I'll re-post from the OP how the tourney will work, for those who are new/can't remember/don't check the OP:
Next Tourney - 7th March 10:30 GMT
Mario Kart 8 is finally here! To celebrate, how about an official ranked Mario Kart 8 Tourney? It'll follow the same general feel as the Mario Kart 7 Tourneys, put in the tourney code, post in here to show you're ready about 10 minutes before it's due to start, wait for my signal to go in, then it's every man for themselves! If something happens which means you can't take part; don't just "not show", please inform me beforehand so we aren't waiting if at all possible. Repeated missing of the tourneys will mean automatic exclusion from any future tourneys, and your points total to be reset to zero.
Most important thing as usual is to have fun, this will be a weekly thing and the performance in this tourney will go towards the official rankings in the Mario Kart 8 thread. So try your best!

Please enter all required codes and be here about 10-15 minutes before the tourney is due to start. Post here when you're online and ready to go, then at the start time the group leaders (myself for Group 1, ??? for Group 2) will enter and post. It is imperative that you then enter the tourney promptly thereafter, but not before. Odds are on that we will enter at exactly 10:30PM; but do check before entering (even if it means lots of refreshing!)
Depending on how many competitors there are will determine how the tourney will work. For more than 10 competitors, we will be split into 2 groups (see the codes above) and then the top 4 from each group will move into the "Finals" group thereafter. Here, there will be five more races to decide the ultimate VGC champion, so try your best! If there are fewer than 10 competitors then we'll skip straight to the "Finals" group and do a free-for-all there. The whole thing should last approximately an hour.
