Hey TFTV. It's that time again. Time for a netplay tournament!
This tournament starts Saturday, October 15th at 3pm EST. Signups are cutoff at Saturday, October 15th at 12am EST.
This tournament is going to be free-entry.
Bracket:
http://challonge.com/tftvmelee6
Rules:
- NA only
- We use a slightly edited version of the Smashboards ruleset, which you can see here:
http://smashboards.com/rulesets/melee/
Since pause is automatically left on by the Netplay settings, we can't turn it off; accidentally pausing mid-game still forfeits your stock.
Because we can't do RPS online, lower seed strikes first.
- Use Dolphin 5.0 321 (if enough interest is shown, we may try to use faster melee)
- Double elim
- BO3 throughout, BO5 winners/losers semis/finals and grands (winner gets 1BO5 advantage in GFs)
- Forfeit rule: 10+ minutes late to your game is an automatic FFL (with exceptions due to extenuating circumstances, discuss with me beforehand)
- In a case of unplayable lag, or inability to connect, players can agree to play on a different Dolphin version. If the issues are not resolved, a TO will be called to determine if a forfeit is warranted. The lagging player also has the right to forfeit the match.
We're going to be using Discord for this tourney. Join the discord channel here.
Sign up below. Include your alias and your closest region (west coast or east coast). We're going to try to balance out the bracket so that people get better ping matchups, at least in the first rounds.
I may try to do a stream and cast myself since I have the ability to do so now; however it would be a bit awkward for me to do it myself (since i'm playing), so contact me if you're willing to stream or cast the tourney.
Thanks for playing, and here's to a good tourney!
PSA:
Please, if you sign up, actually make sure you can show up. I've had to DQ so many people every tourney I was thinking about just blacklisting the people that sign up and never show. Thanks.
