Hey tftv!
After the successes of tourney 1 I'm proud to launch the second TFTV Melee Tourney.
Featuring on casting:
Twitchy
Deer
This tourney starts on Saturday, November 7th at 3pm EST. Signups will lock on Friday, November 6th at 12am EST.
The tourney will be paid-entry. Entry is 3 keys paid to me (non-refundable).
Pot is currently 24 keys.
Prize distribution is this:
1st Place: 60% of pot
2nd Place: 30% of pot
3rd Place: 10% of pot
In case of payouts being in decimal range, key prizes will be rounded up.
(If you want to donate to the prizepot just add me)
Bracket:
http://challonge.com/tftvmelee2
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 (with exceptions due to extenuating circumstances, discuss with me beforehand)
-In case of unplayable lag/inability to connect, players can agree to play on another Dolphin version. If lag is unplayable the lagging person reserves the right to forfeit the game. If necessary, a TO will intervene and decide to forfeit the lagging player.
-Instead of a steam group, we'll be using a mumble to keep everyone together and easily accessible. Bookmark this mumble and join up on the tourney day!

Sign up below. Include your alias and your closest region (west coast or east coast), then add me to pay your entry fee. Your entry isn't confirmed until you pay! We're going to try to balance out the bracket so that people get better ping matchups, at least in the first rounds.

flatline1/3 of the keys goes to the production
You realize that the reason lan tourneys take a cut is because they're actually providing a monetary expense right. I'm sure you're bleeding money adding people on steam and setting up a challonge.

It's more for the people sacrificing 5 hours of their day to run camera and cast than for me.
Although you do have a point (and this wasn't really originally my idea). I may change that after I talk to the people I want to do casting/camming for.

OP updated. 7 entries so far! Make sure to pay by next Wednesday; that's when I'll start removing people who haven't paid from the bracket.

I'll be out of town for a little while so I won't be able to accept payments for the time being.

If you want to cast and/or stream the event, feel free to add me! This tourney's going to be smaller so it won't take up too much of your day.

Bracket updated again. Some people had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts, we're back to 8.
Most people are confirmed for paying; those who aren't i'll start hunting down today. Hopefully we don't have to axe anyone from the bracket but that would probably happen tomorrow or Friday (if we end up with a really low amt I'd probably re-open signups on Friday).

Some final things before tomorrow --
Sadly, there won't be a stream; I couldn't find a cameraman on time. Tourney is still on as planned though, and all the financial aspects are squared away.
If I could have everyone show up in mumble by 3pm est that'd be great. Make sure to bookmark the mumble server in the OP.

Congrats to the winners!
1st Place - Waldo
2nd Place - whymeo
3rd Place - Deer
Thanks for coming out, guys. I'm thinking of a new prize system for the third tourney, but I think the first and second one worked out most of the kinks in the system. Expect Tourney 3 sometime in December.

Look out for the next tourney, which should be happening sometime in December. Entry will be free with a prize pot of at least 24 keys!
