People are invited to BYO consoles, controllers, games and/or TVs. A third PS3 console with another 2x TE stick and SF4 would be much appreciated, for use on the third monitor.

*3x TE stick or similar for the PS3
(1 TE stick - Skullator)

SF4 Team Tournament
The tournament will be run using the a-cho 2-on-2 format (where everyone plays). In this format, Player A from each team will face-off, followed by Player B from each team. If at the end of these games the scores are 1-1, a tie-breaker will be played between the winners of the first 2 games.

Team order can be decided by the players, and double blind selection is available by request.

People will be asked to form their teams on the day - if you don't have a team, rock up and we'll find one for you. If you don't approach me with team details when called, you will be assigned a teammate at random.

The SF4 team tournament will start at 2:00PM sharp.

Match rulse are yet to be decide as we may have time issues for double elimination, (update once decided)

Everyone must select 1 character to use for the duration of the tournament.

Note Rules: the rules would be similar to the Nationals last year unless stated above so please familiarize yourself with the rules.

Sign-Ups
You can sign-up here or on the day before 2pm.

Is there a price for people who just want to spectate, yet play casuals on the other consoles not being used for the tourney?

Also Lenny has only an HRAP for the PS3.  Not a TE stick.

[fluxcore]

Where are you gonna plug these extra consoles in stu?

Otherwise yeah, the price is petrol money

[Rorooze]

I can't make 6th March, it's my sisters wedding! Have fun though guys!

We will most likely be running two setups for this but depends on number of entrants, we can run 3 if we have to.
As for spectating, there is no fee. Casual play will come after the tournament, if you have your own console and I might be able to sort a monitor for you with a minimal fee.

I will update Lenny's TE stick above. ty.

The entry fee may seem a bit higher than usual, though it will make our 1st pot higher.
For the players above who I have signed up have any issues with the price and would like to cancel the sign up let me know. I may reconsider the entry fee but it will mean the prize pot is smaller.
And as mentioned I will get prizes for 2nd and 3rd place as well.

I'm guessing it's per team for the entry, or $20 for each person?

[[NIUE] B1ackstar Ninja]

$20 per person , $40 a team

[stereomonkey]

Hmmm, that doesn't make sense.  You can't enter a team tourney by yourself

So my guess is it is either $20 team entry.  Need Andy to confirm/clear up this.

[[NIUE] B1ackstar Ninja]

aye ?
each team member has to pay $20 each .
So $40 a team of 2
Of course your not gunna pay $20 and enter if you havent got a partner to play with  .
Common stu lol

whatever u-man, the combined forces of my chun and bills fuerte will be too much.

[HoneyBadger]

Smoof's TE will be there.

TBH for 20 bucks per person the pot should be split across the top 3 spots 60-20-10 imo.

20 is pretty steep given the range of skill in our small community, and does little to encourage everyone to join in.

Just my 2 cents.
