West Coast Warzone 3 is proud to announce that it is the first major tournament to be hosting the EVO2011 tournament series!
California’s premier fighting game tournament partners with the world’s premier open fighting game tournament to usher a tournament season for players from around the world to earn points towards being seeded at EVO2011!
From Shoryuken.com -
Starting in early January, EVO is partnering with the top grass-roots tournament organizers to form a regular season of fighting games. Our 2011 season will run from January through July, culminating in the EVO World Finals July 29-31 at the Rio Hotel and Resort, Las Vegas. At each stop of the tournament season, players will earn ranking points that will directly determine their seed in the tournament brackets at the EVO World Finals. With literally thousands of players attending the finals, you’re going to want to secure that seed if you want to advance far in the brackets.
Ranking Point Formula
Here is how ranking points will be distributed. As you can see below, we are awarding points for all the top players in the tournament, not just first through third. This means that over the course of the season we will be able to seed potentially hundreds of players!
For 2011 we will award ranking points for Super Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tournaments.
Tournament Finish | Points Awarded
1st place | 64 pts
2nd place | 32 pts
3rd place | 16 pts
4th place | 8 pts
5th place | 4pts
5th place | 4pts
7th place | 2pts
7th place | 2pts
9th – 16th place* | 1 pt
*points are only awarded for 9th – 16th place when the tournament has over 128 players participating.
Note – Warzone already has more than 128 in preregistration so know that you will be getting points. =]
With even more glory to be won at West Coast Warzone, the event is sure to be the best way to start off your 2011 fighting game career. We’ll see you in less than a week!
