The Giant Bomb Persona 4 Arena Team Tournament is here. This is a 2v2 teams side tournament for the main event run by FluxWaveZ here.
How's a 2v2 team tournament work?
It's pretty simple. The first players of each team have a match. The second match is between the winner and the second player of the other team. If the first player wins again that player's team is victorious. Otherwise the second player from both teams play the final match to determine the victor.
For clarity I'm calling the above one "team match" a round of the tournament will be 2/3 team matches.
Rules:
Players must enter in teams of two.
The tournament will be played in a single elimination bracket. When you're out, you're out.
If a team's other member is unavailable during the event the remaining member may play alone, but can't play on behalf of their teammate (no second chances).
Matches will be best 2 out of 3 rounds with 99 seconds each round. Winner will be best 2 out of 3 team matches.
Players can choose their characters both A) At the start of a tournament round B) During the same tournament round after a match loss.
Team Order: Each team must choose their team order at the start of each tournament round. Team order may not be changed while the tournament round is in progress.
If a player drops during a round, it is up to the opponent to decide if he agrees to do a rematch or not.
Since I neglected to mention it in the thread title THIS IS A PS3 ONLY EVENT.

I used the official wallpaper with Yu standing in the middle, with some size adjustments it turned out pretty good. (Brawl Stick replaced with yellow Sanwa stick and buttons.)
Nice job, how'd you get a new skin onto a brawl stick though? Is it a sticker you had custom printed or something?
@TooWalrus: Those are slippers you need to wear in the classroom in Japanese schools. I've watched Tokyo Drift enough times and I'm not ashamed to know what wabaki are.
Short answer is yes it's a sticker of sorts. Fortunately there's pretty comprehensive information on the modding process for the non-TE sticks available so you don't have to go in blind:
Here is another one. You have a nice amount of pics to choose from now, I think any of the pictures shown on this thread would make an awesome pic for your fight stick.
That reminds me if anyone wants the high res base art I was using for the templates I posted here let me know. 800x559 is useless for printing. There's a lot of sick stuff posted here now so plenty to choose from :)
Speaking of fightsticks I'm planning to mod my brawl stick with one of these designs (and non-terrible parts) soon. Going to need transparent buttons but should be worth it. Hmm second design doesn't want to attach, I'll try again shortly.
