NNIDs aren't necessary. Community rooms can either be open to everyone (thus will show up in the tournament search) or require the knowledge of the code (thus gives control over who will be able to play). The creator of a community room will be the only one who can edit its rules, but only during times when the tournament is inactive. An individual person can create up to four community rooms.

Like I said in my previous post, these rooms work differently from how they did in Mario Kart 7. A group of players is not locked down after the first race has started, instead people can still join from race 2 onwards. Anyone who has completed the set number of races will be automatically returned to the lobby; this means that someone who joined in race 2 will not return to the lobby like the rest, but instead play another race (provided there are competitors available).

So you set up a room for tournaments and set it's unlocking time to the official start of the tournament. At that point people who have the code will be able to enter and should all get connected into the same group without problems. I am not sure if the creator of the room gets a "Let's start." command; if that's not the case, then there should be a window of about one to two minutes where the game waits for the room to fill up and lets people pick their track of choice.

As for rules:

1) Race or Battle mode.
2) 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, mirror.
3) Items: All, none, shells, mushrooms, various others.
4) Time limit: Only applies if battle mode was chosen.
5) CPU: Choose whether or not empty slots will be filled up by CPU drivers.
6) CPU difficulty: Easy, normal, hard.
7) Number of races: 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 16, 32.

Thanks for the information, Rol. I would've looked it up but it seems no one has an in-depth write-up or analysis on this.

Would you say 150cc, All items, w/ CPU drivers set on normal is the best choice? I'm going to have to think about how many races I think is best, but 5 seems like a good choice.

After counting up all the Racers that have currently signed up for the May 31st tourney I have a grand total of 22. These being:

Me (NintendoPie)
NobleTeam360
Conegamer
Slarvax
Tbone
RCTJunkie
MoHasanie
Cheebee
Ktay
TheKingofRedLions
Einsam_Delphin
FatedReality
AlphaCielago
_Crazy_Man_
TechnoHobit
LelouchViBrittania
Jizz Beard the Pirate
CycycyChris
Dulfite
Temoporary_126
Menx and finally, Leadified.

This means two different tourneys must be held, if I am correct. In that case, there are two more possible Racers that could join in for the second tourney. Both will be held at the same time and the Top 5 from each will be recorded here. A combined Top 10 tourney might be necessary in order to discover the "true" #1 for this week.

How does this sound?

If 2 people don't show up, make it 2 tourneys of 11 people.

Why not taking Top 6 of each tourney, and then having a final Top 12 tourney instead of Top 10? (of course, that would be if all 24 people show up).

And maybe making another tourney for the 6 through 12 racers from both tourneys, and find out who's the best of those? (Just so everyone has the same amount of fun, and to see whose the best loser )

That's all I think... I want some huge tourneys to happen. 



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

NNID: Slarvax - Steam: Slarvax - Friend Code:  SW 7885-0552-5988

With the new Mario Kart TV function does that mean we'll be able to get videos of the tourney races?



Signature goes here!

All you must do is post in this thread showing interest in playing MK8 with us at the time posted, such as you are now.

Should I add you to the list?

That is officially 24 racers. I don't think I'll be taking anymore than that, unless an influx of people sign up.

Edit: I think what I'll do for new sign-ups is to include them in the race for next week. That way every race will have an even (or near even) amount of people in it.

Ugh. I'm guessing that the NNID Room option would end up being the best and easiest way to do this.

In your second paragraph do you mean that I need to create a new room every Saturday in order to make it work properly, though?
