This weekend, our team at compLexity.CrossCounter will be attending the most hyped fighting game event of the summer, Evolution 2012. ComboFiend, Filipino Champ, and Mike Ross will all be vying for the chance to be number one among the likes of international stars such as Daigo Umehara and Momochi as well as homegrown talent like Justin Wong and Mr Fanatiq. It will be no easy feat, but if recent majors results are any indication, our boys are well-prepared to take on any challenge.
Evo 2012 is an open tournament. Each game tournament will have hundreds of competitors, so we divide the tournament into three phases: Qualification Pools, the Semifinal Bracket, 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.
Qualification Pools
At the start of the tournament, players are divided into pools of eight or more people. The size of each pool depends 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 Semifinals.
Semifinal Bracket
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
The Finals are basically a continuation of the Semifinal Bracket. Once again, losses carry over. The Finals end when all but one player has been eliminated.
