Shooting Game Tournament 2009
About
Shooting Game Tournament 2009 is a friendly score competition among users of shmups.com. The score validation works like in the hi-score threads. You just play the game on PCB, emulator or any console port and post your score which you don't need to prove. (However if you are a troll or have a questionable reputation, be prepared to be asked for snapshots or other forms of verification.) ANYONE CAN JOIN!

Rules
Players and their Teams
All players will be divided into teams. Every team consists of a minimum of 5 players to a maximum of 7 players. Each week, every team member can play, but only the best 3 scores of a team will count for the overall rankings (an individual ranking high score table will be displayed as well). However, members of the team with lower scores still have their scores counted on the scoreboard and can bump down scores from other teams. Having a larger team is optimal in case any issues arise, such as a member being unable to play during a week.
Team Captains
Every team will have a captain. Preferably, the teammates will agree on their team captain on their own. Otherwise, a team vote may be enforced to choose the team captain. The captain will simply be in charge of organizing and keeping an eye on his team - reminding players who didn't play yet, or to encourage strategy talk between team members. Don't try to be the captain because it sounds so cool (this isn't school), but rather because you are dependable and would like to invest time and effort to hold your team together.
Game Selection
Each Playing Week will have a certain theme, for example a company, subgenre, game series, system, release date. This year there will be no voting, meaning the games have already been chosen. The games will not be revealed until the week of play.
Raizing Week
Last Year's Straggler Week
Psikyo Week
Hidden Gem Week
DRAGON Week
All of the games can be run on MAME, though you're free to play on a PCB or direct port (i.e. arcade perfect). If you're having trouble finding a good version of MAME, I personally use Wolfmame .99.
How can I join? Just hit the quote button on the 2nd post of this thread and fill the form out. And don't worry if you are completely new, everyone who wants to play can join.
What decides what team I am on? You may either join one of the existing teams, or you may create your own team. You may also just fill out the entry form without specifying a team and get randomly invited into one team or put into a team set up by regionals.

If you do not care, I will assume that you want your team put as open.
If you wish to join a closed/private team, please PM their Captain or one of their members. You can tell if a team is open or private by looking next to their name.
