Welcome to the 2020 Super Metroid 100% Tournament!

Runners of all skill levels are encouraged to compete! Discord (https://discord.gg/2usVyy4) will be the official medium used to communicate with players and schedule races.  If you cannot use Discord but would still like to participate in the tournament, please contact an organizer at the contact information listed at the bottom of the rules.

FORMAT

The category for this tournament will be 100% item collection. The tournament will consist of 4 open qualifier rounds followed by a single elimination bracket. Racers may join as many qualifier rounds as they'd like (and there is no sign up requirement). Each qualifier round will consist of 2 races with the races being 12 hours apart (to hopefully minimize time zone issues). Racers may only join ONE qualifier race per round. A runner’s single best time across all qualifiers will be used for purposes of qualification.  Tied times will be broken randomly, but in the rare event that a tie would determine whether a runner makes the single elimination bracket or not, a special tiebreaker race will be run by all tied players for the bracket spot(s).

Following qualifiers, the top 48 racers will be seeded into the single elimination brackets. The bracket stage will end following the round of 8 where the remaining 4 racers will compete in a 4 way race to determine the winner.  Runners will be seeded into the bracket, 1-48, based on their final standing following the qualifying rounds.  The fastest time will be seeded 1, the second fastest 2, and so on through 48.  The organization of the bracket will be “reverse-seeded” such that the first 16 ranked players receive an effective “bye”, and then runner 17 faces runner 48, 18 vs. 47, … 32 vs. 33.  Matches will be best of 1 (first to one win).  If players who are qualified for brackets elect to not participate in this stage of the tournament, invitations will not pass down and a bye will be seeded in the absent player’s stead.  Final standings will be determined by round eliminated with finish time as tiebreaker.
