[Apr 13, 2012] PowerUp 2012 - EVO 2012 Tournament Season (Cincinnati, Ohio)

[Tim Static]

POWERRRRRRR UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

Do we know a rough estimate of numbers for this? there are like 20 pre-regs.

 

[16 Bit]

It'll be at least 30+

 

[Tim Static]

right now its about 20 pre-regged but there will be more.

 

[IKizzLE]

God, and Flawless Victory has 75+

-_-

 

[Osirun]

With MK setups? I'll stop by.

MK is unfortunately dead in Cincinnati. But maybe your presence can reinvigorate it : )

Oh, and someone play McLovins in UMK3. The man is dying for good competition.

 

[Osirun]

God, and Flawless Victory has 75+

-_-

Yeah. That's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. But no hard feelings toward FV. Both events will be excellent.

Also,

Pre-Registration has closed, but you can still utilize Emergency Registration in-person from 9am, Friday, April 13th until 9:30am, Saturday, April 14th.

Safe travels to all, and see you at the event!

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

Finished pre reg... see you all there

 

[Jody Tha Great]

Flawless Victory spoiled everyone lol but that's only first place prize at that event I believe. Big risk going out there just to win to be flown to EVO for free and paid to be in as well. Good luck to everyone at that event becuz I can't afford to fly there at this time lol.

Shoutouts to my Pool C peeps!

Ready for Kitana? :16Bit

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

Ready for Kitana? :16Bit

NOPE!

But I welcome the challenge. I'm looking forward to avoiding iaf's like Neo from The Matrix.

[IKizzLE]

Fuck, out of all the players I did not want to fight, Dizzy was my number 1.

I guess I'm going 0-2. -_-

 

[GGA Jeremiah]

I did not want to play Kizzle, or 16bit. Oh well. At least both aren't in my pool. Methinks I will not be Sheeva against 16bit. And then if I get through that mess Wafflez will tear me down

 

[GGA Jeremiah]

Fuck, out of all the players I did not want to fight, Dizzy was my number 1.

I guess I'm going 0-2. -_-

Well the good news is that pools are so small, that Dizzy could beat you and after a couple of wins you would still make top 8 right? Since there are 4 pools, top 8 the next day should be the winner of winners for each pool and then the winner of losers right?

yeah. the overall winner of the pool and the winner of the losers bracket from each pool will be top 8.

Nice to see some activity in here and you guys dissecting the pools, but allow me to clarify how the Pool Qualification System will work:

MK9 has 4 pools scheduled. Top 4 in Winners and Top 4 in Losers for each pool will advance to a 32-Man Semifinals Bracket to be played immediately after all 4 pools have completed. From that Semifinals Bracket, Top 4 in Winners and Top 4 in Losers will advance to Top 8 for Sunday Finals. Top 16 finishers will receive Road to EVO 2012 points.

As a visual aid, here is what the Pools will look like:

64-Man Pool with Top 8 highlighted/numbered

And here's what the Semifinals Bracket will look like:

32-Man Semifinals Bracket with Pool Qualifiers, Top 8, and EVO Seeds highlighted/numbered

Hope that answers any lingering questions. For more details about the Pool Qualification System, see the OP.

Very interesting. Thank you for clarifying.

 

[16 Bit]

There's not even 32 registered, so how's that going to work?

 

[Osirun]

Well, if we don't get at least 32, then Semi-Finals will just have some byes. Because in the Top 8 slots on the Pool Bracket, a Bye would technically advance to Semi-Finals XD
