This is a Kaillera/PS3 tournament; however Kaillera is the primary playing format. Explanation:
  • If both users use MAME/Kaillera, the match will be played via Kaillera.
  • If both users have a PS3, the match may be played on either Kaillera or PS3.
  • If one user has Kaillera and the other only has a PS3, the match MUST be played via Kaillera. This means the PS3 user will need to download the Kaillera software and use it for the match-up.
Basically, PS3 may be used to play the matches; but if one player does not have a PS3 then the matches MUST be played via Kaillera. If you do not have Kaillera installed on your computer and/or need assistance with getting it setup, please see this link for detailed instructions:

Since we are playing for money and prizes, the rules will be strictly enforced by CMK staff. CMK veterans should already be familiar with the guidelines; however if you are a newcomer we ask that you please read over these rules very carefully to ensure the tournament runs as smoothly as possible.

OFFICIAL RULES

  • Best of 13 matches (not first to 7, therefore every match must be played even if you have accumulated the majority of wins). This will become important in tiebreakers.
  • Once brackets are posted, a given timeframe to complete your quarterfinal match with your opponent and post results of your match by 11:59 pm est of the deadline date.
  • You do not need to record your match, but please write down your scores (ie. 4-9 or 6-7) and character matchups if you remember them.
  • Tourney duration will be 2 weeks. Deadline for reporting scores will be posted. Please get your matches done ASAP to keep the tourney running as smoothly as possible.
  • To avoid unfair counterpicking, all matches MUST be done using random select.
  • In order to register, you MUST post in this thread and state you wish to enter. Do not message CMK staff, IceyTruth, or myself. NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • If you have been previously banned from CMK, you are not permitted to enter the tournament. CMK staff reserves the right, at any time, to disqualify any participant suspected of ban evasion.
DISQUALIFICATIONS

  • If a player selects a character without random select that match will NOT count. If you accidentally pick Liu Kang or Reptile, then the match will not count and will be omitted. (If you need to message your opponent in game for whatever reason then let the timer run out on the character select screen)
  • If a player willingly quits than that player is eliminated for the entire tourney *lag exception see below
  • If a player no-shows a match or does not complete the 13 matches they are disqualified
  • If a player does not post results of their match they will be disqualified
  • If a person is lagging severely with several people, intentional or not, that player may be removed from the entire tournament.
  • Anyone suspected of purposely lagging a match to gain an unfair advantage will be disqualified.
POSTING RESULTS OF A MATCH

Remember to have a pen and paper ready when you play your games so you can write down your results after each match.

Example:
1= wazz56
2= smoke
3= wazz56
4= wazz56
5= smoke
6= smoke
7= wazz56
8= smoke
9= smoke
10= wazz56
11= wazz56
12= smoke
13= wazz56

LAG EXCEPTION

  • If connection breaks, then 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 than the player has a right to report it. (if you click the ps3 button you will see if the person is still playing mk2... if it doesn't than they've manually exited the game).
  • 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.
  • *You will have up to the 3rd match to quit on account of lag if it is really unplayable without being faulted (after the 3rd match is played you must continue the rest of your 10 remaining matches even if lag begins to creep in.) 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. Semi's and Finals must be played regardless of lag.
  • If a person is DQ'ed, and another opponent cannot be found for the remaining player, then a reserve will be used. If there is no reserve, than 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 than the winner will get to pick.
In order to optimize internet speed, Please DO NOT:
  • have anything other than MAME running on your PC
  • any 2.4 ghz cordless telephone calls
If possible, try to get a hardwired connection; whether the matches are played on PSN or Kaillera. The last thing you want have happen is get DQ'd due to lag. Remember, you are playing for a shot at some serious gift cards and you don't want it to just go up in smoke!

Enjoy!

Very good games and congrats to X820, he won 9-4 against me just now. It's amazing how much smoother MAME is compared to PSN, except for that one desynch we had mid-way.

Congrats on your $10 dude

Thanks man, I appreciate it :)

I just talked to btbb99 over the phone and I can't figure out the problem. He's using a PS3 controller on his PC and for some reason he can't get it to work properly on the PC. X820 is probably the best resource, but with him being over in the Netherlands I know those two won't be communicating via phone. Scheiss, you're in the US. Maybe you could help him out?

I pm'd Tonshaad, hopefully he'll be able to get back into this.


On a sidenote, Shangman linked me to this website, it's a PS3 driver.
Supposed to be real good (and easy to install) and it even supports wireless if you have a bluetooth dongle.

Hope this helps.

I don't know really, I haven't seen him in a while.

Let's wait another day, after that you can decide if he gets replaced to move this along.

Oh! That's great! I'm ready!

ps: As some of you may know that I'm from Russia, which means I cannot play on West Wonderland because of high ping and 11-13 frames delay (~135ms) but, fortunately I can host p2p session... you'll need OpenKaillera n02.p2p v0r6 client. And my msn is working now (switched to miranda), it is [email protected].
