*UPDATED AGAIN!!!*
Also to you other Soul Cal Peeps, we are planning our Soul Calibur 5 League in advanced. I know this is super early before the release date 1/31/11, but it's better for us to get this started now bc I felt that our SC4 League was great, but I didn't have enough time to plan everything, so the motivation seemed to be lacking in the end with some members. Not this time.

Here is our Madison Soul Calibur 5 League!!!

Our Soul Calibur Community will be doing Madison's SC5 League, which will start around 1st week of February. Everyone who will participate in our tournament must be a member of our League. You will become a member by paying $25.00 by February. However, if you pay earlier, you will pay significantly less for the membership fee.

Here are the rates(a 1-time rate for membership); if you pay in the month of:
October-$10.00 (OH NO, OVER!!!):sc4nm1:
November-$12.00 (SS, CS, and then CF"D!!! NO MORE $12.00!!!!):sc2ivy1:
December-$15.00 (Pay NOW, and if you're nice I'll only charge $10.00, NANCHATTE, HURRY AND PAY, or X and Lex will crybaby you forever!!!!!!!):sc1xia1::sc2xia1::sc2xia12::sc2xia3:
January-$20.00
February-$25.00

Now many of you are asking, why this membership fee? What will we get out of this? This money will be used to buy awesome prizes. Like the last SC4 League, we will be splitting the players into tiers, Tier 1 and Tier 2, determined by skill of previous SC Tourneys and by primarily MysticBill and me. But unlike the SC4 League, after about 20 tournaments, we will have a Final 8 Tournament, with the 2 best Tier 1 and 6 Best Tier 2 players, where the top Tier 1 player and the top 2 Tier 2 players will win a prize, with the winner of the 8-man tourney getting to choose from:

-HD 23" Monitor TV ($250.00)
-PS3($250.00) OBTAINED!!!
-SCVArcade Stick ($175.00)
-Soul Calibur Collections-Artbooks, Figures, Trading Cards ($125.00)

I put a guesstimation of how much would be needed, and $1000.00 should be an easy target for us. Any leftover money will be used to help improve our community and help tier 2's enter bigger non-Madison Tourneys like in Chicago or in IA. My proposal is to during a non-Madison Tourney, the top tier 2 players in the prior wk will get the opportunity to go travel with MysticBill and me to a bigger tourney. $10 will go towards gas, and $10 will help the top Tier 2 pay for part of the entry/venue fee; the 2nd best has to pay his/her way. Additional money or funds will help others buy equipment that they may be lacking such as controllers.

THE FINAL 8-MAN Tournament:

*It's important to note that in order for a tier 1 player to win any prize, they HAVE to finish in the top 3. If both Tier 1 players finish 1 and 2, only the 1st place person will win a prize and the 2nd place will lose.* IN addition, if you do not pay the membership fee, you will not only be ineligible to enter the Final 8 Tourney, you will also have to pay a higher entry fee in order to enter the tournament, however, you will be eligible to split the pot in the weekly tourneys. The higher amount that you paid will go directly to the Ultimate prize pack in the 8-man tourney, not the weekly money pot. The fourth and final prize will be the "MOST IMPROVED" AWARD to the one that the SC Community feels has improved their game the most, but did not get a prize during the 8-man tourney.

POINTS SYSTEM:

Not paying for the membership will also affect your points that accumulate throughout the SC5 Series. The point system is going to be more complex than the SC4 tourney. Like the last tourney, you will be awarded points based on what your placement was: (example in an 8 man bracket) 7th place=1 point, 5th place-2 pts, 4th=3, 3rd=5, 2nd=7pts, 1st=9pts. That is still the same, but this time you are also rewarded for your wins. For each win in the winner's bracket you will get +2pts, but for each win in the loser's bracket you receive, you will only receive 1 point. Non-members will only receive half of their placement points, and one half of their points for their wins. To make it more interesting/strategic and to be forgiving of a possible awful performance in a tournament showing, anyone is allowed to pay $2.00 before the start of the tournament to double their point values ONE TIME ONLY, so think very strategically when you want to do this. This is like a lifeline. One what? ONE TIME ONLY!!! Also playing in a double elimination tournament, if an unseeded player beats a seeded player(4 seeds), they will get +2 bonus points. Seeds will be based on the previous week's results.

SPLITTING THE POT:

The payout: most tourneys, it's planned to be $3 for the entry fee. The pot will be split 60-20-10 (10% of the pot going to the ultimate prize pool)in a 4-8 person tourney,
but 9-14 ppl it will be split 50-25-10-5(10% of the pot will go for prize pool)
and 15+ ppl will be split 40-20-15-10-5 (10% of the pot will go to the prize pool) (the 2 t-5th players must fight each other to see who officially will get 5th)
Non-members will pay a $5 entry fee. (The additional 2 dollars will go to the Ultimate Prize pot)

There will be bi-monthly $15 tourneys that will be split 60-25-10-5, none of the entry will be used for the prize pool, but only the those who previously had paid their membership fee will split the pot.
Non-members will pay a $21 entry fee. (The additional $6 will go to the Ultimate Prize pot.)

Depending on my new schedule, I may have to show up to the events a bit late, like around 530 instead of 4. Being a manager is not as forgiving as people may think.....
 
I will bring my tv, ps3, a few wired controllers, and my copy of SSIVAE just in case they are needed. Should we try and run two games at once in order to move everything along a bit quicker?
 
Metallix will be bringing the following with her.

  1. PS2 system
  2. Generic PS2 D-pad controller
  3. PS2 Fighter stick
  4. PS2 memory cards
  5. Soul Calibur 2 :sc2xia3:
Khazak, iKotomi, and Anthony let me know 3-4 days before this event if you need a carpool ride. (To Khazak and Anthony mostly) I will not be making multiple trips back and forth.
 
All the weapons will be unlocked when I bring the system and game on over. :sc2sop3::sc2rap2: I am so happy that I get to play BlazBlue again (only played it for a very brief time when it was lent to me). :)
 
What is this BlazBlue game that I hear a great deal from some of you about? I never had to chance to play this game yet.
 
AkumaKaze: is that you Tim? If so I can use that for your player profile name instead of your first and last name.

Tom, thanks, Nat, also thanks. I found your Arcana hearts thingy, so remember to remind me to give it back to you. it's in the back trunk. OMG SC2!!!! Very excited....

BTW, to make it fair for as many players as possible, any SCV League tourney that's on Saturday, will be a night tourney that starts at 5:00pm, Sunday tourneys will also be at 5:00pm. I haven't made a list of tourneys that will be scheduled on Sunday, but the tentative schedule may change during the next post. The main objective will be to have SCV tourneys during the league. Any other tourneys ttt2, sciv, sf, or what not, will be after the tourney and will not always be 100% announced, unless we can get 10 ppl to show up for those tourneys.

Alright. My work days tends to be wonky, I won't be able to make it all the time or arrive late (that is if I have to work that day that is). But if I can't I will give you a ring or text.
 
I am going to be very busy for the next couple weeks with family stuff. Go ahead and eat it so that it does not go to waste. It would just make me fat anyway.
 
If I can make this, Continuum Shift Extend may have shipped in for me by then, and we can run Blazblue on that instead.

I think it's only of practical interest to people that already play the game now...but there are new characters and all the dlc characters from the previous game that I didn't buy back then will be in.
 
Sorry for Responding so late. Yes this is Tim Korklewski. Akuma Kaze is a nickname that I have had for a VERY long time. iKotomi, is your BB: CSE copy an import or an American version?
