Clash X Counter 2 - Belfast 16/4

Cloudpaul

Clash X Counter is back!

On the 16th April Clash X Counter will return for its second outing, hopefully we can build upon the success of last time and make this one bigger and better!

This CxC will be host to Super Street fighter 4, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 3. As well as the main tournaments people are welcome and encouraged to run their own side tournaments, although we must stress for now that these have to remain strictly free.

Rules

FORMAT

All tournaments will be decided by round-robin groups into double elimination brackets. Bracket sizes will be determined by the number of entrants, dividing into either top 8 or top 16. depending on the number of groups, the players placed in the top 2 of their group will qualify for the elimination stages.

Seeding will be determined through previous CxC results, player knowledge and local tournament results. If applicable, they will also be calculated using regional separation, though this cannot be guaranteed.

All matches will be decided best out of 3 games. For the grand final of each game, the player entering from the winner's bracket must win 2 full matches (best of 3) to win, while the player entering from the loser's bracket must win 3 full matches to win.

Button Binding is permitted, Macros and Turbos are banned. Anyone caught using them will be instantly disqualified from the tournament.

Prizes

The tournament fee for each game will be pooled together and divided toward prize vouchers for each game. The vouchers will be purchased to the value of 60% / 30% / 10% for 1st/2nd/3rd places respectively. Where possible these vouchers will be for a store of the person's choosing (Please note: Prize support is currently TBC)


Setups

For active tournament games, there will be a minimum of 2 setups per game. At all other times there will be at least 1 setup of every tournament game. Any unused/casual setup can be used for any of the Fighting games available. We have a wide selection of games and if there are any you wish to play feel free to ask a member of staff to switch a game out for you. If you wish to bring your own game(s) you are welcome to, but we cannot take responsibility if any items go missing, so please keep a close eye on any games brought. We are here to help and will try our best to accommodate any requests.


Staff Entering Tournaments

Staff members are permitted to enter tournaments under the condition they are not allowed to participate in the seeding or arrangement of groups/brackets. This is to ensure equality and that the member does not place themselves in a favourable group. Staff are allowed to assist in the administration of brackets once they are eliminated from that game and can assist in the administration of groups once their group results have been confirmed. Staff members are still required to pay entry fee for any game they enter

Don't forget guys that this is assuming that CS2 doesn't get delayed from the end-of-March release date.

Since it had very few players last time around it's the game that needed to be dropped from the tournament lineup to make room for something else, sadly.

Cloudpaul

Perhaps I'm being an idiot here but is there a lack of an edit button or am I just missing it? Want to update the OP.

EDIT: Well, I can edit this post but not any other posts.

Vyze

I think after a day or something the edit button disappears from a post.

Doctor DooM

Just PM me with what you want the OP changed to (including any formatting if necessary) and I can still change it.

Cheers man, I'll PM the exact post so you can just copy-paste it.

Cloudpaul

Sairus

Doubtful I'll be able to make it to this with my current monetary situations, but hopefully I can swing up!

Orim

Can't make this now. Will have to sit in and wait for the internet to come to me.

Doctor DooM

Recording equipment and possibly commentary would be great but only bring what you feel you can bring. If you want to get a taxi from the station to Queen's SU to save you carrying it all we'll reimburse you for it.

That's mighty kind of you. Bringing the whole kit and kaboodle is not a problem.

One thing I'd point out is that promotion wise, videos with commentary get a million times more interest than those without. It's pretty glaring when looking at the stats.
