Format Designation
Damagermany Europe and Damagermany Crash:
Tekken6 will be played on Sony Playstation 3 Consoles.
TV Issue and Version Rules
As we already know that, especially Tekken 6 has problems with imput lag on different TVs, no matter on what TV we play, there we be always someone who will complain about timing and lag.
Like last year, we will use 16 Iiyama HD Monitors with 0 lag. This Iiyama Model “iiyama prolite 2210HDS” was tested by the top Players and selected as the best monitors for Tekken 6. This model was used in all top Tekken 6 Tournaments in Europe like UT and Tekken Italia Tournament.
We will use the PAL Version of Tekken6.
Tourney Format
Damagermany Europe
The format for Damagermany Europe will be as usual and will begin with groups and then a double elimination knockout stage.
We estimate to welcome more than 128 Players. So we will be forced to manage 16 Groups and a 64-Double-Elemination Bracket.
Damagermany Crash
The format for Damagermany Crash will probably begin straight with a double elimination knockout stage. We estimate to welcome 16 teams from different countries. So it will be a 16 double elimination Stage.

• Buttons are to be set before the match, group organizers should supervise this

Tournament Rules:
Damagermany Europe TEKKEN 6 Solo
-First: Groups
- After: Double Elimination
- 60 Seconds
- Best of 5 rounds per game
-Motion Blur: OFF
- Stages: first stage random, then loser chose the next stage
- Group Stage: Best of 3 games, best of 5 rounds
- Knockout Stage: Best of 5 games, best of 5 rounds
- Grand Finals: Best of 5 games, best of 5 rounds
- Groups: If 2 or more players have the same Total Points at the end, the difference of the winning/losing games will be compared between the players first. If it is still equal, then the player who beat his opponent in the Group comes first. If in some cases (for 3 and more players having same total games), a rematch between the players is required inorder to define the ranking in the Group.
- Every Player can only pick up 2 Characters for the whole Tournament, first main and second main
- Every Player must define his 2 characters when he sings up in the forum.
- Both characters will be displayed next to the players name in the sign up list. So all participants can see which characters are common in the tournament and which are not. So they can practice and focus more on those chars.
- Every Player must pick up main character number one, first… and only after losing, he may change to character number 2.
- Winner cannot change character. Only loser can change to character number 2.
- If the player lost again with his second main, he surely can switch back to his first main character.
Damagermany Crash Tekken 6:
Players around the world are allowed to attend this tournament!
- Begins with Double Elimination
- 60 Seconds
- Top 16 matches: Best of 5 games, best of 5 rounds per team
- Top 8 matches: Best of 11 games (FT6), best of 5 rounds per team.
-Motion Blur: OFF
- Stages: first stage random, then loser chose the next stage
Damagermany Crash tournament will have the same rules like the korean Famous Tekken Crash:
- 3 on 3 Tournament
- All team members must be from the same Country
- Every team must have 3 different characters
- Character lock during the whole Tournament
- The order of the players in the team may be changed in every match. Must be declared before though.
- Depending on how many teams we have (max 16 Teams), the tournament will start straight with a Double Elemination knockout Stage.
- Depending on how many teams signed up, the top 16 matches (winner and loser brackets) will be first to three. Starting from the top 8, the games will be first to 6.
- The sides of the teams must be changed after reaching the first to three.
- IMPORTANT: to avoid any Delay of the tournament, binding buttons must be done in the tournament match. For example, after the loss of the first player in the team, the second player picks his character and begin the match without going out in the menu. Both players must not move at all, the new player presses immediately start to bind his buttons and returns in the match by pressing start again. Both players can move and play the match afterwards.
We tried such formats and we noticed that if every player needs to go out to change his buttons, this will take a looooot of time (about one hour for each first to 6). I think top 8 teams would be very interesting and we would like to stream all of the games. So please be sympathetic about it.

Event Schedule:
Damagermany will be a 3 days event like last year. We have now a lot of experience after organizing a lot of tournament, and we concluded that, no matter how organized and prepared we were, we were never be able to finish a 160-man tournaments before 6 am the next day. And we are aware that this is the most common complaints of the players. Since we want to organize the best tournament FOR the players… We decided to split the tournaments in 3 days like last year. Not only for the tournaments, but also for freeplay. Since Freeplay is for all players the most important thing in such event. We are also aware that many players have jobs or school and don´t prefer to take extra holiday on Friday, but you will notice that it still possible to attend the event on Friday after your work. So this is how the Schedule will be:
*Friday 16th March:
-15:00: Doors open
15:00-19:00 : Casuals and Warm up
19:00- 01:00 : Tournament starts. Groups/Pools for Damagermany Europe. Top 16 matches Damagermany Crash
22:00- 01:00 : Top 8 matches (loser and winner) of damagermany crash .
You may notice that the tournament will start late in the evening. Not only that, for the players who must work and could not arrive sooner, they are not forced to show up at 19:00, they still be able to show up till 23:00 in the night and play their group matches. The disadvantage of coming so late is that they are not able to warm up before. The players, who don´t appear till 23:00, will be disqualified.
*Saturday 17th March:
12:00 : Doors open
13:00-20:00 : 64 Double Elimination Brackets start, Top 4 damagermany crash (17:00-20:00)
20:00-23:00 : Semi-Finals and Finals LB and WB
23:00-00:00 : Award Ceremony
00:00-07:00 (Sunday): Casuals and Freeplay .
As you noticed, The tourney will start at around 1pm on the 16th and simply spill over to the 17th wrapping the last of the freeplay up and leaving the venue at around 7:00am
Accomodation
if you need a place to stay some players living around the Frankfurt area are open to hosting and have kindly offered to do so. However this is on a first come, first serve basis and I imagine places are sparse so please state in your post if you will need a place to stay.
- Cheap Accomodation for DamagermanY: once again, DamagermanY is trying to manage a cheap Hostel for all players who are attending the event. Last time, the Hostel that we had was so chaotic and not professional at all, so we were looking for other Hostel nearby, and we found a looooot better/cleaner/newer one, 2 minutes walk from the old Hostel. We are in touch with them and we will give you all details as soon as possible. We hope that the prizes will not be more than 16 euro a night. So stay tuned.
Entry Fee
This time we really want to avoid any strangers or idiots among the players who just enter the venue for free and may bother us. Also because it´s a 3 day event, we will require a Fee to enter the venue and a separate fee to participate in one or both tournaments:
- Entry Fee: 10 euro for all 3 days
- Tournament Fee: 15 euro for one Tournament. 30 for both tournaments
Payment: We will announce the payment details as soon as possible. We are looking for a better and a more comfortable payment system for the players. We will keep you in touch.
Guest Players:
Since its only a European Tournament, we will not invite any guests for the solo tournament. However, we might invite a whole team for the team tournament, since everyone is allowed to attend it. But this depends on the donations, sponsors and the number of the participants attending the tournaments. Even though it’s a tekken 6 tournament, many Koreans are still interested to join damagermany crash. So hopefully we can sponsor them to come to Germany. So Stay tuned!
Donation:
If you want to support our event and make it even bigger and better, we would be so thankful if you could help us with a small donation.
We promise that every cent and euro will be invested only for the players flights, organization, prints, hardware ect… But not for the staff.
