F.A.Q

What countries can participate?

This is open only to U.S. residents (Sorry Canada)

What happens if the match is laggy?

You should replay the match using a new host. If that doesnt work attempt to reconnect until you have a stable enviroment. If you cant, put in a ticket and have the match negated. If it happens in the bracket stage, you can try the new host again but ultimately will have to play it out.

Color Edits on Default Characters? Those are O.K as long as they don't serve as something that no longer makes the characters appear how they should normally in the game. Faces should be visible and nothing else that would obstruct the characters identity should be added. This means no hoods, masks, face paint, horns etc.

Create a Soul Characters?

No

Will this count for seeding or invitation to MLG Anaheim?

No. Although anyone that wins or participates is able to sign up for MLG Anaheim. Personally my opinion is no player that wins an online tournament should be seeded in an offline one.

How do we play the matches? Is their a Colloseum?

I think that we would do Player Match, but Colosseum might be easier.

 

does anybody know how to report matches?! This website is unnecessarily difficult

EDIT: NM, think I found it

 

Strange...I've reported the scores for all my battles, but I don't seem to be on the standings. Do I have to wait 'til my opponent also reports? If so, blugh. <x<

I still have no idea. Could you share please?

Stupid, stupid website.

Yes, both have to report.

You can only report a match after the time you specified for that match passes. So for anyone doing them earlier you'll have to wait. Than on the REPORT page, on the right they'll be a Report Score button.

 

Finally figured out how to navigate this website. Let the lag battles continue.

 

I still have no idea. Could you share please?

Stupid, stupid website.

Click on a match you participated in, then look for the Report Score button on the right. Hope that helps. :)

Okay, thanks. I didn't see the match on my dashboard before.

 

can you still register? and exactly how do you go about doing that if you can?

EDIT:

disregard. i figured it out.

 

Didn't realize how this tournament worked until now. Well, I guess I'm in.

I have a few questions:

What exactly do we do if they do not show up? I don't see how we can prove that.
What do we do if they don't show up AND they say they won? They can just say YOU didn't show up
How laggy is too laggy? 2 bars or less?

 

What exactly do we do if they do not show up? I don't see how we can prove that.

Report the match as a no show. You can't prove a negative, but you shouldn't have to. It ought to be up to them to prove the match actually happened.

What do we do if they don't show up AND they say they won? They can just say YOU didn't show up

Again, report as a no show. I imagine it'll just be left disputed if you both claim the other didn't show.

How laggy is too laggy? 2 bars or less?

Yeah, I'd say 2 bars or less is about right. I believe you can cancel or submit a ticket to have the match negated.

 

I'm trying to provide video proof of someone failing to come to my match on time. He's still missing and my video isn't showing up on the MLG site, how much time does it take for the video to be watched online?

EDIT: I just made a private video on YouTube, I hope that helps..

 

Dang Ragnarok, you're tearing through everyone. I think there's only one thing to do.

PS PLZ NERF VIOLA!

 

How do you schedule your own match, does anyone know this? I feel like a chicken with my head cut off with all these questions.

Gotta go here, and then "Create a challenge on the Match Finder".

 

It wont let me register and says there are no SCV online tournaments

 

There are no listing tournaments for SC. I've already created an account.
