[FB] 1st Dustloop Online EXVSFB Shuffle Tournament (2/16)

[Setsuna Yuki]

Hi guys ! As you can guess, I'd like to organize an online shuffle tournament this sunday (2/16)/tomorrow at 2PM PST/5PM EST. It'd be a test, a first attempt to see how things could work.

We'd need at least 16 players. Any additionnal players will be part of the waiting list. If we reach 32 players (including the 16 first players and the players of the waiting list), it will be a 32 players shuffle tournament but if we can afford to gather at least 16 players, it'd be great already.

To preserve some pleasure to play, I'd like to minimize lag issues so it'll only be open for NA players. Also, your own connection/network status (the icon on the top and right of your screen) must be green or blue. Please refrain to participate if your connection is red/orange/yellow. This is not referring to the connection you have with other players.

I'll be the host of the room. I'm in Europe but it won't affect your games since it's P2P I guess.

Since it's a shuffle tournament, it'll be first to 1 and it won't be double elimination like the usual way. Players who'll lost until semi finals will compete in another bracket for the 3rd place while the 4 finalists will battle for the 1st place (losers of the final will automatically be 2nd and won't go to the 3rd place bracket).

Here is the 2 brackets so you can take a look at how it'll work : Brackets for 16 players

The tournament will be unit/MS locked. Stage will be random. Timer will be set at 240 seconds (in case of Time Up/Draw, the match will be replayed until we have our winners).

It's possible I'll ask for your replays so that we'd be able to upload the whole thing on Youtube.

If you wanna try this, please post your JP PSN ID and the unit/MS you'll use for the whole tournament as well as the city/region you're living in. Be sure to be available before registering. The thing could last 1h/1h30.

I'll use this site to randomize every players names and I'll put the first 4 in Block A, the following 4 in Block B and such.

- Kin-man (AL) / jpnman777 / Zudah

This tournament is not meant to be played seriously. Have fun, make it hyped and go YOLO !

[Setsuna Yuki]

I'm still taking suggestions. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I received some feedbacks about allowed connection (many players aren't green/blue) and schedule (some players prefer playing at night). Really, don't hesitate to express your thoughts. Shuffle tournaments are a great experience but they need players.

Kinman > Congratulation for being the first entrant !

Also, I'd need every future entrants to specify where they're living (i.e. Austin, TX). Thanks.

All right the first Full Boost tournament! Let's do this!

PSN: LoneHeroJP

Unit: Extreme Gundam Aios/Blast Burst

Location: Virginia so East Coast

[Setsuna Yuki]

Thanks to the new entrants ! Hopefully, we'll have the 11 remaining required players before the beginning of the tournament.

HidatsuX, for now, there's no streaming. If players could stream their own matches, it'd be good. As a host, I won't be able to see anything since there's no spectator mode.

[Krauser11]

Hopefully the lag will be close to non-existent.

Thanks to the 3 new entrants, we managed to reach the first half of the required number of players !

[Murrey]

Hmm... is it possible to enter if we're EU or is it NA only? NA to EU is between Green and Orange/Red (at worst) bar most of the time... :V

Edited February 15, 2014 by Murrey

[Setsuna Yuki]

What's your connection quality with NA ? It should be at least yellow with West Coast to be bearable in my opinion.

[Murrey]

Orange 90% of the time with WC. Most of EC and Midwest is yellow (some people are even green).

[Setsuna Yuki]

I'm adding you to the waiting list. If we lack one player to run the tournament, I'll let you join. Be sure to be available in case we need you.

[gmsephiroth]

PSN: gmxsephiroth

Unit: Reborns

Location: Daytona Beach, FL

My roommate is also interested in signing up, though he is not a Dustloop member. If thats OK let me know and I'll post his info as well.

[TAI-X]

Sorry, but I think we should keep the tournament to NA just to be safe. Had some bad connections with Euro players, even from the East Coast.

Edit: Never mind, it's fine if we need an extra player and he's the only option.

[Setsuna Yuki]

Murrey > What unit will you use in case you'll be allowed to enter ?

gmsephiroth > It's not possible for your friend to make a Dustloop account ? It'd be better so that he could post and we'll be able to communicate with him.

TAI-X > It's the best compromise I could think about.

[Murrey]

*reserved*

[Setsuna Yuki]

In France, it should be ran from 10PM until 11PM/12AM. You're sure you don't want to be added to the Waiting List ?

[Murrey]

2PM PST is actually 11PM here. I guess you can add me to the waiting list as a "really worst case scenario" with Blue Destiny in that case.

[gmsephiroth]

@Setsuna Yuki

Its not so much that he can't, its that he really doesn't want to (and since I usually tell him about any events being organized, he finds it unnecessary).
