[24 Nov 2013] VF Circuit Individuals - November Qualifiers (Online - PSN and XBL)

If you like VF, and play online come join us in an online gathering of VFing!​

This is the November Qualifier. The winner (or the next highest rank if the top finishers are people that have already qualified) qualifies for the December Championship at the end of the year. The winner of the December Championship gets a VFDC title under their name for ~3-4 months before the next Championship Title matches.

After the completion of the October Qualifiers, a small milestone for the VF Circuit was reached: Since the Circuit began, exactly 200 different people has participated in these online events! Here is hoping we will get more people to join our small community and keep fans of the VF game series active!

Sign-up Deadline is 15 minutes before the event start time. I will be doing a roll-call within 1 hour of event start time. Anyone not present at the start time will be removed from the brackets. Running of the event will be done on VFDC, check this thread, shoutbox, and status updates.

• For those already registered to the VF Circuit (from Season 1 or this Season) just reply in this thread which ones you will be participating in.

• For those not registered to the VF Circuit, please follow the directions in this link on sending your registration information.

• Format - Besides no character switching and standard number of rounds/health, you guys choose the format! When you guys signed up, please state whether you want: 1. Double Elimination format (2 out of 3) or 2. Round Robin (2 matches against each player) to Single Elimination (2 out of 3) format. Format will be determined before the weekend of the event.

• To alleviate some of the online issues we had with Season 1, we will be running the tournament without the use of the Room Mode. Matches are played in Player Match and the Replay Mode feature is used.

• RSVP has been disable, please reply in the thread to sign-up instead. In the previous event, I accidentally left people off the brackets; thus, I think it would be easier to put people in the brackets if they just reply in this thread.

Other Regions? (TBD) - Interested in playing in a league, but your region is not listed above? I'm more than happy to work with people to set up the league for other regions (for example, last year with Russian VFers). I just need people to have interest and at least 3 people who is willing to make an effort to meet and play.

 

Just to reiterate since the first post is very long...

When you guys signed up, please state the format of the tournament you preferred: 1. Double Elimination format (2 out of 3) or 2. Round Robin (2 matches against each player) to Single Elimination (2 out of 3) format. Format will be determined before the weekend of the event.

Also, please state whether you want to remove the upload replays as a rule from these events (you still should save all matches you played).

RSVP has been disable, please reply in the thread to sign-up instead. In the previous event, I accidentally left people off the brackets; thus, I think it would be easier to put people in the brackets if they just reply in this thread.

also, if you already know what character you will be using (no character switching), if you can post that information now, it will save me some stuff to do during the running of the event. Thanks.

• No Preference. 5 Vote

 

First person to sign-up thanks.

My goal for every future Circuit events: maintain the same number of participants or increase the number of participants compared to the previous month.

So for the November Qualifiers I would hope that both XBL and PSN Europe we can get at least 8 people together, PSN North America to get at least 16 people together, and XBL North America at least 32 people together.

I also will tally up people's tournament format choice in the second post

• Double Elimination Format - a standard format, most people in the fighting game community is familiar with.

• Round Robin to Single Elimination Format - everyone gets to play more matches but require a little bit more overhead to run.

Another question that I would like people to answer when they sign-up

2. Should the rule of uploading replays between matches during a tournament be removed (you still have to save all your matches)?

• Yes, prefer not to take the time to upload replays after a set of matches within a tournament.
• No, I would like the rule implemented so that I can obtain/view other people matches within the tournament.

 

Updated posts with the new sign-ups and votes. Thanks!

Yup, it would be simpler for me to just do double elimination (but don't vote it just because it will be easier on me ), but I think with round robin it is better for players of all levels and for the reason you wrote.

Of course if we have a lot of people participating and its round robin format, we will have to break it into more than one bracket.

 

Updated participants and poll votes as of now.

 

kingo - thanks for signing-up. Entry list-updated.

 

daRockReaper - yeah, sorry, can't get a time that works with everyone unfortunately.
