also if you only join the steam group and don't actually make a signup post i'm probably going to miss your intent to play so please don't do that

I've also been informed that an ultiduo tourney is happening on the same day; the cross-tourney participants (deer, safrix, cereal, waldo) will be granted some degree of leniency from the 10min FFL rule

hahahhahahaha lmao are we esports now

Brackets have been updated. Only 7 away from the max of 32!

[insert post to join the steam group here]

spot of tftv history

are you actually serious June wtf

I'll probably cap it at 32 people or Thursday night.

The stream will most likely be on Mangachu's twitch (pending any changes). Shoutout to Mangachu who will also be creating the overlays!

Still looking for 2+ more casters.

too cloudy :(

Update!

Please join the steam group in the OP so you can add your opponents.

Also a bit of a survey. If we were to do paid tournaments in the future, would you guys want tf2 keys (for ease of collection/distribution) or cold hard cash USD/CAD

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'll set something up, a casting rotation of at least 4 players and someone who's not playing/has decent internet to stream and cam.

If you're interested in casting or camming (this includes manning the overlays and stuff), add me and we can talk.

I'd love to do it myself but I'm not sure how spectating works inside Dolphin.

ayo.

You like melee?

Welcome to the inaugural TFTV Netplay Tournament. This is the first in a (hopeful) series of tourneys. Our first one is going to be free, but if we get enough interest we'll be running some buyin tourneys with pots.

This first one starts Saturday, October 3rd at 3pm EST. Entry is free. Sign ups lock on Friday, Oct 2nd at 12am EST or when 32 people have signed up.

Featuring on casting:
flatline
row
exc0
han
Twitchy

Bracket:
http://challonge.com/tftvmelee1/

Rules:
-Smashboards ruleset (http://smashboards.com/rulesets/melee/) except for one thing. Obviously because we can't do RPS online, lower seed strikes first.
-Use Dolphin 7840
-Double elim
-BO3 throughout, BO5 semi/finals (winner gets 1BO5 advantage in GFs)
-Forfeit rule: 10+ minutes late to your game is an automatic FFL
-Join the steam group (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfdottvsmash) to find your opponents!
-Winners report scores through steam group on match announcement

Sign up below. Include your alias and your closest region (west coast or east coast). Also link your steam profile so I can add you if need be. We're going to try to balance out the bracket so that people get better ping matchups, at least in the first rounds.

Edit 1:
Already 16 entrants and an even bracket!
Steam group created to make it easier to add your opponents. (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfdottvsmash)
Also, if you're interested in being in the casting rotation, feel free to add me.

Edit 2:
updated with casters. 27 entrants! 32 is max.
If necessary, I'll start sending out invites to people who haven't joined the group (around Wednesday?)
stream confirmed - http://twitch.tv/mangachu_

Edit 3:
32 player max reached!
Seeding is in the process of being done.
The tournament schedule will be pretty loose; if you advance into the next round and you have an opponent to play you don't have to wait around. *I or another caster will contact you on Steam if we want the info to get your match casted (so don't go super super fast).

Edit 4:
Invites sent out for group
Seeding mostly completed

as a side note look at all these nerd stars
