Inferno XII - 4/9/10

Orim

It's time for Inferno 12!

Inferno slinks back to XGC following our more for Inferno 11. The last tournament went well but it's time for regrouping and organising in order to get us out there for the future.

There is a €5 entry fee, with the tournament costing €10 to enter. So €15 total for one hell of a day. Ramza has a free pass to the tournament which he won in the SFIE writing competition.

The tournament will kick off at 13:00. We will be open from 11:00 for sign-ups and casuals.

Current Seedings :
1) Cobelcog
2) Bush
3) AnimaX
4) Gory snake
5) Kirby
6) Blag
7) Azza
8) Doctor Doom

10) Liquidswords
11) The Hound
12) New type
13) Ken B
14) Placebo
15) Redman350
16) Chunkis

Please note that following this tournament the seedings list will begin to decay.

I do believe this covers everything. Rules to follow.

Get Hype?

Tournament Rules and Format.

Prize pot will be split 60/30/10 among the top 3 finishers.
Seeding will not be performed for the first Super Street fighter 4 Tournament.

Format is as follows, a seeded group stage followed by a double elimination stage. Each match in the group stage will consist of 3 games with each game beings best of 3 rounds. The third game of a match in the group stages will only be played in the event of a tie after the second set. If one player wins the first 2 games the third game is not played.

After the group stage is over a draw will take place to determine the first round upper bracket matches of the double elimination stage. Winners of a group will be randomly drawn against the runner ups of other groups. The first round of the lower bracket will also be a random draw from the players who lost in the first round of the upper brackets.

Each match in the double elimination stage will be best of 3 games and each game is best of 3 rounds.

Should we get 64 attendants, the tournament will be run with pools rather than groups. The pools would be 16 man double elims with the top 4 of each pool going through to the top 16. It would be first come first served with the last couple of people having to play in a play-off group(s) to get into pools.

People who arrive after the tournament starts are not guaranteed a place in the tournament but we will try to accommodate them if possible.

1. All characters are selectable.

2. Custom controllers and button configuration is allowed.

3. Turbo is banned. Anyone who is caught using this feature will be disqualified.

4. Players can change characters in each round of the double elimination phase. However once a match has started they may only change characters in a match after loosing a set. The winner of the first set must stick to his character he started the set with and may only change if he looses the second set, in which case the winner of the second set must then stick to the character he used in the second set.

4. Double Blind select available in the event of people being concerned about counter picking. An admin will assist with this if required.

5. Rock, paper, scissors is used in the event of people being unable to agree on which side they want to sit on.

6. In the event of a player pausing a game during a round or his stick/pad fails during a round, he forfeits the round unless both players agree to carry on. If there is a dispute an admin will resolve the dispute.

7. In the event of a game ending in a draw, the game will scrapped and not counted towards the results. It will then be replayed.

7. Players who are overly disruptive during a competition or who are distracting other players can be removed from the tournament at the discretion of the tournament admins.

8. No white track suits please.

Orim

We do our best to keep an eye on it but realistically we're working off the honour system.

Also this is AnimaXs tournament. He's on for a nice 3 - 2 - 1.
Also Cobelcog will get knocked out in his group as it's going to be based on DOB.

Wut?

animaX

Can we make this an alcoholic event so that underagers are banned?!

Looking forward to this again. We should still be able to manage a spectator setup in xgc on the end machines.

Seedings are only based on the last 3 tournaments.

GorySnake

Is that normal?

It means the seed list will actively reflect the current active players.

GorySnake

Oh ok.

Most likely able to go.

Misty Chaos

Yeah, I should be able to go. My Juri has leveled up a lot since I was last at Inferno but I'll be content with actually winning a match in the group stages, anything else is a bonus for me.

I'll also have to find a way to sleep properly the night before, I was the guy who feel asleep at Inferno X from a combination of the heat and tiredness.

Dwydwy

Sorry, im new just wanted to know where is it? loool

Orim

It's in Xtreme Gaming Cafe. That's on Liffey Street in Dublin.

Here's a map : http://bit.ly/cLf7nh

I can add any directions or other places if you need me to. Hope you can make it.

Neeknak

I'm gonna try to make it down. I'll be driving so do any of the locals know of a handy parking area to the venue?

I usually park in the jervis street shopping centre. It's just about 5 mins from the xgc.

That sounds like just the ticket, how much does it normally cost?

Ramza

I shall be down to use my free entry ^^

And Dan I'll be in at 1.15ish, is it ok? I'm definitely coming so you can mark me as a certain. Don't want to cause issues with time delays or w/e

Depends on how long your gonna be there I guess but I think all day is in or around 12 euro. Not 100 % on that though.

Sabre0001

Hope to be there to meet people, learn matchups and take my scrub play to the next level I'm usually more comfortable being destroyed by people online that I actually know / have met...Only one way to up the game I suppose

Konata

So eh, spectators have to pay 5 euro in? I'm reading that right yus?

Voa

Only if you plan on playing in the casuals after. If you're just there to watch, I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that'd be fine to just show up and watch.

Kirby

If are just coming to watch then obviously its free.

Orim

Yeah Voa got it. If you're not playing then you don't have to pay. If you want to play but not compete in the tournament then it's €5.

Also a girl at Inferno :eek:

Konata

Awesome! I'm only learning how to play so watching is all I plan on doing for the moment Freeness is an extra bonus \o/

As for the girl thing... just wait till I'm actually playing

Orim

Once you move up playing in casuals is a great way to learn.

You just gotta watch out for this one guy from Clare. He's a troublemaker but I'll point him out on the day.

Ugh, Clare people

Luckily, they're all shíte at SF so I'm sure I'll be grand :P

Sairus

Extremely doubtful I'll make it up to this, but I shall try my darndest.

Sisko

Don't be so hard on the Clare folk , sure they've only recently discovered electricity. It's not their fault. For shame.


@Hotaru, you should try and get some games online with people from here, playing (and losing) to people who know the game well is the fastest way to learn.

Naturally its even better in person where people can explain things to you face to face. So maybe you should try and get some casuals in if you can, although tbh things get pretty hectic at tournaments.


Anyway OT, I'm only a maybe for this, I'll know a day or so before.

Thanks for the advice

Haven't any game/Xbox of my own atm but getting both soon (hopefully >_<) so I'll definitely be wandering online then

And as I say, I'll be popping into as many casuals/tournaments as I can in the meantime. Amazing how much you can pick up simply from watching!

Sisko

Get a ps3


<_<



>_>







Yeah I mean it is true that you'll pick up a lot from watching, a lot of people learn stuff from watching high level matches on youtube.

But a lot of it is muscle memory and execution also. Your hands need to know what to do even if your mind already does.... if that sounds... sane...


yeah. ...lol
