In the past these tournaments have taken a very long time to end, and that was back when when it was just melee. The reason for this is a lot of unnecessary delays created by tournament entrants not acknowledging the fact that they have a tournament match or simply leaving the venue altogether to get something to eat, which sometimes takes over an our. That is very inconsiderate to every one who paid good money to enter this competition, and would like it to run smoothly.
With that said I would like every one to know that this tournament will be run much stricter than in the past. If there is an empty TV and your match is called out to play on it the next set of names will be called to play on it and etc. Now, if your match is called and there is no one else there to play their match on that TV, then you will have about 5 minutes to respond or you automatically forfeit you're match
(unless you entered both tournaments and you already have a match in progress in one of them, your opponent will have to wait
). Which also means that if you are in the winner's bracket you will be put in the loser's and if you're in the loser's bracket already then you are automatically disqualified from the tournament.
However if you let whom ever is in charge of monitoring the bracket and calling out the matches know that you have an emergency. For example if you have to use the bathroom or are about to get a parking ticket
(there is a police station directly across the street from the venue
) then you may be given a few more minutes according to your situation.
Also, the tournament will begin at 1:00 pm. If you think you're going to be late call gamers xperience, they may delay the tournament for a few minutes until your arrival. However, if only a small amount of entrants arrive by 1:00pm the tournament will be delayed until there is a decent amount of players, but those are the
only acceptions.
No one is exempt from these rules not even myself. So please take these rules seriously, especially if you're coming in from out of state.
