NOM-DoC 14; What're all these Wiis doing here? June 14th-Project M/Tekken-Mario Kart

Voa

Day Of Champions 14
14th of June
Project M and Tekken as main tournaments, with Mario Kart 8 as the Nom-Con special.
PS3 for Tekken, Wiis for both other games..
Doors open normal hours for XGC, Starting roughly 1 pm ending roughly 7 pm
Map to venue: http://goo.gl/maps/jS36C
5 euro entry fee, 5 into 1 tournament. While Mario Kart WILL have a tournament fee, it will not have a prize pot. It will, however, have a special mystery prize.
The entry fee exists to cover costs towards the XGC.
Running order will be Tekken and Project M simultaneously, with Mario Kart run after Project M concludes. We will attempt to have top 4 for all games recorded, but all other recordings are not guaranteed. Recordings for Wii may prove problematic, but we will do our best to come up with a favourable recording solution.

Tournaments will be seeded by “Best Fit”; a TO will call on one or more players to give their honest opinion on a ranking list to provide the best balanced brackets possible.

Since this is being done in conjunction with Nom Con, prizes for the “Special” tournament itself, and the series of “Special” tournaments run with them, will be dictated by Nom Con. These prizes may include, and are not limited to; mystery games, passes into the convention itself, and other items.

Because of the lower number of tournaments taking place, we are actively encouraging players to come for casuals this time around. They will be charged venue fee, which is the same fee as casuals.
Please note; if I or any other TO calls you out and says “Play your match now”, and you do not immediately go to play your match, you will be DC'd. I know this seems harsh, but we've been running closer and closer to the wire in recent tournies.

Over the following months, we will be running a tournament on the first weekend of every month up to August. If you have a game that you believe could use a tournament, please feel free to PM me with recommendations. We will do our best to not have any repeat games crop up for the duration.

Tournament Rules and Format.

Format is as follows; All tournaments are double elimination, save Mario Kart. Each match will consist its own tournament standard rule set being applied. Please address queries to a more knowledgeable player for the exact nature of these rules.
Players who placed in top 8 in the prior 3 DoCs, or larger con tournaments, will be seeded accordingly. All others will be randomly/"best-fit" seeded.
In the case of pools, there will be an attempt at splitting up seeds evenly, and filling in the remainder of the pool evenly as well.

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.

Macal

Count me in for Tekken (It's Neil btw).

UberPrinny_Baal

It's worth pointing out that Project M doesn't have any scumbags like me and Gory who have invested hundreds of hours of play; so nobody is guaranteed to the win this one; it's anyone's game. Therefore everyone should enter.

Also every character in Melee and Brawl is playable, except I think Pichu.

So if you never entered past Smash games because it was lacking Ike or Mewto, you're all sorted now.

BigStupidGuy

Sure I'll be there for Tekken.

Kuro Tao

I'm there, with a console in tow.

Jun_DP101

I'm all about that Mario kart life. I'll try my best to be there

Project M, a main event at a tournament? ... Is this some sort of trick?

KhanYe East

PLEASE keep the Project M hype train alive into next year. I would love to come to this tourney, unfortunately, I'm headed to the US for the summer. I'll be back in Dublin in September though and I really would love to get a Smash community going here, even if it means I have to TO.

All credit to Voa here, it was his idea.

I just confirmed we'd bring the kit if he ran the game.

Not a fan of TTT2..
But I'll happily watch if Kuro is defending his title as iron fister

Lythero

Coming to body everyone at Mario Kart 8.



Staying to watch FergusChanSempai get bopped.

Fergus_

Voa, will TTT2 be 3/5 the whole way?

Come on Lee.

His Kirby isn't THAT bad.

D4RK ONION

Yo, Fergy chan has got this. If he doesn't win, I'm releasing a FergyChanBopped app. For real. I'm not even joking...

How would an app like that even work?

Fergus_

........pls no

Lythero

If you don't attend, then I'll make a FergusDodge app. Counts how many times you dodge.

Oh, it's already a thing. You guess whether Fergy gets bopped, and then you tell it if you were right or wrong. The app also guesses and it records your percentage. It's srs craic.

I guess they might expect lee to play tekken, fans are so unpredictable, have to wait and see

Lythero

Tekken? Moar liek pookken.

I'll let Fergus get all the viewers in for that game, but when when Mario Kart 8 starts I'll start a stream on my channel just to tell everyone to go to Brian's.

BigStupidGuy

What's the running order? Is Tekken on at 1:00?

Kuro Tao

Aiming to be in for 12, if anyone wants to come earlier for casuals.

Fergus_

I should be in for 12:30 and yeah Eoin, Tekken is first at 1.

What were the standings for each tournament?

Ixayek_usurper

Just wanted to say that it was great to be back amongst the scene today.
It was really great seeing everyone; esp. the guys who have been out of the scene for so long such as Bento, Eoin, Patrick etc. Had some great games and craic.

Special mention to Mazman; what a bloody match!! I really thought you were gonna put me in losers it was soo bloody close. My gf told me afterwards that she couldn't watch the whole match it was that nerve-wrecking for her! lol!

Cheers to Voa, Doom and the other peeps who helped.
