ayo.

You like melee?

Welcome to the inaugural TFTV Netplay Tournament. This is the first in a (hopeful) series of tourneys. Our first one is going to be free, but if we get enough interest we'll be running some buyin tourneys with pots.

This first one starts Saturday, October 3rd at 3pm EST. Entry is free. Sign ups lock on Friday, Oct 2nd at 12am EST or when 32 people have signed up.

Featuring on casting:
flatline
row
exc0
han
Twitchy

Bracket:
http://challonge.com/tftvmelee1/

Rules:
-Smashboards ruleset (http://smashboards.com/rulesets/melee/) except for one thing. Obviously because we can't do RPS online, lower seed strikes first.
-Use Dolphin 7840
-Double elim
-BO3 throughout, BO5 semi/finals (winner gets 1BO5 advantage in GFs)
-Forfeit rule: 10+ minutes late to your game is an automatic FFL
-Join the steam group (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfdottvsmash) to find your opponents!
-Winners report scores through steam group on match announcement

Sign up below. Include your alias and your closest region (west coast or east coast). Also link your steam profile so I can add you if need be. We're going to try to balance out the bracket so that people get better ping matchups, at least in the first rounds.

Edit 1:
Already 16 entrants and an even bracket!
Steam group created to make it easier to add your opponents. (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfdottvsmash)
Also, if you're interested in being in the casting rotation, feel free to add me.

Edit 2:
updated with casters. 27 entrants! 32 is max.
If necessary, I'll start sending out invites to people who haven't joined the group (around Wednesday?)
stream confirmed - http://twitch.tv/mangachu_

Edit 3:
32 player max reached!
Seeding is in the process of being done.
The tournament schedule will be pretty loose; if you advance into the next round and you have an opponent to play you don't have to wait around. *I or another caster will contact you on Steam if we want the info to get your match casted (so don't go super super fast).

Edit 4:
Invites sent out for group
Seeding mostly completed

It's pretty easy to spectate you just have to join the netplay game before they begin, then you have to go to configure pad and set it so the person who wants to spectate doesn't have a controller port assigned to them.

(pretend that there are 3 unique players as opposed to just me 3 times)

this causes it to not add any lag to the game allowing you to spectate without making the buffer higher ( i think we should test first though LOL)

ps I wanna play (duh)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'll set something up, a casting rotation of at least 4 players and someone who's not playing/has decent internet to stream and cam.

If you're interested in casting or camming (this includes manning the overlays and stuff), add me and we can talk.

the streamer/caster joins the game, but his controller is disabled so he has no effect on the FPS/ping.

Also a bit of a survey. If we were to do paid tournaments in the future, would you guys want tf2 keys (for ease of collection/distribution) or cold hard cash USD/CAD
