Inferno XXI - SSFIV:AE Tournament, Dublin 05/11/2011 Exchange, Temple Bar

chopperbyrne

Inferno will once again be held at Exchange Dublin on Saturday the 5th of November.

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. All alt costumes are soft banned. A player can request that both characters have to use the default costume.

9. No white track suits please.

I'm not sure what my shifts are going to be like in work and won't find out until the week before, so someone else may have to take over for the day if I can't make it.

I think rule 6 should be modified to be outright forfeit of a paused round because it may well throw off the other player but it's not fair on them to have to be the dickhead not agreeing to continue when it could well have cost him the round.

It's something people should just be cool with that if the pause the round they lose it end of. **** one if it happens I know but you live and learn. The other player shouldn't have to disagree to continue.

Also rule 4 implies you must stick to one character for the groups stage. Some clarity here would be good.

I'll be down selling tickets for my stick. This is the last day I'll be doing it and if interest isn't high enough I'll be returning the money to everyone who bought a ticket. I was hoping to keep the stick within our group but at this stage it's looking like I'll be selling it on eBay or something like that.

I've had loads of people pause on me in tourneys. I always let it go. I'm happy with it being on the players discretion. I say leave it as is.

It's an accident and isn't done on purpose. It should be standard between friends tbh. If a person needs a forfeited round in order to win, they didn't deserve to win.

My opinion, don't slate me for it.

Doctor DooM

Is it that time again

I can bring an xbox that requires an AE disc*** or an internet connection in order for my AE DLC to work.

Also, I'll be filling in for Konata on the desk if she's not there at all.

What's the rulings regarding wireless pads? The pad I use is wireless and that's where my muscle memory is, I have a reallly old spare wired pad I never use, I tried using it just now and it's crap (stiff buttons, dpad is stiff too), I can barely QCF on it =[

Someone fill me in so I know the story come Saturday

Orim

Just remember to turn the bloody thing off when you finish and it should be fine.

Anyone going for pints after? I probably won't be able to make for the full day so I was thinking I might drop in my Xbox and pick it up later. But a) I don't think I'll make it make till later and b) I wouldn't mind going for pints

If you have a Charge and Play kit and it's a 360 pad, just take out the battery and plug the charger in and you can plug it into the Xbox and out without worries of accidentally reconnecting it.

True but it still fecks up the associations of the pad and sticks when we try to change them over.

Not sure if I'll be up to this... I've been at a FG event almost every week end for months. An intentional break might be nice.

Though I haven't been to an Inferno in ages

Weird that. Want a gentlemans agreement for a Sagat mirror if we meet in the tournament?

Speed Boat

No

You're mad for your Sagat! I've been messing with Fei the last few weeks but I'll play the mirror with you for sure. I'm not likely to get out of groups though!

Looking forward to this Inferno.

Get hype!

Ramza

No

Gonna make the best of Yang before he gets ****ing castrated in 2012

RIP

Tnx cog. Anyone else on that train from de north? 

Doctor DooM

No

Just want to apologise for the technical problems today. I'm genuinely sorry for them.

I'll get a new VGA converter, ultimately the best solution would be to bring a component capable screen. Regardless, don't want it to happen again. Sorry.

Sairus

For those of us that were far too pretty to attend, what happened?

And who won and stuff?

There was either a problem with my vga converter or the monitor it was connected to. Kept cutting out.

Also the Hauppage was worse than ever today. So much equipment fecked

UberPrinny_Baal

No

GGs to everyone today.

Fairly low attendance, so plenty of time for casuals.
I had a lot of fun and education playing Speedboat and Ramza. It was great experience versus the AE Hong-Kong Top tier.

Ramza's been officially Christened "Irish Desk", cos he brings the mad tech.
