chopperbyrne

Inferno will once again be held at Exchange Dublin on Saturday the 1st of October.

Doors open at 10:00, registration will begin at 11:00 and close at 12:30. The tournament itself will start 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. Seeding is based on the last 3 tournament results. Please bring your own controller/converter!

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.

Shokashi

I'll have to set some cash aside to attend this one. Hope my training pays off this time

Sagat06

Why is blanka alt 3 banned?

chopperbyrne

No

It's physically distracting and makes it harder to space against Blanka.

Sagat06

Pretty poor reason for banning something!!

ayjayirl

No

I'll be there. Brian, I can take recording gear if you can't make it.

Don't see any reason I can't make this.

I'll try and write it up afterwards.

Doctor DooM

No

AJ is incorrect, he's busy that weekend too. I'm afraid it's looking like another unrecorded inferno from this end

Hopefully Ladno can record some matches, he's an impressively stealthy and mobile recorder. I thought his camera was abandoned for most of Inferno XIX, but it was just cleverly set up to record the bracket matches without interference from the participants' bodies.

Are there any photographers left in the scene/ attending this Inferno?

It would be nice to have some pictures to pepper into the writeup.

You should be able to request that players use standard outfits.

All alts are arse.

Zoomyzoom

No

I'll be there with my researchers hat on... if no-one minds?

Doctor DooM

No

I'm definitely clear for Inferno.

I've also given AJ permission to go, kind man that I am.

Hey if I bring a console is it okay if we can use a spare monitor [if any] for a casuals machine in the corner for the whole event?

Just helps relieve the boredom of waiting

Doctor DooM

No

How exactly is Chopper supposed to know how many xboxes people will bring?

Just a request,

Dreddybajs

Monitors rather than consoles are generally where the shortage lies so I'd go with no.

No

I sent out some PMs to people Chopper said had Xbox VGA cables so I could test my monitors to see if they're suitable.

I haven't gotten any replies, so it would be good if people got back to me before Inferno, since I'll also need to grab Konata's guitar to test the lag.

All going well I can help out with the monitor shortage.

ayjayirl

No

I can bring a 15in monitor. not sure of the lag - its VGA.

No

It'll probably be 4:3 too. Could be used for 3S side tournie I suppose as long as there's a spare console.

No

I was thinking for the tourney itself. The more set-ups, the quicker the groups and the more options for casuals. AFAIK I used it for the Evo qualifier without any problem.

Sairus

No

Which is more required, a 360 or a monitor? I can bring one, but it's too awkward to bring both.

chopperbyrne

No

A monitor.

Anyone who can bring consoles, monitors or both, please do.

There are a few going down from Belfast and the train only gets into Connolly around 12:45 so may not get there on time.

Usually make it to the exchange for around 13:15.

Can you txt a list of people coming from the north when you know and we'll just include you in the draw

blag

No

Yeah, that's fine, think I have Dreddys number so I'll let him know when we're on the way down and know exactly who's going.

Or if Chopper or anybody else involved in organising wants to PM me their number I'll let them know either.
