This is a team based tournament and there is a draft to create the teams. There is an effort to make the teams as balanced as we possibly can. The event is for players of ALL skill level, from true casuals to some of the very best players in the genre. That's very dear to me.. it's actually the main reason I've decided to organize it (with the great help of my buddy snowcrash, the webwizard).
We're playing 10 games that players will be voting on once the signup process is over.
Here is the website we use to submit our scores https://calice.snowcrash.fun/
You can see the results of the first two tourneys.
All Mame (no forced versions.. PCB are obviously allowed and so are accurate ports)
Signups will be open March 3rd til March 27.
Tourney starts on April 10 and will end on May 10 included.
The tourney relies on the honor system. Screenshot only unless you're submitting a top 3 score (what this means is, if you're going for a score that you believe to be on the top 3, you should be recording your runs). Accepted video format is Youtube (unlisted is fine) or a Twitch highlight. Players can submit with an INP but they'll be required to "convert" it to a video of YT within the first week of submission. Video proof isn't necessarily to prevent cheating. It's to give other players something to watch, learn and discuss to improve their own scores. They could search on Youtube but I find it so much more interesting and personal if videos made for the tourney are available for this. Helps creating bonds and such.. Also, there will be a stream of the best runs the tourney had to offer on my Twitch as a closing celebration.

You can find me on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/dent4f , other than being the channel I use to stream shmups modestly.. it's also where the poll results is announced first and where we watch the Closing Ceremony featuring one of the best runs for every game we played in the tournament.
Thanks!
