    It's being a while since the last Tempest, I know. Also, the date is 1 week later than planned as I felt putting the original planned date of the 25th of August on everyone at this stage simply wouldn't be fair as it would be too short of a notice.

    We've also got a new ( slightly cheaper ) venue, all thanks to the efforts of Shokashi; The Maradyke. What's more, we're also getting more bang for our buck as he has being able to secure us a package that includes free food and drink ( soda in this case. )

    The time for the event is from 12pm to 5pm. We'll be opening at 12pm for registration and casuals and will be beginning the tournament at 1pm, all going to plan.

    If anyone can bring equipment ( ie, Xboxes, monitors, speakers, etc. ) Then please let us know here.

    Here is a map as to the location of the venue in relation to the train station and the bus station;

    Rules are as follows:

    SSFIV:

    Prize pot will be split 60/30/10 among the top 3 finishers.

    The tournament format is a group stage followed by a double elimination brackets stage.

    Each match will be best of 3 games and each game is best of 3 rounds. The third game of a match will only be played in the event of a tie after the second game. If one player wins the first 2 games the third game is not played.

    Time is set to 99 seconds.

    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 set. However once a set has started they may only change characters after losing a game. The winner of the first game must stick to the character they started the game with and may only change if he loses the second game, in which case the winner of the second game must then stick to the character he used in the second game.

    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.

    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 food can be eaten in the venue that was not bought on the premises.

    thanks misty

    it took a few days but i found a place that is better so i was told.
    also to point out there will also be finger foods for us to munch on and soft drinks and a cake if we want, but its up to you guys ill see if we can change the cake for more finger foods for every one.

    ok there may be a big screen for us to play on also as for the time there, the person who i was talking to about hiring the place out us said that she will get back to me within the next 2 days about the times we can run it, i did mention that all we need is a 12 to 5 if that for us to do out gaming.

    Cheers for calling me Shokashi, wasn't aware there was anything going on.
    I'm not sure if I can make it into town on Saturday but if no one else will volunteer, I'll sacrifice some plans and contribute to the cause and help out. What time and where would we meet up?

    Mardyke is a sick venue, nice find man. I shall be at Tempest most certainly!
    Also, what time will Tempest be starting at and finishing at?

    EDIT: Aghh! I'm going to a christening Saturday from 12pm - 4:30pm. Apologies.
    See you all @ Tempest.

    Just to say on thread I'll be at Tempest but it's my birthday Saturday and I have stuff planned for it so I won't be around. If you have some of those fliers left over and gave them to some one who would be around town during the week I'll meet them and stick some up on the notice boards in CIT.

    Not bad or was it just luck? I might bring up to two extra people also! Hypest tempest ever. Unfortunately tomorrow I have to watch the dogs at my parents house to ensure they don't run about killing sheep and what have you.

    Ahhh yes I forgot about the equipment, we have one big screen in there and we have the one spare monitor too. On that note who ever has the monitor please make sure you bring it, otherwise it will be a very long tournament on one screen and casuals would be a pain. Plus if any one has a spare screen they can bring it would be very helpful. I got my xbox and we need one more for the big screen. I'll let you know if we need more if we can get an extra screen. Thanks guys

    Here's a quick picture showing people what part of the building they need to enter this Saturday. I'll have signs inside showing people where to go should the need arise.
