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.
