I’m in Titan! I was able to get the night off.
I haven’t played too much HDR though. UFC undisputed has been taking a lot of my time lol.
I’ll tape matches again if that’s cool. Hopefully PSN will cooperate this time and let me get in the final’s room.
I’m still on with this even though I haven’t been around in a couple days. Wasn’t feeling well Sunday night and then was sick all day Monday. At least it wasn’t the kids, I guess.
I have added the fine print and additional details to the original post. I’ll be sending reminder messages tomorrow.
Please be in the IRC tourney chat room (#hdremix on EFnet) by the posted start time. Signups open until one hour before start time. Matches begin 5 minutes after the posted start time.

Hi, I know that Im new in this forum, but, would you let me join to the tournament? philcito told me about this.
Thanks, my PSN: chrnoxx
Hey Titan, glad to see your still organizing these tournies. I’ll sign up for this tournament. I’m pretty rusty, but it will be fun.
PSN: eltwopee
Character: Blanka
How long do these things usually take? I’m on the east coast and 12:30AM is about the latest I can justify playing this til. I have to work at 7 in the morning. That is assuming I even make it past the first round.
Sign me up.
In the last tournament, which had 18 players in double elimination, the grand finals match had been determined but not yet played after 90 minutes.
That tournament had a fairly long tail in the losers bracket, partly because of people taking smoke breaks and problems getting a third person connected to do the video recordings. Some of the players also played best-of-5 matches instead of best-of-3.
Unless you make it that far, you’ll be done in less than 75 minutes for sure. One quarter of the players are eliminated after 2 matches, and another quarter are done after 3 matches. Double elimination takes a little time to play out due to the loser’s bracket.
I was also slowed down by having to communicate in two separate chat areas (IRC and PSN). That’s why I want to stick with just IRC this time.
Ideally, this is how the rounds progress for 16 and 32 player double elimination brackets. W is winner’s bracket, L is loser’s bracket. G is for grand finals.
W1 (16 players)
W2 (8) + L1 (8) 4 eliminated
L2 (8) 4 eliminated
W3 (4) + L3 (4) 2 eliminated
L4 (4) 2 eliminated
W4 (2) + L5 (2) 1 eliminated
L6 (2) 1 eliminated
G1 (2)
G2 (2) if necessary
W1 (32 players)
W2 (16) + L1 (16) 8 eliminated
L2 (16) 8 eliminated
W3 (8) + L3 (8) 4 eliminated
L4 (8) 4 eliminated
W4 (4) + L5 (4) 2 eliminated
L6 (4) 2 eliminated
W5 (2) + L7 (2) 1 eliminated
L8 (2) 1 eliminated
G1 (2)
G2 (2) if necessary
titan did i read that right its best of three 5 round fights this time? every match?
imma have to resign from the tourney. I got a fantasy draft to attend.
Sign me up…
Is there any room left? If so, I’m in.
Ah, someone who reads! Yes, I have specified best of three 5-round games for each match. I’m conflicted about that decision because of how long it takes to do things in double elimination. I chose 5-rounds this time because that is what I saw them using in some XBL tourneys. However, a 5-round game runs counter to the keep it simple and use defaults lessons I have learned. After posting the winners/losers timeline the other day (a few posts up from this one), I have thought about going back to best of three 3-round games for all matches.
And so it is: All matches will be best of three 3-round games. The original post has been updated.
IMPORTANT: Two little things, namely my kids, have been disrupting the usual schedule at home. Both were sick last night and stayed home today (1st day of kindergarten for the oldest). Hopefully they will have a good day and have a good night of sleep tonight. If they are needing attention tonight, I’m gonna have to postpone this little ditty til next week. Stay tuned.
So, today is the day, well… I will be ten minutes early on IRCchannel, see ya.
Yea…I might have to resign as well. I have a dinner to go to tonight, and I don’t know if I’ll be back home in time for this. So I guess you can put me down for game time decision?
OK, I’ll figure it out either way.
my bro wants in titan hadouken696969
titan AFromatic1234 wants in he said he sent you a message. try to get him in hes the best player ive ever seen. noone should beat him.
i totaly hear you about the kids man. ive got 2 and i always go through shit like that. where you at that they have kindergarten already?
Hear you with the kids. Mine is 20 months right now.
I might be a little late tonight, I got to pick him up from my mom-in-laws right after work.
I’ll take a DQ if I end up holding up my match too long.
Quad Cities - Davenport, Iowa. It’s that time of the year around here. My girl is almost 6 and the boy is 18 months.
At this point the tourney is still a go… Hope no one here decides to get sick between 9:30 and about 11:30 central time.
