| _____________Game_____________ | | |

NOTES (to be updated frequently)
General:
- There will be an info desk that will display eGaming's information, whether it's tournament rules, general rules and guidelines, or other questions about gaming.
- Bring Your Own Controller Policy: It is highly suggested that you bring your own controller for tournaments. For Free Play use, we will allow it to a certain extent.
- Do NOT take equipment that does NOT belong to you! While FanimeCon supports the fans, we oppose theft.
- Please treat the equipment with professional respect.
- If people are waiting to play, please show respect others to play the game too. The potential exception is if we have a versus-based game available (excluding music games), in which winner can stay and loser gives away his/her spot.
- You may customize some game options. However, it isn't recommended.
- Customizing console settings is strictly prohibited.
- Attaching non-controller devices like storage devices is strictly prohibited.
- To respect the arcade's services provided for FanimeCon, we will not unless it's used for tournaments only (example: Street Fighter IV). See the list of arcades for more details (click here). (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,12426.0.html)
- Follow con etiquette! Yes, this includes showering, brushing your teeth, washing your hands after certain events, and so forth.
- FOOD, DRINKS, OR ANY LIQUIDS IN BOTTLES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED NEAR EGAMING!!! We are VERY STRICT on this policy.
- For more information on the rules, please click on the tournament links above.
Entry Cap information:
- 128 Entrants for most tournaments in single-elimination.
- 32 Entrants, if double-elimination exists.
- Rock, Paper, Scissors is undefined. Game goes very fast!!
- Rock Band 2 (Freestyle) is undefined. It varies on band entries and Stage Zero's scheduling.
- Guitar Hero, DDR, and Beatmania IIDX are undefined. There will be a qualifier to determine who enters the bracket.
Tournament Registration Policies (IMPORTANT!!):
- Tournament registration for ALL tournaments (EXCEPT BlazBlue, see below) start on Friday @ 10 AM at the eGaming station.
- All game tournaments are first-come first serve. Please register early.
- In case specific tournament slots are filled, there will be a reserve list. While we cannot guarantee a spot, please show up still!
- Check in begins 1 hour before the tournament and ends 15 minutes before the tournament starts. You MUST be present at those times, EVEN if you are on the possible waiting list!! If your name is called and you don't show up, expect to be axed out of the tournament; others on the waiting list WILL replace you. In other words, if ya snooze, ya lose.
- Stay in line! There will be multiple registration staffers to assist you. You can sign up for more than one tournament. If you are that hardcore, you can sign up for all the tournaments if you wish, but think carefully.
- You can only go the line station only once. Once you register for your tournaments, that's it. No more going back in line, so think carefully.
- Don't be a bonehead and simply sign up for every tournament you feel interested in signing up for just to secure a spot and then later NOT show up. We know who you are, so don't even dare pull that!!!.
- During the tournament, do NOT leave!!! If it's an emergency such as a potty break or participating in another tournament, LET THE TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER AND STAFFER KNOW. If you show up late, expect a forfeit.
- Cutting in line is prohibited. If you are caught cutting in line, you will be sent to the back of the line.
- Once you leave the line for any reason, you can't go back to your spot.
- Signing up other people in tournaments is prohibited. Singles tournaments are no exceptions at all. However, team tournaments may be an exception to "signing up other people" rule. I suspect that everyone in the team show up. Otherwise, good luck competing against the opposing team for Halo 3 or Left 4 Dead or good luck trying to find a replacement for Rock Band Freestyle.
Specific Games:
- Rock Band Freestyle will be held at Stage Zero.
- There are 2 types of Super Smash Bros Brawl tournaments: FUBAR (item usage free-for-all) and No-Items (standardized gameplay from the Smash Community).
- DDR Extreme 2 will use RedOctane afterburner hard pads.
- To compete in the Pokemon tournament, you must have your own legit Pokemon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum game and your own Nintendo DS. We will not provide you with a DS nor a game. Bootlegged ROMs will not be accepted.
- BlazBlue tournament will be ran by AkSys Games. Though it is listed in eGaming's schedule, it is not a part of of eGaming.
If you have any questions, feel free to post. If it's tournament-related, feel free to post on the appropriate threads or this one or PM the tournament organizers (usually the poster of the rules). If it's private, please PM Richard (head), me (co-head), or JTChinoy and we'll see what we can do. Thanks.

RPS Tourney, HELL YEAH!
Screw everything else, add me to rock paper scissors jt.
And damn, not enough time to get good at Unlimited Codes...~_~;
i think i'll enter the DDR tourny! if my buddies are running it, i have to attend. brings back old memories. ^-^
cross post from the facebook event:
How do I preregister?
Due to the overwhelmingly lacking turnout of people who pre-registered last year, we've decided for the time being to not hold pre-registration.
After reading David Sirlin's book Playing to Win, I'm confident in my yomi (the Japanese word for reading the mind of your opponent) to win RPS.
What's the policy on BYOC this year? Cause I sure as hell can't do anything on pad. I figure this will be a global decision, so I ask now as opposed to waiting for individual tourney rules.
Blast, the tourneys that I might've interested in are being held at times where I won't be there
Friday: 3rd Strike - Prolly won't get there on time since I'm heading straight from work at 4pm (unless by some sort of miracle I get to leave early or get the day off [*cough*notbloodylikely*cough*]
Saturday: SF4 - Masquerade
Oh well, at least there are other games to play over in the game room.
We're looking into rescheduling SF4. Sit tight, you might get to play in it after all. ;)
Current policy, to my knowledge, will be the same as last year; BYOC or you can rent equipment from us.
Due to scheduling conflicts and other issues, there will be changes to the schedule. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Tournament rulesets should be up soon. eGaming policies should be up soon as well.
Stay tuned. :D
PLease don't tell me we will be split-screening the shooters...

I have my own little secret...teheh.. ^_~
RPS secret to winning - Avalanche. :)
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Tournament rules:
1v1, 6 pokemon format
No Uber tier Pokemon allowed
Species clause (No more than 1 copy of a single pokemon species per team. Variations of the same pokemon are no exception.)
Evasion ban (Moves that increase your evasion are not allowed: Double Team and Minimize)
Sleep clause (You may not put more than 1 of your opponent's pokemon to sleep at a time. If they use rest on one or more of their pokemon, you can still put 1 of their pokemon to sleep)
Freeze clause (Although there's no way to enforce this mid game, you're not allowed to freeze more than 1 of your opponent's pokemon)
OHKO ban (straight forward, no OHKO moves like Guillotine, Fissure, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold)
We will likely use self-KO clause (If you use Explosion or Self-destruct with your last pokemon to KO your opponent's, you lose. Destiny Bond will not give you the win if this results in both players losing all of their pokemon.)
Event moves are allowed, but keep in mind that we know what pokemon can get what moves.
No R4 or other emulators allowed, real copies of Pokemon only.
No hacked or edited Pokemon.
No changing teams in between matches; you must use the team that you present to us.
You must present your team at the time of registration for inspection. If known to you, please present IVs and EVs with your team.
We will have IV calculators on us and we will be well informed on the legal movesets of most, if not all, Pokemon.
Please arrive at least 1 hour prior to the official start time. We would like ample time to inspect everyone's teams.
Prize: To be revealed
Rotom alternate forms are banned from this tournament.
We will be using the Smogon.com rulings on which pokemon are uber/OU/UU/NU as of this edit. Further smogon rulings will be ignored for Fanime.
UBER Pokemon:
Arceus
Darkrai
Deoxys
Deoxys-A
Deoxys-D
Deoxys-S
Dialga
Garchomp
Giratina
Groudon
Ho-oh
Kyogre
Latios
Lugia
Manaphy
Mew
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Wobbuffet
Wynaut
If it's not on this list, it's allowed for the tournament. There is a Soul Dew ban for those using Latias.
Will there be preregistration at the convention? Or is preregistration eliminated entirely?
Quote from: hamm on April 05, 2009, 07:55:04 PM

Currently, we may eliminate pre-registration immediately. As mentioned, reason being the lack of pre-regged people not showing up on time as expected. We'll give a major announcement soon.
Hey, I had a few questions about the Pokemon tournament. First of all, I think there should be better clarification on the tier system. For instance, currently, Garchomp is considered Uber, while Latias is considered OU, and Manaphy is currently being tested as well. I think for the benefit of the participants, a tier lock should be implemented so that we can start building our teams right now, without worrying about future changes to the Ubers list right before Fanime.
I guess that was more of a suggestion than a question, but my second (and real) question is where and when should I register to join in on this tournament?
Register on Friday or Saturday before the tournament. I'll clarify the OU/ UU list (Manaphy will not participate in this tournament) as well as what these clauses are soon. I'll edit the above post rather than create a new post.
OK, so since I won't be getting there until late Friday, I'm worried about being screwed over for the tournaments as far as entrance is concerned. Anything I can do?
If you're planning to enter Saturday and Sunday tournaments, just drop by after you're checked in and sign up. Sign ups will be going on from Friday all the way until roughly an hour prior to the starting times.
You should be fine if you're coming Friday.
Edited Pokemon tournament post to include descriptions of the rules and an explicit list of the banned pokemon.
Perfect list of rules, thank you. Time to start breeding, and maybe even looking for good natured/IV'd legendaries to trade.
Yeah, I need to create a pair of pokes to kill some specific pains in my butt =)
I have a question for the Halo 3 tournament, for the one on Sunday do you have to form your own team before or are you assigned to one when you sign up?
You're expected to form your own team. About assigning you a group, I'll let the people running it reply.
Quote from: JTchinoy on April 06, 2009, 05:17:58 PM

You won't be assigned to a group if this tournament is run any way realistically. That would require them to take sign ups of empty teams and then assign people. YOU CAN form groups with other people that don't have teams there that are bound to show up.
Just show up if you want to enter, find others that don't have a team, and make a team. Chances are, you will lose, because your team and you have no clue about each other, how the others play, and will most likely die to a team that knows each other and knows how to communicate.
But, it's all in good fun, right?
I don't know how many people in this thread will recognize/remember me, but I am Ming-Sum (Miki) and I talked to a few of the people from the Gaming department at the last meeting.
How long do you guys think the IIDX tournament will take? How many songs will be played before someone is officially out? I might have to be at the BWBall at 6, so hopefully it won't take long.
Also, I'll be practicing for the RPS tournament. I suggest all of you who wishes to enter do so as well :|

I would hate to be assigned to a team. That would just be annoying. Really, really annoying.
I assume that you may be assigned to a team if both you and the team has an opening, but it would also be assumed that people could sign up as a team of 4.
Otherwise i would have no plans to play. Well I'd actually probably still end up playing, but it would be far less fun.

I could never work with a Anti-Pockyist.
But in all seriousness, if I'm forced to be assigned, I would ofcourse someone who I know at the very least, no matter how little.
Just get a team of your friends together. Can't be that hard :P

For the 4v4 and 2v2 you may sighn up with your own team of friends. But if you don't have anyone to play with then you will be put on a seperate list and be setup with a team.
Also the tournament may have to be split screen due to the number of 360's we will have. Some of the 360s avaiable to us don't have any of the dlc that we will be useing. The most we will have on a screen will be 2 for tournaments. I will be posting the rules soon. :)

Well as a competative player, I do support BR as starting. If you must have secondary AR so be it, but without BR starting games can quickly get locked by the team with power weapons or with BRs themselves. Not a nice situation.

Just ask Wendell, I don't think he'd mind, only hard part is setting up the systems and if the projector would have lag or not.
For Rock Band, is it bring your own band? Or just hope that other people want to play with you?

SF4 finals should be on Stage Zero imo.
Based on the schedules, Stage Zero would be booked around that time.
;D I know you guys have a tourny for Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm for the ps3. Could you guys please have a tournament for Naruto Ultimate Ninja 4? The game just came out here in the US recently and I'm really sure a lot of people would enter. Heck I have about 6-7 people that will be signing up if you have it.

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum Tournament rules:
1v1, 6 pokemon format
No Uber tier Pokemon allowed
Species clause (No more than 1 copy of a single pokemon species per team. Variations of the same pokemon are no exception.)
Evasion ban (Moves that increase your evasion are not allowed: Double Team and Minimize)
Sleep clause (You may not put more than 1 of your opponent's pokemon to sleep at a time. If they use rest on one or more of their pokemon, you can still put 1 of their pokemon to sleep)
Freeze clause (Although there's no way to enforce this mid game, you're not allowed to freeze more than 1 of your opponent's pokemon)
OHKO ban (straight forward, no OHKO moves like Guillotine, Fissure, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold)
We will likely use self-KO clause (If you use Explosion or Self-destruct with your last pokemon to KO your opponent's, you lose. Destiny Bond will not give you the win if this results in both players losing all of their pokemon.)
Event moves are allowed, but keep in mind that we know what pokemon can get what moves.
No R4 or other emulators allowed, real copies of Pokemon only.
No hacked or edited Pokemon.
No changing teams in between matches; you must use the team that you present to us.
You must present your team at the time of registration for inspection. If known to you, please present IVs and EVs with your team.
We will have IV calculators on us and we will be well informed on the legal movesets of most, if not all, Pokemon.
Please arrive at least 1 hour prior to the official start time. We would like ample time to inspect everyone's teams.
Prize: To be revealed
edit::
Please keep in mind that until Nintendo officially releases the Rotom secret key, Rotom alternate forms are banned from this tournament.
We will be using the Smogon.com rulings on which pokemon are uber/OU/UU/NU as of this edit. Further smogon rulings will be ignored for Fanime.
UBER Pokemon:
Arceus
Darkrai
Deoxys
Deoxys-A
Deoxys-D
Deoxys-S
Dialga
Garchomp
Giratina
Groudon
Ho-oh
Kyogre
Latios
Lugia
Manaphy
Mew
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Wobbuffet
Wynaut
If it's not on this list, it's allowed for the tournament. There is a Soul Dew ban for those using Latias.
I am wondering, is there a Ban on Event Pokemon?
No. Unless it's an event version of one of the Uber pokemon listed.
Shaymin can't be used in sky form when fighting anything besides another platinum, so I'm not concerned.
Cool, cool.

Indeed.
The chances of finding a legit, non-hacked/cloned Wish Bliss are, well, there are a lot of zeros...
I personally hold nothing against clones. hacks are a different story.
a clone of a legit pokemon is technically a legit pokemon.
Well as long as everything falls into place as being legal, then I'm okay with it.
Except Pokemon with 31 IVs in each stat, which while technically legal are obviously hacked.

Yeah, I tried getting my hands on a legit Bold or Calm Wish Bliss for about 3 months relentlessly, and have nothing to show for it. This was about a year ago.
On a side note, I've been pretty successful breeding so far. 2 of my team with 31's in important stats, and above 20 in the rest ^_^. Only 4 to go. Also, I bred a Chansey in Emerald with 31's in HP, DEF and SP.DEF, and 27 in SP.ATK and like 23 or something in SPEED if someone wants a copy. Cloning is easy in Emerald, so I have infinite. Got Aromatherapy and SToss on it too IIRC ^_^. I probably won't be using one for my team, but just thought I'd be friendly about it and trade if someone needs it. Bold, of course, but no Wish... also of course.
Also, I don't know if any of you have heard, but people have found a way to manipulate the RNG inside Platinum so that you can hatch near perfect IV Pokemon. This is all using the built-in game mechanics, so I was wondering if these Pokemon would be allowed in the tournament. Though, honestly, there would be no way to distinguish between one of these Pokemon and a legitly hatched egg, because it is all done using what's in the game, and no hacking device.
If you people seriously have the time to do any sort of catching/ breeding to get perfect IVs, be my guest.
I, for one, can barely breed a pokemon with the proper nature and decent IVs (high teens to 30 in 1 or 2 stats), let alone use some glitch to create exceptional yet legit pokemon.
If I entered the tournament, there's no way I could compete with people who put that much time into the game.
I might want one of them Chanseys you have. Make my life easier. I plan to have a Reg Bliss for back up on my Wish Bliss in case I can't or don't want to use it for some reason, assuming I find a Wish Bliss. As long as its not a Lv100: I do want to do some customization on the EVs of course.
I have never IV trained, and have only EV trained once. Sense I want to play in tournaments a little bit now I plan to.
Now to train my Shroomish/Breloom.

For the uninformed, is it just time or is it also luck?
A lot of both I'd say?
Even if you have the right nature on the mother and good IVs on your parent pokemon, you have to keep going to get that right nature (50/50 if the mom has an everstone), and the right IVs (you have no control over this beyond using strong parents), and the right ability (not in your control either if it's a species that can have 2 different abilities).
It took me 70 bronzor eggs to get the right nature and ability, but its IVs aren't very good.
It did, however, only take me 5 machop eggs to get the right nature, decent IVs, and right ability.
So yeah, luck has a lot to do with it. Even if you know all the ridiculous hidden equations to increase your probability of getting what you want, you have to keep running those equations through breeding and catching until the equation gives you everything you're looking for.
You guys are aware you will probably only get 3 people for FUC and TVC, right?
;D I'm definitely entering TvC and two of my friends are too. There was a TvC tourny in concord last month that had about 14 people in it. so if it's free to enter there should be at least that amount of people in it :-\ .
Said this before but it seems no one responded to it so. "I know you guys have a tourny for Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm for the ps3. Could you guys please have a tournament for Naruto Ultimate Ninja 4? The game just came out here in the US recently and I'm really sure a lot of people would enter. Heck I have about 6-7 people that will be signing up if you have it."
Super Smash Bros. Brawl FUBAR Tournament "Rules"
1v1v1v1 Free-for-all format
5 stock
10 minutes
Single elimination
All Items on
Nothing is banned.
Stage choice should be random or agreed upon by all 4 players.
No seeding. I don't care if you're Barack Obama, you will be placed randomly.
If you're looking for a competitive and fair tournament, this one is NOT for you. This tournament is for competitive and casual players alike. It is for chaos, randomness, upsets, and everything else that shouldn't be in a balanced tournament. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the FUBAR tournament. :D
THAT is a Smash tourney I'll enter.

Rules'll probably be announced after the meeting today.

Could probably get more players for FUC if it wasn't on Friday since it's a working day. I know one player who can't make it because of its timeslot.
>.> What is Seeding? (in the brawl context) Also.. I am so playing in that brawl tourney... and not removing my helmet.
Seeding is when you place people in certain locations on the tournament bracket.
Seeding specific people is done so you place say 2 friends on opposite ends of the bracket so they don't fight until much later. This tournament will completely ignore seeding good players/ known friends. They just have to pray my tournament program doesn't pit them against each other.
Thank you!
Thinking about it we'd have better luck with a KoF 98 UM tournament honestly. I won't say anything else, but you'll know the joke if you know why it'll pull massive amount of random numbers.
After thinking about people who've already started creating their teams as well as the pokemon only existing in platinum, I've decided that Rotom alternate forms aren't allowed into Fanime's tournament.

I hope that Halo tournament does not conflict with anything I want to do.
That would make me a sad panda.
to make this more clear on the rules for L4D. Tournament.
here they follow..
Tournament Information:
Left 4 Dead 4v4 Tournament
4-on-4 Versus mode, Zombies vs. Survivors.
Tournament System:
Teams will progress by having a higher overall score at the end of the match which includes all the rounds on both survivor and infected sides. The teams will be eliminated down to one final winning team at the end of the bracket.
Team Member Backups:
If you wish, you can sub in members at the last minute if it comes down to it and you have no other choice..
However - in order to do this, the subbed in member must not be a part of ANY other team. No individual may be on more than one team during this tournament, and may not sub in to any team if he/she has already competed for another team.
Do-Overs / Rematches:
There are no do-overs or anything of the sort. Once you and your opposing team agree to begin the actual tournament match, no member of either team can decide against it counting as the final result. By this I mean no member can say "I have to go do a chore, let's end this game and make the next one official." or anything similar to that.
The Maps:
Both versus maps "No Mercy" and "Blood Harvest" will be involved in the tournament, the map assigned to you will not be by your teams' choice... rather by the corresponding round you are on.
Hosts:
Which ever team signed up for the tournament first has the right to host the match.
Choosing Sides:
The hosting team (whether the first team to sign up or not) gets to choose if they start as survivors or infected first.
Cheating:
Any form of glitching, tricking or cheating that is used to exploit the game outside it's designed functionality will result in your team's disqualification and the immediate progression of your team's opponent.
This includes:
Skipping crescendo events
Double Melee
Blocking Paths
No Tank can enter a safe room if no survivors are inside.
Special Infected must not obstruct tops of ladders themselves.
Survivors can not hide under any stairs (Example: NM4) or between Air Conditioning units (Example: NM5) or on any area that requires a running jump to get to (Example: NM5). Hiding behind the lift is however an acceptable tactic (Example: NM4).
Hunters are not allowed to pounce through safe room doors once closed.
Tanks may not attempt to punch or throw rocks through walls.
Tie-Game:
In the unlikely event of a tie score, the two tied teams will simply have a second match.
I'm hella late on checking this place out, mister xxxplizit I'll see to get the TvsC rules up soon enough today.

No worries, I'll make an attempt to bring it.
My stolen hard drive and being down to the dime for Fanimu this year (I may have 20$ for food if I'm lucky) makes it difficult, though.
I'll be bringing a Wii and PS2 stick for anyone who needs one, by the way.
Holy crap, most of these rules are utter bull.

Skipping crescendo events
Legit
QuoteDouble Melee
There's no reason to ban this, it's legitimate strat. It's like banning weapon swapping in Halo for double melee or reload tricks in other games.
QuoteBlocking Paths
Legit
QuoteNo Tank can enter a safe room if no survivors are inside.
There is no reason to have this either. It removes strategy. You're basically limiting the infected team by saying "You can't use strats that work".
QuoteSpecial Infected must not obstruct tops of ladders themselves.
See above. This is legitimate... this is part of team work. Your partner has to wait below the ladder and keep it clear while another player climbs up, they allowed infected to do this on purpose... You're basically stating and second minding the programmers in stating that this wasn't done on purpose(though lolol they already said it was). There's nothing game breaking about this at all, you can easily get around it it's just part of strats.
An example of how this rule is.
It'd be like pre-patch banning the auto-shotty against the tank.
You're seriously saying "These strats are good, so you're not allowed to do them".
QuoteSurvivors can not hide under any stairs (Example: NM4) or between Air Conditioning units (Example: NM5) or on any area that requires a running jump to get to (Example: NM5). Hiding behind the lift is however an acceptable tactic (Example: NM4).
Huh? What? Why not? HAY GUYS, IN A ZOMBIE INVASION, YOU GUYS CAN'T HIDE IN PLACES IT'S HARD FOR THE ZOMBIES TO GET YOU!
Now you're doing the opposite, you're removing strats from the survivors to be safe. Basically you killed everything in this game outside of "Survivors need to run through it together, and infected have to zerg rush".
QuoteHunters are not allowed to pounce through safe room doors once closed.
Legit, since this is a glitch that was not intended.
QuoteTanks may not attempt to punch or throw rocks through walls.
Punching through walls and rock throws with the tank. Even the CPU does this. You can molotov and pipe bomb him through the wall and there isn't really a game breaking point where you automatically win if you hide behind a certain wall where they can't get through or anything like that. Once more...
all these rules are saying are "strategy does not belong in this game. Zerg rush it, or else you're cheating."
I agree with EVERYTHING Pyron said except for the blocking safe room with tanks. That is just messed up but if you let a tank in then that is your own fault and you should have to deal with it

Why would you ban them? It's not like they're any good.
Gold Lightan has some tricks up his sleeve, but loses to Ryu and Rockman really bad. He's not bad versus people who rely only up close. Lost Planet robot is pretty much buns.

Signups will be available at eGaming's front booth all day until 7:45
Tournament starts at 8
1v1 double elimination tournament (unless there are 4 or less players, then round robin)
- 2/3 matches in a set
- Random seeding
- Nothing's banned
- Loser may change characters inbetween matches
<Insert large obnoxious "AUGGGGH" text here>
At the very least I hope there will be a lot of casuals over the weekend. Won't make it since Swap Meet starts at 8PM Friday.
QuoteNEW! BlazBlue Tournament is NOW official in eGaming.
Hooray! \o/

I'm 100% stoked to see BB coming for the tournament. But a little Guilty Gear tourney on the side wouldn't hurt. :)
Rock Band 2 Tournaments are on PS3, good sir.
Also, if there is anyone that wants to see a cool Street Fighter IV event, come check out Stage Zero around 3 p.m., prior to the SF IV tourney. You just might face off against a Guest of Honor.
Sign me up for the Smash Tournament!
We'll have sign up sheets starting Friday morning. :)
Please remember to sign up early for all tournies you want to enter. ^_^

Friday morning, the 22nd. For clarification.
Are tournaments set up as a BYOC/BYOS or will there be some readily available?
If so, then what kinds of sticks will out there for us to use?

I'm HYPED!
when do registration for the tournaments start?
For those wondering about BYOC, yes, we will allow it. There will be policies available for BYOC, but I am pretty sure everyone is smart enough to know. ;D
For those who wanted to know about tournament sign-ups, as JT said, tournament sign-ups will start on Friday @ 10:00 AM. Please keep in mind the policies:
- Tournament space is very limited (varies upon tournaments). If the list is full and you entered the tournament, you may be eligible to be put on the waiting list. Keep in mind that the waiting list may be limited AND will not guarantee you a spot at the tournament.
- Check in begins 1 hour before the tournament and ends 15 minutes before the tournament starts. You MUST be present at those times, EVEN if you are on the possible waiting list!! If your name is called and you don't show up, expect to be axed out of the tournament; others on the waiting list WILL replace you. In other words, if ya snooze, ya lose. :P
- While there will be a line to sign up for tournaments, there will be multiple registration staffers to assist you. You can sign up for more than one tournament. If you are that hardcore, you can sign up for all the tournaments if you wish. However, use common sense; think thoroughly of what tournaments you want to participate.
Edited post: Thanks for the reminder, JT. ^_^

You would be still able to sign up on that specific day. Keep in mind that it is still a slim chance of entering UNLESS people don't pay attention and bail out (can't be stopped but it will eventually happen). There may be a higher chance of no-shows from those who signed up on Friday and then no-show on Saturday/Sunday.

Registration requires identification to sign up, so they HAVE TO show up in person.
We're planning to implement this, but haven't finalized:
Check in begins 1 hour before the tournament and ends 15 minutes before the tournament starts. If you get in line to check in 1 minute late, sucks for you. Waitlisted people must check in as well during this time period. Anyone who doesn't check in will be immediately dropped. It doesn't matter if you're at the tournament on time, if you didn't check in 15 minutes prior to the tournament start time you're SoL.
Don't sign up unless you actually intend to come to the tournament
Don't leave an active tournament without permission, not even to go to the arcade. If you go to the bathroom you must let the tournament facilitator know. Do not dawdle when you're done, get back to the tournament asap. If you're not there when the facilitator calls your name you will forfeit the match on the spot. We've had too many people walk away and I'm done with waiting for someone who saw something cool at tabletop gaming to come back. You've all been warned.

oh...=\well that sucks >.> i hope there will be space on sat for the l4d, n one question...how come the registration in general is on friday? wouldn't make more sense to have registration for the tournaments on the day they r happening?
Clarification:
Registration for ALL tournaments well start on Friday and CONTINUE until probably 1 hour before the tournament starts, at which point we start check in.
I agree with Blu, the registration for the tournaments should begin on the same day as the tournament itself ... me and my friends can only afford one day at the con and we chose saturday specifically for the l4d tournament, and now we might not even get a space :(
I'm signing up for TvC(even though I will probably lose).
Can I sign my team up for L4D on Friday if I can guarantee they will all be there?
(BTW I showed up for every tourney I signed up for last year and I know Chinoy)
I'll vouch for you abc.
Please remember that all of your teammates must be with you when you check in for the tournament. I'm going to be strict on enforcing the check in policy.
Your entire team must be present for check in and at all times during the tournament's duration unless given explicit permission for a bathroom break from the tourney facilitator.
For those asking for entry caps, 128 entrants WILL be the standard for most of the tournaments that are single elimination. If there are any tournaments that are double-elimination, it would be 32 entrants. However, reserve lists are limited in space; the number will vary on tournaments.
The following tournaments are exceptions to the above mentioned (undefined number):
- Rock, Paper, Scissors. This tournament goes VERY FAST!!
- Rock Band 2 (Freestyle). Bands perform once, and it also depends on Stage Zero's schedule on how many people can sign up.
- Guitar Hero: World Tour (Guitar Battle), DDR Extreme 2 (Perfect Attack), and Beatmania IIDX. A prequalifier will determine who enters the actual brackets.
= = = = = = = = =
Quick additions:
- Even if you can sign up for as many tournaments as possible, you are only given one signup. In other words, you cannot sign up for 3 tournaments at 5:00 PM Friday and then sign up again at 9:00 Friday or any other day. Think responsibly. If you have any questions, please ask us or read the pamphlet and we will be glad to assist you.
- Cutting in line is prohibited. If you are caught cutting in line, you will be sent to the back of the line.
- Once you leave the line for any reason, you can't go back to your spot.
- Signing up other people in tournaments is prohibited. Singles tournaments are no exceptions at all. However, team tournaments may be an exception to "signing up other people" rule. I suspect that everyone in the team show up. Otherwise, good luck competing against the opposing team for Halo 3 or Left 4 Dead or good luck trying to find a replacement for Rock Band Freestyle. :P

You would be still able to sign up on that specific day. Keep in mind that it is still a slim chance of entering UNLESS people don't pay attention and bail out (can't be stopped but it will eventually happen). There may be a higher chance of no-shows from those who signed up on Friday and then no-show on Saturday/Sunday.

Both scenarios would work. However, the second scenario would be more reasonable especially for a big con like FanimeCon.
It would make sense that sign-ups for tournaments for that specific day would theoretically seem more organized. There may be a chance that we'll see less bailouts who sign up on Friday and don't show up on Saturday and Sunday for other reasons. It also forces those who are hogging up on tournaments to be in line 3 times to enter all tournaments for 3 days. However...
...The main reason why we chose to start registration for all tournaments on Friday is because it will prepare us for what to expect on Saturday and Sunday. Statistically, people will just sign up anyways, regardless of commitment because they want to secure their spot in the list. Regardless of how strict we are gonna be (we are going to be very strict this year don't show up one second late), we cannot eliminate it entirely. Yes, this includes same-day registration (example: they sign up early at 10 AM on Saturday, but for some awful reason they forgot they were a part of a Masquerade skit).
We apologize for the inconvenience. However, this should NOT stop you and your friends from signing up for Left 4 Dead; we still have a reserve list. But keep your hopes up; if bailouts occur as predicted, you have a high chance to still compete. :)
Who do I sign up with for the Smash Tournament?
do we need to bring our own controllers? for any of the tournaments? ???
Due to the large amount of players that will likely be at these tournaments, we highly suggest bringing your own controllers for both casuals and tournaments. Although we will have controllers for people to use, we only have a finite amount and may not be able to supply everyone.

At the eGaming perimeter, there will be a line of people signing up for tournaments and a a group of people on laptops lined up helping these people. If you see that line plus a stack of laptops with people in it, that's where you should sign up.

What day?
I have a question about tournaments in general. A friend of mine is planning to be at the con on Sunday for the brawl Tournament. Does he have to physically sign his name on the sign in sheet or could I do it for him on Friday?
Darn... there's no way that the two Brawl tourneys can swap days, is there? D:
I won't be around on Sunday. :(

Yes, he has to be physically present. We will not accept people signing other people in.

Nope. Time changes are impossible at this time. Deadlines and requests were done weeks ago.
Thanks. I'll tell him to get his ass early to the con, then.

Wow, that add on seems horrible. The Awesomebox360's controller is perfectly good for FPS. If you need to use a mouse or a keyboard maybe you just shouldn't even consider playing a console tourney.
Another question, is there a sign in cap for tournaments, such as "when x number of people have signed up, we can not allow anymore to sign up"?

Yeah, I think he said 128 max.

Yes, there is a sign-in cap for all tournaments. Even if you weren't the first X people to sign up, there is a reserve list in which you are eligible to sign up for, which may get you a spot if people drop out. This list is slightly limited as well and if too many people signed up for reserve, we will have to close sign-ups for that tournament entirely.
Quote from: abcbadcat on May 20, 2009, 10:39:10 AMYeah, I think he said 128 max.
Yes, for the most part. The 128-max entry excludes tournaments with double-elimination, music games, RPS, and other specialized tournaments depending on the tournament organizers' judgment.
Thanks, I'll let him know.
