What's up everyone.
Today I'm presenting along with HAT and a few other TO's in this area, the MD/VA Summer Regional Circuit!
After all the events and tournaments lately, I've been talking with a lot of TO's and top players in the region who think we just aren't competing at our maximum. Slikvik said in his power rankings thread that we "used" to be the best region for smash and that there is no reason we can't recapture that title. I agree with that. So in addition to power rankings, I'd like to also introduce the MD/VA Summer Regional Circuit!
The premise of the circuit is simple. Now that college is out, people have plenty of time to practice and get together with friends. I'd like to take this opportunity to capture everyone at the best time of year to play video games. Also, the unemployment rate in this area is around 7%, I'm sure there are a couple of you that might be looking for work- no better way to make money than to do it playing games!!
Edit: I'm currently discussing holding the finals at the end of october, either 3rd or 4th saturday of the month. Depending on which venue gets back to me first and who has a better deal.
Schedule:
C3 June Judgment Day 6/20 *completed*
Chu Dat's DOJO, Yellow Belt 6/27 *completed*
The Epic of Woodbridge IV 8/8 *completed*
C3 August Assault 8/15 *completed*
Summer Smash II 8/22 *completed*
Ultimate Gaming Zone 9/12 *completed*
Finals to be rescheduled...
So who gets points? It's pretty simple, the top 8 teams and the top 16 placers will get points. The points break down is like this:
Singles:
1st- 40
2nd- 25
3rd- 15
4th- 10
5th- 8
7th- 4
9th- 2
13th- 1
Teams:
1st- 40
2nd- 25
3rd- 16
4th- 8
5th- 4
7th- 2
Also, I want to announce the official rules for the circuit and "judges"
Basically, as for rules, it will be up to each individual TO at each event we go to. It shouldn't be an issue for the most part. If you have any questions about the rules at an event, please ask them BEFORE you play!
As for our "judges", right now Tantalus (me), HAT, and G-regulate are our judges for the circuit. They have the right to DQ people, should that situation arise. Hopefully it won't.
One last thing: I will try to provide a LIVE STREAM for all of these events. If you can't be here to participate, you should watch and learn! We will strive to put the best matches on the live feed.
Around the time NJ "surpassed" us as the best region, they had the "Blue Battle Circuit" going on, which helped their competitive play. It's time to do the same! I hope to see you at our first event at C3 and I look forward to seeing you at a tourney soon!
