So I've set up a weekly tournament which runs every Sunday between 18:00 and 21:00 for DS members. I appreciate that this forum isn't that big, but hopefully we'll be able to get enough people to have some good races. It's probably best that people join towards the beginning of the tournament (just after 6pm) so as many people as possible can race together, but anyone who turns up late will be able to race against CPUs (on hard difficulty)
Basically, everyone will take part in 12 races (but not necessarily all together) and whoever has the most points at the end of those 12 races by the end of the tournament wins that week's tournament.
Here are the rules:
-150cc
-Hard CPU
-12 Races
-All items
-All control methods
-Code required
Bring your friends and anyone else you know who has MK8.
THE CODE: 9764 - 6407 - 7548
Practice races are available to play at any time.
My Nintendo ID is TheWiseSalmon and my MK8 Mii name is *Bεnjαmιn*
I hope to see you there.

Good luck!
I'll probably disable it. It works well in large tournaments as it gives you the chance to face new people every 4 races, but seeing as ours is currently quite small it just seems to mess things up.
Anyway, some good games. I fear I didn't quite get the top position this week. You seem to always manage to beat me on the line while dazeruk seems to have an infinite supply of super horns. >:(:D
Anyway, I'll be back for revenge next week. ;-)
Hey, if you're given a horn you gotta use it!!!!!
The team switch meant I kept ending up in empty rooms.
-Firstly the room switch just results in people being put in empty rooms, so I'll get rid of that entirely.
-Secondly when people have finished their 12 races, they get thrown out, meaning whoever is left can end up being put in an empty room. I managed to get my 12 done, but I think my leaving meant others were no longer able to complete their 12. So in order to avoid this, if you can, rejoin the tournament once you've reached your quota. You can no longer gain any more points, but it means other people are still able to gain their own.
Another thing I'll do is change the time from 18:00 - 19:00 (or maybe 19:30) to encourage people to join as early as possible to ensure as many as possible race together.
Finally, I'll just mention that if you are thrown out and put in an empty room, leave and try rejoining a few more times. If there is one, you'll probably then be put back in the room with people.
Hopefully with these changes, next week's tournament will run more smoothly. It would also be good if we could have more racers so if you happen to be reading this thread, feel free to join using the code in the original post.
It's because our tournament is so small that by the time you joined at 7, most people had already finished. See my above post for advice and changes I'm making for next week; the main one being that the time will change so we're more likely to be all racing together.
Fingers crossed for next week
You missed a perfect opportunity to use the gamepad! I was doing both, great game, I'm living in the Netherlands so I was grateful to see that penalty haha.
1. *Bεnjαmιn* - 160
2. dazeruk - 150
3. Luke - 107
4. -GONZO- 58
5. Julz - 44
Not particularly fair though as not everyone was able to finish their 12 races.
If all goes well, next week should be a lot more fair.
I just went on, and it said it was closed.
Will be back next week.
