DoC 11: 11th Hour. 2nd Novemer, XGC. BB, MvC, IGAU

Voa

Holy **** this is late going up.
Sorry about that.
In any case!
Day Of Champions 11
2nd of November
BB, IGAU, MvC3
PS3 for IGAU and BB, Xbox for MvC.
Doors open normal hours for XGC, Starting roughly 1.30-2pm. (subject to change, if people find 12pm easier to get in for, we'll swap it up)
10 into 1 tournament, 15 into all.
As a heads up, 7 euro of the price is going towards the XGC, so adjust prize pool expectations accordingly.

As of right now, SF has been discounted from the running of this DoC, and I have a reason for it: there have been 2 SF featured events recently (DoC 10 had pools into top 8, and the first XGC return tournament featured SF as well). As such, I want to take DoC back to its roots a little and try for more emphasis on the other games in the scene, rather than catering to the largest demographic. This also has to do with time: the XGC is a business, and having 4 tournaments in the one day means we're occupying the top floor for 8 hours at 5 euro's per head. SF generally takes the longest to run when put together with other tournaments, as we're waiting on people to finish there before going to game X.
Keep in mind this isn't set in stone, and is subject to change. If things do change, I'll ask Doom to edit the title of this thread with the date.
I understand people might be upset at the lack of SF in the running, as such, if people really want it, I will step up and organise and run an SF only competition in December, with focus solely on SF, featuring pools into 16 double elim (provided we have the numbers).

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. Any game with with a different rule set will be played according to its tournament standard type.
Players who placed in top 8 in the prior 3 DoCs or Infernos (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. This includes pausing during cinematic supers/hypers, except in the case of a character death being guaranteed by the super/hyper.

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. Participation in the event is taken as giving permission that you accept that you may be recorded as part of the tournaments. Should you wish to participate and not be recorded, you will need to make this known to a tournament admin at sign up.

11. No white track suits please.

EDIT: Times

Running order for the tournament will be : 1.30 start for BBCP, followed by IGAU when BB ends, and concluded with UMvC3. We aim to be finished around 6-7.

yea missed my train so couldnt make it in so good to hear ill least have the injustice videos to watch from the event,
it sucked the event before that ajay did didnt get recorded

Voa

Uuuuuuuuuuuum...I'm sorry about this...but we couldn't record it
Lar got in too late, and we just had to use the pre-patched console to play off of. Which we couldn't set up recording for...:(

Come Wednesday, I'll talk to Felix about an even in December, and make it AE and IGAU only (maybe an no cash-prize BB side tourney or something, but nothing else). We'll do everything we can to get IGUA recorded, since this DoC was too late for a lot of people and the launch event didn't get any recorded.

In other news, RESULTS!

Might as well use my first tourney in months to put in my first post-

Might as well just say I had a blast, and ggs to everyone I played in both Blaz and KoF... even though I only played Scavenger in KoF (and got destroyed hardcore in grand finals cause I stopped paying attention) :U

I'll probably start coming down to Ireland (money withstanding) every so often to play with you all some more!

Wait did you seriously not get to play anyone else? :pac:

In other news did anyone find a hat and gloves lying around? I think they may have dropped out of my bag near the BB casuals setup.

Doctor DooM

Hey guys,

I'm afraid I have a little bit of bad news.

Something went wrong during the recording of the BB finals. I think it's a bug with Xsplit.

I restarted during the reset but the first half of the finals is unwatchable. I haz a sorry
