Modarius
...any further staff volunteers would be appreciated. Please get in touch with me if you are willing to help run events, host people, or otherwise help out with this event.
Housing:
I have space to host at least 6 people for this event; if you want to stay with me I would advise bringing blankets/a pillow/a sleeping bag if possible. I'm working on getting more furniture down here, as well as some carpeting, but as it stands my basement has a stone floor. If you'd like to stay at my place, get in touch with me. Otherwise, there are a lot of hotels within 5 minutes of FFC. If anyone else in the area can host people for this event, please let me know.
Equipment disclaimer:
Neither I nor FFC will take responsibility for any stolen items, although we will try to ensure it doesn't happen. If you bring a GameCube/GC controllers/any bemani controllers, you are responsible for keeping an eye on them. I would also suggest putting your name on anything which you bring with for extra safety.
If you are willing to donate any controllers, TVs, game systems, video games, or anything else for use in this event, please contact me and let me know.
Tournament schedule: TBA
Food/Beverages:
We are working with FFC to see if we can get discounted pizza/snack/beverage pricing. There are a large number of other restaurants/fast food places in a very near vicinity to FFC, as well as several grocery stores.
Prizes:
There will be cash prizes for the top 3 placers in each tournament as well as special bemani-related prizes for the top ranker in each bemani tournament. The pot for all tournaments will be split 60/25/5%, with the other 10% going to FFC for hosting it.
Tournament rules:
Disclaimer: These rules can be changed at any time if neccesary; if they are, however, I will post here saying that they were changed. Additionally, if a tournament is not possible because of a lack of time or non-functioning equipment, I reserve the right to cancel that tournament. We are doing everything possible to have EVERYTHING in perfect working order in time for this though, so take it as an "if" and not a "when".

Sets: There are no rules regarding character picking. For the first match in a set, players can either agree on a level or let the game do it for you (The random stages are listed below). After that, the loser of the round will be able to counterpick for the next round. Before each match players may ban a stage.
Each set is best of 3 matches; Semifinals are best of 5 matches; Finals are best of 7 matches
In the unlikely event that the final in a set ends in a tie (as a result of time running out), the match will be decided by who has the most stock. If both players have even stock, then it's by damage; one player has 300%, one has 50%. Guess who wins. In the VERY unlikely event that both players have even percentage (that's impossible unless you're noobs and shoot eachother with Fox until 999%, but I have to cover this anyway), the players will go to SUDDEN DEATH in Special Melee, set the stock to 1, and start a bonus match on the same stage.
Items will be set to NONE
In the event of an equipment malfunction, the match will be restart from the last known position or from any point in the match that is agreed upon by the players.
Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the match or makes it in any way unfinishable are banned. Using them will result in the immediate forfeit of the match.
Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. Judges will be on the tournament floor and can be called in at any time to enforce this rule during a match.
Please do not bring any modded controllers because you will be disqualified if you use them in a tournament match. Nintendo Standards or Wavebirds (see below) are recommended. You may use third party controllers if you wish but if you are caught using their features you will be warned. More warnings lead to disqualification.
BRING WAVEBIRDS AT YOUR OWN RISK. It will be your responsibility to find others with Wavebirds and sort out the frequency issues. If you bring a wavebird it is highly suggested to bring a normal Gamecube controller in case your Wavebird malfunctions.

Other info:
We will try to have some extra setups for console games (IIDX, Pop'n if anyone wants to bring their controller, SSBM, whatever other games people want to play). Please bring a modded PS2 or a GameCube if you can, or whatever other game systems you would like to (X360/Wii/PS3). Also, please try to bring your own controller if you can; we'll provide what we can, but more is better to have than not enough.
We are willing to host or at the least let you host any other tournaments which you are interested in. FFC has a pretty decent collection of fighting games, including Tekken 5, SF 3rd Strike, Guilty Gear Isuka, SVC CHAOS, Dead or Alive 2, Soul Calibur, and several others.
