[quote name='Furashu']I would want a one day tournament, but realisticly organizing what 25-40 people would be pretty hard. I suggest the first tourney is like 2 or 3 days, then after we get the kinks out, try to do one day tourneys. cause u know people are gonna d/c, theres gonna be four double ko's in a row, four draws in a row or something stupid. someone accidently choosing ryu instead of ken.[/quote]
Hopefully there won't be that many draws/double K.O.s/disconnects during the tourney. With so many people that signed up with the intent on participating, the tourney will most likely take a few days.
[quote name='Lobsterjohnson']The easiest way to do a tourney is to make the match-ups and set a date at which they need to be played. Winner must report to OP. Missed matches or unable to connect situations should be figured out by OP as they happen.

This is most likely what the set up will be like, unless there are only a few participants

I'd also like to add that players shouldn't be bound to one character. I mean, I'm only going to play as Zangief, but a Balrog might not want to be matched up against Zangief so the player should have the choice to change...but that's just my opinion.[/quote]
For the first tourney, you can use whoever you want, no restrictions what so ever. I only ask that people list their main/s is/are because if we have a random character tournament, people getting their mains would most likely make the playing field uneven. Also, maybe to help people prepare for their match ups.
Alright....Gonna try a one day tournament on Friday Feb. 27, 2009 for people that want a one day tournament. That tournament is going to start at 6 pm Central time for the PS3 users and 8 pm Central for the 360 users. I will start a thread in the PS3 and 360 forums for the sign up for that one day tournament.
The next day, Sat. Feb. 28, 2009. We will start the multi-day tournament for people that can't make it on friday, or prefer a multi day one. I am hoping to get at least 3 matches for everyone and then we will go from there. I will be adding everyone to the tournament who has posted their info here.
For the multi day tournament, if you can't make it on the first day(02-28-09) for whatever reason. You can either postpone the match to the next day (can't make it Sat, you have until Sun 11:59 pm to compelte the match) or you can pass and the other person gets a bye. Most of the tracking will be done by you cags, since this multiday tournament is spreadout. Winners of the match, please post the outcome of the matches. If you guys can get the ball rolling (A and B matched up, C and D matched up. A wins match and posts. D wins match and posts. A and D notices that they will be fighting next, they get together and have their match...and so on), I hope that made sense.
I will hopefully have brackets up by later tonight.
--edit--
Threads have been made for the one day tournaments. Please post there if you are interested and so I can start on a bracket.
