NSFCD Olympics: Mario Kart Wii Tournament

(logo coming)

Board Member: Rius

Greetings, denizens of NSFCD! Welcome to the thread for the Mario Kart Wii Tournament!

Race to the finish! To the winner of the tournament, 100 points! All participants will receive at least 10 points. See the Contest Rules for further details. If you are interested in competing, please reply to this thread with what times are best for you that day.

Mario is without a doubt the icon of all gaming. His senior Pac-Man and his junior Pikachu... neither hold a candle to the most successful video game character of all time. Appearing in over 200 games (excluding cameos) and donning several uniforms, there are few characters in history as prolific as this humble hero. In tribute of The Mario, the NSFCD Olympics features the Mario Kart Wii Tournament.

Bracket. If you are interested in competing, please post in this thread.

[Spud]

I'm playing. I should still have the game around here somewhere.

[Kayo]

Well, this intercourse ing sucks. My internet connection sucks, and I was hoping I could get points for amazing time trial times but I guess not.

I'll try, but I probably won't be able to. ;_;

[DededeCloneChris]

Sign me up for this one, please.

It's June 30th right now, on the day this topic was made. No one is able to register for the tournament.

...jokes aside, sign me up, now that my Wii is repaired.

[The Riddler]

Glad I don't have a Wii and can't play in this one either.

[Rius]

Alright guys, I want to get this started within the next hour if it's fine with you all. Sorry, I forgot to post the time.

[SkyMyl]

>match starts within the hour
>thread was just posted today
>three people are interested

[Rius]

More than enough for me. 3 people is actually quite a turnout on this forum. Unless people would rather have it tomorrow during the Nuzlocke contest.

[SkyMyl]

Whichever you think is better, dude. I can participate tomorrow and soon. I just thought...you know, we'd have more participants and more time to sign in.

[DededeCloneChris]

I agree. This was so sudden that fewer people showed up. I suggest that this tourney should be held later.

[JrDude]

I want to, but can't today, unless it's tonight and I remember. I remembered last time (SSBB), so I don't think I'll forget.
I'd be here by 10-11PM (Pacific time), so yeah.

[DededeCloneChris]

So...what now?

[FruitFlow]

I would love to participate in this.
Do I still have time to sign up for the Olympics or is it too late?
I read the qualifications and I appear to be eligible.

But that's only for you to decide.
