Tournament Phases

VS Fighting 2010 is an open tournament. Each game tournament we divide the tournament into two phases: Qualification Pools and the Tournament Finals. These brackets will be put online three days before the tournament starts to ensure we didn’t miss anyone, and to make sure people are spread out. There maybe open slots on the day, but please book early to avoid disappointment.

Qualification Pools

At the start of the tournament, players are divided into pools of 16 people. The There is a minimum of 8 pools depending on the overall size of the tournament. Each pool is run as a double elimination bracket, until there are only two players left. These top two players advance to the Finals. Once all the pools have been run, the top two players from each pool move on to a new double elimination bracket. A loss from your qualification pool carries over to the Semifinals, so one half the players will start out on the “winners” side of the bracket, and the other half will start out on the “losers” side. The top eight players in the Semifinals advance to the Tournament Finals.

Tournament Finals

A loss from your qualification pool carries over to the Final, so one half the players will start out on the “winners” side of the bracket, and the other half will start out on the “losers” side.

The Finals end when all but one player has been eliminated.

Prize Structure

Think you can place in the money? That’s the spirit. VS Fighting awards cash prizes to the top three places at a rate proportional to the number of attendees. £10 from the registration fee of each participant will go into a tournament prize pool, which will be awarded to the top finishers at a 7/2/1 split. For example, if 300 people enter a tournament, the total prize pool for that tournament will be £3000 (£300 x 10), paying out £2100 to first place (70% of £3000), £600 to second place (20% of £3000), and £300 to third place (10% of £3000).
