Players may have up to 10 minutes to report to their assigned setup. If a player is playing in a tournament set for a different game, they will be excused but must report to their designated station immediately after the set's finished


Rules Sets

All tournament sets will be best of 3 rounds. Semi finals and finals are best of 5

[collapse="UMVC3 & SSF4AE"]Preferred console will be XBOX 360. Both games will use standard tournament rules and have latest updates[/collapse][collapse=SSBM]General Rules
  • Stock: 4
  • Time limit: 7 minutes
  • Items: off
  • In the event of a game going to time, a winner will be determined first by most stocks, then by lowest %
  • DSR: A player can't counterpick to a stage he has already won on unless all players in the set agree
  • Wobbling: legal up to 200%

Procedural format
  1. Both players select their character. A double blind can be requested where both players tell a 3rd party their character in secret. The 3rd party will verify that both players will choose the characters they told him
  2. Stage striking will be used to determine the first stage to play on. Both players/teams will strike in ABBA order so that 1 stage remains
  3. Play on the remaining stage
  4. The loser of the previous game picks the next stage to play on
  5. The winner of the previous game may change characters
  6. The loser of the previous game may change characters
  7. Play the next game

Setups

A full setup includes a system (specify which one) and a TV. Players who bring a full setup will have their venue fee waived. We really want to have 2 kinds of areas for setups; 1 for tournament games and the other for friendlies/casuals. The more setups you bring, the better this event will be. Even if you can only bring a PS3 setup that still counts for casuals! People who bring full setups will enter a raffle to win an entire case of Bawls energy drinks

Place holder -- I am the one hosting this. Right now the only thing confirmed is the day/time/place. There will definitely be atleast Melee Singles/Doubles tournament on Feb 4th at the location provided. We are trying to extend the times and see what other games we can fit in. Ideally we'd like to have UMVC3 and SF4AE, but I'm still looking into the demand for that.

Expect an update on this late Friday night.

That was a legit as **** tournament. I got to get 4 stocked by PP. >.> And people screamed "The reality"...

All things considered, ACM Avalanche is going to blow that out of the water ;)

Not all the details are planned out yet, like which console's preferred for Marvel and Street Fighter. If you have any advice, please tell

We are too. I will get a lot done with this in the coming week. Right now we're doing finals at college, so it's hard for me to find time to do a full type up. Epsilon had already posted some stuff about food and the likes, but I had him take it down for the moment.

Right now we're working on sponsorships and incentive for pre-reg. Ideally, I'd like to get the on-campus dining services to sponsor us so that I can give out a "free meal swipe" to those people that pre-reg as an incentive. However, it's just in the works for the moment.

Aside from that I plan to have a live stream with commentary. The one person I'd really like to get up here is Yayz, since I love his commentary at locals. Epsilon, as always, will be recording.

Once I get some more details about parking and driving typed up I'm going to post them and really try to push this. My "goal" for this tournament is to get PP here =D and a good crowd for UMVC and SF4AE

I have always wanted to play sange....
Also to clarify, I won't be entering any of the brackets. It's a tight time frame we're on and I will be full-time TOing. I take pride in my leadership, and hope to bring that to Avalanche.

I'd love to play friendlies during downtimes though =D Breaks and such.

Maybe he will make a surprise appearance. 3.5 hours is a pretty long drive for a small tourney tho. If it ends up looking like there will be a decent turn out then I might come regardless of Peepee's attendance. I guess as long as my winnings cover the trip then I'll probably come hahaha. Sounds bad, but yea.

Already we have atleast 15 people committed to the event. That is without preregistration, and without that much hype. The thing is, PP traveled for Crimson's bi-weekly. If people are willing to travel farther for that, they should be very excited to come to this.

Two projectors, plenty of space, can hold 75+ easily (and I don't mean sweaty smell everyone space, either... I mean comfortable), right near food, plenty of parking, near a major interstate.

All we need is for a few high level players to commit and spread hype. If you can talk Polecat (sp?) into coming, bring your Richmond crew, etc.... NC will easily do the same. What we need on this thread isn't soft commitments -- we need hype.

The Avalanche is coming, son.
