All players and sponsor will begin the Tournament night in the waiting area.  “TR-Proctor A” will announce that the tournament is going to begin and a brief orientation of the code of conduct.

Afterwards she will call out a TOTAL of 20 participant numbers!!

It is your responsibility to listen closely for your number to be called and respond accordingly. 

• The numbers will only be called TWICE!!  If you FAIL to HEAR or RESPOND when your number has been called you will forfeit you opportunity to compete.

For that reason when the ‘TR-Proctors” take the Floor we ask that you give them your undivided attention.

After each block of 10 numbers are called, Proctor B will escort each player to a Gaming station and your sponsor (if you have one) to the Sponsor box. ***This process will be repeated with the second block as well***.

According to the “Tournament night” and genre of the Games each player will select their character or team based on the agreed “Tournament Conditions”.

After the allotted match time TR-Proctor A will announce all “Matches ended” **At that time we again ask you to give the Proctors your undivided attention**.  All players that are involved in a match MUST remain seated.

1.  Proctors B will record all player data & separate all players into categories A & categories B based on their match results.

2. Proctors C will escort each player to the end of the gaming pit and hand each player to their respective NEW TR-Proctor.  Proctor D will escort all category A players and Proctor E will escort all category B players.

After all the players have been escorted out of the Gaming Pit. Proctor A will begin to call the next block of ten numbers and we will begin the process again.

Once again during that time we ask that you give your undivided attention to the Proctors. ***If you fail to hear your number you will forfeit your oppturinity to compete. ***

We ask that you consider and respect the time and skill level of your fellow opponents, and take this serious.

We all want to have fun, but you must respect the flow of operations here at the OVTGA as you would in any Competitive Arena.

 IF not we will not hesitate to eject anyone who does not comply with our flow or operations

Bracket

A flow chart indicating whom should play at any point in the tournament;

This is completely back-office.!!
For fair play you will have no say in your match up’s and no idea who you are playing personally!!
We want each player to be able to rest assure that their style of game play will not be analyzed or copied.
This completely deterministic nature of OUR bracket ensures FAIR play 100% of the time. TR uses SINGLE elimination brackets. NO second chances, people!! It’s $4k on the line bring YOU’RE “A-GAME” or stay at home

Match

A pairing between two people in the bracket, the two people play each other until a winner is determined. The final Match in the tournament determines who WINS the pot. No 2nd place or 3rd place winners here!
1 winner
Everybody else try harder next time

The bottom line is that we give you ample amount of time to see if you can beat your opponent. Believe me if you lose, it’s not a fluke…just try harder next time.

A Game is just what you think it is... a single contest between 2 players or player Teams.  For example, a game in “VF4 Evo” is over when someone wins 5 out of 10 rounds. A game of “Capcom VS SNK 2” is over when one player loses his last character. Make sure you understand the BIG difference between a Match and a Game.

Game Station

A single gaming booth with its own private TV closed off and linked to your opponent’s station. The Sole purpose of the game station is to protect YOUR IDENTIY as a player and YOUR gaming STYLE, from the other participants in the tournament. No scouting here people.

The General Manager (GM)

The person/panel that’s ultimately responsible for running the whole Tournament.

TR- Proctors

The GM has a lot of people helping him. These people usually watch over Matches and help to resolve conflicts and dictate the flow of the tournament thus, those people are called Proctors. They are tournament officials. While they can help to resolve conflicts, the GM panel is the ultimate authority in making the final call.

Registration

All participants must register well before the tournament. See the schedule and registration page for more details.

Entry fees are non-refundable, but can be moved to a next session if the GM panel is given a 48 hour notice.
