Hey everyone! The annual Luigi's Mansion No OoB tournament is back for the 8th year in a row. I'm pleased to announce we are once again partnering with SpeedGaming and are super grateful that they continue to host us after all these years! There aren't too many changes to touch base on this year, so I'll get right into the details.

For starters, we held a poll to determine whether this tournament should be single or double elimination, and double elimination won the poll by four votes. This is also a free to enter tournament and there is no tentative prize pot, however if you would like to contribute something you can get with me and we can set that up.

We're sticking with the normal format of having a week long cap to get your matches done per round. When you and your opponent schedule a match, please stay committed to the date and time you and your opponent have set. If you need to reschedule, please let me or one of the admins know so we can get that situated. If everyone has finished their match before the week is up, then we will proceed with the next round immediately. If you finish your match before the week is up, and your next opponent has also, then feel free to go ahead and do that match at any time. In past tournaments we've had quite a few no shows, but we're getting better at ensuring that doesn't happen again. If you don't let an admin know that you can't make your match on the scheduled date, then your opponent will get the win for that round.

We're once again calling on people with good knowledge and expertise of the game to sign up for commentary. Like last time, I'm going to be making a list of all the people interested in commentating, and we're going to have a set cap on the number of commentary slots available based on the number of entrants. We'll then pick from the list who we think is best suited for the role, based on past commentary experiences and overall general knowledge on the game. This is to cut down on the number of people who've said they were interested in commentating, and then never end up commentating a single match, or as few matches as possible. So if you're interested in commentating, don't hesitate to shoot me a DM on Discord. (Note to the Mods: If someone tells you they're interested in commentating, have them reach out to me so I can have an accurate count on who is interested.)

Only people who are playing on legitimate hardware will be allowed to compete (No EMU, or USB) to give fairness to everyone else competing.

Listed below is a link to the Challonge bracket where you can sign up. Sign-ups are officially open, so you can register for the tournament at your discretion. Sign-ups end on May 25th and the tournament will begin on June 5th. Best of luck to everyone competing!
