    A season of KOF XIII ranking battles will commence in Belfast on February 4th. A few details are still TBC, but they will be run along mostly the same lines as the SSF4AE ranbats Roogle ran last year.

    - There will be six sessions, two or three weeks apart from each other, depending on clashes with other events.
    - The DLC characters (EX Kyo, EX Iori, Mr. Karate) will probably be available.
    - Points will be distributed as follows:
    1st: 10
    2nd: 6
    3rd: 4
    4th: 3
    =5th: 2 each
    =7th: 1 each
    - The tournament format will probably be double elimination brackets all the way through, run using Challonge.
    - All matches will be decided by the best two out of three games.
    - In the grand final, the player who came from the loser's bracket must win an extra set.
    - Entry will be free.
    - Get hype!

    Quick update: the next Slayers24 will probably take place on the 4th-5th of February. If so, I might move the start time back by an hour or so.

    Yep. Posted long before Inferno was confirmed though.

    Has there been much interest in this? I've spoken to quite a few people around DS who said they were really impressed by the game, but I haven't seen any of them actually play it. :pac:

    Some more updates:

    - Right now we're looking at two setups, at least one of which will have the DLC characters (thanks, SirAuronDX).
    - The format will still be double elimination all the way through, but instead of Challonge I will be following Day of Champions' lead and using Tournament Maker 2.1.
    - Since there will indeed be a Slayers24 on the weekend of the 4th (and therefore we will literally have all day to complete the tournament), the tournament will now probably start at 3pm. I say probably, because I am considering starting at 9pm or so to give people time to get here after Inferno, but if no-one is interested in attending both (or if Inferno simply isn't going to end in time) it will be a 3pm start.
    - Here's the provisional schedule for the season:
    Session 1: Feb 4th
    Session 2: Feb 18th
    Session 3: Mar 10th
    Session 4: Mar 24th (CXC4 side event)
    Session 5: Apr 14th
    Session 6: Apr 28th
