Tekken 6 Tournament

Basic Tournament Guide

Players are strongly encouraged to pre-register: It ends up being $5 cheaper, will help the event organizers plan ahead better, and the players also get TWICE the number of raffle drawing tickets if they pre-register as opposed to paying their venue fee at the door. http://www.jetcityretro.org/

Players must bring their own wired controller. Wired pads are fine, but if you don't have a controller and you are called to your match, you have 5 minutes to be ready to play or face disqualification. So be prepared and stay near your tournament area! Wireless controllers are not allowed.

Paying at the door however is perfectly fine. All players, whether pre-registered or not, should go immediately to the sign in table. This way they can get their raffle tickets, get their name badge, and pay for all the tournaments they will participate in.

Tournament fees are as follows:

$10

100% of all tournament fees go to the winners, the venue is paid by the venue fee

The prize pots will be split 70/20/10 amongst the top three placers in all games.

Battle For Seattle tournaments will follow a double elimination tournament format. This means that every player starts out in the winner's bracket, and continues until their first loss, where they enter the loser's bracket and play other players who have lost once. If you lose against two different opponents, you are out of the tournament. Matches will generally follow the Evolution tournament rules and format.

Players who are not currently involved in a tournament are encouraged to go across the hall and check out the Freeplay Zone which has many classic consoles on freeplay, and also the main hall which will have tons of games and systems and miscellanea for sale and trade. These are all included in your venue fee, so take advantage of them!

-For many new players, pausing mid-match can be a problem. If you pause, your opponent can choose to make you forfeit that round if he or she chooses. So make sure you are careful with your mashing, or if you have a TE stick to use the TOURNAMENT LOCK switch.

-Be early to get some casual practice in, you usually don't want your first game of the day to be your first match.

-Make sure you know who is in charge of the part of the bracket you are in. That volunteer will tell you who you play against, and at which station. When you are not playing a match, make sure to stay in that general area so that you can hear if you are called.

-Play your best, and remember to have fun!
