Ichi-Kakuto-Gemu: Worthington, Ohio (July 10th)

[TheKiest]

T.O. TheKiest has returned

THIS TOURNAMENT LINE UP:
Blazblue (PS3)
Super Smash Brothers Brawl (Wii)
Super Smash Brothers Melee (Wii/Cube)
Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion (PS3)


With Brawl now having one-two tournaments a WEEK, I've decided to expand the tournament scene to more games. This tournament as you see in the picture, will have not only Melee, but Tekken 6(BR) and Blazblue. There will NOT BE DOUBLES AT THESE EVENTS!!!!!! Because I want many people to try many games, the entry to all of these WILL BE 5 bucks. Except for the Main Events.

I have decided to add an incentive to this series as well: the game with the highest attendance will become the MAIN EVENT for the next tournament with a $10 entry AND 3v3 TEAMS (5 bucks a person, $15 a team). I will explain the format for team at the second event's thread.

But for now, I am doing 4 "smaller" tournaments to get use to the venue. Now that the intros are done....

WHERE?
358 S Selby Blvd
Worthington, OH 43085

This where the Middle of the Ohio tournament series took place. Its also about the same size as the Ham's off my Bread, venue.
For those who haven't been here, its a park house.

When?
July 10th, 2010
Schedule as of now....
1:30 Doors Open and registration begins.
2:30 Registration for Blazblue and Brawl Ends. Brawl and Blazblue begin.
5:00 Registration for Tekken and Melee Ends. Melee and Tekken begin
7:00 "The Elite Eight"
8:15 Doors close and clean-up
8:30 Venue closes
**IF WE CANNOT FINISH THE ELITE EIGHT, WE WILL RELOCATE TO MY HOUSE VIA CARPOOL TO FINISH IT THERE (About a 5 minute drive from the venue)**

What is "The Elite Eight"?

These are what I call the 4 grand finals. (One per game). I will save these for last for two reasons.
1) To promote these matches.
2) To record these matches.

I will also TRY to keep one setup for friendlies/MMs for each game. Space pending.

How Much?
$5 Venue (waved if you bring a FULL SETUP* AND we use it. First come first serve.)
$5 Entry PER TOURNAMENT
Food locations are about 5-10 minute drive.
* A Full Setup means: TV plus system + game WITH EVERYTHING UNLOCKED!!!! (Except for Blazblue's Astrals.)

Details!!!!
As I said before, the game with the most attendance WILL BECOME THE MAIN EVENT of the next tournament. In the case of a tie, well I haven't figured that out yet...
However, the tournament with the LEAST attendance will be replaced with a different game.

The game that will be added is the one on the top of this list:
Super Street Fighter 4 (PS3)
Soul Caliber 4 (PS3)
Tatsunoko v Capcom (Wii)
Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (PS3)
The game that got replaced from this event
*Other games might be thrown in here such as Smash 64, SF: 3S, and others.

Also...
THE EVENT HAS A 32 MAN CAP FOR EACH EVENT!!!!!
This is because of the size of the venue, and the amount of time i have it for. I am working on getting a larger, cheaper venue. BUT until then, there is a cap. Yes this means there can be more than 32 people at the tournament, just 32 per tournament.
Also there will be no pools for any $5 tournaments. (Sorry Brawlers.)

RULES AND FORMATS ON 2nd POST

 

[TheKiest]

GENERAL RULES:

Payouts:
(For all 5 dollar tournaments)
1st: 60% - $5
2nd: 30%
3rd: 10%
4th: $5

Conduct:

* You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.

* Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.

* Dave's Stupid Rule: No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.

* Iggy's Stupid Rule: You may not pause the match yourself. If you absolutely need to pause, it must be done so at the consent of your opponent.

* No show DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is two minutes late he will receive a warning. At 4 minutes late, he will be given a loss for the first game of the set. After six minutes, he will be given a loss of the entire set. There should be no excuse for not being there when your match is called because all the food you need is in the venue for you.

* Color Blind rule: Should a player have a color-based disability, he or she may request in a teams match to have a specific color for their team. This is so characters such as Lucario or Sonic can be granted the blue team so that there is not unnecessary confusion.
Applies mostly to Smash games.

* Wiimotes and Classic Controller users should know to take the batteries out of their controllers after finishing a set; not only will this save battery life, but it prevents accidental intereference and delay for tournament matches.

* Stalling is banned.

Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while doing an infinite grab endlessly against a wall is. Any infinite chain grabs must end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

Applies mostly to Smash games.

* Nope's No BS Rule: By participating in this tournament you give the Tournament Operator and their affiliates the right to film, photograph and record your name, nickname, pseudonym, persona, picture, biographical material, voice and/or likeness and to use the same in any manner or media in connection with the Event to broadcast, reproduce, distribute and exhibit such photographs and/or recordings, in any manner whatsoever, by any and all means, media, devices, processes and technology now or hereafter known or devised anywhere in the universe at anytime in perpetuity.

* Seamus McFly's Sportsmanship Rule:
If a losing player ends the match with "No Contest" (pausing and ending the game before the victory screen) after they lose their final stock but before "GAME" is called, that player is subject to consequences ranging from forfeit of that set to disqualification from the competition. Consequences can be avoided by apologizing to the other player for robbing them of a victory screen. Also, Excessive displays of rage over losing matches (shouting, controller throwing) will not be tolerated.

In other words, be respectful to the games and the players.

Format
All tournaments will be:
Double Elimination
Best of 3 games (except for Finals: Winner, Loser and Grand will be best of 5)
Please bring your own controller (some controllers MIGHT be available if a player does not own the system, but would like to enter a tournament.)


Blazblue:
Winner MUST stay character.
No Unlimited Characters.

Brawl:
3 Stock
8 minute timer
Items are set to "off" and "none"

Double Blind character pick can be called at anytime. (Please ask me or FLC)

Order of play:
1. Players RPS for Stage Strike turn (or agree who strikes first)
2. Players strike one stage from the neutral list until one remains. The first gaem is played on that stage.
3. Players then announce their banned stages (each player gets 2 bans: 1 from the neutral list and one from the CP list.)
4. The Loser of the first match announces the stage (cannot be a stage that BOTH player have banned)
5. The winner picks character
6. The loser picks character.
7. If it goes to game three... repeat 4-6.

In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors

No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.

If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.

Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.

Standing Infinites are banned

If a game ends with any suicide kill, (Wario's Bite, Ike's Up-B, Kirbys/D3's Swallocide, Ganon's F-B, Bowser's Suicide Claw, and any other ones I'm missing....) the winner goes to the player who did the attack (If both players are down to their last stock of course).

[BigD!!!]

so what if i want to come to this but cant make it to the venue until around 3:30 or 4 and melee registration may very well have already reached 32

do i make the drive just to see if i get to play or not?

 

[DtJ Composer]

Tekken over SSFIV?

I'm so ashamed.

 

[Megachuk]

I'll probably be there and bring like 6 others from nky

 

[SoulPech]

We'll have a better idea of attendance by the time the tourne comes. But I really have to be strict about the cap. We won't have the space or time to have more people.
People who preregister also have preference.

Also the schedule isn't final, the events with the most preregistered will go first. (Unless there is a setup clash.)

Crew(If it applies): It doesn't
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Games you want to enter: Brawl, Melee
Setups you can bring: Brawl/Melee disks and a Wii

I'm assuming I can make it to this.. not sure what would keep me from coming. Stage list looks good, although I suggest taking off Norfair and PS 2 O.o And what's a park home? >.>

 

[TheKiest]

@Soul: Didn't need your street name.... lolz

@Moose: I'll post pics of the venue sometime next week. But it means that inside is a "meeting" room, fridge, kitchen, bathrooms, all by a park.

 

[SoulPech]

@Keist:

My friend wants to be in the SC4 tourney...he doesn't go to smashboards, so can I post his information on here?

Also,

Can I ask why Frigate isn't on counterpick?

Oh, and LOL for the apt. number

 

[TheKiest]

@Soul: Yes you can.

I forgot to put Frigate on due to me making the post after being up for 21 hours.

I'll update it with the Melee stage list sometime this weekend.

But I will be adding:
Frigate
Mansion

 

[SoulPech]

Okay. Here's my friend's stuff:

[GoadMoose]

Also: If the other games don't have enough people entering, will doubles be added?

 

[SoulPech]

If doubles are added:

@Moose: Do you have a partner in mind?

 

[TheKiest]

Doubles will not be at any of these events. These tournaments are meant to attract ALL fighting gamers, so don't look at this as just a brawl tourne.

If there is extra time, I would do something that everyone could enjoy (not just smashers).
