[15 Sep 2012] VF Circuit PS3 League September Major (Online PSN)

In the first post, I mentioned four divisions. The Russian VF players joining the Circuit will also have their own division now (no guarantees of Mad Catz prizes for the Russian division, at this moment).

Also to note, when people get their group PMs for the tournament, there will be a question of some sort. Answer/Reply to it for a chance to get the U-be - Inspired by you Prize (a box of smoothie berry barz).

 

SNAKE BOSS - Please stop spamming my inbox and the thread with the same questions. Notice how everyone that have posted do not spam the thread the same way that you do? Notice how if their question is not answered within a couple minutes, they don't go spamming? Please read the first post in this thread. If you done everything correctly as posted, you are fine.

 

hurtfulthings - thanks for the notice. If you and all the other "maybes" can respond as soon as possible that would be great. If it will be last minute - I will try to make a standby list.

Less than 24 hours to confirm participation in the Saturday PS3 September Major! Don't be late in signing up, if you are interested in participating.

 

Sign-Up deadline has ended. RSVP system discontinued. Any late sign-ups are not guaranteed.

 

I will make a group conversation about it, but it is confirmed that both you and Shou are in for Saturday night...it would be a quick major!

 

The format of the tournament is explained in more detail - here. I am re-posting it here also:

The format of the Major Events are divided into sections. Depending on number of participants, it may slightly vary per division.

Round Robins - Each person plays each opponent twice within the bracket. Everyone plays the round robin in the order that is shown in the challonge bracket. After completing one match against each person, repeat the round robin for the second match (in the challonge bracket - "add a game" to add a second match). The winner of each bracket based on win-loss-tie record advances. Depending on the number of brackets and size of the division the second pace finisher either advances to the 2 out of 3 single elimination event, go to a wild card stage, or does not advance. In cases of identical records, a one match tie-breaker would be done.

Wid Card (if needed) The players. Everyone plays a round robin of 1 match only. In cases of identical records, a one match tie-breaker would be done.

Single Elimination - Two out of Three Matches.

Please make sure to quickly update results so that the tournament can move forward as quickly as possible.

Turnout for PS3 Major came out less than expected.

Japan Division - 2 out of 3 match between the two players (unless there is a last minute entry). If so a round robin, then top 2 do 2 out of 3 matches. (Points scale: 2-1)

Russia Division - 2 brackets of 4 players each. Top 2 from each bracket advances to single elimination tournament. (Points scale: 4-3-2-1)

Europe Division - 2 brackets of 5 players each. Top 2 from each bracket advances to single elimination tournament. (Points scale: 4-3-2-1)

I will be posting countdown timers for start time (see original first post), in a couple of hours.

 

Countdown timer for Major start time posted, updated first post.

The plan is to have brackets sent to players with at least 4 hours before your bracket/major start time.
