    Inferno will once again be held at Exchange Dublin on Saturday the 1st of October.

    Doors open at 10:00, registration will begin at 11:00 and close at 12:30. The tournament itself will start at 13:00. We should be finished up around 18:00.

    Entry fee: 15 euro (10 euro goes to prize pool, 5 to venue rental/equipment expenses)


    The format is groups into a top 16 double elimination bracket. All matches played are best of 3 in groups and in the top 16 bracket. We’ll be running on 360. Seeding is based on the last 3 tournament results. Please bring your own controller/converter!

    Tournament Rules and Format
    Prize pot will be split 60/30/10 among the top 3 finishers.

    Format is as follows, a seeded group stage followed by a double elimination stage. Each match in the group stage will consist of 3 sets with each set beings best of 3 rounds. The third set 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 sets the third set 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 sets and each set is best of 3 rounds.

    People who arrive after the tournament starts are not garunteed a place in the tournament but we will try to acommodate 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. 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. Blanka Alt 3 is banned.

    9. No white track suits please.

    Why is blanka alt 3 banned?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,006 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    No
    It's physically distracting and makes it harder to space against Blanka.

    Don't see any reason I can't make this.

    AJ is incorrect, he's busy that weekend too. I'm afraid it's looking like another unrecorded inferno from this end :(

    Hopefully Ladno can record some matches, he's an impressively stealthy and mobile recorder. I thought his camera was abandoned for most of Inferno XIX, but it was just cleverly set up to record the bracket matches without interference from the participants' bodies.

    Are there any photographers left in the scene/ attending this Inferno?

    It would be nice to have some pictures to pepper into the writeup.
