I will have to change my stream channel to lakeman421 on USTREAM: . Classic Video Games  or http://www.justin.tv/lakeman420 since Twitch discriminates against Mac users now.

Must be Vincent.  Who else both hates Hank that much and would make the math error leaving out the decimal place in his donation?

Wow, I was thinking of only playing a couple games on sunday night until I saw this bounty. Gonna have to reconsider.

Message to anonymous donor: You are so boss.

[tessler1134]

Mitchell - I did not see your name on the registration list.

Remember, everyone must register in order to play in the tournament and to be eligible for cash prizes.

Good luck to everyone!

[marinomitch13]

Yeah, I'll be registering shortly (I was actually debating just watching... but not anymore  )

[tessler1134]

Just got it and added you to the list

...just wanted to also throw out a reminder as well in case anyone who wanted to play did not register

***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***

As you all know, the Kong Off 4 will be coming up later on this year. The new structure of the KO 4 will most likely be based on a bracketed layout. The seeding for the bracketed layout will involve the Donkey Kong Online Open Tournaments. It is in the best interest of all players to participate in as many DK online tournaments as they can to obtain their best possible highest score. Players who do not participate in any of the online tournaments who also participate in the KO 4 will be seeded at the bottom of the field in the order determined by the event coordinators. More details to follow...

Good luck to all players!!!
