Inferno 14 - 6/11/10

Orim

As I have been doing constantly for the last little while, I'm announcing another tournament. At least this is another of our tournaments. In fact it's the big one because it's Inferno 14!

We're on the move again, so this month it will be held in Exchange Dublin. It's a great spot in Temple Bar with plenty of room for the tournament and it's across the way from the Porter House for after the tournament.

Doors will open at 10:00 for casuals and registration. The tournament itself will start at 12:00. If you're coming you can let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate you but I can't guarantee anything once the tournament has started.

Despite the move the cost remains the same. It's €5 in, which covers the venue and then it's €10 into the tournament which goes towards prize pot.

1) Cobelcog
2) Bush
3) AnimaX
4) The Hound
5) Kirby
6) D4RK Onion
7) Dreddybajs
8) Azza
9) Doctor Doom
10) Ian McTetly
11) Blag
12) Chunkis
13) GorySnake
14) Redman350
15) Banjo B
16) Orim

As we're moving away from the XGC we need to supply the equipment for this tournament. We're short of what's needed so if you can help out by bringing a console, a monitor or anything let us know in this thread. Thanks.

Prize pot will be split 60/30/10 among the top 3 finishers.
Seeding will not be performed for the first Super Street fighter 4 Tournament.

Format is as follows, a seeded group stage followed by a double elimination stage. Each match in the group stage will consist of 3 games with each game beings best of 3 rounds. The third game of a match in the group stages will only be played in the event of a tie after the second set. If one player wins the first 2 games the third game is not played.

After the group stage is over a draw will take place to determine the first round upper bracket matches of the double elimination stage. Winners of a group will be randomly drawn against the runner ups of other groups. The first round of the lower bracket will also be a random draw from the players who lost in the first round of the upper brackets.

Each match in the double elimination stage will be best of 3 games and each game is best of 3 rounds.

Should we get 64 attendants, the tournament will be run with pools rather than groups. The pools would be 16 man double elims with the top 4 of each pool going through to the top 16. It would be first come first served with the last couple of people having to play in a play-off group(s) to get into pools.

People who arrive after the tournament starts are not guaranteed a place in the tournament but we will try to accommodate them if possible.

1. All characters are selectable.

2. Custom controllers and button configuration is allowed.

3. Turbo is banned. Anyone who is caught using this feature will be disqualified.

4. Players can change characters in each round of the double elimination phase. However once a match has started they may only change characters in a match after loosing a set. The winner of the first set must stick to his character he started the set with and may only change if he looses the second set, in which case the winner of the second set must then stick to the character he used in the second set.

4. Double Blind select available in the event of people being concerned about counter picking. An admin will assist with this if required.

5. Rock, paper, scissors is used in the event of people being unable to agree on which side they want to sit on.

6. In the event of a player pausing a game during a round or his stick/pad fails during a round, he forfeits the round unless both players agree to carry on. If there is a dispute an admin will resolve the dispute.

7. In the event of a game ending in a draw, the game will scrapped and not counted towards the results. It will then be replayed.

7. Players who are overly disruptive during a competition or who are distracting other players can be removed from the tournament at the discretion of the tournament admins.

8. No white track suits please.

Orim

Nearly time for Inferno. Get...Hype?

Speedboat, if you could get for ten and give me a hand with the registration it would be appreciated.

chopperbyrne

I'll be there at ten, hopefully I won't have to run out and buy equipment at the last minute again.

Speed Boat

I'll head down for ten anyways.

Spare pair of hands.

Doctor DooM

I'm gonna be there at 10. Will be trying to make sure the video stuff is as good as it can be. All the last few weeks have been trial runs for this.

Beno, Will we have Internet connectivity at the venue? I ask because if so, you could do a live feed from the setup. Just a thought.

We don't know yet. If we can, I will.

Orim

They do have a wireless connection at the place but I don't know what it will like.

That's a good idea.

I'll be using only Abel Honda Ryu Akuma Cody Gouken Ken Adon.

Icarian

haven't been to one of these meet ups in ages, is it 10 am or pm? why the move from the XGC, you guys don't go there anymore? And 360 or PS3?

chopperbyrne

It is 10am. XGC is just too uncomfortable and cramped for the amount of people we get at tournaments now, but we do still have casuals and smaller tournaments there.

Will be played on both formats.

Kirby

bump for first page. Tbh i'd forgotten about this and when i came to the forums to check, this thread was buried.

Doctor DooM

You're all going down.


Except those who defeat me.


But they don't count.
