Ayjayirl's Back Garden Invitational Online Tournament.

    Hi guys,

    I am going to run an online tournament.

    Basically I'm going rip of the Azza's Garden Invitational Online Tournament.

    Format
    12 players.
    1 character only tournament.
    Console=Xbox 360.

    Round 1
    First round happens over a 3 night period (Fri-Sunday) on a date yet to be announced.

    In the first round everyone plays each other in a first to 3.

    Each victory is worth 3 points.

    After everyone plays each other the bottom 4 are eliminated.

    In the event we have a tie for 8th place a play off game between the tied players will occur. This is also first to 3.

    Round 2
    Second round will happen over a period of 2-3 weeks following round 1.

    Second round is first to 10.

    All match results are reported by the winner to me, via IRC, boards PM or e-mail.

    Lag Rules
    Test match to be carried out before a tournament match proper. If both characters agree its okay the match goes ahead.

    If there is lag between two players we will try to reschedule the match. If there is still lag we will try to determine which player the lag is coming from by having players connect to other players and see if they are still lagging. The player who is causing the lag will forfeit the match.

    If the game starts lagging mid match. The players can postpone the remaining matches but the result of the current match still counts.

    In the event of a drop, the player who drops forfeits the current match.

    Invited players.
    NOT Azza
    NOT Blag
    NOT Bush
    NOT Cobelcog
    NOT Dreddybajs
    NOT Gorysnake
    NOT Hound
    NOT Ian McTetly
    NOT Kirby
    NOT Newtype
    NOT Sagat08
    NOT The Truth

    No disrespect intended to any of these players at all :)

    me joko - the list is open to any and all. I appreciate that Azza is running a tournament with these invited players so this is really suited for those not playing in that one.

    Usually invited players can opt out of the tournament for whatever reason but since this one is open to all, I am going to operate this a first come first served basis merely just for logistics and to start it.

    Those invited that want to play, just reply below with their character of choice so I can guage numbers and if we can get 12 people.

    If the routers behaving itself I'd be interested.

    I've been neglecting SF (as usual) and could use the practice - having games scheduled helps get things rolling too.

    Jackson, are you REALLY going to try running an online tournament?


    This, I gotta see.

    Oh, its happening. And I will also be having a weekly matchup feature (one selected match that week which will be recorded) that you are commentating on! You have been so informed.

    Fine, long as you set it up. :P

    Don't think I will play in the tournament, no offence. Online wrecks my head these days even when there's nothing wrong with the connection, if there was a tournament placing on the line...

    Honda.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,966 ✭✭✭ayjayirl


    Ok, I think we have 10 so far.

    me - Ryu
    Farz - Chun
    Scanvanger VII - guile (always one =p)
    Sairus - Rose
    Uber -Deejay
    Misty - Juri
    Doyler - ? No commitment yet
    Monkeyto - Honda
    Rob2D - Vega
    Chopper - Honda

    When the 12 places fill up I will start a waiting list for drop outs etc :)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,239 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    Futureguy...Dee Jay


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    i think paul and dave will be up for this so id like to secure their places if possible


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,966 ✭✭✭ayjayirl


    Future guy got in on the first come basis - That makes 11. Just need one more.

    Farz - I can't fairly reserve places. When this runs, I'll run another one - maybe bigger and better ;). Consider this a test of both my managerial skills for something like this and also whether it is feasible with t-internet connections etc etc.


    This will require a bit of co-operation between players etc so in that spirit I'd ask you all to understand this. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,081 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    If it's open to the first twelve then it's not really an invitational is it?

    Put them on a waiting list if so. Inevitabley, life will get in the way and someone will back out.

    Don't worry, he's just sore because I discovered df HK ex FK and he can't beat me anymore :)

    GT: Yreval

    Basically, nothing you can't find out by simply looking at my sig.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,966 ✭✭✭Scavenger XIII


    Don't worry, he's just sore because I discovered df HK ex FK and he can't beat me anymore :)

    Why EX FK? A hard FK combos from df.HK now (I know it was only EX in vanilla), great meterless punish for SRKs and anything leaving the opponent close and airbourne but I always forget to make use of it.

    I wouldn't think the extra damage is worth the meter use.

    Ok, That makes twelve - with some to spare.

    me - Ryu
    Farz - Chun
    Scanvanger VII - guile
    Sairus - Rose
    Uber -Deejay
    Misty - Juri
    Doyler - ? No commitment yet - can you post your character choice :)
    Monkeyto - Honda
    Rob2D - Vega
    Chopper - Honda
    Future Guy - Deejay
    Meducation - Ryu

    Waiting list - so far
    Yreval - Sakura
    Foamy - Ibuki

    If you want to go onto the waiting list for this, just post and I'll add you. Please note that I will try to accommodate everyone/most for when I schedule the first round. If I have to pick a weekend that means someone from the list cannot do it then I will have to give their place to the next person on the list and so on until we have twelve. I will try to avoid this as best I can and will try to get everyone happy and ok to play.

    Please note that it will be the responsibility of each player to arrange specific times over the weekend to play everyone. Players who cannot make an agreed time will have to forfeit their place. Use email/boards/phone/facebook/smoke signals to all arrange times. When you have an agreed time, both players must pm me the matchup info and the times. I will put all that info up in a thread when its all done and we will start. As I said before this will take some doing with co-operation and I m not going to dictate everything. We are all adults except for Farz apparently.


    @Chopper - It is invitational, just an open invitation with limited numbers. Plus irony ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    i think Brian should join, only makes sense if Emmet, i mean Aaron is also playing. Please keep Dave of the net even better outside the house.

    Can we have an indication on a starting date/time, perhaps approximates.
    I hope this tourney teaches me to grow up as a respectful adult, on and off line.

    Brian will be official tournament commentator for select matchups (i.e. those that we can)
    This tournament is brought to you by the letter G. :p

    On a more serious note, I am trying to figure out how to create a poll on this boards thing. I'll figure it I'm sure and I'll suggest dates for the first round to begin with. I am thinking of doing this before Christmas (first round anyway). I might even be so bold as to suggest the weekend of the 26th - 28th of Nov. but I'll figure out how to do the poll now and put it up with a few suggestions. I know inferno is on the 6th so if there are other tourneys/event on for other weekends that will cause the participants problems (Streetfighter or otherwise), please shout out.

    I'm not sure if you need l33t mod powers to do so or not in an already existing thread, could you try clicking "thread tools" and "add a poll to this thread"?

    If not I will add it for you later if you give me the options you'd like to present.


    Me, I'd just say next weekend and run with it.

    Also, I'm not around weekends as you know so if you need commentary that match will have to be on a weekday.

    Good man.

    As for commentating, yeh I know you aint gonna be around for the weekends but round 2 will be over the course of a couple of weeks so when peeps agree times etc we can select specific ones and try it out. Can't hurt :)

    I might, if equip is available, even get Rachel to tell us about the birds in hippos mouths - dunno, I'll see wat will work and what wont.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,966 ✭✭✭ayjayirl


    Ok, Poll added - can all Participants please register their vote.

    Could I also ask those on the waiting list to also do it so I can get an idea of availability should others not be able...

    Thank you for your cooperation

    Does everyobopdy have to hav a different character? Like if I play Ryu will Red have to play someone else? Wasn't Gods Garden the same, nobody had the same character or was that just how it worked out.

    This was a question posed in Azza's tourney thread by Hound that I wanted to address for this one. It will not be the case. There is tournament character lock but no restictions on who you choose initially. :)

    sounds great, i wish the tournament feature in game was better but its still interesting and best out there. We should give it a go tonight for lols

    yeh sorry unky. Just had to do a first come first serve. As Doomey says, distinct possibility that someone will pull out.

    I'll put you on the list. :)
