Ladies and gentlemen in the greater DFW, tx area, by way of introduction, I am Ken Davis, and I run the Fort Worth Classic series of fighting game tournaments. This year, I want to expand into other genres of games, and at the top of my list is racing with GT5.
If you don't know how a tournament works, please let me know via e-mail, and I will forward you the explanation that I gave Jordan.
The relevant data that you need to know
DateSeptember, 24th 2011
Venue:
Evolution Games
6212 McCart Ave
Fort Worth TX. 76133
Note: It is in the same shopping complex as Little Cesar's and Cousin's BBQ.
Games and Fees
Tournament Tip: A Tournament Organizer is not a bank. Please bring exact change for all of your tournament needs BEFORE entering the venue. Thank you.
Venue fee(the fee that helps pay the venue): $10
I will cut the venue fee in half if you provide a console with all tournament games, a TV and a power strip/surge protector and WE USE IT! I will make every reasonable effort to not turn away set ups for the tournament. Do keep in mind that we have limited space available for set ups, so you may be turned away on the discount.
Tournament tip: Label, label, label everything with your name.
Showcase Games
Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition - $10
Gran Turismo 5 (1v1) - $5
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: HD Remix (2v2)- $5
All fees are not refundable, and there is a "Two Drink Minimum" for observers. Can soda is $.50, so a $1 minimum purchase.
Payouts
All payouts are the total entry fee pot split into percentages to the top three finishers. The pot split for all games is 70% for first, 20% for second, and 10% for third or their entry fee back whichever is greater.
The Rules
Venue Rules
1. No Outside food or drinks are allowed at any time.
2. Keep Language to PG-rated levels. Remember, the venue is trying to get the trust of the locals.
Definitions
Bracket- A flow chart indicating who should play who at any point in the tournament. The completely deterministic nature of a bracket ensures fair play. Most tournaments at this convention will use double elimination brackets.
Match- A pairing between two people in the bracket. The two people play each other until a winner is determined. For example, the final Match in in the tournament determines who gets 1st and who gets 2nd. A Match is usually 2 out of 3 games. The term "set" is interchangeable with match.
Game- A Game is just what you think it is a single game between 2 players. For example, a game in Super Turbo is over when someone wins 2 out of 3 rounds. A game of Capcom vs SNK 2 is over when one player loses his last character. Make sure you understand the difference between a Match and a Game!
The Tournament Director- The person responsible for running the whole event. In this event, Me.
Judge- The Director has a lot of people helping him. These people usually watch over Matches and help to resolve conflicts. Thus, those people are called Judges. They are tournament officials. While they can help to resolve conflicts, the Director is the ultimate authority in making sure the rules are enforced.
Tournament Format
All brackets that are under 32 people are a straight double elimination bracket. If there is over 32 people, even if it is just a single player, the format shifts to EVO-style pools. If a full bracket is not possible(less than 8 people), the tournament format will shift to Round Robin.
For 33-64 players: there will be 4 pools where the top 4 players in said pool will advance to a final 16-man double elimination bracket. Any losses that are obtained in pools will carry over into the final bracket.
For over 64 players: there will be 8 pools where the top 2 players in said pool will advance to a final 16-man double elimination bracket. Any losses that are obtained in pools will carry over into the final bracket.
General Rules
Bracket Seeding- All players in the tournament will be seeded by city/region. To the best of our ability, we will place players in the bracket in a manner that minimizes the chances of them playing against someone who lives in close physical proximity to them. This increases the likelihood that you will play against players whom you have not played against before. At no time will there be any seeding by skill. Skill, a lot of times, is mostly based on reputation and at no time will there be any undue advantage given because of reputation.
Example of an improper seeding- Justin Wong, a top Street Fighter player in the US that lives in California, registered for the Street Fighter 4 tournament with John Choi, also a top Street Fighter player from California. Later Mew2King(sorry for this -Sanji), a Brawl Player signed up with other Brawl people from around the country for an eight man bracket, including two people from California. When the bracket is seeded, Choi and Wong play the two people from California in the first round and not play each other until the winners finals.

When the brackets are seeded, all of the California people play their first round matches with Wong and Choi winning. The bracket then proceeds until all of the California people play each other in the winner's and loser's finals, respectively.
1. Prizes for each game will be distributed immediately following the tournament at hand.
2. A match for all tournaments are best 2 out of 3 games/songs, ect.(unless specified). All Finals matches are best of five games.
3. I am all for casuals, but you must register BEFORE you play.
4. Any grievous misconduct will result in you being removed from the premises without a refund and any prize money that is won surrendered. This includes, but not limited to, drinking, smoking(in building), gambling on matches, and disrespecting and arguing with staff(for both The Classic and the venue).
5. Hardware macros are strictly prohibited. You may only use the macros that are available in the in-screen configuration menu.
6. An accidental pause of the game may result in forfeiture of the game at the judges digression.
7. You must bring your own controller for any console that the game is played on. Converters may or may not be offered for any console that requires them(ie: PS2 to DC and PS2 to PS3. If you wish to play pad, you MUST use the console default, or an officially licensed controller(usb cables must be used on PS3 and 360 controllers). Even though Wii will be used for Smash, You MUST use Gamecube controllers.
8. Wireless controllers are strictly forbidden. If you bring one, it will be seized by the tournament director and a corded controller will be provided in its place. Return of the controller will happen if you return the controller that was provided. Wavebirds are not exempt from this rule.
9. There is zero tolerance for theft. If caught stealing, a police report will be filed with the proper authorities, and will be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.
10. Double Blind selection may be called by the judge for any reason and any game may be replayed at the tournament directors digression, even if it was the last game in a match.
11. Equipment failures are subject to a three person panel that will consist of the Tournament Director, the head judge, and one person deemed an expert in the game at hand, using EVO standards as a guideline. If the equipment failure was reported by a player, and the panel ruled against him, the match is forfeited. Judges can report equipment failures on behalf of the player. If the panel rules for the player, the equipment is ordered to be replaced with a padded controller and the match is ordered to be replayed with the same characters and settings. Regardless of what the panel rules, if the judge convenes the panel for the player, the match is ordered to be replayed with the same characters and settings.
12. Rules violations must be reported the instant the violation is made(within reasonable standards). The Classic will use the yellow card system when issuing rule violation penalties(Yellow card will forfeit the match and a red card will disqualify you). If a player falsely(or ignorantly) reports a rule violation, then they will be issued a yellow card. You will have a clean slate for each tournament.
13. Unless otherwise specified, any team tournaments are a "Winner Stays" tournament.
