hey guys, me and my bro were talking and he let me know what the az crew is going to start doing to train for evo and to just overall get better. it seems like a pretty kool concept let me know what you guys think. of course there will be some changes etc. like if we do do this we should atleast have one casual station for people who just wanna have fun and not take it to seriously etc.
For right now, these sessions will be capped at 15 people, If interest grows and demand is there, we will try to incorporate more stations. You must RSVP with Dorion(Jaeronmerc). Just showing up will not be tolerated. If you dont RSVP with him via PM on SRK and get confirmation, don't bother showing up, expecting to play. The 15 player cap is in place so the rotations do not get too long, but its long enough to motivate you to win to keep out of the rotation.
3 sf4 stations separated by skill leve(may add more stations if demand is there and if it's possible, with the limited space.)
station A: advanced (5 players)
station B: intermediate (5 players)
station C: beginner (5 players)
RULES:
1. The first session, myself, or Dorion will determine where each player belongs. At the end of the first session, the station you finished at, is where you will start the following week. new players will have to start in the beginners station. If people from the advanced and intermediate stations don't show up, we will bump up the best performers from the previous session, to fill the slots.
players that will be in the advanced station starting the first session are:
1. Danimitsu
2. JBA
3. Sabre
4. SNK
5. dorion
back up players(in case someone from advanced does not show up to the first session):
1. Rickdawg
2. SugaShane
This is based off overall local tourney results and are the most consistent top 5 placers. I will assign the remaining slots the day of based on who's there.
2. King of the Machine(KOTM) format will be used on all three stations. One person on each station will be responsible for recording all wins. Someone else will takeover record keeping if the original keeper gets demoted to the next station(demotions will be explained further down.)
3. Arcade mode will be used! This mode will be used so the winner cannot keep switching characters to counter each upcoming opponenet. This gives the challengers a chance to beat that character that's streaking.
4. Promotion/Demotion Match: After an hour, the person with the most wins in station B and C will challenge the player with the least amount of wins in the next ranked station(best player in station C will challenge worst player in station B, and the best player from B will challenge the worst in A.). the promotion matches will be best 2 out of 3 matches
5. If the player from the lower station defeats the player from the higher station, that player will be promoted to the next station, and the loser will be demoted. If the player up for promotion loses his/her match, that person will be banned from promotion matches for the rest of the night. Basically, I will stop keeping track of your wins for the rest of the night.
6. If you are constantly the worst player in the beginner bracket week after week. You will be pulled to the side, and a possible ban may happen. This will be on a case by case basis. It is possible that the other beginners are also learning at the same rate as you. So if I see improvement atleast, you will not be banned. If you constantly get 0 wins, there is a problem, and it probably means you are more of a casual player. It's nothing personal, and there's nothing wrong with being casual. But these sessions are for serious training to become better, and this may not be for you.
7. If you RSVP and repeatedly fail to show without plenty of notice time, you are subject to banning for an un-specified amount of time. We will not tolerate flakey people that fail to show up, and effectively killing a slot for the whole night. You must give us plenty of notice time to cancel your RSVP so we have time to let people know that we have an available slot that someone else can fill. We understand real life gets in the way, just please let us know, ASAP!
8. Grudge/rival matches: coming soon. awaiting ideas. can use some feedback here.
