So I know some of you by now are perfectly ready to beat me over the head with something heavy and metallic from my repeated posts about our totally awesome upcoming Street Fighter 4 tournament on our fine site here.  However, I realized while it has been discussed on comments how this grand ol’ tourney will be run, it has not been officially published in a post on the site and since the days till the tournament begins are winding down I thought never was there a better time!

So I am basically running this tournament more or less by myself when it comes to setting up the ladder, drawing the random opponents who will face each other in the matches, however, I have received a lot of greatly appreciated help from other staff members in getting the word known.  Special thanks to the site owner Stan Spaeth for making the prize possible and our editor Jon Huie for setting up this cool new section of the site for tournament news.  On that note I would like to announce that we will have an additional section of the website that will commemorate those brave few who will place first in the Amped Tournaments!

As for how this tournament will be run, while building the tournament ladder random draw will decide who will be opponents in the first round.  The tournament will not progress until a specified date when we will automatically move on to the next round.  I will set this date for the sake of keeping the tournament moving.  However, when that date comes to pass (it will probably be around the area of two weeks per round) there will be a grace period where people who have not yet had their match have a few days to post the winner while others get on with the tournament or they will be disqualified and one member of that match will receive a buy in to the next round as determined by random draw.

On the note of matches, you guys will be entirely responsible of setting them up and having them by yourselves.  We can’t administer that since there is no physical location of this tournament.  We will treat all posted answers as official unless the opponent disputes the outcome in which case we will provide a grace period in which to have the match redone or one of you will move on by random draw.  Not that this will happen of course since I know you guys will all be of the utmost sportsman like in behavior, but we still have to have a contingency policy.  The rules for the match itself are quite simple, you must use the character you signed up for the tournament with and the match itself will consist of a standard 3 round match, winner moves on.  It is important to note that you guys can have as many practice rounds as possible.

A new post will be put up for each new round of the tournament, with an image of the tournament ladder, I will keep track of the progress by asking that the results of each match be posted as a comment on the page of that round.  I will update the image of the tournament ladder every time a new result is posted, in this way you’ll be able to keep up to date with the results of the tournament as they happen.  When the winner of this tournament is decided, he will receive an email from either me or John Huie(our Editor in Chief) with the code for your 1600 Microsoft Points and asking what info you would like put up about yourself on the Page of Champions (note: name is still being decided, hah).

Keep it fun guys and when you post results it would be cool if you could be a little descriptive about the match and your opponents play style so the staff can have some fun with it as well.

For The Emperor!
