Re: {LibGaming} MarioKart tourney

I usually do one or two starting rounds where I choose the course and everyone uses it.  I award points for placing, 4 for first, 3 for second, 2 for third, 1 for fourth.  After the two rounds I take the top point earners and they move on (I try to keep the numbers to four and will have run offs if I need to).  After that I usually let the first "seed" of each race choose the course.  Then, once I am down to a final (either 2, 3, or 4 depending on how the numbers work out) I let each one of the finalists choose at least one of the courses.

Subject: {LibGaming} MarioKart tourney


Hello,

I know that this has been discussed before, but how have people run
MarioKart (GameCube) tournaments? I've had successful programs with
Ridge Racer for X-box and Guitar Hero, but I don't know Double Dash
well enough and feel kind of lost as I plan this tourney (which will
take place in two weeks). Did you have 4 people race at a time? If so,
how did you decide who moved on to the next round and who didn't? What
boards/levels are quickest so races don't drag on forever? Has anyone
used the Battle mode in a tournament? Any ideas would be much
appreciated...

Thank you!
