            Other notes:

            [*] At least top 4 in each game shall be streamed.

            [*] Streaming shall occur sequentially as each game completes.

            [*] After tournaments are done, time is available for casuals and training.

            [*] Prefer that side tournaments not run at same time as main tournaments.

            Fee Structure:

            An external funding source grants you a $2 bonus entering your first game.

            This means your first game is $3 to enter.

            Any additional game is $5.

            The end result is that entering the tournament and games will be a multiple of $5 in the end for you.

            So if you only enter 1 game, $10 overall.

            If you enter 2 games, $15 overall.

            And so on.

            Seed points (for filling out brackets - 1st=4, 2nd=2, 3rd=1, 4th=i):

            [*] Guilty Gear

            [*] 6 - eh-sama

            [*] 4 - honnou

Still experimenting with running tournaments; notable changes:

  • Moved up first match to 4pm to give more time at end for learning/practice.
  • Guilty Gear prioritized, time and streamwise
  • Do not want side tournaments happening at same time as mains. While nothing can really stop side tournaments, the upshot is that TOs will not suspend a match for side tournaments (i.e. disqualify if held up in sides).


    Also, this will be the last occurrence at San Mateo Gamecenter. While the venue may be closing, I have found ways to keep the GG tournies alive (P4A, BB... you guys are on your own :razz:)

    About Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core Plus R
    As of this writing, GGXXACPR ("+R") is available on JP PSN, but not yet on US PSN. I am willing to make a last-minute change to go with +R if:

    • There is sufficient demand for it in the thread here (post up, dangit)
    • and sufficient quantities of stations can be secured to run +R (minimum 4)
    • or +R comes out on US PSN before I head over to start tournaments

    Nonetheless, +R will be available after tournaments for casuals.

    We shall be using Plus R the whole time.

I want +R! lol

I don't want to have to remember which way to hold my stick when I throw people, just because we're going back to vanilla AC+. :(

I think it would be preferable to go with +R cause it's available. As much as I don't mind vanilla AC cause <3 easy mode dolphin loops.

I can provide a +R setup.

I would love to hang out on Saturday but will be at San Jose visiting a friend for the day. But Sunday I can swing by and get casuals though for a good amount of the afternoon. :)

Not to discourage anyone from going to Gamecenter on Sunday, but I think a lot of us will be on cooldown after this Saturday. We'll be there all day, so if you wanted to somehow swing by at night and squeeze some matches in, you're more than welcome to. :)

Yep, I will be heading over in the afternoon to hopefully get some casuals in and bringing my roommate also so he can level. Need to try out the new Zappa and Anji out.

There'll probably be other folks around, though.

Calling/changing it: +R for Guilty Gear.

May want to edit the second post to reflect that as well.
