Thought this was good to share with the rest of the SMB1 community.
Xeroxfiend came up with the great idea of having weekly tournaments, which so far has been 2 - the first one was between xeroxfiend, esmo88, and virusereturns. The next week was skipped, and this week (Dec 30, 2017) was a (very chaotic) 6 person tournament between xeroxfiend, darpey, roylgamer, virusereturns, jtknott05, and gtace99
I made a compilation video afterwards. I had planned to make the whole thing in the style of the "practice" video, but it ended up taking more time than I had anticipated, so I made the fancy practice video, then just put all the feeds together for the rest of it.
For the practice video, xeroxfiend's audio is used. For the whole tournament video, xeroxfiend's audio is used for races 1, 3, 4, 5 and darpey's audio is used for race 2.
The first race was agreed to be a "practice" race.
PRACTICE RACE 1st Place - xeroxfiend (5:30) 2nd Place - virusereturns (5:38) 3rd Place - darpey (5:40) 4th Place - gtace99 (5:55) 5th Place - jtknott (6:39) 6th Place - roylgamer - DNF
The entire tournament, using the runners' non-cropped feeds can be viewed here -->
Xeroxfiend's mic cut off during the countdown of the second race, so xeroxfiend and virusereturns stopped (as per xerox's instructions, which were also cutting out a little bit), so it only included 4 of the runners:
2nd Race 1st Place - roylgamer (5:02) 2nd Place - darpey (5:43) 3rd Place - jtknott05 (6:20) 4th Place - gtace99 (8:14)
The next 3 races were the three "official" races
The results are as follows:
Race #1 1st Place - jtknott05 (5:29) 2nd Place - virusereturns (6:38) 3rd Place - darpey (7:34) 4th Place - gtace99 (7:56) 5th Place - xeroxfiend (8:16) 6th Place - roylgamer (DNF)
Race #2 1st Place - xeroxfiend (5:41) 2nd Place - darpey (5:44) 3rd Place - jtknott05 (6:29) 4th Place - roylgamer (7:01) 5th Place - virusereturns (8:51) 6th Place - gtace99 (DNF)
Race #3 1st Place - roylgamer (5:04) 2nd Place - virusereturns (5:26) 3rd Place - darpey (6:07) 4th Place - xeroxfiend (6:21) 5th Place - gtace99 (7:20) 6th Place - jtknott05 (7:47)
Tournament Results (Cumulative time for all three "official" races) 1st Place - darpey (19:25) 2nd Place - jtknott05 (19:45) 3rd Place - xeroxfiend (20:18) 4th Place - virusereturns (20:55) 5th Place - roylgamer (12:05 + DNF) 6th Place - gtace99 (15:06 + DNF)
Best 3 Races (note: this was not the agreed upon metric, and it is further unfair to xeroxfiend and virusereturns, since they only competed in 4 of the possible 5 races, but I thought it would still be worth including, since not all runners completed the "official" 3 races) 1st Place tied - darpey (17:07) 1st Place tied - roylgamer (17:07) 3rd Place - xeroxfiend (17:32) 4th Place - virusereturns (17:42) 5th Place - jtknott05 (18:18) 6th Place - gtace99 (21:11)
