STGT is run on this forum and registration happens here, but the thread isn't up yet

As with previous STGTs, you will have an option to sign up without a specified team, and will then be assigned to a separate, 'free agent' team.

RNGmaster wrote:So, any hard ideas on when STGT actually starts? I'm kind of scheduling my entire summer around this, so it'd be good to know how much time I have to practice before it starts.

The tournament will start on July 25th. Such a starting date will make the tourney end several days before a standard school year starts (28th August). I wanted it to start on 18th, but personal reasons would make running the first week really difficult.

I ask because it sounds like good fun and I would definitely like to participate, an basically just wanted to be sure that registration occurs here and not on some other site where it might easily elude me.

The registrations happen through a forum thread.

Speaking of which, expect the registration thread to go up within 30 minutes or so, after I write the OP. The most important tidbits of information will be in said opening post of the thread.

Damn. Igloo and myself might miss out on the first week.

I'll have my laptop, but I may or may not have access to wifi/roms.

Seems very early this year and smack bang in the middle of the summer holiday season which is going to make it difficult for me.

Surely it's better to have the tournament during a holiday? Otherwise, you'd be at work and stuff.

Anyway, does anyone know when the sign up thread stops taking submissions? Presumably the day before the tournament starts? Have read through a few times and can't find anything

Do I still need to do the weekly scoreboards? I don't mind, but it seemed kind of redundant last year...

RNGmaster · Post by **RNGmaster** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 6:58 pm

One question: Don't we get a little hint of what the next game is going to be before it starts? For example, when we did Cyvern, you guys announced that it was "Item Collection Week". Is there going to be something like that this year?

Week 1: "Isometric Space Shooter with Altitude Control by Sega Released in 1982 Week"

Really? I, for one, found them pretty informative.

Me too.

dex already posts the scores in the score submission thread, so it's largely a duplication of effort. There usually aren't many comments in my results threads, so I wasn't sure if people were getting any value out of them. Although I guess there usually isn't much to say even if you find it informative... "yup, I'm in 31st place now".

Having said that, if anybody would like to see some additional stats or something, I'll try to fit it in. I was thinking about adding some stupid awards last year (best score that didn't count towards the team, biggest jump in rank, etc.), but I never got around to it.

Hey, anything that makes STGT seem as stupid and statistic-oriented as baseball!

Go for it.

Might be interesting to have an award for "Lowest scoring clear." Pacifism challenge, or whatnot.

Reminds me of one of my team's old banners.

Best score from a first-time participant? Best combined score? Biggest gap between first and second overall/on team?

Never played the arcade version, but this one should be shorter than the SNES version.

This game looks like Bubsy ate Gradius with a side of Taito. What a week this will be.
