Rules:

‘NORTH AMERICA FINAL’ QUALIFICATION & RULES

‘Tournament’ champions qualify for ‘TEKKEN 7: The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2016 North America Final’ event.

Qualification for ‘TEKKEN 7: The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2016 North America Final’ event is open for residents of North and South America. Qualified champions under the age of eighteen (18) will require legal guardian.

Qualified champions that are residents of North/South America but are outside of the United States must have a valid passport to participate in the ‘TEKKEN 7: The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2016 North America Final’

In the event that ‘Tournament’ champion is not a resident of North/South America, the qualification will pass to the next highest placing resident of North/South America.
In the event that the next highest placing resident is the 5th or 7th place tie, both players will compete in a tiebreaker set. The winner will qualify for ‘TEKKEN 7: The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2016 North America Final’

Eighteen (18) qualified champions will receive travel, lodging, and entry to the ‘TEKKEN 7: The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2016 North America Final’

Qualified champions cannot compete in future ‘TEKKEN 7: The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2016’ events after qualifying unless they relinquish their qualifying spot (see options below).

Qualified champions have the option to relinquish their qualifying spot from a ‘Tournament’ to compete in another ‘Tournament’ on the tour.

For each relinquished qualifying spot, a last chance qualifier spot will be opened in the ‘Last Chance Qualifier’ tournament.

A ‘Last Chance Qualifier’ tournament will be held to fill remainder spots for a total of twenty (20) qualified participants for the ‘TEKKEN 7: The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2016 North America Final’ event.

Top placing participants in the ‘Last Chance Qualifier’ tournament will be used to fill remainder open spots. Tiebreaker sets will be used in the event an odd number of open spots are available.

Previous qualified champions that relinquished their spots to compete in another ‘Tournament’ in the tour but were unable to secure a new spot may enter the ‘Last Chance Qualifier’ tournament to requalify.

The last chance qualifier tournaments will be single elimination brackets where each tournament winner will earn a spot into the finals day. Competitors can enter as many last chance qualifier tournaments as they want. The first tournament will start at 9AM PST and will continue sequentially until we fill in the required spots needed to have 20 qualifiers for finals day.

Single elimination format

Best 2 out of 3 matches until Grand Finals where it will be best 3 out of 5 matches

Probably the only time the venue was available in Nov.

They are holding the LCQs in a random hotel on Tuesday and the actual finals at the Ruby Sky on Wed.

Venues of this size has to be booked months and sometime years in advance.

So this is the first time the version with Bob & Master Raven has been in NA right? Kinda funny that people qualified on a totally different version of the game then what they're playing at the finals. Hell I think Rip qualified on Vanilla 7.

How the hell does Tekken 7 have a competitive scene in NA anyway?

Are there even any cabs at all outside of California?

Not really, but they've brought cabs to pretty much every tournament and wizard world event this year.

Sooooo... how do the participants even practice the game outside of the tournaments themselves?

Or is T7 similar enough to T6 or TTT2 that it doesn't matter?

Yea if they are going to do a 30+ minute break between each of these 9 tournaments this isn't going to be over until tomorrow morning.

There won't be 30 minute breaks per. Stream station had to reset (arcade boards have downsides) but the 2nd bracket had already begun. Breaks between LCQs are only scheduled to be 10 minutes.

Youtube and TTT2 solo mode is what some people have done.

That's hilarious and sad. Mostly sad.

Namco really doesn't give a fuck about its international audience, don't they? How many fucking years has it been already, and still no home ports?

A lot of the bigger places for Tekken also had arcades that got it (well, Round 1) and folks got to play Vanilla T7 for awhile.
