Hey guys I decided to do some races of my own with a bit of a twist on it. Check it out :D

We are racing 12 games but we will be racing to do a specific task in each game. At the end of each round I will give everyone points based on how well they placed in each round. The better the placing the more point's they get. At the end of 12 rounds whoever with the most points wins the Grand Prix.

This season we have 5 people so 1st will get 5 Points 2nd will get 4 Points, 3rd will get 3 Points, 4th 2 and 5th 1.

Even though I have it on the description I will put the Rules and Regulations here as well

Completing the round: Almost everyone will be able to finish. Once 2nd to last finishes (to not be there longer than we should be), I give the last place person 2 minute to finish. If they can't do it when the timer is up or if I don't think they can make it in 2 minutes I will pull the plug and end the round, however, I will award the person the point since I am forcing the quit.

Opting out of a round: If you decide to opt out then you will sit out and make a prediction on who is going to win that said round. Whatever points the person gets the opt out person will get as many points. If you want to opt out again...you can, you just can't make another prediction since I only gave you one lifeline.

Quitting during a round: If you voluntarily quit during the round I will award 0 points to that person.

Disqualifications: I am not going be that strict on the DQs and I think this is fair. If you do anything that you shouldn't be doing during a round such as a glitch (that gives you an advantage of sorts) or anything that isn't normal (background malfunctions or color screwups are obviously not on that list). I will not only drop them down to 5th for that round but they will get 0 points for doing such a thing. If you do it again then you are pulled out of the Grand Prix.

Opting out too many times before a round will lead you to be disqualified. 1st time is a lifeline and you get a chance to get points out of it. A second time will not allow you to get points in that round. The third time is when I will pull you out of the Grand Prix.

Quitting during a round can lead you to be DQed as well. I will allow it once but if you do it again you are out.

Tiebreaker: If for some reason we tie after 12 rounds it will go by 3 scenarios: 1) best personal record between the two or more people. 2) If we tie in the 1st one then its the person who won 1st place more. If we tie in both of them then I will pick a game at random and we will play back and forth levels until someone hits and someone misses. IF we beaten the game then they do it again except its a race and the person who dies the other stops and if the survivor is ahead then its over, if not then they have a chance to pass them and if they do its over if they die before it then the other person wins.

Re-qualifying: Anyone who is placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in this season will automatically be in the next season. If anyone is interested and has the requirements for next season I will allow you to compete.

Anyway those are the rules and guidelines for season 1 and here's the link to the 1st Round http://youtu.be/Jfh4iW2PqUU

I will upload a round every Thursday for 12 weeks. I hope you guys enjoy it.

That sounds neat but I'd rather see a summer-showdown between the LP Heroes and Lantis's crew. I imagine a furious final-round fight between Ixzion and Brightwolf in TMNT: Tournament Fighters.

You know what, Duel. That's not a bad idea. I was actually thinking about doing something like that myself.

Congrats on following through on and finishing your idea. That's pretty difficult in any endeavor.

The battle begins once again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7ArFAyCB1U

It's the same concept as last season. 12 Games 12 Rounds 1 winner.

Most of the rules are the same except I added a couple of things that are new for this season.

Completing the round: Almost everyone will be able to finish. Once 2nd to last finishes (to not be there longer than we should be), I give the last place person 2 minute to finish. If they can't do it when the timer is up or if I don't think they can make it in 2 minutes I will pull the plug and end the round, however, I will award the person the point since I am forcing the quit.

Opting out of a round: If you decide to opt out then you will sit out and make a prediction on who is going to win that said round. Whatever points the person gets the opt out person will get as many points. If you want to opt out again...you can, you just can't make another prediction since I only gave you one lifeline.

Restriction Rounds: This is something that is brand new for this season. 4 of the 12 rounds will be restriction rounds. What that means is they are limited or not allowed to use specific things in that said round.
Example: Mario 2 They are not allowed to use Luigi or they have to use Toad.

Off recording they won't know when a restriction round is happening so when I announce it and they want to "Opt out" I won't permit it. They must quit the round and be penalized. If they fail to do the requirements and do what I say not to do then its an automatic 0 for that round for them...Only way I will DQ them is if they break every single restriction round. However I don't think anyone would be that foolish to do such a thing.

Quitting during a round: If you voluntarily quit during the round I will award 0 points to that person.

Disqualifications: I am not going be that strict on the DQs and I think this is fair. If you do anything that you shouldn't be doing during a round such as a glitch (that gives you an advantage of sorts) or anything that isn't normal (background malfunctions or color screwups are obviously not on that list). I will not only drop them down to 5th for that round but they will get 0 points for doing such a thing. If you do it again then you are pulled out of the Grand Prix.

Opting out too many times before a round will lead you to be disqualified. 1st time is a lifeline and you get a chance to get points out of it. A second time will not allow you to get points in that round. The third time is when I will pull you out of the Grand Prix.

Quitting during a round can lead you to be DQed as well. I will allow it once but if you do it again you are out.

Tiebreaker: If for some reason we tie after 12 rounds it will go by 3 scenarios: 1) best personal record between the two or more people. 2) If we tie in the 1st one then its the person who won 1st place more. If we tie in both of them then I will pick a game at random and we will play back and forth levels until someone hits and someone misses. IF we beaten the game then they do it again except its a race and the person who dies the other stops and if the survivor is ahead then its over, if not then they have a chance to pass them and if they do its over if they die before it then the other person wins.

Re-qualifying: Anyone who is placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in this season will automatically be in the next season. If anyone is interested and has the requirements for next season I will allow you to compete.

Anyway those are the rules and guidelines for this season as I will change it up every season. I hope you guys enjoy this.
