Hello Game Fans, Sanji Himura here preparing to invade Dallas yet again for the Fort Worth Classic tournament special.
Date: TBA(planning on April 11th)
Venue: Officially, TBA I am about to negotiate on using the AnimeFEST clubhouse for the event. The clubhouse is located at 160 Business Parkway in Richardson, TX If you want to punch it in on Google.
Registration info: This tournament has the potential to go very long, however, I do have a strict schedule to keep seeing as I have to be out of there and back in Fort Worth by about 10 PM, so Registration will begin at 12 PM sharp and the first matches will be underway at 2 PM sharp. This will ensure that I will move the tournament along far enough so that it can finish without my being there. I will appoint someone to fill in the role of Tournament Director in my absence at the tournament.
Fees: Free, but pre registration is REQUIRED! Just do what Shinblanka would have you to do and reply with your pre-reg.
A complete set up equals a TV, a game console with a tournament game(s) and a surge protector/extention cord.
The Games:
Street Fighter 4
HD Remix
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
And if we have time, KOF 98
Prizes are TBA.
The Rules:
General Rules:
-
Tournament format for all tournaments is double elimination, unless time doesn?t allow, or the number of registrations number less than seven. If time doesn?t allow at the start of the tournament, the format will be ?EVO style? elimination, if the number of people is less than seven, the format will be round robin.
-
Prizes for each game will be distributed immediately following the game at hand.
-
A match for all tournaments is best 2 out of 3 games, both the winner and losers finals are best of 5 games and the Grand Finals are best of 7 games(unless specified).
-
I?m all for casuals, but you must register BEFORE you play.
-
Any grievous misconduct will result in you being removed from the premises without a refund and any prize money that is won surrendered. This includes, but not limited to, drinking, smoking(in building), gambling on matches(unless it is an officially sanctioned Money Match and only then will it be between the participants involved), and disrespecting and arguing with staff(for both The Classic and the venue).
-
Hardware macros are strictly prohibited. You may only use the macros that are available in the in-screen configuration menu. 3x punch and 3x kick options or any other similar options are not allowed.
-
An accidental pause of the game may result in forfeiture of the round at the judge?s digression.
-
You must bring your own controller for any console that the game is played on. Converters may or may not be provided to those who needs them(i.e: PS2 to DC and PS2 to PS3). If you wish to play pad, you MUST use the console default or an officially licensed controller. USB cables must be used on PS3 controllers. Even though Wii will be used for Smash, you MUST use Gamecube controllers.
-
Wireless controllers are strictly forbidden. If you bring one, it will be seized by the tournament director and a corded controller will be provided in its place. Return of the controller will happen if you return the controller that was provided. Wavebirds are not exempt from this rule.
-
There is zero tolerance for theft. If caught stealing, a police report will be filed with the proper authorities, and will be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.
-
Double Blind selection may be called by the judge for any reason and any game may be replayed at the tournament director?s digression, even if it was the last game in a match.
-
Equipment failures are subject to a three person panel that will consist of the Tournament Director, the head judge, and one person deemed an expert in the game at hand, using EVO standards as a guideline. If the equipment failure was reported by a player, and the panel ruled against him, the match is forfeited. Judges can report equipment failures on behalf of the player. If the panel rules for the player, the equipment is ordered to be replaced with a padded controller and the match is ordered to be replayed with the same characters and settings. Regardless of what the panel rules, if the judge convenes the panel for the player, the match is ordered to be replayed with the same characters and settings.
-
Rules violations must be reported the instant the violation is made(within reasonable standards). The Classic will use the yellow card system when issuing rule violation penalties(Yellow card will forfeit the match and a red card will disqualify you). If a player falsely(or ignorantly) reports a rule violation, then they will be issued a yellow card. You will have a clean slate for each tournament.
-
In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be decided by coin flip supervised by either a judge or the tournament director. The winner will have first pick of the ports.
-
Any attempt to circumvent the rules by a player(s) is grounds to remove you from the premises with out a refund and you will be banned from any future Fort Worth Classic Event.
