[jimmypikachuchoi]

OMG, yeah that's right. Transcending History Madison's Tale of Souls and sword eternally retold continues.....with our 2nd SCV tourney. This adventure continues after a successful gathering of 20 souls from all over the lands of Wisconsin and Chicago and IA. Sadly one soul will be leaving us to go to the land of Indiana...:( MysticBill, we'll miss you.
Just because one of Madison's best fighters is gone, some players are emerging and evolving(NOT IN A POKEMON SENSE), but are Gettin Better. Come challenge Madison's best and help support our community as well. This is a league event and big prizes will be given out at the end of our 20 week tourney. We will only be having SCV as a tourney. All other games will get 2nd priority, and may not even be played. New players are welcome.

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-....$25.00(this is the standard membership fee. Pay for the PRIZE of JUSTICE) ​

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.​

Non-members will pay a $21 entry fee. (The additional $6 will go to the Ultimate Prize pot.)​

[Pouncer]

I will not be able to make it to this one due to work.

Jimmy or Anduril: Would one of you mind giving Metallix a carpool to the venue? Anduril if your able to (since your closer to us) mind doing this favor for me? I won't have time to do it myself since I start at 3pm. Give me a message in text or call me both of you know my number.

It is iffy if I'll make it in time to carpool her back home afterwork (lately finishing late due to V-Day holiday coming up).

 

[Ikkaku_Madarame]

i won't know if i have that day or not until thursday or friday. i will need a carpool on over to the event. i do not know which bus goes to that place.

 

[Metallix]

I want to be there. I would need a carpool ride there and back (due to Pouncer's hours). :( I know I am not a tier 1 player or an important person in this community. :\ I'd like to offer my serivces to help out with the doubles event (to help take the load off Jimmy while he is running singles event). ^.^

These public pleas for attention are not subtle or acceptable. You need to stop bringing "woe is me, nobody loves me" pity parties to 8wayrun. Our group is a friendly, casual, loose-knit organization, but you expect too much of us. Just because we all like the same game, that doesn't mean that we all automatically have close, emotional friendships with each-other. Madison's threads on this website have been too often dominated by your creepily intimate TMI drama fests. Soul Calibur competition isn't a job, but as a rule of thumb, next time you want to get publicly sad, ask yourself whether what you're saying would be acceptable in a workplace, because our shared environments need to have a semi-professional atmosphere in order to welcome all kinds of players: i.e. newcomers and other non-regulars.

 

[Outlaw]

Let me preface this with a disclaimer: I am in no way trying to attack or gang up on you Metallix, but I'm inclined to agree with PhilBond, here. This is a fun competetive league, not a place to solicit sympathy or complain publicly about personal problems. If you have a legitimate complaint or issue about the league itself then by all means you are free to voice your opinion, but this is not the time or place to passive aggressively complain about how you think people don't like you. It does not frame you or our league in a good light when you try to guilt the rest of the community into trying to be your best friend and/or feeling sorry for you. We are here to play Soul Calibur, and this website is a place to discuss the game with people of like minds. So if you enjoy the game, play it. Come to tournaments and have fun playing against people. But please stop with the guilt trips, because not only are you causing yourself undue stress by doing this, you are alienating the rest of the community as well.

On a tournament related note: I will be there, and I will be sure to bring my setup again. Speakers and all this time.

 

[Pouncer]

Metallix is trying to help out with the community. By being a productive member in it by helping out. Yet EVERYTIME YOU Phil Bond, the other elistest gaming snobs of the league snub your noses down on her!

Phil Bond and the other elistest gaming snobs can FUCK OFF!

This has nothing to do with the belief that anyone is better at the game than Natasha. You are missing the point. This is about conducting yourself in a proper manner. I can't speak for anyone else, but I want Natasha to be able to come to tournaments and have a good time. However, this sort of behavior is unacceptable. I'm glad that she wants to help the community, and although I have no say in how or when the tournaments are run, I'm sure Jimmy would be willing and able to let her contribute and help out in some way. Just please understand that this is not the time or place for posts like that.
