On Thursday, 6/27/2019, from 5-7 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Arcade Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).

I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.

The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This is the 4th year I've hosted a teams tournament. You can find the results of previous years here:
Summer 2018: (never happened)
Summer 2017: Triple Trouble Win
Summer 2016: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2015: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Win
Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Win



This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs.

If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.

You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is but if you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested in joining but don't have a partner and I'll find someone for you. Your team may contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role. If you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested but don't have a team and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.

Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to replace them.

NOTE: You don't need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. Also, the games of this tournament will be available to everyone while the tournament is active.



The games that this tournament will include (some of these might change):

Mixed System:
-Bomberman '94 (TG)
-Super Spike V'Ball (NES)
-Final Match Tennis (TG)
-Motoroader (TGCD) ?

Super Nintendo:
-Vs. Collection
-Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament
-Super Bomberman 4 (English Translation) ?
-Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge ?
-NBA Jam ?

PlayStation:
-Micro Machines V3
-Shaolin
-Crash Team Racing ?
-Crash Bash ?
-Micro Maniacs ?

If you know of a good 2 vs 2 game, please recommend it and I'll see about getting it added!
Games with a ? next to them are games that aren't confirmed for this tournament yet.


The games will be grouped together and each week a team can veto a group which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.



Requirements
-You should preferably live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above
-You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:
//www.vsqlpl.live/boards/thread.php?id=60334



Prizes
1st = 300,000 Viz or $300 Worth of Steam Games (aka 30 Raffle Tickets)
2nd = 180,000 Viz or $180 Worth of Steam Games (aka 18 Raffle Tickets)
3rd = 90,000 Viz or $90 Worth of Steam Games (aka 9 Raffle Tickets)
Click here to see all the games you can choose from if you win.
(teams will share the prize)


Trophy Award
Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.


Penalty
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.

The virus has spread. The emergency relief team working to contain the Davideo7 virus has become infected, and now the symptoms of this virus have become apparent in each of them. They are now each masquerading as Davideo7... If you see a Davideo7 during your venture across Vizzed Board, be sure to be extra careful and examine him carefully. It might not be the one you think it is.

For more information... you're on your own. Good luck out there.

I've extended the signup deadline by a week for the annual Bomberman '94 tournament. I was hoping to get more users signed up for this tournament. We have a good amount at 16 right now but was really hoping to get at least 20 users. So if anyone is interested in trying for any of the cash prizes (us $175 worth) or if anyone is interested in hanging out with fellow Vizzed users, there's nothing to lose with signing up. The tournament is mostly casual for the most part, it doesn't get very competitive until the final weeks of the tournament.

If you or someone you know is interested at all, you can sign up here:

For the first time in years, I'm offering out cash prizes to the top 3 winners of the annual Bomberman '94 Tournament! I'm planning on making this as much of a community event as possible. I'm trying to get as many users involved and also want to get as many of the matchups live streamed as possible so that we can also get a lot of users involved with spectating the season long event.





In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations


This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the selectable times and days that you're available to play. As long as you're available 2 nights a week between 7 PM - 9 PM central time Wednesday-Saturday nights then you'll be able to participate. You can even miss a few matchups and still have a shot at making it to the final matchup (but just don't miss too many otherwise you'll be added to the netplay ban list).

Here's your chance to be part of the awesome team that helps keep the site going with new content and content management. Being part of the staff is of course volunteer work but you do at least get rewarded with lots of Viz (which lets you redeem game codes in the Vizzed Market) and also CP. It also lets you strengthen any skills that you might want to use for a future career. For example, write a bunch of Game Guides, Articles or Reviews and use those as examples of what you're capable of when applying for a future job in the industry. Additional benefits of joining the staff include:
-Access to exclusive features and forums
-Access to features before they're released
-Access to games and systems that aren't available to everyone
-Recognition and respect from the staff and vizzed community
-You'll be granted a permanent Elite member position (which is the highest non-staff position on the site that offers some staff benefits) after you've left staff assuming you were a staff member for at least 3 months and earned at least 1000 CP toward your staff roles

Application will be closed on January 25th and then the current staff will vote on who they think should join the staff. The new staff will be hired January 29th.

You can find a list of available positions that you can apply for at the following thread:
