For the convenience of tournament play, the venue fee will provide:
SF4 on free play until close (Midnight)
Big screen hooked up to cabinet for easier watching
Bar tables and chairs set up around cabinet for additional convenience
Tournament Registration:
Last tournament we had a good showing, but we can do better! Tournament ran from 6:45 to 9:00, leaving three hours of free play to enjoy. This time however, an actual nice flyer will be posted at Gameworks three weeks prior to the tournament date. We had a couple of unregistered teams show up last time, so the additional cushion before the next tournament will mean that a full roster is likely. Signing up guarantees your spot, but please be near certain you can attend. Back up slots are available should we fill up and get no-shows.

When your team arrives and each team member hands in their 10$ tournament fee, you will draw from a hat of sixteen cards and your team will be assigned a number. This number will not only be your proof of purchase, but it will be used to determine your opponent. (I will also keep a record of this token, so no switching once you find out what number the chun-li girl and Spriggan have). When a match starts, each team will hand in their card, with the winner getting theirs back. If you don’t have a card, then you won’t be allowed to play. The card number first round matches will be:
1 vs 2
3 vs 4
5 vs 6
7 vs 8
9 vs 10
11 vs 12
13 vs 14
15 vs 16
This will ensure no bias, no seeding, and pure random allocation.
Since this is single elimination, and technically two 3rd place slots, there will be a 3rd place match between the losers of each semi-final match after the finals have been played.
If there are fewer than 16 teams, there will be a random selection of card number(s) who will recieve a first round bye in the tournament.
Because of the single cabinet, and the simplicity of single elimination and the matchup system, matches will be prepared as soon as the cards are purchased and matches will be called in rapid succession. This time, I will have access to the overhead microphone system, so you need not have to stay around the tournament area the entire duration of the tournament. However, for speed sake, you are encouraged to be close and be aware of your team when called. I will call the current match and the match on deck each time, so you will have plenty of warning. If your team is holding up the tournament after a minute of being called for your match, you will likely be disqualified. No execptions.
