OK, it's been four years, and time for the biggest Donkey Kong 3 event in the world to start up again!

For those not in the know, the Gobblet is a tournament that happens once every four years where a bunch of DK3 players battle it out.

I'm doing it differently this year.

So, basically this is how it'll work.
They'll be four different rounds.
First round is for everyone. The first round starts on Friday the 22nd and ends on the Wednesday the 27th.
The top 8 players then battle it out the next two days Thanksgiving and Friday. The 28th and 29th
Then the top 4 players battle it out on Saturday the 30th.
Then the top 2 battle it out on Sunday

Like last time, this will be five man only, and will be on MAME Hard settings or if you're playing on Arcade Dip Switch 3 settings Twin Galaxies Tournament Settings

Anyone who makes it to the top 8 gets $10
Anyone who makes it to the top 4 gets $20
In the finals the loser gets $50, and the winner takes home $100

This will be paid with PayPal or I can mail you a money order.

Good luck everyone

Woo hoo!

The rules say "WolfMAME 0.183 and 0.261 are the only acceptable MAME versions for this competition"

and "Arcade and Mame .223: Difficulty 3 -- Mame .183: Hard"

so I'm figuring dip switch for difficulty must be 3 for WolfMAME 0.261

Should "Additional Bonus" be changed too (I don't know what that if for) or is default 30000 OK? Cheers!

Amazing score by Justin Elliott to win this thing. Simply amazing

thanks for putting this together, george! you deserve a ton of credit for not only helping to keep this place alive and well but for selflessly paying money out of your own pocket to run a CAG tournament in 2024. you're a good dude.
