Please BYOC, I cannot allow ppl to use my controller anymore with the amount of mashing and abuse that goes on my poor controller, HAI HAI. I will not be lending anyone my controller this time around. We will have 3-4 setups. I will bring my CRT. There is another crt at the wok. And we can use another setup or 2, hd or crt is fine. However, if a player wants an hd tv and the opp wants a crt, the crt will be the chosen station for the 2 to fight on.

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!!!)
November-$12.00 (SS, CS, and then CF"D!!! NO MORE $12.00!!!!)
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!!!!!!!)
January-$20.00(PAY NOW AND I'll JOIN, NOT!!! TOO LATE) SO SORRY!!!February-....$20.00(this is the standard membership fee. Pay for the PRIZE of JUSTICE)HURRY JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL
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 ($170.00)-OBTAINED

-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 points, but that will take effect immediately, when they pay for their league fee. 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 pot)

There will be bi-monthly $10 tourneys that will be split 60-25-10-5, none of the entry will be used for the prize pool.

Non-members will pay a $15 entry fee. (The additional $6 will go to the pot.)

FRAME DATA TEST:
Each player has the choice to pick the character they are maining. Everyone will start off with 10 TEST points, OMG!!!! There will be 25 total questions. Each question will have a move from that particular character's moveset. You need to be able to identify how many frames it takes for that move to be executed. If you are right +5pts. If you are wrong minus the number of frames you are off.

In the end, if your total score is above 0 TEST pts, divide that number by 5, and that will be your score plus how many ranking points you will receive. A perfect test will be 135 test pts divided by 5= 27 ranking points, plus the 1st place pot. If your score is negative, divide the number of TEST pts by 10 and that is how many points you will lose. GOOD LUCK!!!

EVERYONE will be tested on their main character's standard:

*NOTE* to be fair, since it would be unfair to administer a test to myself, the following players Ora, iKotomi, and Phil Bond will have the pleasure of creating the frames test for me. BRING IT!!!!

I have to do the exam as well, even through I have not been to all the tournaments (due to my job)?!

(Please don't get angry with me) ::Honestly worried about how I am going to do.:: :\

Would it be helpful to come in early to do the exam before the tourney or will it be after?

eithr way, no pressure, but whenever YOU are ready or it. I haven't even had the time to study, so you may do better than me as well. This may be an interesting test tourney, so anything can happen. Remember to be on the more conservative side if you don't wanna lose any points!!!

Do you need our VCR again to record additional matches? You have enough VHS tapes or you need for me to get some?
