Mega Man 1 All Stages Tournament 2017

Welcome to the Mega Man 1 All Stages Tournament! The tournament is open to players of all skill levels. The category is "All Stages". To participate you will need to be able to stream your gameplay (either from a console or emulator). SpeedRunsLive.com will be used for the official timing.  So please familiarize yourself with the rules there. You will be expected to join a Discord server (https://discord.gg/n7Ecx2U), which we will use as our main source of communication. The matches will be streamed, with commentary, to the SpeedGaming Twitch channels (twitch.tv/SpeedGaming, SpeedGaming2, SpeedGaming3, SpeedGaming4).  After a race players may choose to be interviewed, if there is time. 

The tournament format is 4-person Round Robin.  Players are divided into groups of 4.  All 4 players in that group play each other.  The top 2 players in each group advance to the final stage.  Ties are broken by (1) number of wins vs tied participants, followed by (2) fastest time in the tournament.  Seeding into the Round Robin stage is done by PB rank according to the Mega Man Leaderboards when signups close.  Runners with no PB will be randomized and placed at the bottom of the seeding.  Runners who want to submit a PB that is not on the leaderboard must contact the tournament organizers with a video before the deadline.

Each match is "best of 3" -- a player must win 2 races against their opponent (so either 2 or 3 races will be played).  Players are not required to schedule all the races back to back, though they may do so for convenience.   The FINAL MATCH of the tournament will be "best of 5" -- a player must win 3 races against their opponent in order to win the entire tournament.

Players are in charge of contacting their opponent to decide a time and date to race.  The suggested order is shown under the "Matches" tab next to each group, however you may do them in any order. A match submission form and a schedule of submitted matches will be made available on the Discord server when the signups close.

Players will be seeded into the group stage . The seeding will be locked in when signups close. Players without a time on the leaderboard will be seeded randomly below the players with times. Seeding in the bracket stage will be determined by performance in the group stage.

If a player is unable to participate in a match before the cutoff for that stage, they will forfeit that match.

Breaking any of the SpeedRunsLive rules will result in at least a forfeit, possibly disqualification.

Breaking any rules of the 'All Stages' category (e.g. the Double Object "Wiggle" Glitch) will result in a forfeit.

You may play on console, either with a cartridge or flashcart (EverDrive, PowerPak), as well as on emulator (FCEUX is recommended) or virtual console.
