Thanksgiving Invitational Tournament 2! -doobie - Nov 14 08:16am

Ladies and gentleman, I would like to cordially invite you to participate in the second annual Jedi Academy Thanksgiving Invitational Tournament (or TIT2 for short). This year's tournament is being organized and ran by everyone's favorite piggy, FaDed, as well as skyler_ and is for Students only (ranked members will be judges)!

Details will follow as they develop, including start dates, but here's what we know. It would be a tournament for JK:JO (since we have JAmod for it, as well as the fact that it's arguably more stable), will be a 64 player tournament (at least that's the goal) set up like the NCAA basketball tournament (or like an expanded version of the world cup without pool play for you non-Americans). Each of the four groups will have 16 competitors. Groups A and B will be comprised of people from North America and Australia (and anyone else in the general vicinity of those areas), while Groups C and D will be composed of Europe, and anyone we have from Africa. People from Asia are free to choose whichever groups fit their time zones better, since the only reason we've broken the groups up like this is to accomodate times around the world.

As for structure, it will be as follows: Round 1 and 2 will consist of a best 2 out of 3 (NF, FF, NF), Rounds 3 and 4 will be best 4 out of 7 (2NF, 3FF, 2NF), Round 5 will be best 4 out of 7 (but with 2FF, 3NF, 2FF instead), and the finals will be... well a lot of fights.

That's pretty much all from now. You'll hear from FaDed in the comments of this news post soon, and we'll post the dates and way to sign up as soon as it's ready. Good luck to everyone!

Kow... times should be flexible... each round will probably run over a 2 (or 3) day period, so as long as you can work out with your opponent to fight on a day that's not Sunday, you won't have a problem.

Oh, and as for prize... well we've got something sexy lined up!

i remeber i signed up for the first tournament. the first rounds were held at a specific time. to get ready for the tourny i decided to take a nap to be well rested and of course.....i accidently slept through it. i was then put into the wild card slot. when my match came up i was yet again...sleeping.

so yeah, im not gonna sign up for it this year. plus i uninstalled jk2 so i cant exactly play it. still its a good tradition to follow up.
