What are the rules for setting up a team for this? Is there a link to some of the rules? I really didn't see any searching past STGT.

The STGT standards dictates a minimum of five players and maximum of seven.

dex i've made a poster to help promote the tourney

Do it, the cat looks like a dick anyway.

Thanks. I have a team put together. So I guess now we just wait until it gets closer?


NM, I see. Registration on Monday.

[Shatterhand]

1) Don't do it. Herr Schatten already said why.
2) 23rd
3) Don't tell the week names before telling the games
4) I'd prefer a break beetween each week.

[Danbo]

1) Thinking about reusing a game from one of the earlier STGTs. Would this be acceptable?

yeah as long as we play thunder dragon 2 again that was an amazing and Artful game, it was dope

2) Should the tourney start on 16th or 23rd August?

23rd please.

3) Do you want the week names to be released after my game choice is a sure deal?

go for it

4) Do you agree with the 1 week of break in the middle? If not, should there be more breaks, or none at all?

i dont really mind

i might be distracted from this years STGT as i hope to be getting a j360 and KETSUI (!!) very very soon, idk if i'll bother setting up a team. pm me if you'd like me to join your team but because i am a Professional i will charge for my services.

There needs to be some sort of FAQ.

[Dragoforce]

Check the old threads, all the info you need is there.

WAT

[Tigershark]

I'm not fussed either way save for one thing: the starting date. August is tricky because of holidays and getting the kids back to school. Could we start in September?

[third_strike]

1) ...There are plenty of those left, no need to reuse ones that have been covered already...

Cool!

WAT

maybe hes flying to dex's house to find out the games early

So, some questions from me, if you answered them in this thread, that would be golden:
1) Thinking about reusing a game from one of the earlier STGTs. Would this be acceptable?
2) Should the tourney start on 16th or 23rd August?
3) Do you want the week names to be released after my game choice is a sure deal?
4) Do you agree with the 1 week of break in the middle? If not, should there be more breaks, or none at all?

1) No. There are hundreds of shmups left that we haven't touched. As much fun as it might be to revisit some of the games, let's wait until we actually start to run low on games before we start with the repeats.
2) 16th.
3) No. Surprise me.
4) Give a few days off between rounds, as it doesn't have to be so rigidly structured (1 week, 1 week, 1 week, 1 week...). We're all adults. We can handle playing a week, then getting two or three days off and then coming back. Such a schedule won't throw us all into a panicked chaos

[The_Pro]

1)Yes
2)16th
3)Don't care
4)Yes

[Dragoforce]

Oh, fudge. You guys back again?

[sikraiken]

1) Yes
2) 16th
3) Don't care
4) Yes

[Plasmo]

1) Yes
2) 16th
3) Yes
4) Yes

[Leeram]

The Underdogs are going to rule!!

1) Thinking about reusing a game from one of the earlier STGTs. Would this be acceptable?
Yes, so long as they are good ones


2) Should the tourney start on 16th or 23rd August?

23rd

3) Do you want the week names to be released after my game choice is a sure deal?
no, give us a taster for the types of games we'll be playing up front

4) Do you agree with the 1 week of break in the middle? If not, should there be more breaks, or none at all?

Do it exactly like it was last year. Last year was perfect.

[dex]

The rules will be thoroughly explained in the registration thread, which will go live on Monday.

Thanks for answering the questions, everyone. The week names will be released, and will end up in the registration thread as well.

The tourney will start on the 23rd (somewhat also for a personal reason that came up yesterday), and there will be the planned break.

[spineshark]

1) Definitely prefer previously unused games. One recycle would be alright, though.
2) 16th, that way I have at least one week to give it everything before school starts.
3) Whatever, without voting I don't worry about the week names too much.
4) Yeah, but I'd put it after week 3 so it's more than halfway through, haha. Just a very slight psychological difference =p
