Rules:

Teams will play each other team round robin style, scoring a point for each win against an opposing team. Team order must be set before each round robin match.

Matches in round robin will use the Powerup 2011 MK9 rules and be 2/3

- Both teams set orders (submit to TO or verbally tell other team)
- Team A's player 1 vs. Team B player 1
- Team A's player 2 vs. Team B player 2
- Team A's player 3 vs. Team B player 3
- Team A's player 4 vs. Team B player 4
- Team A's player 5 vs. Team B player 5
- Team with the most wins scores the point

After the round robin has finished, the two teams with the most wins will advance to the final.

In the event of a tie, the tied team's head to head result will determine who advances.

The final will be the same format as the round robin stage, but will use 3/5 in each match.

*Any comments or suggestions on rules, give them now. We will lock rules and teams a week before the event.*

Repost from the original Power Up thread:

Man I am soooo fucking hype for this tourney you have no idea. I'm bring some noise...don't sleep on me.

Lucky: I'm still working out Team Wild Card participants. I have 3 definites (including myself), and hit a couple people up for for the final 2 on my team.

Was thinking about doing 2 small single elimination tournaments before the team tourney, if for some reason I didn't get those two slots filled in time. So people could have a chance to play...if they didn't know about it. We'll see.

Regardless, this tourney is gonna be absolutely fantastic for MK. And I am very happy for us all. MK can really pull in the interest with a strong showing and quality play.

IT HAS BEGUN!!!! :evilgrin1:

Nah team test your might. Just cuz Wong and flow are in it don't mean they gonna be good.

 

[Lucky Day]

I would like to throw my name out there for Team All stars for mk 9 .

That team is already finalized, just haven't announced it entirely.

But the PowerUp team will be open to anyone that deserves the spot on Saturday night, so all you have to do is prove you belong by putting in the performance during the singles tourney.

 

[Saviorself]

[Tim Static]

I would like to throw my name out there for Team All stars for mk 9 .

[CEO Jebailey]

Yep I booked a flight last minute 2 days ago cause I couldn't go to UFGT in Chicago. I needed a vacation before CEO in June. So I will be there, and I'll gladly earn a spot on Team Powerup through the Singles Tourney.

 

[Evil_Riu48]

[Lucky Day]

Arturo Sanchez added to Team All-Stars!

 

[Lucky Day]

Congrats to Kris the Hornett on qualifying as the Cincinnati rep for team Ohio.

 

[Lucky Day]

Mike Ross completes the All-Stars team!

Arkayne and The Real KT round out Webster's Wildcard team!

Team Ohio finishes qualifying this week and we'll be ready to go.

 

[Professor_Rouse]

Darn, I wanted to be in team Ohio

 

[Lucky Day]

Playing to Win from Cleveland is volunteering himself because nobody up there has challenged him. If you want to play him for it before the tourney we may be able to arrange that.

If not, you can still make the PowerUp team by doing well in the singles tourney.

 

[Osirun]

Mike Ross confirmed? Sweet!

 

[The Blacktastic]

<Insert additional 'Get Hype' comment here.>

Seriously, I hope that almost everyone attending PowerUp will give MK9 a glance once we're through with this.
From what I was watching in the Team Sp00ky stream last weekend, there's some good talent that will make it into the MVP team, provided that they're actually attending PU2011 of course.

Enough of my rambling. So excited!

 

[Lucky Day]

Mike Ross confirmed? Sweet!

lol, yeah he said he'll participate in the 5v5 event, and a while back he said he was coming, so I'm assuming that means he's confirmed. I was a little concerned because I didn't see him on the reg list, but that's what we're going with for now at least, lol.

 

[Osirun]

Well he definitely did not pre-reg. Last I heard he was musing on the possibility of attending after learning we're having BBQ XD

 

[Perfect Legend]

This looks fun

 

[Krayzie]

Looking forward to this.

 

[DanCock]

should each team not reveal whos going 1st, 2nd, 3,4,5 until it time to face off a team? like write it on a paper before they face off.. instead of one team announcing who going 1-5 then another team could just counter with their order..
