Congrats to all the winners! The rest should all be forever ashamed of losing.

Seriously, thanks to everyone that participated in the tournament. Some really nice scores posted in the final round, I'm pleased to see that so much players beat the game with a low score. Awesome effort from everybody!

Special congratulation to Tom that achieved to lower the bar under 19k on this one, an incredible feat!

See ya all around for the 2014 weekly contest.

I also wanted to add a big Thank You to Bimmy for running these contests every week. You make me spend time with these little gray chunks of plastic that would otherwise sit on my shelf indefinately. Let's be honest, I basically coasted into this tourny on participation points(only placed top 10 twice), but it wasn't all for nothing because I would definately say i've improved and will probably be posting better scores this coming year...yeah, we'll see.

But seriously, I love these contests, thanks for doing what you do.

One more thing I will throw out there. If the prize winners want to trade prizes with each other, that is completely fine. If two of you want to swap prizes, let me know ASAP. I am going to do a run to the post office on Tuesday, and as long as I know that a few of you are going to make a swap, I can mail out the games to the new owners and save you all money and trips to the post office.

Yeah,if anyone wants to trade carts with me,I'm cool with that. If not,not a big deal either. Of course the only carts I don't have are Little Nemo,Die Hard,and Empire Strikes Back and I don't really care much for the last two.

I also wanted to extend my gratitude to Bimmy, Guillavoie, and Tonya for these tournaments. It been alot of fun.

Honestly, the score I posted I really thought wasn't enough to even place. Saw some sick scores from some good competitors. 2014 should be good since I've seen some new people chime in asking when the new one starts up and with it being SMB, this should be interesting (my guess is low score again).

Conrats go to rdunner, dev, and logo for wining the top spots in each tier! See you all in a few weeks, I'm kind of glad to take a break so I can get back to playing Super Mario 3d World.

I would congratulate the winners, but I'm a sore loser. I'll get you all next time! Thanks to Bimmy for taking the time though. It's surely a lot of work on top of your everyday life and we all appreciate it.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your kind words. And I really appreciate you guys playing every week and making the weekly contests a fun thing every week. The 2014 Leaderboard thread is now up with the full list of games for 2014. There's a few revisions I may have to do to the game list, but I should hopefully have that all sorted out by the time the contests start on February 2. Even if I don't have it fixed right away, the games in question are not going to be played for a few months, so everyone will still have time to get the games if they need to.
