The first August online tournament for this month will be on the 11th, this Saturday.
What - An online matchmaking casual tournament event for KoF XIII Online. It will be FT10 (4 points), FT7 (3 points), or FT5 (2 points) matchings (optional FT3 [1 point] are optional in case the connection isn't stable enough from the beginning). All players will agree at the beginning of the match on # of matches. In case connections become totally unplayable, matches will be reduced to when both players agree to stop (example: a FT10 can turn into a FT5 or FT3 if it becomes unplayable). All players wins will be tallied, ranked and posted at the end. It is recommended you try to play as many different people as possible, but you are allowed to rematch with previous opponents.
When - May 19th (Saturday) starting for
North America at 1:00 PM PST, 2:00 PM MT, 3:00 PM CST, or 4:00 PM EST.
There is no penalty for being late, but of course it's better to be on time go get more action in. The tourney typically lasts 3 hours, but can go on longer if participants are still amped.
Why - The KOF community is growing around the country, and around the world, and online is a big component in getting players, newcomers and vets, into the fold. The more players we have, the merrier, and the stronger we become.
Who - Anybody! Doesn't even have to be DC members. Play anyone you like. Invite them to DC or chat with them wherever. Doesn't matter who is playing so long as people PLAY!
Where - Games will be played on PSN/XBL (obviously) but players are encouraged to meet up in the
Main KOF 13 Online Chat Lobby. If you cannot make it there (or really prefer other means) then use PSN chats or XBL parties. Skype is an option, however I do recommend doing as LITTLE on your internet connection as humanly possible in order to have a more solid, stable, online experience. Remember to do WIRED in as well: wireless NOT recommneded!
