[*] Streaming shall occur sequentially as each game completes. [*] After tournaments are done, time is available for casuals and training. [*] Prefer that side tournaments not run at same time as main tournaments. Fee Structure: An external funding source grants you a $2 bonus entering your first game. This means your first game is $3 to enter. Any additional game is $5. The end result is that entering the tournament and games will be a multiple of $5 in the end for you. So if you only enter 1 game, $10 overall. If you enter 2 games, $15 overall. And so on.

PhaethonH Report post Posted August 12, 2013 Still experimenting with running tournaments; notable changes: Moved up first match to 4pm to give more time at end for learning/practice. Guilty Gear prioritized, time and streamwise Do not want side tournaments happening at same time as mains. While nothing can really stop side tournaments, the upshot is that TOs will not suspend a match for side tournaments (i.e. disqualify if held up in sides). Also, this will be the last occurrence at San Mateo Gamecenter. While the venue may be closing, I have found ways to keep the GG tournies alive (P4A, BB... you guys are on your own :razz:)About Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core Plus RAs of this writing, GGXXACPR ("+R") is available on JP PSN, but not yet on US PSN. I am willing to make a last-minute change to go with +R if: There is sufficient demand for it in the thread here (post up, dangit) and sufficient quantities of stations can be secured to run +R (minimum 4) or +R comes out on US PSN before I head over to start tournaments Nonetheless, +R will be available after tournaments for casuals. We shall be using Plus R the whole time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tari Report post Posted August 12, 2013 I want +R! lol I don't want to have to remember which way to hold my stick when I throw people, just because we're going back to vanilla AC+. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsubasa Report post Posted August 12, 2013 I think it would be preferable to go with +R cause it's available. As much as I don't mind vanilla AC cause <3 easy mode dolphin loops. I can provide a +R setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TRM]tenkai-45i[xTF] Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Not to discourage anyone from going to Gamecenter on Sunday, but I think a lot of us will be on cooldown after this Saturday. We'll be there all day, so if you wanted to somehow swing by at night and squeeze some matches in, you're more than welcome to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
