Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 2018 NA Weekly Contest Year End Tournament!
After a first round of glorious competition between our original 12 gladiators,
9 players made the cut to enter the bloody second round of this yearly tournament. We give a warm applause to the players that fought with digninity but fell in the combat:
Yoshi,
Seppatoni and
the tall guy, respect to all of you! For this time around,
3 groups of 3 players have been formed from their respective tournament seed, with a little twist here and there to have all new competitors in the second round :
Group A :
1st bertsampson
5th Krunch
11th gutsman004
Group B :
2nd tablew/chairs
6th skinnygrinny
9th Ausden
Group C :
3rd arnpoly
4th mbd39
10th smick
The top seed of each group will pick the game their group will play in second round, and the worst performance in each group will be eliminated. The games available for second round are :
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Life Force
Double Dragon 2
1st seed has the first choice, then 2nd, etc. A game cannot be picked more than twice, and if a game is played by two different groups, the two groups will morph into one group of 6 players where the 2 worst performances will be eliminated.
Rules are revealed after every group know which game they are playing.
I kindly ask for bertsampson, tablew/chairs and arnpoly to post or message me their games of choice till tomorrow so the games can begin!
bertsampson picked
Life Force to play in group A.
tablew/chairs picked
Mike Tyson's Punch Out to play in group B.

- You will be allowed to loop the game 3 times only. After you beat the game for the 3rd time, take your picture once the game starts over on the 4th loop. No playing on the 4th loop or beyond will be allowed. Anyone suspected of this will have their score disqualified.
- Make sure to snap a picture of your score before heading into a boss battle. You cannot see your score while fighting a boss. If you think you may use up all your lives at a boss, preserve your score before going into a boss battle.
- If you fail to destroy Zelos's heart (final boss of the game) on any of the loops, your run will end there and you will have to take your picture. Failure to destroy his heart results in having to replay stages 4-6, which could be done infinitely.
