: 7.5%
5th: 5%
7th: 2.5%
Rules
We will be using the MBR Ruleset for Melee. It can be found here.
Code of Conduct:
  • All ejections or disqualifications due to violations of the Code of Conduct or individual game rules will be without refund.
  • No alcohol or illegal substances inside the venue. Getting caught with these items or evidence of the presence of these items will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
  • No fighting or weaponry inside the venue. Throwing controllers or acting in a way that could pose a danger to other players will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
  • No refusal to play on certain TVs or setups will be tolerated barring extreme circumstances. All players agree to have their matches recorded if requested by the TO.
  • Be on time to your match. You have 5 minutes from when it's called to be at your station or you forfeit the first game. If you are 10 minutes late you forfeit the match and are either out or in losers.
Collusion (Pot splitting, bracket rigging, etc):
I don't tolerate collusion of any kind. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to see it. I don't make money off this event. I give up my Saturday to run this event. I do this because I want the San Antonio and surrounding scenes to have another tournament to go to. If you are strapped for time come talk to me. We can work something out.

In the case that 2 or more placing players are caught colluding, prize money will be redistributed to the next qualifying tier of players. This will be a pain for everyone involved. Don't do this.

WE NEED PEOPLE TO BRING TVS!
I can only provide a couple TVs to start with, so it's up to the rest of the community to bring more and make the event easier to run. More setups means more friendlies and more playing time, so please do your part if you have equipment to lend us for the day. Remember, if you bring a full setup, we will refund your $5 venue fee at the end of the tourney.

LOL, actually listening to him **** talk melee the entire time would be hilarious. Especially cause UA won't deal with PM at the moment due to the grey area.
