BOARDS.IE STREET FIGHTER 4 TOURNAMENT-FIXTURES AND RESULTS
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE PLAYING THIS TOURNAMENT


TIMEFRAME
The league competition starts now! ALL league fixtures shoul be completed by May 16th 2009. When inviting another player to a boards match please state "Boards Tournament" in the invite!

GENERAL
To set up a game, go to Player Match, then Create Game and then set Private Slots to Yes and Number of players to 2. Then once the lobby is set up, invite the player from your friends list.

I was going to post fixtures, but with only 5 match-ups each in the group stage, I do not feel it is necessary. Just get online and start playing!

The only think I ask of everyone is to complete their fixtures. People who get bored and quit ruin leagues so please commit yourself!

There is a vast difference between the skill of some players. If you find youself getting beaten heavily, do not give up. learn from the experience and you will become a better player.

When you finish a match-up between players, post the names and gamertags of both players along with the name of your group ye are in.


RULES
1) Each group has 6 players. Each participant plays every other person in their group once. Therefore, each participant has 5 match-ups.

2) Each match-up consists of a total of 13 games. All 13 games must be played, even if one opponent has reached the number of games required to win the match-up (7). The game will use standard rules...best of 3 rounds, 99 timer. You may pick a new character each game.

3) When a player wins a match-up, they get 3 points. When a player loses a match-up they get 0 points. The difference between the number of wins and the number of losses within the match-up serves as a "goal difference" and will be used to break any tie-breakers at the end of the group stages between more than 3 players. If only 2 players are even on points at the end of the group stage, then the person who won the initial match-up between these players goes through.

4) The top 4 players from each group will advance to the knockout stages. These 16 players will be assigned a seed and the knockouts will pit 1st seed vs 16th seed, 15th v 2nd seed etc. The following number of games will be played at each round

Last 16 Round: First to 7
Quarter Finals: First to 9
Semi Finals: First to 11
Finals First to 13

The bottom 2 players in each group will compete in a Shield Competition with teh following games

Quarter Finals: First to 9
Semi Finals: First to 11
Finals First to 13

5) Please, no taunting. I don't expect this to be a problem with anyone here anyways, but I'd rather set it in stone.

6) No quitting


Note: Since we had 25 applicants and 24 places, I have decided to drop out from the event to make an even number. I also feel that it would be better to close the applications for this tournament so things are consistent.

We'll call the result above an imagined prequalifier...gg Although having seen the replay of your C. Viper, I wouldn't doubt that result...oh by the way you're barred from playing her jk.

Just for the spirit of competition really - I'm saying it now; You, Garak and Sagat would be 3 of the final 4!

Where as now it'l be yourself and sagat as the ones to beat! Watched your uploaded replay of Viper v Rufus, nice stuff

EDIT: FutureGuy also mentioned the replay...

Haha, couldn't you just wait for somebody else to join to tourney so that you can still play?

Didn't you love the replay?

A-Trak

Fair play Futureguy,

I've sent friend requests to all in group D - good luck chaps!

I have been running gaming tournaments for most of my life and there comes a time when the organiser has to drop for the benefit of the event he/she is running. 24 is a nice number and if I start adding more, then the number of players that would qualify from each group would alter mid-tournament and I hate that.

So go and have fun everyone

Cammy sucks. I won't be using her, ever again.

Viper is where it's at and occasionally Chun.

Bloody hell!! I'm also glad I don't have to deal with that in the opening rounds!

Jim

Added everyone I think. Should be on today and tomorrow for games.

James Howlett

Oh man. I had a look at some of your gamer profiles.
This is gonna be tough.

Any chance we can have a ban on Ken? Or at least turn our noses up at such a player? jk

Davey909

Ken is too crappy to even consider banning him.
