TENSION PULSE 2010 - Fighting Game Gathering! Free TP2010 poster!
Many credits to Dogysamich for helping me put this event together!
Crew Round 2 Georgia is proud to present Tension Pulse, from the team that hosted Tension Pulse 2008, 2009 and the Columbus GA Round 2 Ranbat tournaments!!! It started off as a GGAC only tourney, but has evolved into a multi-fighting game tournament!!! 2009 was the second time ever event with more participants and epicness, but we will still continue to bring this event to the Atlantic South each year, and the bigger/better TP2010 will be the third year running!! It is my dream that we may even throw social events, like a tourney feast and go treat ourselves to a hefty meal, and provide hoodies and other goodies for all of us to enjoy. Tension Pulse 2010 begins soon, so let’s make some noise!
Please submit your name, event(s), if you’re volunteering for providing equipment, and/or volunteering as a judge in order to pre-register.

RULES
[1] All games are Double Elimination --Best 2 out of 3
[2] Food is allowed, but it will have to be what the venue offers. You cannot bring any food inside the venue.
[3] Let’s try to stay organized. In the event that large numbers show, we don’t want to cause confusion nor waste time in this event.
[4] No stealing. I cannot stress this enough. People spend time and money on things that don’t belong to you, so don’t take it.
[5] Don’t create static. We are on public grounds, so fighting outside of virtual reality is against the rules and authorities will be around to make sure nobody is harmed.
[6] No button shouldering, provoke/taunt button “IS” optional.
I will not allow anybody to map buttons otherwise, example, P+K set to a single button.
[7] This is a (B.Y.O.C. = Bring Your Own Controller/converter or Joystick) tournament.
You are responsible for your equipment and we will not supply anyone with a controller or converter at this tournament.
[8] No pausing the game during the tournament for any reason what so ever. If a cell phone rings, you are asked to hold all calls until your match is over or before hand. PLEASE LEAVE ALL PHONE CELL PHONES ON VIBRATE. If your joypad or joystick malfunctions during a tourney, a judge will come to resolve the issue.
[9] Come to this event and make some noise! =D
CONDUCT
Players must conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. Permanent ejection of a player from the tournament is at the staff’s discretion. Any sign of cheating will also result in forfeit of the game. Any intentional forfeiting or conspiring to manipulate the brackets will result in ejection and possible suspension from future tournaments.
On all console tournament games:
This is a (B.Y.O.C. = Bring Your Own Controller/converter or Joystick) tournament for all of the console games. You are responsible for your equipment and we will not supply anyone with a controller or converter at this tournament for any console tournament. You might be able to rent a controller from US Gaming Arena to use during the tournament, but you’ll have to ask that question when you get here.
If you hit the start button or a malfunction in your equipment happens during a match that makes the game pauses or resets during a tournament match get the head judge in charge of running that tournament to decide what will happen next for that match. Replays are automatic if it’s at the beginning of the match and you have played 5-10 seconds in the game with no one having an advantage in the match. It’s not my problem if “YOUR STICK” malfunction’s during a tournament. I WILL BE THE FINAL SAY ON ANY PROBLEMS THAT MY TOURNAMENT JUDGES CAN’T RESOLVE!
I don’t believe in button shouldering due to me growing up playing 2D fighters in the arcades and that I want to prep for SBO. I want to keep the tournaments as close to arcade perfect as I can, so I came up with this solution:
“Button shouldering” is ONLY allowed for SSFIV pad players:
(THAT MEANS IF YOU RESET YOUR BUTTONS YOU MUST PUT THE DEFAULT MULTI-BUTTONS ON BLANK or no function!!!) So that mean you won’t have your 3xkick button, or 3xpunch button. Any default presets that are “NOT” like the arcade set up are “not allowed”. If you don’t have a 3x punch or kick button in the arcade then you won’t use it during the tournament! We are trying to make it as close to arcade type tournament as possible. IT IS HOWEVER LEGAL TO BUTTON SHOULDER FOR SSFIV ONLY IF YOU’RE PLAYING ON A PAD (NOT STICK) AND ONLY FOR SSFIV.
