DO THE MEATEO
The Final Fantasy 4 community is holding a tournament! We are looking to get 8, 12 or 16 players for a tournament which will be held from 30 March - 3 May. Signups are available at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19H3FHuOpXyynt3ckqT-wffne7TCiXC2tsILHSo15wyA/edit#gid=871362062

Category: Any% (no64 door glitch)

Format (see the bracket tab of the above signup page for format):
Qualifying: Double elimination Groups of 4, head to head races. 2 from each group will advance (win 2 matches before losing 2). You get the whole week to organise races between yourselves (once the draw is released) at your leisure. Preferably races should be organized through SRL and you must stream you race. We understand that internet problems arise and other issues occur, so please save a local recording of your race, just in case.

Due to needing 8, 12 or 16 runners if we get a non multiple of 4 runners we will unfortunately have to randomly draw who makes it into the tournament. Sorry about this but it is the fairest way (unless someone can think of an alternative?).

Semi Finals (weekend 26-27 April, time TBA, 4, 6 or 8 runners based on numbers): Head to head races, each race having 1 person on 0 losses and another from a different group with 1 loss. The winners from each race advance to the finals. Races must be organised through SRL.

Finals (weekend 2-3 May, time TBA): All winners of the semi finals race together (2 - 4 person race depending on runners), streamed on twitch.tv/rpglimitbreak


If you'd like to enter please use the above signup form to let us know your availability. We will let everybody know the exact semi and grand final times closer to the tournament start date. If you have any questions feel free to contact myself (the_roth) or catastrophic4 on twitch for more details!
Thread title:  
This is going to be exciting! Looking forward to having 100 people sign up!
11 sign ups so far! :O

Keep it up people, we want to find out who the King of FF4 is!
Looking forward to watching this. Will hold off signing up unless unless we need 1 more to make a certain multiple, as i'm pretty sure i am busy the Semi-Finals Weekend.
Khobahi, we are planning to make the schedule in a such a way that it is flexible. Additionally, the finals are really the only important "set" schedule that we need to make because it will be broadcast on the twitch.tv/rpglimitbreak page. Otherwise, all matches, including semi finals, can be scheduled at the leisure of the two racers, provided that they can complete the match sometime within that week.
What's that gemma?
Why a tournament rather than a race?
SPEEDruns not SAFEruns
A tournament because races have been done and there is enough active runners in the community to have something fun to determine the top players
Exactly what Deuceler said. It's just something that is different and fun, and with the community being a pretty tight knit group, hopefully it will encourage even more new runners and ideas.
Instead of drawing for places, just simply have people sit out the first round (perhaps the current best times, that tends to be what's done in such instances)
I don't believe it's going to be an issue, to be honest. We have already had two sign-ups that have asked to be cut if there aren't enough people, so it looks like we are going to be set either way. If that were the case we would only need to cut one other, and I would sit out if I had to in order to even the brackets.

We're trying a tournament because why not have a month of Final Fantasy 4 HUPE, something fun! Even if we only have 8 players and the idea works out well then we can try something later down the track too.
....what's HUPE?
Only the hypest of hype is classified as "HUPE".
