Last chance to play Mario Kart 8!

Starts at 10:30PM, or about 12 hours from tthis post. Will get a full sign up sheet shortly but if you are still interested... Then do say!

I'm in! This is my first time in a tournment. What do I have to do? What time is it in New York (USA) time?

It starts in 11h 20 min from now.

@conegamer, I'm in!

so........ 4pm UK Time?

Thanks. Then do I look for "NintenDomination"?

Conegamer used UK time, so 10:30pm.

Not sure what you mean. If you're talking about where to look in Mario Kart 8 you should just send conegamer a friend request and join his room at the given time.

His NNID is simply "conegamer".

You just need to register me on the Wii U (conegamer) and then all shall be well. I'll set up the room and we'll be good to go!

...

If I can get the damn GamePad working.

Yes, I had to experience that crap with my own senses after all the buzz about it.

Avoid it at all costs. Only some of my PS1 games run at a lower framerate.

But the game itself isn't that bad, a 7-8/10.

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!

Community codes

0642-7368-7206 (Group 1)

6346-6994-8720 (Group 2)

9441-7183-3120 (Finals)

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.
