NHL '94

TOURNAMENT LEAGUE

Sega Genesis #1

Every series is a best-of-5 (until further notice, at least), 2-2-1 format.

Games are 5 min periods, with endless overtime (second overtime must be initiated by starting a new game).

The ROM will be "weight bug" fixed.

There will be seedings to decide who gets home ice in a series, but they will be randomly drawn.

Here's the important part: Every game, the home player picks two NHL94 teams - the away player selects which one they want to play as.

You must have different teams against each other, and different teams every game in a series.

Penalties ON, Offsides OFF.

The tournament is divided into three, 2-week-long stages: Registration (one week this time), Preliminaries, and Championships.

When one tournament's Championships begin, the next tournament's Preliminaries begin, and the next tournament after that will begin Registration. For example, on Jan 2nd, we will begin TOURNAMENT II and start registration for TOURNAMENT III.

If you are in the Championships, you cannot be in the next tournament's Preliminaries - this is so you can focus on your current series and gives more players a chance to get into the Championship round.

BORING RULES

Registration - until Friday, December 18th

Post in this thread if you would like to be in the tournament.

Preliminaries - Saturday, December 19th to Friday, January 1st

Each player registered in the tournament will be randomly seeded into a single-elimination bracket.

New players and players with demerits on their record will be first to receive "play-ins," if there are any.

You will play your assigned opponent(s) in a 5-game series, with the winner advancing to the next stage.

Inactive players should be reported to the thread every few days.

You may "bypass" inactive players, playing later rounds against prospective opponents in order to remain active.

At the end of the Preliminary phase, the tournament administrator will make a decision on the status of unplayed series.

Benefit of the doubt is given to the more active player.

If neither player in a series appears active or responsive, you may bypass that round completely.

The tournament administrator can decide to retain an unplayed quarterfinal past the deadline, removing them from the

NOTE: Registration for the next tournament will occur during this stage. The next tournament begins at the end of this stage.

Championships - Saturday, January 2nd to Friday, January 15th

The semifinal rounds and final round will be played in this timeframe. FINISH UP!

NOTE: Any players playing in this round are not allowed to play in the concurrent tournament's preliminary round, including "retained" quarterfinalists.

Seeding Stuff

Seedings are done randomly, with one exception.

Each player has a "drop rating," which starts at 1.

If you have a higher drop rating than another player, you are seeded worse than them automatically.

If you are inactive, unresponsive, forfeit a series, or get bypassed over a 2-week round, your drop rating increases by 2.

If not, your drop rating decreases by 1 - your drop rating may go no lower than 0. Drop ratings also decrease when you are not scheduled to play.

NOTE: This is a codification of my act of giving players with a bad track record a worse seeding until they shape up. New players effectively become provisional.

Hey Metz! I meant to ask you this little thing:

Can we choose a number of teams per game or do we stick to just one?

EDIT: NVM, I checked the rules agian. I wonder if someone will choose one of the bad teams, though. XD

Yeah, the holiday season made us lazy.

I'll do my series with Logan later.

sooo guys... does naister even exist?

I saw him online a few times, but I haven't talked to him. I'll let him know if he can still play.

hey guys - I'm on vacation in the Pacific Northwest right now and have been pretty swamped with family stuff for the last week (I'm sure a lot of you guys have too).

I'm going to delay the first deadline one week, and start the next signups when I get back from Oregon/Washington. I will also assess advancements on Saturday or Sunday.

We undestand, dude. The holidays can snare anyone in its webs, and then we become lazy.

If you want us to still make our games, we can do so.
