SRK is being weird and I cannot edit the first post at the moment (or awhile ago).
There are casuals today (2/12/13) from 6-11:30pm in Emerald Bay B (first floor) at the UCI Student Center. Map and everything is in the first post as usual.
Sorry about the late update.
How much is it to enter the Ranbat that’s starting Feb. 23rd for each game?<br>And where is the best place to park during these times? (Preferably somewhere for free)<br>

It’s 10 dollars to park all day at the parking structure. Next to the structure (connected by the bridge) is a large plaza, University Town Center (UTC).

Tournament @ March 10th, 2013
Our second ranbat (ranking battle) tournament of the year. Format is Double Elimination for all games.
As always, Venue fee is $3 and entry fee is $5 per game, which goes towards the pot for its respective game. Your venue fee can be waived if you provide a full set-up (console with game(s) and monitor - preferably ASUS). If you are willing to provide a set-up, then you understand that FG@UCI will need to borrow your setup all day. You don’t have to be there all day if you don’t want to enter all games. If you’d like to provide one, please message Darryl and we’ll discuss details. There is a limit to how many people can get their venue fee waived though, so first come first served.
There will be a maximum amount of entrants per game. So if you are interested in playing in a particular game, then please make sure to arrive at the venue on time or earlier to sign up. Below is the schedule for the tournament. This is not going to be our regular schedule. We were a bit late in reserving rooms, so we didn’t get the allotted time we were looking for. We hope future ranbats will start earlier.
12:00pm-2:30pm - Signups / Casuals / Warm-up
2:30pm-5:30pm - Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition 2012
5:30pm-8:00pm - King of Fighters XIII
8:00pm-11:00pm - Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
SSFIVAE2012 32 man cap
KOFXIII 16 man cap
UMvC3 32 man cap
We’ve adopted the standard rule set below for each game.
SSFIVAE2012
KOFXIII
UMvC3
Pot payout will be 70/30 to first and second, respectively. Ranbat points will be distributed as follows:
1st - 8 pts
2nd - 6 pts
3rd - 4 pts
4th - 3 pts
5th - 2 pts
7th - 1 pt
Your placing in one ranbat will also help determine seeding in the next.
You may have noticed there are only 3 games featured. Where’s the 4th game, you might be asking? We have decided that the 4th game needs to earn its spot. Whether it be SFxT or P4A or even Melee, we need to see the players that want these games here. So during the first ranbat, all day, we are going to do side tournaments for any game that you guys wish to be the 4th game. The stipulation is that you must bring the set-up for said game. For instance, if you desire Melee to be the 4th ranbat game, then you must bring a Melee set-up and galvanize Melee players to come. This applies to all games, whether it’s MK9, Skullgirls, SCV, Shaq Fu, or what have you. We’ll use this ranbat and the next to determine the game. Then whatever game wins will still have a 6 game season, and we’ll determine a season prize for it as well.
If there are any questions, suggestions, or comments, then post here or message us and we’ll address them as soon as possible.
No session 3/12. Resuming 3/19.

Persona 4 Arena has won its place as the 4th game at our ranbat. This will be the first game in the series for points. As far as scheduling goes, I believe they will be running themselves on the side with their own stream, so the schedule is up to them. I will update when I receive more info.

Ranbat 1.7 Finale 6.9.13
VENUE FEE!
We’re implementing a new venue fee system to encourage our players to be punctual. Venue fees will be broken down into three tiers:
Early Bird
Regular
Late
Fees will be $1, $3, and $5 respectively.
To be considered an Early Bird, you must register for your games before the hour prior to the start of the tournament you wish to enter. (e.g., if UMvC3 starts at 8:00PM, then you must have registered before 7:00pm to be considered an Early Bird)
If you miss the Early Bird registration, then you can still be pay Regular fee if you register at least 10 minutes prior to the start of tournament you wish to enter. (e.g., if UMvC3 starts at 8:00pm, you must register between 7:00pm-7:50pm to be considered Regular)
Late registration fees will be applied to players arriving 10 minutes prior to the start of the tournament. This is because during this time, we are busy making brackets. Every time a player registers around this time, or we get a message saying “Player A is on his way. Can you please delay the tournament an extra five minutes?” - things like
this causes delays all around. It means less time for us to break down the room when the tournament is over; less time for casual play after the event; more time players have to stay in the venue than they initially desired - we’re trying to get things going, people. We shouldn’t really be emphasizing this point; you guys know what happens
when you arrive late to your appointment, job, or exam, right? So, we’re going to tax you if you arrive late. We’re going to keep taxing you until you learn.
STICK RENTAL!
As you all know, we’re just a lowly student organization at UCI. We’re not making it rain like other organizations or companies. As such, our console selection has very little to do with preference, and more to do with what our community has to offer. So sometimes we have more 360 setups than PS3, and vice versa.
We understand that a lot of our players only own a stick or pad that works on a single console - that’s totally fine. It’s sometimes difficult to justify the purchase of a separate stick or controller for a console you don’t normally play on, especially when money is tight. For you players, let us know ahead of time which console you prefer to play on due to your peripheral so we can accommodate you.
But what we don’t understand are players that DO OWN a multi-console-compatible stick or converter, yet conveniently leave their peripheral at home and always borrows someone else’s stick or controller during the tournament. This impedes things tremendously; it’s just as detrimental to our schedule as arriving late, as these
players typically wait until their friend is done playing so they can borrow their stick and play their next tournament match.
As such, we’re going to implement a stick rental system, hopefully in time for our next ranbat. There will be a $2 fee for using our sticks. We’re not doing this to nickel and dime you all. This stick rental is meant to penalize players that don’t bring their own equipment.
Here’s how it’ll work. If you don’t have a stick, and we call your match, then you will be forced to either borrow a stick IMMEDIATELY or rent ours. Now before you go around thinking you’re good to go by borrowing other sticks, bear in mind that if you borrow a stick from Person A, and then we call Person A’s match, we will force Player A to rent a stick. So don’t be that douche bag. If you’re used to your own stick and don’t want to risk renting ours, then don’t loan out your stick. As a community, we need to teach people to bring their own equipment and be responsible. $2 is hardly a crushing penalty, but I hope its enough to teach people the responsibility of bringing your own stick.
P4A!
Persona 4 Arena has now officially become the 4th game of The Hongry Games Ranbat. That means that for the remaining of the Ranbat season, P4A player will also be placed in a standing depending on their placing, and the overall winner of the Rabat will receive a prize (TBD).
