MegaMan52 | 2,443 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 1st place vs 16th place? I'm going up against the champ at the beginning of the Tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going up against the champ at the beginning of the Tournament? That's how brackets work. We don't have divisions set up here to split the competition, so yeah, 1st vs 16th is the norm. Also, you might move up...there's at least one confirmed to not be playing. Edited November 17, 2021 by the_wizard_666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said that was totally fine! I've never played it, but it looks like Slalom with a penguin. Can we play Frostbite for the Atari 2600? I'm pretty good at that.

She said that was totally fine! I am fairly certain this isn't true, but I am holding out serious hope that it is. And not because I won that week. Its just such an awesomely addicting game and one where playing for score makes it so much more fun. I don't want to wait til 2024 to play it again!

BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 It isn't true, but there is nothing stopping me from using games from this year contest to pad out the grand finals. Aka, don't be surprised if you have to run through Antarctica for score again to help with your grand finals standings. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 So far, two players refused the invitation due to being very busy. A round of applause for them for their valiant run in the VGS NES Weekly Contest! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could really shake things up if one is in the top 8. @Jeevanmove to 7 would mean a morbus free round 2 and @Bearcat-Dougwould be forced to off his bestie in @docile tapeworm. Would be a strange site, like watching han and chewie in a head to head battle Edited November 17, 2021 by NESfiend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheating- Cheating will NOT be tolerated in any form. This contest is based on trust and honor. Anyone found cheating will be banned from further competition.- The use of point glitches to intentionally increase (or in the case of a low score contest, decrease) your score are frowned upon and not allowed in the contests. If a point glitch is discovered that can create an unfair advantage, the rules for the game will be altered to ban the glitch. Anyone suspected of using point glitches will have their score disqualified.- If there is suspicion of a participant cheating, the contest moderators will review the case and the member may be asked to present further evidence of their score. Further evidence includes, but is not limited to, video recordings and/or extra pictures.- If you suspect another participant of cheating, do NOT call them out in the contest threads. Please send a PM to the contest organizers and we will review the score. Posting accusations in the contest threads creates unnecessary drama and stress for all involved and will NOT be tolerated.
