Can we enter the raffle if we can't attend on the day?

Really want my hands on one of those Chun Li TEs!

The best option here (imho) is to get someone who is going to put your name in and pay the fiver for you. Can you make such arrangements? I ask because otherwise it'll just make my job harder and I am always against making my life harder

People who register and attend will get free entry for that draw. All other scenarios will cost €5 for entry. There is no limit on the amount of times you want to enter your name and if people who have registered online and do attend want to put their name in more than once, then they can do so on the day for €5 again... and again.... and again.... if so desired.

A name will be drawn randomly for the prize close to the end of the day. I will be putting up a provisional Timetable this week for the day.

I want to reiterate the time constraints we will be under and encourage people to get there on time. I will be unable to wait for people for tourneys if they are late.

Thanks,
Aaron

I am working through the nightmare that is planning the tournament timetables now. There will be no escaping the numbers and what they mean. We will have a set number of consoles, a limited timeframe and an idea (albeit rough) number of participants. we are also running 4 tournaments. This will have the effect that some people will have to play say an MVC match and then immediately be prepared to play a BlazBlue match should there be the need. I will do my best to co-ordinate that this doesn't happen but I will be running the knockout stages of MVC and when they are 1/2 through, I will be starting the pools/groups for SSF4. Similar situation with BB and MK9.

So, in short, we will do our best to plan the tournament to minimise it but people will have to realise that they may have to play a consecutive match in different games if the need arises.

Will groups be seeded?

For SSF4 - yes. For MVC, prob not. I am undecided, or more accurately - don't know, how I will seed them. I am open to suggestion.

I can't use inferno seeding as its not representative of the whole group that will show up so I might losely do it on reputation. The effect this will have will depend on the number of groups and the amount out of each group.

Dwy vs freedom... that'll be an interesting fight.

Dwydwy

Is the BBCS, BBCS 2? With all the DLC Characters? And does MvC3 have it's DLC characters also?

Orim

I'm supplying my console so there will be at least one with DLC characters for Marvel.

Owwmykneecap

Boo to seeding. especially with the balance changes

Kirby

It's needed though. Or else you end up with a group of poor players....and another group with cobelcog hound azza etc.

Dreddybajs

Kneecap if there's one tournament where we should try as hard as possible to make sure the best player wins it's the one where we're sending a player to Evo.

"Boo to seeding"? **** sake.

Owwmykneecap

Just expressing an opinion, anyway isn't double elim supposed to do that job too? How are you going to seed the english guys if they come over?

As far as I can tell, none of the English guys are coming over, at least their good players anyway. They're going to Dreamhack Summer which is the same weekend.

As Dreddy says, this has to be seeded. Double Elim won't prevent a group of death from eliminating a potential winner, while someone who normally wouldn't be near the top of the standings could progress from an easier group.

If a bunch does come over, I would assume they'll be grouped apart (the way all major tournaments do for international players) and if they're of high quality they will be seeded by reputation (again, as the major tournaments do).

ayjayirl

For some clarity. The aim here is to send the best person to Evo from the community. The best way to ensure the fairest outcome for that is to seed the groups/pools. The seeding will use a combination of inferno results for the last year and also reputation for players who maybe haven't played in inferno.

For example, if Daigo shows up (I sent him an invite), then he will be a top seed along with the other top players from inferno. I cannot yet say how many groups there are as I will only know that on the day so I don't yet know the size of the groups/pools and how many people will go through from them. I would suspect though that no matter what group/pool you have, it'll damn hard to get out of it.

I will be as fair as I can in this - I want a good tourney/event, but in the end my decision on any given 'seed' option will be final on the day. Has to be that simple and direct cause this is going to be a busy day and I can't see seeding decisions being contentious......... lets hope I'm not wrong.

@Owwmykneecap - thanks for your opinion and although I know where you are coming from cause no seeding might even mean I get an 'easier' group, (although, given the level of play recently and the people going - Ich don't think so) I think this way is the way to go -> Best player to Evo = Seeding the groups/Pools

ayjayirl

Update: We now have 50 people registered for the event.

The list even contains an MEP!

Neeknak

I definitely have another guy coming with me but due to having another sprogg last week, he hasn't gotten round to registering yet so make that 51.

Also, forgive my dumbassedness but what does MEP stand for?

Hi guys,

I just wanted put a reminder out about the registration page for the Evo Qualifier. It really helps with the planning of the event if everyone who is going registers on the site.

Thanks again,
Aaron

Sairus

I cant entirely recall if I've registered yet. I think I did it at the start when there may or may not have been issues with signups?
Is there anyway to check?
