chopperbyrne

Finally received confirmation of this.

After along absence, Inferno returns to its rightful place at Exchange Dublin this Sunday, 11th of September.

Doors open at 11:00, registration will begin at 12:00 and the tournament itself at 13:00. We should be finished up around 18:00.

Entry fee: 15 euro (10 euro goes to prize pool, 5 to venue rental/equipment expenses)


The format is groups into a top 16 double elimination bracket. All matches played are best of 3 in groups and in the top 16 bracket. We’ll be running on 360 and PS3 (though the vast majority will be 360). Seeding is done based on the last 3 tournament results. Please bring your own controller!

Tournament Rules and Format.

Prize pot will be split 60/30/10 among the top 3 finishers.

Format is as follows, a seeded group stage followed by a double elimination stage. Each match in the group stage will consist of 3 sets with each set beings best of 3 rounds. The third set 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 sets the third set 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 sets and each set is best of 3 rounds.

People who arrive after the tournament starts are not garunteed a place in the tournament but we will try to acommodate 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. 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. Blanka Alt 3 is banned.

9. No white track suits please.

Sairus

No

I will happen to be in Dublin that morning! Count me in

Orim

No

Should be there assuming hangover isn't too bad from previous night of fighting games.

ladnopoka

No

Im in

wtfbenson

No

I really want to go but I'm not sure I would be able to make it back to Cork that night since I have work in the morning. Does anyone know if there would be buses going back after the tournament ends? Or, more generally speaking, what time do these usually end?

Orim

No

Should be over between about 6 and 7, unless we got different times.

I think you should be okay, I know people from Cork generally do it in one day. I let one of them give you a more definite answer though.

Doyler01

No

Hopefully some of the Cork gang or the Beast clan can make it up and you could travel with them.

Sairus

No

Yar, Benson, I go up and down in a day all the time. It can be tight sometimes, but it's generally a safe bet that you'll have plenty of time after the tournament to get the bus.

EDIT: Oh wait, this is a Sunday? I don't reckon I can make this after all! :pac:

Misty Chaos

Not going to able to make this one, sorry. Will more than likely attend the one in October, though.
