Tournament Rules:

-2 out of 3 round matches as stated above (the in-game setting for this is 2)

-Please don't skip the intro.

-NO ---> Stylish Mode //// Unlimiteds //// Character Switching

-Astrals are OK

-Grand Finals will be 3 out of 5 matches

For those that don't understand how Grand Finals works:

Grand Finals means whoever is still in the Winner's Bracket only has to win 1 SET (3 out of 5 matches). Whoever came out of Loser's into the Grand Finals has to win 2 SETS (3 out of 5 matches TWO different times). All matches are still 2 out of 3 rounds.

Disconnect/Connection Problem Rules:

-Disconnecting forfeits that Round, start up another match and get the rounds to go back to how they were originally and then the "Disconnector" must let the other person win whatever round was at the point when it disconnected.

Ex. Player A won Round 1, Player B disconnects during Round 2. Start a new match, let Player A win Round 1 because he won it previously, and then let him win Round 2 because Player B disconnected. Match continues at 2-0.

-If the person doesn't sign back on within 5 minutes they forfeit that match. If it wasn't during the Loser's Bracket then they can still continue with their Loser Bracket match if they sign back on in time.

-If two players can't connect to each other, I will try to find someone to host for you, or me and MisterBadguy can host for you.

-If anyone starts showing constant lag through out sufficient tournaments, depending on how many report you then you will NOT be allowed to continue participating in these tournaments regardless of your location (if you do manage to upgrade your internet, test it with me and I'll let you know on my decision)

-**DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT LAG** - however you can report connection issues (see above)

Communication:

-Please NO mics (we are trying to avoid lag here)

-MisterBadguy will be making a Text Chat Room for the tournament.

-Please do not talk a lot on the PSN chat, and only discuss things like hosting and giving me results.

-Feel free to leave the PSN chat once you and your opponent are matched up, but make sure you come back afterward.

Match Recording:

-If you can record your matches, feel free, and then post the links in this thread.

-If you want to volunteer to record other matches, let me know.

-You can volunteer to record matches and not participate in the tournament, if you are interested let me or MisterBadguy know know.

Tips on Avoiding Lag:

-Do not skip the intro.

-Do not use a mic.

-Leave the Text Chat BEFORE starting your match, leaving the Text Chat during the match (Character Select, Vs. Screen or during the intro) will mess up the synchronization and cause lag.

-Do not stream videos during the match (YouTube, Twitch.tv, etc.)

-Do not send messages (or go to the XMB) during the match (Character Select, Vs. Screen or during the intro) this will also mess up the synchronization.

-According to some people picking Mu's stage (altar without cocoon) helps with lag, if you feel it helps with your connection then feel free to pick it

*if anyone has any more tips to add, please let me know*

Time Zone:

-Sign-ups begin immediately.

-Please continue to sign-up even if spots are filled because there is a good chance someone won't be able to play at the last minute.

-Please sign-up using this format, I don't want to look up your info, and I shouldn't have to.

-NO ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS. The first account you signed up to these tournaments with will be considered your main account. If I find out that you have been using an alternate account AND your main/other alternate account for different tournaments I will not allow you to join other tournaments for a limited time. If you have a legit reason to be using an alternate, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

-If you're listed as a replacement player, you should still expect to be playing in the tournament. This is so if I need you, you will be available (on time) and still be warming up as if you were playing in the tournament anyway.

-NO DROPPING MID-TOURNAMENT. If you drop DURING the tournament for no good reason then you will be BANNED from the next tournament.

*Tips on avoiding lag*

Pick Mu's stage, the one with only the altar in the background, or Jin alt stage, the official stage of America (the stage in the Library with all of the people standing in the background).

As a member of Team DAI (West) would it be alright if I spectate on these matches or will that cause problems with the connection in the room?

Ill be working that night so no go for me. Goodluck to the TO and everyone entering. Is it going to be streamed at all?

[gli]

I'll refrain from entering these since I learned my connection is butt no matter which EST player I connect with but a stream of these matches would be awesome.

If we are streaming, I can do that (Unless I somehow got to the finals then someone else will have to). :p

I don't really believe in these stage myths (except for Monorail being really bad) but according to some people Mu's stage helps

but the case with Jin's stage is just a myth and a troll

I'll add the little tidbit about Mu's stage, thanks

FUCK!!!

stay free

As a member of Team DAI (West) would it be alright if I spectate on these matches or will that cause problems with the connection in the room?

unfortunately that would most likely cause problems with the connection of the room

but whenever we get someone to record you'll be able to watch these matches on YouTube

If I had the equipment I would record (or stream) but sadly that is not the case

you are more than welcome to stream if you want but I think a recording session would be more appropriate to suit the waiting times between matches

[Koopa_Klawz]

If I'm going to stream, then go ahead and put me for back up.

[Hellknight10]

If I'm going to stream, then go ahead and put me for back up.

just let me know before the tournament if you're going to stream

I'll keep you in the main sign-ups until you let me know
