++ SFIV teams 3 on 3 is open to EVERYONE - 5 on 5 is Southeast Regional states ONLY
** The T6:BR 5 on 5 team tournament will be a REGIONAL tournament - only players from the same
state/region on a team!
All Capcom and SNK games are Double Elimination -- Best 2 out of 3 matches. You may request Blind Pick.
No matches will be floated beyond the top 16 unless both parties agree with the ruling!
CONDUCT
NO GAMBLING ALLOWED IN THE TOURNAMENT AREA. PERIOD!
Players must conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. Permanent ejection of a player from the tournament is at the staff's discretion. Any sign of cheating will also result in forfeit of the game. Any intentional forfeiting or conspiring to manipulate the brackets will result in ejection and possible suspension from future tournaments.
On all console tournament games:
**NO TURBO BUTTONS ALLOWED FOR ANY GAME!!!**
This is a B.Y.O.C. (Bring Your Own Controller/converter or Joystick) tournament for all of the console games. You are responsible for your equipment and we will not supply anyone with a controller or converter at this tournament for any console tournament. You might be able to rent a controller from Waba Games to use during the tournament, but you'll have to ask that question when you get here.
If you hit the start button or a malfunction in your equipment happens during a match that makes the game pause or reset during a tournament match, get the head judge in charge of running that tournament to decide what will happen next for that match. Replays are automatic if it's at the beginning of the match and you have played 5-10 seconds in the game with no one having an advantage in the match. It's not my problem if YOUR STICK malfunctions during a tournament. I WILL BE THE FINAL SAY ON ANY PROBLEMS THAT MY TOURNAMENT JUDGES CAN'T RESOLVE!
I have had a lot of emails about "button shouldering/mapping" in certain genres of games. I don't believe in them due to growing up playing 2d fighters in the arcades. I want to keep the tournaments as close to arcade perfect as I can, so I came up with this solution:
"Button shouldering" will NOT be allowed in the following games:
All Capcom 2d fighters, and all SNK fighters
Capcom games that are on consoles will have only the following inputs allowed on your controller/joystick and they are:
1. Jab punch = light punch
2. Strong punch = medium punch
3. Fierce punch = hard punch
4. Short kick = light kick
5. Forward kick = medium kick
6. Roundhouse kick = hard punch
7. DEFAULT 3 PUNCHES
8. DEFAULT 3 KICKS
DEFAULT 3-Punches and 3-Kicks ARE allowed in tournament play for SF4 and HD Remix. Any other macros are BANNED and will get you thrown out of the game for
cheating. That means no throw button bound to 1 button (lp+lk), no taunt button (hp+hk), and no focus attack button (mp+mk)
This goes for the following games:
Street Fighter IV
Street Fighter II HD Remix
SNK-Playmore games on console inputs that are allowed:
1. Light punch
2. Heavy punch
3. Light kick
4. Heavy kick
Set all other buttons to UNUSED. This goes for the following games:
The King of Fighters XII
Mark of the Wolves **if we don't play on arcade equipment
Namco games on console inputs that are allowed:
1. Left Punch
2. Right Punch
3. Left Kick
4. Right Kick
Set all other buttons to UNUSED. This goes for the following games:
Tekken 6
Setup Fees:
I need a way to keep up with those that are going to bring a whole set up, so I can keep track of how many free badges I'm handing out at FR13.
That means tv's/system/+whatever game they are going to bring. I need a 10 set up limit for the following games: sf4, t6br, ssbb, ssbm, bb.
The rest of the games played will be 5 set up limit. No set up is needed for motw unless they are going to bring a supergun/arcade cab.
Anyone that is going to bring a set up needs to be at the hotel between NO LATER THAN 8:30am-12noon OF THE DAY OF THE GAME YOU ARE BRINGING!
If you come early, that is great! At 12:01pm the set up deal will be closed unless we need to
use the equipment. A free badge will be given for proving FR13 the use of your equipment.
If you are playing in multiple games, you need to notify a organizer when you are about to play in another game, so they can skip your match on the
brackets and come back to you after you completed the other tournament match.
Also, once the tournament starts, you are responsible for knowing when your next match will come up. If you have to go for a food or bathroom break,
then PLEASE notify the judge at your station that you will be gone for a few minutes. The judge should be able to tell you when your next game
will be and how long you have before your next match up. Just act like you have been to a tournament before people and everything will run smoothly!
Anyone that gets out of line inside or outside of the hotel will force me to call the police on you. Keep that BS online or at home.
I don't care where you keep it just don't bring that drama to FINAL ROUND. Act like you have some home training people! I don't want to break up
any more arguments over dumb stuff!
