Aipom

I have the game, but how do you get on wi-fi? Do you have to buy a special cord or something?-- Aipom --

If you don't have a wireless connection, you'll need a Nintendo USB Connector, another $29.99-$39.99 ($34.99 on Nintendo.com). Wa _T^C_@^Y 19:00, 17 December 2006 (EST)

Suggested:

With the six people we have right now, we can do the following:

A) Have two matches of three people. 3rd place after the match is eliminated. The remaining four have a match, the top two move on. Match between them for the title. Total Matches: 4

B) My idea →

1. Create pairs of people in Bracket A, Bracket B, and Bracket C. These won't be partners.
2. Bracket A plays Bracket B, then B plays C, and A plays C. Each player gets to play two matches: one time against all other competitors and both times against the other player in their bracket.
3. From the combined total of points earned (max 80, 1st in each race = 10*8), determine the top 4 players, or the top 2 brackets based on combined points (max 136: 1st & 2nd in each race = 17*8)
4. Have a final four match, the top two advance; they race for the title.

Total Matches: 5 ;)

Another key component is tie-breaker privileges. My plan is the higher the points, the better. For example:

• The player who was 1st overall in the Bracket round ties in 2nd in the final four match. He moves on because he had more points in the previous round – he wins the tie-breaker.
• The player who is 1st in the final four match wins if it is a 30-30 (two races won each, 10+10+5+5) tie in the championship match, meaning that 2nd place must win three races out of four to capture the title.

These tie-breakers are set so we don't have to play another (boring) two-player match to try to break a tie, which could result in another tie.

Any objections? B) allows for one more match. If we can get 8 definite players, we can a) have two four-player matches, top two move on to final four or b) create Brackets A-D and have 3 matches for each player in the first round (max pts solo-player 120, bracket-combined 204). I personally don't want any "teaming up" to move on, but if that's preferred, we can opt that way as well. Partners/bracket set-ups would be randomly determined.

Thats Great! WarioLoaf (talk)

Guys, should I choose the tracks for each match (also randomly)? I don't want any double-tracks in the same match. Wa _T^C_@^Y 16:10, 18 December 2006 (EST)

Official Brackets

Determined randomly. I know, Knife, you are kinda questionable, so Aipom, you would take his place. If we get 8 people, spots 7 & 8 make Bracket D.

Bracket A

• Steve
• Parayoshi

Bracket B

• WarioLoaf
• Wayoshi

Bracket C

• 3dejong
• Knife

Remember that the other person in your bracket you face twice in the first round, the other players once each. This could or could not work to your advantage! Wa _T^C_@^Y 16:06, 18 December 2006 (EST)

This looks fun! Thank you, Wayoshi, for setting this up. I did steal your idea, though... ;) 3D, {{{1}}}

Possible Track Set-Up

Determined randomly.

#	Bracket A vs. B	Bracket B vs. C	Bracket A vs. C	Final Four	Championship
1	Luigi Circuit	Sky Garden	Peach Circuit	Baby Park	Choco Island 2
2	Cheep Cheep Beach	DK Pass	Luigi's Mansion	Rainbow Road	Desert Hills
3	Mario Circuit	Figure-8 Circuit	Frappe Snowland	Moo Moo Farm	Yoshi Falls
4	Wario Stadium	Yoshi Circuit	Choco Mountain	Delfino Square	Mario Circuit 1

If we decide to have set courses, right now w/ 6 players leaves each course played once in the tournament. Or, we can randomly select courses as it comes, making sure not to play the same course twice in one match. Please leave opinions. Wa _T^C_@^Y 16:41, 18 December 2006 (EST)
