Tier Breakers
The Next Generation of Pros
Season II
My name is Seibrik, and I would like to invite you all to a brand new format of competition. Tier Breakers is a team building round robin style competition that will focus on education and improvement.
Players of all skill levels will benefit whether it be from the classroom style lessons given at the beginning of each day, or the incredible amount of experience gained from round robin styled matches.
I invite all players to read on, as we work to create a format that will not only produce a strong foundation for the upcoming Smash 4, but open up the variation of who takes home the prize pot. Join us, as we attempt to break the tiers between players, and continue to create The Next Generation of Pros.
The When: (Every OTHER Sunday starting OCTOBER)
Tier Breakers will be starting the SECOND Sunday of October (10/13/13). Depending on the number of entrants, the last Sunday of the season will be as follows:
20-25 Entrants: 11/24/13
25-30 Entrants: 12/8/13
30-40 Entrants: 12/22/13
Remember we will be meeting every OTHER Sunday, so you can plan your weekends accordingly. That means one week on, one week off.
The What:
Step 1: Preliminary Round
On the first Sunday (10/13/13), we will be running a Preliminary round robin style singles tournament.
This part of the tournament is an ordinary round robin competition.
Participants will be evenly divided up into pools, and compete for seeding.
Step 2: Team Building
In Tier Breakers, we create teams of players. These teams might be more formally known as Crews.
Everyone who earned first seed in the Preliminary pools event is elected Team Captains!
Next, we begin a Drafting process.
All the captains will begin to draft remaining players based off their seed.
Starting with the lowest seeded captain, captains will take turns drafting the second seed players only.
Once no more second seeds are left, they will take turns (starting with a different captain) drafting third seed players only.
Finally, the same will be done for the remaining fourth seeds, and any remaining seeds after that, depending on the number of players in each pool.
What we will end up with is a number of teams (depending on number of participants) each with a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seed player.
This means that each team will be generally balanced.
Step 3: The Season
The remaining Sundays of the month will be used to find out which team is the best overall.
We will accomplish this in the form of Round Robin styled matches. From this point on we will refer to a match between two teams as a “Series”.
This means when Team A plays against Team B, they will enter a Round Robin with each other.
In other words…
Every player on Team A will play a SET versus every player on Team B.
The team with the best record (most set wins) wins that "Series", and that team earns a “Victory.”
Also, every team will play versus every team.
The team with the best overall record (most “Victories”) at the end of the month wins the season.
The Where:
Tier Breakers will take place at Flippers Cinema inside the Flippers360 Xbox Room.
Flippers Cinema is located at:
7001 Taft Street
Hollywood, Fl 33024
If any additional information is needed please call Seibrik (David Silberberg) directly at 786-436-5990.
The Where: (cont.)
This event will take place at the Flippers360 room inside of Flippers Cinema!
I cannot stress this enough:
Flippers360 is unlike any LAN center you have ever been to.
It is a giant room (Two combined movie theaters to be exact) filled with about 100 Xbox360 setups, all equipped to either HD computer monitors or LCD tvs.
There are high powered gaming computers!
*Setups UPDATE*
I read all the feedback from the season 1 surveys, and I managed to convince the Flippers staff to purchase SIX component cables!
This means, assuming a few players bring their Wii's, we can have up to TEN setups!
This includes not one, but now TWO lag-less projector setups!
NONE, i repeat, NONE of the setups (including the projectors) lag.
