Everyone take a deep breath, count to 10, and remember that this a video game tournament.

And as a slightly famous man once said, "Video games are meant to be fun."

Homer, my  comment wasn't directed at you.  I just wanted to set the record straight with everyone, and hopefully end that debate, so we can get back to the fun part.

Count me in... I've emailed my entry submission.   My current HS is only 266,000, but looking forward to joining in if I'm not too lowly on the DK ladder :)

IT's all good to me! I still have a small outside chance at this point only because I finally got to lvl 19-6 but still don't have the skills to put up the really big game. This is all for FUN and think it will be a blast! Go go go!!!

oh no!

And there goes any chance of me being the highest scoring Aussie within the field  :'(

Is there any chance of everyone who is participating posting their PB before this starts?  I'm guessing I'll be at the bottom of the list with a 266K score.   This will be heaps of fun, I just hope I can manage to post a qualifying score, anything over 250k will be a good day for me.

I've managed to bump mine to 183600, I'm using this as an incentive, I will make it on the score board. But I figure even if I have no chance it can't hurt having more people streaming dk at the same time.

So at some point in the next few days I'm gonna update my blog with an announcement/summons to this tournament.

But first, we need a name for it!

Since it's an open tourney (aside from the million-point exemption), this one really has no particular or essential connection to the Kong Off wildcard division, and is not a "rematch," so "Donkey Kong Wildcard Tournament Rematch #2" leaves a lot to be desired.

Anybody got any clever ideas? My brain isn't in title mode right now.

And I guess it doesn't need to be clever.

I don't know, The DK Open? The Kong Klassic?

In any case, we're gonna have to call it something...

I can't think of anything witty at the moment, but I like the DK klassic!

Hold up a minute there fellas.....

1)  As of now the official name is "Donkey Kong Wild Card Rematch".
2) It is associated with the Kong Off. (Official announcement to come on TG's site.)
3) It is an official Twin Galaxies sponsored tournament. (Official announcement to come on TG's site.)
4) This tournament is still owned (for lack of a better word) by Eric and I, so the TG and KO affiliation will not change that fact that we control every aspect the DKWCR. 

Eric and I have spent a lot of time discussing and tweaking every aspect of this tournament to make it as simple, fair and as fun as possible.  But we also want to take it to the next level to get as many people involved as possible.  I can't really say much more, but I"m pretty sure you guys will appreciate the way this tournament will affect the KO3 wild card division.

So Chris, you're gonna have to roll with "Donkey Kong Wild Card Rematch"  ;)  And thanks for giving the tournament a plug on your blog.  I think that will really boost it's exposure.  We'd like to get at least 30 people playing on the 16th.  We're only 4 away.
