To all of you nay-sayers...I say..."...sorry I took so long".
SPONSORSHIP
With Nick (MBLZ)'s persistance, we have acquired the sponsorship of RoXoR games, and Red Octane.
Nick and I recently conferenced with a representative from RoXoR, and have been making plans for SM05. Chris Foy (developer and exhibitionist from RoXoR) is possibly making an appearence at our tournament to sell merchandise, sign autographs, and do a freestyle exhibition.
We have also gotten the sponsorship of Red Octane, and we are in the works of trying to get Afterburner pads donated to the event.
Finally, I will be purchasing a few ITG home version units for PS2, to distribute at the event as potential prizes. In addition to an ample prize pot (ranging in the hundreds for the various placings in the divisions) We hope to have Mr. Foy sign the copies of the home version given away as prizes.
ENTRY
ITG - $20.00
DDR - $15.00
Intermediate Division - $10.00 (Will take place on console)
Spectation - $5.00 (going toward the cost of renting the banquet hall, and the arcade machines)
The divisions will be Expert for both ITG and DDR, to take place on Arcade units, for certain, but in addition, it will depend on the signup [regarding interest for which game] that determines which game will be played on the consoles for an intermediate division. We will have 2, maybe 3 arcade units on hand, so it all depends on what we have ON HAND hardware wise the day of the gathering. Time is an issue.
HOW IT'S GOING TO GO DOWN
Here's a real NICE thing that we've got going for us..
Powerplay's management was gracious enough to allow us to use their banquet hall/conference room for this... if any of you have seen this room, you know what I mean, if you haven't, imagine a room like a half sized gymnasium... plenty of room. The best part.. we will be projecting the main event (DDR or ITG) on the far wall for ALL spectators to see.
We already have clearence for Bacon to bring video recording equipment, and have even received suggestions of ways to transmit the videos onto the T.V.'s broadcasting in the main area of the Fun Center.
The Buffet will be opened for use throughout the day, and we will try to get discounts for tournament partcipants (al'a the nametag gets you the discount, you don't get the tag without paying etc)
Management has also told us we will be given prizes to distribute, as their contribution to the tournament. Such things as pre-paid gaming cards (with like $20 on it) and other various items that the arcade gives away through redemption. A nice contribution, I'd say.
DIVISIONS:
All tournaments will be double elimination.
All tournaments will have a qualifier (DDR will have one, and ITG will have one) (except the beginners division, which will be random seeding)
RULES
DDR
DDR will be a modifier tournament. Each player will select a song, and their opponent will select modifiers. Modifiers will have limitations that will be delegated as 'suicide' combinations. Those will be updated in here, and may be subject to change at the discretion of the staff.
ITG
ITG will be a Percentage tournament. Each player will select a song, and their opponent may not force mod choices (unless demand is high and rules are changed) Whomever has the highest percentage after their selected song will win a point.
MATCH POINTS
Dance points will be Perfects x 2 + G + OK's, Dance Points will decide who wins the song. Each song victory will delegate 1 point toward your score. The first player to obtain 2 points will win the match.
QUARTER-SEMI finals
The first player to obtain 3 points will win the match
FINAL MATCH
The first player to obtain 5 points will win the match
This system will apply to both DDR and ITG.
All divisions are double elimination.
PRIZES
Depending on our sponsors, the prize options will be subject to change, but here's what we will likely have on hand.
(2) copies of ITG for PS2 home version
(1) Red Octane: Afterburner home pad
entry pot
Prize distribution from pot: (We will be taking some for administrative purposes)
1st place: 60%
2nd place: 30%
3rd place: 10%
This will apply to all divisions.
The Staff of Spring Madness would like to extend our thanks to the management of Powerplay for accomodating our desire to run this tournament, our inside man, Mr. Novasonic, and all of our faithful patrons who have been infinately patient with us, and have kept us on the ball. We'll hope to make it as big, or bigger, than past tournaments have been.
In addition I'd like to thank
our sponsors, RoXoR Games, and Red Octane. Tina (Neodagagrrl) for her excellent flyer,
Nick (MBLZ) for his dedication in gaining us sponsorship,
Jared (PhoenixTPI) for his excellent work with maintenance of pads,
bacon, for his always vigilant efforts with his video recording and distribution
and all of YOU, for making these tournaments so awesome, fun, and exciting to run and be a part of. Without the patronage of the competitors, the intensity that goes into these things wouldn't exist. Much love and appreciation to all of you
HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE 12th!
