Summer 2011 MK2 Tournament - CANCELLED

It's about time for another seasonal tournament.

CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF SIGNUPS


This is a PS3 tournament

RULES
  • All matches are best of 7 (first to 4.) You do not need to play all 7 games if one player has already accumulated 4 wins.
  • All matches are random select.
  • DOUBLE ELIMINATION
  • You, yourself, must post in this thread and declare your entry to the tournament. Do not message me through PM, AIM, PSN, or through someone else. By posting your intent to enter in this thread, it shows you are a CMK member and you will check the thread for updates and match assignments rather than relying on us to tell you.
  • If connection breaks, both players must restart the match with the same characters (prior round win is omitted). If the breaking connection is suspicious like breaking right before a victory then the player has a right to report it.
  • In the case of lag, keep trying. If after a few tries the connection is not good, please report back to this thread IMMEDIATELY and a new matchup may be made for you with another opponent.
  • If there is unplayable lag, you must notify your opponent you are quitting due to lag and must report this asap in this thread in order to get a new opponent other wise you may both be disqualified. Therefore it is best to play early in case you may need to swap opponents as there may be no available opponents left if all matchups have been played. This lag exception ONLY applies to first round matches. All subsequent rounds MUST be played regardless of lag.
  • If you trigger the Smoke battle, intentionally or not, you automatically forfeit the match. Not the game, the entire match.
  • If you have been banned from CMK previously, you are not permitted to enter the tournament.
DISQUALIFICATIONS
  • Failure to meet match deadlines, failing to post score results of a match, voluntarily quitting in the middle of a match or at any time in the tournament, any sort of suspicious activity (impersonation, ban evasion, etc), or anything else deemed inappropriate or unsportsmanlike is grounds for disqualification. CMK staff also reserves the right to disqualify a player with or without notice at any time.
  • If a person is DQ'ed then a reserve will be used. If there is no reserve, then the player will receive a bye. Byes only allowed in quarterfinals. If a replacement player is needed in the semi's or finals, it will be determined from the previous rounds' highest scoring losing player. If there is a tie then the winner will get to pick.
One last thing: Video recordings are not required, but definitely appreciated!

Some have asked about making this a random select tournament. I don't care either way, but I'll ask for opinions. Anyone care if this is random or not?

Honestly DCI, 'in my opinion', I believe we should go random in this tournament. I mean, going random would ensure fair play. I would be okay losing to someone who went random. I would find it hard to give credit to someone who beat me by counter-picking, and relying on the elites Liu Kang, Jax, and Mileena for wins. Once again, going random is the fair, man to man approach we should take.

I completely understand that thought process. I will say though that in the 2+ years I have been on this site, outside of one instance, I have never experienced any issues with people from CMK counterpicking me. Just my 2 cents.

BTW nice logo :)

Let me rephrase that... What I mean is that it would ensure a fair tournament, not to say the members of Classicmk won't play fair.

Dropped the signups from 16 to 8. We need at least 8 players or this thing is going to be cancelled.

If we don't have 8 players by Saturday, I'll make this a PS3 only tournament.

edit: If this does wind up being PS3 only, I may have to drop due to a poor connection with folks on the east coast. We'll see what happens, though.

that would be cool. If you end up doing that there's a couple players I know and play often I could maybe get to join up as well.

also don't forget about goofart! He was also looking to do a PSN only tournament a few months back it just never came to fruition. Im not personally friends with him but someone should shoot him a message as well, he would probably join

Great! Just make sure they are members of the site, or they signup and post in the forum, and are not banned from CMK.
