Day Of Champions 6! (January 28th)

Voa

DoC; no longer with Internets! I will be putting up the seeding list here for people in all three seeded games (in BB and UMvC this will be top 8/9, and a much larger bracket for MK9, due to it's musical chairs nature of top 8 (besides Kuro, I mean)), and we'll be using Tournament Maker 2.1 for creating the brackets. We're changing over from Challonge due to some issues with loser's bracket not working properly (people from the same winner's bracket being placed in the same loser's bracket instead of being spread out).
The venue will be open from 12pm till 20pm, with tournaments starting as close to 12.30 as we can manage, in the Exchange. Entry price will be as follows; 5 euro to go towards the exchange, with one entry to a single tournament costing 7 quid, entry to all tournaments costing 10.
Prizes will be paid out with ratio to the total number of entrants based off the total prize pot. Thus, the bigger the tournament, the bigger the money. Tournament running order will be;
KoF to begin at 12.30 (or close enough). Once KoF is nearing its end stages, signups will close for UMvC3, and it will begin on limited setups. Once UMvC 3 is nearing its completion, BBCS2 and MK9 will both start, with BBCS2 being exclusively on Xbox, and MK9 being PS3 exclusive. This running order is provisional, and subject to change.
I also want to address the fact that, yes, some members of the community have got BBCSX (we need to agree on a decent acronym for that) and would prefer to have that as the game run. If enough people push for it, we can reorganise the running order to facilitate it, but having 2 PS3 limited games might cause some time issues, especially considering how long BB matches are normally.
We'll be running these brackets military; we'll be placing our main desk front and center for people to request their brackets, as well as having them put up behind the main desk. This also means, that, if you are called for a match, and fail to turn up in 1 to 2 minutes, you WILL be disqualified. We're being strict as all hell about this. If you are leaving the venue, inform a tournament admin or myself about it, so we can play other matches ahead of yours, before yours becomes a problem. If you are absent for longer than 5 minutes, you will be disqualified regardless.
If you have been PM'd about bringing kit in on the day, PLEASE ensure you turn up at 12, if not a little before. Anyone else who wants to turn up early is very welcome to, but keep in mind, you will be made help move heavy things around.

Tournament Rules and Format.

Format is as follows; All tournaments are double elimination. Each match will consist of 3 games with each game beings best of 3 rounds, except for UMvC3, which will be best of 3 games. If one player wins the first 2 games the third game is not played.
Players who placed in top 8 in the prior 3 DoCs (where applicable) will be seeded accordingly. All others will be randomly seeded.

1. All characters are useable, but if you require DLC characters, please make that known prior to your match.

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. In UMvC3, orders of characters may be changed, but assist

types may not.

5. Double Blind select available in the event of people being concerned about counter picking. An admin will assist with this if required.

6. Rock, paper, scissors is used in the event of people being unable to agree on which side they want to sit on.

7. 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.

8. In the event of a game ending in a draw, the game will scrapped and not counted towards the results. It will then be replayed. (Though it will be pretty damn hype.)

9. 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.

10. No white track suits please. :P

People divided on the same lines by commas are seeded in identical spots. Seeds are divided going vertically, with top seed at the head of the list and last seed at the bottom.

Just stating that I'd be in favour of BBCS:EX instead of BBCS2 and would be able to provide a copy.

Just think of the Tager buffs.

i would like that.

But no because of the people that don't have the game. would be at a huge disadvantage.

Do you mean 8pm (20:00hrs) or was that a typo of 10pm?

Naphiel wrote: »

Why not just call it "BB:X" to shorten the ironically long acronym? (not that I mind which is used, I barely play BB so it ain't my place to suggest)

Looking forward to January the 28th!

Yreval

I've seen it referred to as "BBEX" (example: this video). I'd go with that myself.

Doyler01

I think the most popular name for it is "Poo"

DR and myself are puzzled by this seeding/seeds thing.

Anyone care to explain?

IIn case it's needed, you could use the results of TYH to help seed KoF.

Might head up to this for BB and KoF

The seed list is the top players from the last few tournaments - they're placed as far away in the bracket as possible from each other initially so they don't knock each other out early on in the tournament, and have a better chance of meeting each other later on in the tournament instead.

Someone has my spare pad from the Test Your Hype. I got given the wrong one back. Characters don't jump forward properly with it for some reason. So if anyone realizes they got a better pad back instead of their own Id appreciate mine back as it was bought specifically the Day of DoC 5 so DR and others could use it during their games.

Cheers.

If there's any problems, bro, I'll score you a new one. Least I can do after you helping me out at the last DoC.

I couldn't let you do that man, don't worry urself.
Its up to the person who got a better pad back to own up.
Iv been bringing my gear down last couple Tourneys so it wud be appreciated if I got my **** back. You can have ur own pad back for it.

Thanx.

All the best,

In future, you should mark your pads to prevent this kind of confusion. I personally put some duct tape on the back. Anything works, just a mark that you yourself use and nobody else does.

powerofscience

Naph and Chuey already said it, but if possible I'd like to have BBCS:EX played instead of CS2. I get what Chuey is saying where the people that don't have it would be at a disadvantage, but I think it's best if we keep with whatever the current version of the game is. I realize this may not be possible since as far as I know only two people own the game (me and naphiel), but if at all possible I would prefer EX. If not then no big deal, I can stick with using broken Noel...Haida loop all the characters!

^ this is very sound advice ^

luckily all my pads/game boxes has there own marks from use that this hasnt happen to me and my stick has a baraka on it so no confusion to who owns that

anyway razer im sure it was just a innocent mistake,i havnt met a malice person in this community yet who do that kinda thing on purpose.were good guys

Echoing what everyone else said: Mark your stuff. I'm pretty sure I saw your PS3 was marked, so no harm doing the rest of your gear. Things get passed around a lot at tournaments. My own TE has teleported around the room, apparently under it's own power at countless events. I can always find it in the end though because of a few silly free stickers on there.

For your specific problem though:

(1) Are you sure it's not your controller?

You might be having a bad spell, they might have patched the game in some way, or your own controller might be wearing down and breaking. It could have even been broken at DOC 5.

(2) If it definitely isn't your original controller, what kind of controller is it, what colour is it, etc etc?

There's a lot of hardware floating around, so your chances of getting it back are a lot better with more specifics.

I'm gonna have to say we keep BBCS2 on the show here. You're talking about current version. There's people there who won't have the game until it's released here in FEBRUARY. It would be very very unfair on those guys who don't want to import if we're playing a game that they don't even have.

Naphiel

BBCS2 is the obvious choice. I wasn't serious when I suggested Extend and I don't think Alex was either, we both just stated that we wouldn't be opposed to it.

Extend isn't being released in February, don't lie to yourself. I wasn't around for the CS launch, will be running Extend tournaments when it's released in the US or do we wait until it's released here?

lol you afraid of buffed characters bro?

Voa

DoC will remain CS2 until a European launch of Extend. Once Extend drops here, we will swap over.



That being said, I'ma want to do some proper training in it once DoC is over with, Extend is being played in Cannes, and I'm DAMNED if I'm going over combo-blind. But that's another topic, not for discussion in this thread.

When I get my stick back from Kiki, I can bring my copy in for some training sessions in SF depending on your timetable. We both need to be godlike for Cannes.

DOC related, you guys aren't ready for my secret character.

Not when both of the characters I play have been buffed in a damn good fashion, no.

Letters: Didn't say anyone stole it man

UberPrinny: It was an all black Dualshock 3 (not a sixaxis) that was bought for DoC5. It was working perfect before and during TestYourHype. Thats why I think I got given back a different one (hard to distinguish 2 pads that look alike)by mistake because when I tried it at home it doesn't register forward jumps properly 100%. Im pretty sure it wasn't my pad man as mine was brand new and didn't function like a knock-off controller like it does now.

If no one has noticed they now own a better pad so be it. Im not crying over it any more, just would be nice to get mine back.

Ill be much more careful next time though so don't worry.

Razer stickers on console, pads, leads, cables, games, you name it lol

EDIT: Happy New Year btw!

All the best,
Razer

Just a tip when making these multi tournament threads in future: put a list of events in the first post so you can tell at a glance what's being played.
The wall of text first post is kind of hard to pull details from.

I'll be there if some1 can tell me where it is being held. I assume it will be in Dublin because that is where "everything" happens. So what is the name of the hotel and the name of the street please.
