San Antonio Arcadians
August 29th, 2015
San Antonio, TX

Brought to you by:

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

Am I eligible?
  • You have entered at least 1 San Antonio Monthly or 2 San Antonio Weeklies since the last Arcadian
  • You have not made top 3 at a weekly or gotten into bracket at a San Antonio Monthly since the last Arcadian
  • You have never won a Melee Arcadian in San Antonio

I'm not eligible, why should I show up?
Well, If you made top 3, or got into bracket:
  • I'm anteing up pizza 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
1:45 PM| Doubles Registration Ends
2:00 PM| Doubles Begins
4:30 PM| Dinner Break Begins & Singles Registration Ends
5:30 PM| Singles Begins

  • Registration for all events will start at 1:00 PM.
  • 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.

Payouts
Payouts for each individual event are distributed from the money pot as follows:

Singles
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%

Doubles
Under 25 Teams:
1st: 60%
2nd: 30%
3rd: 10%

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

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.

I was wondering if i misread the footnotes on the eligibility. In order to be eligible for this event than I have to have been to a previous tourney in San Antonio? I'm curious because I'm moving to San Antonio in less than a week or so, so obviously it would be a bit of an issue for me if what I think I read is the case.

Hey, can I enter this tournament if I make it somehow? I'm not sure if I can for sure, but I haven't even entered a tournament here. Just curious.
