Internet Gaming Bash of the Year 2014

[CaptainJivePants]

If it's not too late, I would like to add Team Underground Ghost, consisting of Galloping Ghost and Underground Retrocade players. We don't really have a site, but I can say the following people would be possible participants who all exist on Aurcade.com:
Chris Teter (CaptainJivePants)
Matt Walters
Fred DeHart
Jamie Tibbetts
James White
Duc Dang
Brian Kita
George Gaynor
Mases Hagopian
Jason Latko
Caitlin Oliver
Tim Vermeulen
Tim Vanderkolk
Edward Lee
Peter Gorz
Jeremiah Smith
Pete Hahn

Is there anything we can do to get our team added and make sure we comply with any and all rules?

This was revised Kong.

Each team is picking four total games. All games will play for the duration of the five week period. Game selection is due prior to tournament start (tonight at 12:00 EST).

See post 102 in this thread for revision details

Hey, this is a post. Everyone likes posts. Four posts, right?

I am terrible at this internet thing.

[Josephjo]

Your team has to pick 4 games Caitlin yes.

If you pick the same game as an other team. The team with the lowest number of players gets to pick another.

[MrBumpNJump]

So is it now 24 games being played with the new entrant into the comp?

[Wolf]

yep 24 games

Good stuff.

I was checking out the spreadsheet and noticed that I'm listed as John78 and not John73 - not that it really matters and makes me seem 5 years younger, can you fix it?

I think my name is correct on the score submission form, so not sure if this will cause database errors when scores are submitted.

[Wolf]

lol i will have tif fix that

[cheetah32p]

We're still working on things at this very moment. It'll all make sense when the time is right.

Team Epigroove... I believe we are actually going with the name the Galloping Retrocade

We are made of players that play at the Galloping Ghost Arcade and the Underground Retrocade in the Chicagoland area.

Any changes may have to wait due to the entry time on your team. For the moment, please embrace the Team Epigroove name!

We're not doing that anyway for reasons discussed in the group. For now it's just Epigroove anyway and the end result will unlikely be associated with either arcade.

Welcome GGA and Underground Retrocade players

I hereby claim underdog status for team Aussie Arcade as we're the smallest

The Gates Are Opened

IGB Update June 30th, 2014

Players may play on MAME, stream from arcade cabinets, or play on the RU site (using score mode and submitting completed games). Players not playing on the RU site should retain INPs or streams in the event questions arise. Screen shots are acceptable, though discouraged unless no other means is available (an example: a player is unable to stream at an arcade so they capture a screen shot). It is up to the player or individual team to manage their screenshots or files. Please do not send these files to us unless requested

As a reminder, this is an honor system tournament. Play accordingly and with generally acceptable rules in mind. If in doubt as to what is and is not legal, ask. Sites are encouraged to ensure that their player submissions are in line with player capabilities. Disputes with game play (if any) will be reviewed on a case by case basis by all sites. Let’s make every effort to avoid disputes for everyone’s sake.

Submissions are for games played within the contest time frame. Please submit early and often so we may maintain an up to date, live as possible scoreboard. Please do not hold on to scores. Scores may be submitted for each team using the following links:

retrouprising use this https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1hSr...aEzaU/viewform

EPIGROOVE use this https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11Um...equested=true#

Please note:
• We do not have a hosting solution at this moment so at times google docs may crash or not respond. Should this occur, refresh the page.
• Players will need to submit scores via form for the score to be validated, otherwise expect a day turn-around to see the score updated.
• If you have any score related problems, contact Wolf

What a stressful start. I think i worked out most the kinks in the board, but man, i really didn't account for the new team. I slept like 12 hours this weekend. Caught up on sleep today and lost it all to fixing this stupid board. I am going to bed. Good night.

Please report any issues with the board.

[cheetah32p]

The board looks really awesome! Great job! Just waiting patiently for my name to be up so I can start submitting some scores! :-). Hopefully soon! :-). Keep up the good work on the board! :-)

[TodayIsForgotten]

Thank you everyone. I think i have fixed the team sorting issue. And as i mention the top 5 scores will round out. Which is starting to do.

Cheetah. I will get to you at work in about an hour. Now im going to get 10 minutes of sleep.

[CaptainJivePants]

Thanks again for adding us at the last second. We tried to bring in a little variety with our game selections, so please let Jamie (Dr_SaGe) or I know if you need help finding one of the roms.

My only question right now: What are the settings/dips for Elevator Action, ADS or ACS? Just want to make sure we get the Ghost one set up properly.

[Dr_SaGe]

To clear up any confusion with Aero Fighters/Sonic Wings...

Play using the Sonic Wings ROM not the Aero Fighters ROM.

Sonic Wings is what it is called in Japan. Aero Fighters is what it is called the US. But the American version was wussified. We are playing with the manly Japanese version.
