The Japanese Peercast community has an Any% Single Elimination tournament every year during the summer. This tournament has been happening for 10 years and this is the first time runners outside Japan enter.

Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/rtainjapan Rules & Registration: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T-DCv7CSaW72Wct1Rr8E3pN7ldkfFe5zjvtzrsmTQbc/ Discord: https://discord.gg/tPxkXfT

Note that the timing rules are different from this leaderboard:

• Timing starts on pressing Start on the titlescreen.
• Timing ends when Peach's finishing speech has finished.
• Highscore is used as a tiebreaker at second ties.

You also need to include a clock on your layout - such as this one: http://download.cnet.com/Big-Free-Clock/3000-2350_4-10774287.html

I can't edit the sheet to add myself to the tournament. Is this a mistake or is do I need to ask Kaku to get myself added?

sorry. I changed it so that I can edit the registration form. I am waiting for participation!

@kaku52 Probably not interested in running, but I do have a general question. I noticed that you are opening up the competition to non-Japanese runners, but yet in the rules you stated that you have a cap of 32 and you are going to run this all in the same day. My question is how are you going filter out the potentially hundreds of runners that I am sure that are going to at least attempt to join in the tournament? Qualifying days? Fastest time that was previously submitted?

Sanjihimura: In the Elimination Race from last April, it was basically a "first-in, first-served"-policy and it worked pretty well. I assume it will be the same for this tournament.

That's right. Registed on a first-come and first-served basis.

Got it. I just thought that there was some form of seeding distribution that required something more "involved" (for lack of a better term) to narrow the potential field down.

Tournaments don't typically pull off over 32 players. A lot of factors are key when numerous runners don't want to play. The first and most obvious one is the time. This and the race in April were at 22:00 JST, or 5:00 AM for me. It's difficult for many runners to participate with the time. Plus you have some players who need to go to work early and a few players who don't get the message that a race is happening.

What emulators allowed? Also it every player wil run 1 run or best players will run again?

All emulators that are ok here, should be ok in the tournament too. It's 1vs1 runs and the winner gets to the next round.
