Winter 2012 MK1 Tournament - CANCELLED

It's time to show some love for MK1 and give it a proper tournament!

Date/Time: 4pm Pacific - Friday, March 9th, 2012

This is a MAME/Kaillera tournament; however PS3/360 may be used if both players own a console.

If you do not have Kaillera installed on your computer and/or need assistance with getting it setup, please see this link for detailed instructions:
http://testyourmight.com/threads/tutorial-set-up-mk2-with-kaillera.10759!
(This link talks about setting up MK2, but works for other games as well.)

RULES
  • All matches are best of 5 (first to 3.) You do not need to play all 5 games if one player has already accumulated 3 wins.
  • All matches are free select. You can pick any character you want (except Sonya - banned for infinites.)
  • You, yourself, must post in this thread and declare your entry to the tournament. Do not message me through PM, AIM, PSN, or through someone else. By posting your intent to enter in this thread, it shows you are a TYM member and you will check the thread for updates rather than relying on us to tell you.
  • All entrants are responsible for checking this thread regularly for updates; including dates, times, and match assignments. We will not send out reminders to participants.
  • If connection breaks, then both players must restart the match with the same characters (prior round win is omitted). If the breaking connection is suspicious like breaking right before a victory then the player has a right to report it.
  • In the case of lag, keep trying. If after a few tries the connection is not good, please report back to this thread IMMEDIATELY and a new matchup may be made for you with another opponent.
  • You will have up to the 2nd match to quit on account of lag if it is really unplayable without being faulted (after the 2nd match is played you must continue the rest of your remaining matches even if lag begins to creep in.) You must notify your opponent you are quitting due to lag and must report this ASAP in this thread in order to get a new opponent. Otherwise, you may both be disqualified. Therefore it is best to play early in case you may need to swap opponents as there may be no available opponents left if all matchups have been played. This lag exception ONLY applies to first round matches. All subsequent rounds MUST be played regardless of lag.
  • If you have been previously banned from the Kombat Network, you are not permitted to enter the tournament.
DISQUALIFICATIONS
  • Failure to meet match deadlines, failing to post score results of a match, voluntarily quitting in the middle of a match or at any time in the tournament, any sort of suspicious activity (impersonation, ban evasion, etc), or anything else deemed inappropriate or unsportsmanlike is grounds for disqualification. TYM staff also reserves the right to disqualify a player with or without notice at any time.
  • If a player is DQ'ed then a reserve will be used. If there is no reserve, then the player will receive a bye. Byes only allowed in the first round. If a replacement player is needed in subsequent rounds, it will be determined from the previous rounds' highest scoring losing player. If there is a tie then the winner will get to pick.
One last thing: Video recordings are not required, but definitely appreciated!

I'll join, but I'll also need a little help setting up MAME or Kailerra. Also is Sonya going to be banned?

I'm not as keen with MK1 as I am the other MK games. Why should Sonya be banned?

edit: Just watched YouTube videos to see why. Yes, Sonya is banned.

I'll take that as a no then. If you can't use kaillera as a fallback, you won't be able to enter.

Due to lack of signups, this tournament has been pushed back to Friday, 3/9.

@Gruntypants, can you still make the tourney with the new date?

I'll signup just to get this thing moving. Only 3 signups (not including me?) Cmon!

It's not looking good for this tournament. We need at least 4 more players to sign up by Thursday night or the tourney will be cancelled.
