Hello everyone! It's that time of year again. The yearly Luigi's Mansion No OOB tournament is back for the 5th year in a row! This year's tournament is generally going to be the same as year's past, but there are certain things we're changing to make things more organized for not only the admin's involved, but for SpeedGaming as well, since they have so many other tournament's to focus on.

For starter's, there will be a $3 entry fee in order to compete. I understand this might deter a lot of you from wanting to participate, especially if you believe you have no shot of winning. However, we've dealt with a lot of people in previous tournament's who would sign up, and then proceed to not do their matches, or schedule their matches and not do them. Not only does this create a lot of confusion, but it's also annoying to everyone else involved. With that being said, we believe this is the best approach to take, as that will likely be avoided with an entry fee. Everybody's entry fee will be donated in full to the prize pot! If you pay your entry fee and have to back out of the tournament, there will be no refunds.

We are once again partnering with SpeedGaming this year. Last year you had to sign up through the Challonge bracket and Matcherino. Unlike last year, you'll have to sign up through Matcherino and pay your entry fee through that site before you're given a link to sign up through the Challonge bracket. I will DM each individual person a link to the Challonge bracket to sign up once your entry fee has been paid. If you somehow find a link to the Challonge bracket and sign up before you pay your entry fee, you will be ineligible to compete in this year's tournament. We simply don't want anyone trying to avoid paying their entry fee.

We are also in dire need of commentator's. In previous year's we've had to do matches without commentator's. There were also situations where we stumbled looking for last minute commentator's. We had a lot of people come to us and say they would commentate, but most were unwilling to step up and actually commentate matches, so I urge you, if you have an understanding of the speedrun and are willing to commentate some matches throughout the entirety of the tournament, please sign up. SERIOUS REQUESTS ONLY!

Lastly, to recap, when you schedule your match please stay committed to the date and time you and your opponent have scheduled. If you need to reschedule, please let one of the admin's and your opponent know. We don't need any more no show's this year. Only people playing on legitimate hardware will be allowed to compete (No Emulator, no USB, etc.) to give fairness to everyone else competing!

It's gonna be another great year, so let's all have fun and make the most of it!
