Kong Off 6 - Standings and Roll Call

[xelnia]

Kong Off 6 @ Arcade Expo 4.0 in Banning, CA is only 3 1/2 months away. There's not a lot of information out there on what the requirements are for competitors and who's planning on going. So, here's what I know so far:

Automatic Qualifiers

Shawn Robinson - Killscreened at Free Play Florida 2016 [not attending]

Player Standings

Per this post, the Top 10 players as determined by the DKF HSL will be invited.

Since we don't know the requirements, I've compiled the top 25 arcade, MAME, and combined players on both DKF and TG. You can see that list here:

KO6 Standings

Use the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet to switch between DKF and TG standings. The box outlines show top 10, top 12, top 20, and top 25.

[VON]

I'm locked.  Prepare your butt holes.

[dnickolas]

I’ll come by regardless since I live close, but it remains to be seen if I’ll put up a score by then.

I personally don't know right now if I'm going to attend. It's like 50/50 chance. But since I don't know anything about maths, it could be anything between 10% chances or 90% chances of attending  .

I invested so much money in all of these Donkey Kong trips for the past years, I don't know if it's worth spending again.

[Barra]

I don't know if it's worth spending again.

Yes it is

Yes it is

Coming from someone whose never been to the Kong Off, probably won't be there again. 

[Barra]

Coming from someone whose never been to the Kong Off.....

.....yet

[Xermon54]

Wht da no, Barra went to the Australia's Kong Off, which is like all of the first five Kong Off combined together in term of epicness

I plan to go if I have a spot in the competition. This post seems to imply that TG scoreboard might be used for qualifying. I hope that's not the case.

I have no idea if it is. I don't think it was the last couple of KOs. I put up the TG info just in case.

There's a rumor going around that only Billy and Steve will have dedicated machines at this event

I expect to be at the event, not sure what days yet tho.  I've only missed one Banning event since AE 1.0, and this one is far enough out from the last one, my wife should let me out of the house again.

Would be great if we could get some more pre-qualifying events between now and then.  That always seems to raise the hype level.
