About
Shooting Game Tournament 2011 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
This year, instead of the voting from many years ago, or the choice by a dictator from last two years, I have consulted multiple different people in regards to picking the games (huge thanks to nimitz for pretty much doing that during my examination period, and to every person that contributed to picking the games, you rock). The game choices will be kept secret, but I will divulge that it looks like there's more of the less known shooters this year. There might be some info about themes released a bit later, when the choices are set in stone.
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.
Also, while I still want to test how it squares with all the tools I have rewritten for this year, there is a huge probability I will add a link to a webform that will make registration a simpler process, especially for captains registering entire teams. Expect me to say whether I abandon this idea or post the link during the weekend.
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.

Player Entry Form Explained
Username: username of player entry
(You can register for other players, with their permission.)
Desired Team: team name
(You can also enter a new team name if you would like to create a new team. If you do not care which team you are on, leave this blank.)
Team Captain Vote: username of somebody on your desired team
(You can nominate yourself or someone else on your team, see the rules above for the explanation on Captains.)
Desired Team Registration Status: Open / Private / -
This is more for people creating a team that isn't in the tournament yet. If your team has already been created, just fill it in with the decision your captain/team has made about it, or leave it blank. If you are not signing up on a team initially, then you may also leave this blank.
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.
Open = You don't care who else joins your team.
Closed/Private = You or your team members wish to select who joins or does not join your team when they request. If someone you didn't request to join your team joins, the captain must inform me.
Region: country name
(If you are in the United States, please indicate if you represent East, Central, West, Alaska/Hawaii, etc.)
Expected # Week Participation: All Weeks / 3-4 Weeks / 1-2 Weeks / ?
Please only select from the listings given and try to be give your best expectation. This field is more important for 'free agents' (people who don't specify a team), since when free agents are assigned to teams, I will probably write an algorithm to try to make the free agent teams have somewhat similar participation. That said, even if you aren't a free agent, such info might be useful for statistical purposes, or for other members of your team, so go ahead with filling it in.
? = Select this if you honestly don't know how long you'll be able to play.
Finally, should you have a team banner, feel free to post it along with the registration or at a later date. Example banner can be seen in my signature.
As usual, I hope this year will be fun for all the participants.
If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to voice them in this thread.
