POWER RANKINGS

In each game, players earn ranking points based on how they place in the bracket. There are three meets in Winter Series 2016, and points are dispersed as follows:

1^st = 9pts

2^nd = 8pts

3^rd = 7pts

4^th = 6pts

5^th = 5pts

7^th = 4pts

9^th = 3pts

13^th = 2pts

17^th and Below = 1pt

The Top 4 point earners for a game will earn an invitation to compete in a Championship Round Robin for prizes and glory. If there is a tie in points for Top 4, then all the players who have earned the necessary points will also earn an invitation to the Championship Round Robin.

Meet 1 of each series is randomly seeded, and then considerations are made for where players live. Meet 2 and Meet 3 begin using the power rankings to seed players in the bracket. Considerations are still made for where players live, but ranking points are more important. Players who have no ranking points, and join mid-series, receive a bottom seed and are inserted into the bracket where they fit. Considerations are made for where players live, but again the ranking points are more important.

CHARITY

Winter Series 2016 will be supporting the AbleGamers Foundation. Here is a short snippet of what they do:

“With a three-step approach, AbleGamers works and advocates on behalf of the disability community to increase the accessibility of video games and to achieve further inclusion by those who need special considerations.”

Over the course of Winter Series 2016, PowerUp will ask that you, the players, be great #FGCitizens and make monetary donations to AbleGamers that fit within your budget. Any amount is welcome, and we will keep an official tally for donations. Please show us a copy of your donation receipt, with only name, date and amount donated visible, and we will add your donation to our total. Or, donate in person with cash. Let’s see how far we can go in support of AbleGamers!

Visit the AbleGamers website here: http://www.ablegamers.com

COMMUNITY SOURCED BONUS

Players and spectators are encouraged to donate money to the prize pool for their favorite PowerUp Series game. Current games accepting donations are: Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat X, and Killer Instinct. Community sourced bonus donations must be made in person and, for now, are cash only.

The community sourced bonus will be split 70/20/10 between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers at each Series Championship based on results from the Championship Invitational Round Robin.

RULES

2v2 rules: Predetermine what order each player goes. Player 1 on each team plays. Player 2 on each team plays. If both player 1 or 2 on the same team win, they advance. If one of each win, the winners face off to see who advances.

Winner is character and variation locked.


Blind picks are available upon player request of the TO.

You may request a coach, who must follow the PowerUp private coaching rules. The link to the PowerUp Ruleset is below.

Stage will always be randomly selected.

No fatalities on the big screen. The tournament will be up on a giant projector screen, in full view of children visiting Arcade Legacy. We do not want any parents bringing complaints to our generous venue. Brutalities are not wholly controllable, and therefore they can be displayed on the projector screen.

All Alpha Attack games have a standard top 3 payout. 1st place gets 70% of the pot, 2nd gets 20% of the pot, and 3rd gets 10%. Payouts will be 70/30 if there is less than 10 entrants for a game. Mystery Game is winner takes all!

All PowerUp games have a payout scale based on the number of entrants per game. The payout scale can be found along with the full PowerUp Ruleset at this link: http://www.powerupfighters.org/p/event-rules.html
