DC KOF XIII Online Tournament - 5/5/2012 (NA & EU)

[solidshark]

Planning the May tournaments in advance to the first May tourney will be a week after the last April set (5/5). Those who maybe can't make it to April's, May is lined-up and ready for you. But if you can make both, even more awesome. Also to note, I'm trying out the same tournament format for the Europe on the same day, so if you're in the UK, France, Spain, etc., we're having a tournament ready for you too.



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 - April 28th (Saturday) starting for North America at 1:00 PM PST, 2:00 PM MT, 3:00 PM CST, or 4:00 PM EST. For Europe, it starts at 4:00 PM BST or 5:00 pm CEST. 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 - Because the netcode patch has really made a different with the online experience for KoF XIII, and it's worth doing this to get everyone playing more.

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 and sign in with psn_ or xbl_ in front of your DC name (example: psn_solidshark). 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!

Are you a player, or a spectator (considering Xiaohai though, it's fine to be either)

I'm completely worthless at this game/ all fighting games, so if anyone is having trouble with my characters, I won't be of any help. Hopefully I'll learn a bit from you guys.
