Hello all  <Pigger>

I will be adding $60 USD towards a 1-1 payout for the tournament.  I will divide it between the 3 highest scores on the first screen (first man only and must complete the screen).  1st, 2nd and 3rd place; 30USD for first place, 20USD for 2nd and 10USD for 3rd.  Love it?

EDIT: My scores on 1-1 during the tourney will not be eligible for payout.

Just thought I would toss this out there:  If the new format of the KO will be a bracketed style tournament, with seeds...and the seeds will be based on the DKO tourneys...and people that don't play in the DKOs will be placed at the bottom of the bracket seeds...granted only 1 DKO has been completed thus far...but it is looking like as of now you could potentially be at a disadvantage to do well in these DKOs...based on that fact that players like Hank/Dean/Jeff W./Vincent haven't played and could be seeded at the bottom...the number 1 (currently Dave) seed from the DKOs could be playing seed 30, Hank Chien = )

LOL.  Definitely a good thought.

I haven't asked Richie about how the seeding will be determined.  I'm guessing it will be some combination of a scoreboard (TG, DKF, etc.) and the online tournaments.  For KO1 (before Jourdan/RK were involved with TG), seeding was based on witnessed/live scores.  I believe RK is supportive of the current TG ownership, so those scores may continue to count.  A related but separate issue is RK will probably continue to favor arcade scores over MAME scores in which case players like Dean will be seeded lower than their true skill level.  In a "high score wins all" format, this was less of an issue-- as long as you were in the top 12, all players were on even ground.

Unrelated thought: If you do face someone tough early and get knocked out, it's not necessarily a disadvantage if those players are eligible to enter the wildcard tournament as a few have suggested here.

Obviously in 1 game anything can happen.  Just look at this year's NH tournament-- so many upsets already.  Although regular DK is less random than NH, it's still pretty random.   

P.S.  Vincent and I plan on duking it out this weekend.  Jeff and Dean have participated before but I don't know what their plans are this year.  But you're correct, players like Wiebe will probably never play in an online tournament.

Yer buddy, it will be my first time participating in an Online Donkey Kong tournament. The bounty for WR is now at 1k, will you aim for it, Hank? I might try for it. But even if it's 1k, 10k or 1m bounty for the WR, I don't care. Because money will go. Money will always go. But the Donkey Title, will stay. Bring it on, b*tch!

Going for the WR is a little bit of an "all or nothing" approach.  I got a little bit burned at KO3 by going semi-all out for too much of the weekend.  If I get a good game early, I may try for it.  I might be going to the Iron Sheik's place this weekend though, so I'm not sure how much time I"ll have.

I'm not eligible for prize money this weekend, but I'll still play a few games just for fun and seeing where I end up.

About seeding for experienced players that don't play in the open, I didn't know they were going to be placed at the end, did someone say that? I would think qualifying through an open should be mandatory then.

I hope everyone is crushing it. I dropped my first quarter of the tourney last night and beat my personal best. Previous was 364k new pb 484,500. Thanks to Ethan and Tony for motivating me from the start. I made it my goal to submit a new pb score for the tourney, mission accomplished! Score submitted. New goals planned...
