SCHEDULE

Casuals and Registration start at 11 PM (or sooner)

Tournaments begin no later than 1 PM

VENUE IS OPEN UNTIL 5 AM, SO NO CAP ON TOURNAMENT TIME

RULES:

All tournaments will be 2/3 Rounds, 2/3 Matches, Double elimination unless listed otherwise.

Top 4 in each tournament will switch to 2/3 rounds, 3/5 matches.

If you wish to change controls, do so prior to the match during a button check. If you begin the match with the wrong controls, that is too bad. If you pause the match or attempt to restart because your controls were messed up, you forfeit your match.

If you wish to use multi button binds for other games, it will have to be at the affirmation of your opponent.

Default button binds are exempt from this rule

Winner keeps same character, loser may select a new one

All games will be played on random stage select

T6 will be 3/5 rounds, 2/3 Matches.

Blind character selection may be requested if a counter pick is a concern. In this case, one of the staff may be called upon to get the selection of both characters from the competitors.

If you are called for a match, you will have 5 minutes (which is VERY lenient) to get to your station and play. If you fail to get to your station, you will forfeit the match. This is not true in the case of someone playing in another game if they are called to play. This is the only exemption. Making your opponents wait is rude, and it also holds up the progress of our bracket. Be courteous. If you are in a tournament that is on going, then stick around. If you need to go smoke, do it fast, and continue your conversations back in the tournament room.

Regarding PS3 pads Do not turn your pad ON until you have synced it to a system using a USB cord. PLEASE turn OFF your pad following the end of your match. This has been an issue in the past, and this negligence isn’t going to be tolerated. It’s disruptive to the people who come to play after you. Failure to turn off your pad will result in an automatic disqualification which will count as a loss in your tournament record. A second offense will result in your forfeit from the tournament.

Bring your OWN EQUIPMENT In many cases, I see people needing to wait around because either they left their stick/pad at home, or they lent it out to someone else. This is UNACCEPTABLE. If you are going to a tournament, then you should at LEAST have your own equipment. If I have to wait on someone because they lent out their equipment, I will be very unhappy. I’ll bring extra pads, and an extra stick of my own for this at this tournament, but PLEASE bring your own equipment so we can keep things running smoothly.

If you CAN, please bring SETUPS This is more of a request, but depending on what you bring, and what we use, you will be given a discount.

  • A setup (PS3 with Monitor) means you pay nothing.

  • No PS3 or Monitor/TV and you pay the full $5.

If people can bring setups (PS3’s, games, MONITORS) then PLEASE do. We were ridiculously short handed on equipment last time, and this makes it nearly impossible to run these tournaments smoothly. I’d like to be able to do a variety of games, and not have to kick people off casual stations, but in order to do this, we NEED to have as many setups as we can. I understand the inconvenience of unplugging and hauling Playstations and monitors, but it would help our tournament run more smoothly, and quickly, an allow everyone to play the games that they want to play.

The venue is gaming cafe and we are being offered snacks for the venue fee. There is a bar nearby, in walking distance, for those of you who are sad about not having a venue with drinking anymore.

See everybody there.

I will be at this even to play video games.

SSF4 AE 2012 and UMvC3.

I plan on entering everything but SFxT!

Casuals and Registration start at 11 PM (or sooner) o_O …Hmm that’s a long tyme to wait for casuals and registration…well it does also say sooner.

Quasimodo’s is still a horrible name

I haven’t been to Maxout since November and will do my best to be at this one. So far I am looking for a partner on SFXTK and am entering UMVC3. I would have entered the BB tourney but I didn’t have the money in Feb. and I do now but can not seem to find a copy near OP. I am looking for a new copy and if anyone knows where to find one I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey yo, This is JaMarr, Nebraska, is getting together to see who can make it. Had a blast time, looking forward to some more good matches.

Hey JaMarr. I heard you were the best. Care to share?

Very interested in attending.

Just got my new copy of BBCSE Special Edition no less so thanks a million I couldn’t have found it if it wasn’t for the amazing people of KC SRK!

Challonge link needs to be updated, until then I will be posting my intentions here. Looking to pot monster in 2012 and KOF.

I am also looking for a partner for SFxT. All interested parties please send your resume to my Facebook page. Thank you and good luck.

I was just wondering what would it take to have Soul Calibur 5 back at Maxout? I know the answer is attention but what would be a good way to show the attention for it?

I’ll be there for SFxT, AE 2012 and UMvC3. Don’t see anywhere on that Challonge link I can register, though.

I’ll also bring a PS3 and TV since you said you’ll take what you can get.

Doesn’t look like Le/John have updated the site for the new date.

Also, to get SC5 into the tournament we would need a minimum level of entrants and most likely it would cause a bump in another game. A huge issue we have every Maxout is trying to do too much. We just don’t have the time/space to play everything people want played. Unless MO turns into a 2 day event or we end up with a location that can house double the space (AND we have more setups brought in) there is just no way to get all the games in.

I would actually vote for a Skullgirls tournament far before SC5. There is clearly enough interest for it at this point and I think we could get at least 10 people to sign up.

ATTENTION : Important announcement regarding MAXOUT this weekend :

As of right now, the fate of my job and our venue are uncertain. It may be that Quasimodo’s is ‘moving in a different direction’. What this could mean is that all of the employees currently working there, may all be terminated, which would also mean the end this being our venue.

I am waiting on confirmation on whether or not I am even still employed, but the issue for all of you, is that MAXOUT will NOT be held at this venue.

What this could mean :

  • MAXOUT will NOT happen on the 21st of this month, and will be suspended until a new venue is figured out.
    -MAXOUT WILL happen on the 21st, but will be held at a different location.

I am still in shock, and don’t know specifics, but this is the way things look as of now. I’ll try to secure a new venue before this Saturday, so that those of you who had to ask off work, won’t be doing so for naught.

I’m really sorry guys. This was completely out of my hands, and I didn’t even know about it till just now. I’ll have more information for you as it becomes available to me.

FIGURED IT OUT. Updated first post with details about the new venue. Thanks for your patience guys.

Iowa will be returning, don’t start without us. >.>
