Hello everyone! It's that time of year again, and the yearly Luigi's Mansion tournament is among us. Every year we host a No OOB Tournament that anyone can enter, and have a chance to win some cash prizes as well. Signups for the tournament will run through the remainder of April, and until the end of May, so you will have plenty of time to practice until you're satisfied with your gameplay. Seeding will be determined by your placement with everyone else on the leaderboard. Please also keep in mind that seeding will not be finalized until signup's close!
This year will be a little bit different regarding the payouts. First, second, and third place will get paid this year, unlike years prior. Money amounts will be determined by the prize pool we have which will be varied.
The next big change will be the actual money itself. Since Michael and I are running the tournament this year, instead of Adam, we are a bit limited on money, however, we are contributing the majority of the pot and it will be at least $300. (Please note, if you wish to contribute to the prize pot contact either myself or MichaelT00 on Discord!)
This year's tournament will be hosted by the great people over at Speedgaming once again, who did an amazing job last year, dealing with some of the "incidents" we threw at them with the first tourney. So let's try not to cause problems for them this year. :)
Nextly, I would like to talk about the new site we are using this year, called, "Matcherino." Matcherino is a site where the prize pool will be located. You can donate directly to the prize pool, or buy some merchandise. (Once again, contact either myself or Michael if you would like to contribute.)
Now we will talk about commentator's for this year's tournament. If you wish to be a commentator, please contact either myself or Michael. Being a commentator means you need to actually be committed to the matches you sign up for. Like last year, we stumbled upon a lot of problems with this, and were in dire need of last minute commentators, and we definitely don't need a repeat this year.
Lastly, I would like to recap and talk about the rule set for this year's tournament. Once again, this will be a No OOB tournament, which will be open to everyone. It will be just like the other's where we will schedule the match and Speedgaming will host it. Please make sure when you schedule the match, that you make it to the match on TIME. If something comes up, please give NOTICE. Only runner's on console will be allowed to partake, so runner's on unofficial hardware (emulator, USB, etc.) will not be allowed to participate to give fairness to everyone else.
It's gonna be a good tournament, so let's make the most of it, and most importantly, let's all have fun!
