SIGNUPS: N/A
BRACKETS (by seed):
CLICK HERE
This tournament will change the ladders (all proper matches count as regular ladder matches), and will determine seeds in future group tourneys and tournaments..

Please make sure you add all 15 other participants' friend codes into your friend list before the tournament (empty out list if needed!). The will speed up match-up processes.
Delaying the tournament in ill manner will not be permitted.

-Rules-
Matches will be Singles, best out of 3 matches (each match by default has 2-rounds-winner).
((Players need to play all 3 matches, unless the first 2 matches are won by one person, deciding the winner. If so, one or both person may reject the third match, an donly the two played matches will count as ladder matches.))
The winner of the previous match MAY NOT CHANGE THEIR CHARACTER. The loser of that previous match, however, can change their character if they want.
For each match (before selecting character), the host of the match will have to go onto the Options menu by pressing [start]] at the character selection screen, and turn off:
Obstacles [off]
Stage Transitions [off]
Latent Ninja Power [off]
Handicap [off]

*Host needs to press "A" after switching options OFF to confirm the save. Pressing START again to exit the options menu will cancel all changes.

Kankuro and Hiruko are banned.

No Stages are Banned.

-During Matches/Disqualifications-
If the host forgets to do this, re-do your matches ASAP (give them a signal such as walking forward or doing nothing). If the host continuously (multiple times in a row) does the same thing, and you cannot contact him whatsoever, the host may be disqualified.

In case of Internet Disconnection, please reconnect and try again. If the opponent disconnects multiple times while he's at a disadvantage (and there aren't much spikey lags or other evidence of horrible connection during other rounds and matches), that d/c'er may be disqualified.

No match that perfectly followed the rules will count towards the score whatsoever. Please redo the matches, ASAP.

When the tournament's block round end during your matches, whoever has the most MATCHES WON + the most ROUNDS WON on the present match advances (not HP). If the counts result in a draw, players may finish up that match.

Report match scores on the chat in this blog. PLEASE REPORT HOW MANY MATCHES YOU WON OUT OF THE 3. If the opponent disagrees on playing the 3rd match because s/he has already lost, you may not nag the opponent for more matches.

Ladder Board Ranking Thing Helpzz T^T

I'm sure someone's used to this kind of thing;;
So apparently, the new ladder system doesn't seem to work too well.
I don't mind it being absolutely inefficient, but the equation seems broken.
You seem to lose A LOT when you lose against an opponent on the same tier as you (which is bad).
The good thing is that when you lose to a much higher tier, you don't lose much, and when you lose to a lower tier, you lose quite a bit. OK;;
but the fact that you lose about 2 times the amount you would get from beating a guy on the same tier as you when you lose to the guy on the same tier sounds a bit harsh...
We'll probably run out of the numbers then lol

This is the equation as of now:
winr: new pt = curr + K(1 - opp.tier)
loser: new pt = curr + (winner's K)(0 - opp.tier)

[[opp.tier stands for opponent's tier value]]

K and tier values depend on tiers:
A tier, K=10, tier value .2
B tier, K=16, tier value .2
C tier, K=24, tier value .5
D tier, K=32, tier value .7
E tier, K=32, tier value .9
If you think about it, it's kinda stupid too.
Can someone fix up this formula? :D

Done Drooling Over Yet? Groupt Mini Tourney Results

Good job everyone!
Seems like Double elim. isn't so bad :D
Character bans worked out nicely too,
6 out of 8 people showed up (thats 50% better than the last mini tourney;;),
but reporting own scores didn't work out- oh well.

Congratz to Narutix, Hanyunanodesu, and SMbrawler~
