Welcome to the 2017 Super Metroid item randomizer tournament.

Runners of all skill levels are encouraged to compete!  Signups will close on Wednesday 12th July, with the tournament officially starting on Monday 17th.  Entrants will have 7 days to complete each of their matches. Prior to the tournament, we will be confirming your participation and getting players to join the Discord server. https://discord.gg/tdDUT5T.  Discord will be used to communicate with players and schedule races.  A submission form with corresponding spreadsheet will be made available to submit and display your scheduled times during the tournament. A link to the spreadsheet will be posted here once it becomes available.

The tournament will be double elimination with each match being a best of 3. Matches do not have to be played straight after each other although this is encouraged.

Seeding will be done according to SRL rankings on the Super Metroid leaderboard.  Seeding is determined on the day of the signup cutoff (Wednesday 12th July), so you have until then to increase your SRL ranking and improve your seed should you wish to do so.  Runners that are not ranked on the SRL Super Metroid leaderboard will be randomized and placed at the bottom of the seeding.

This is an item randomizer tournament. The randomizer seed you will use for your match will be generated by an admin using the custom item randomizer program created by total/foosda and will be sent to you prior to your match starting. Anything designated a major glitch by the majority of the Super Metroid community (including underflow) and any form of oob is banned. If you are unsure if something is considered a major glitch please ask an admin.

The randomizer can be found here: https://itemrando.supermetroid.run. We would encourage you to race a few seeds prior to the tournament beginning in order to familiarize yourself with this particular version of the randomizer. For details about the differences between this item randomizer and previous item randomizers please click here: https://itemrando.supermetroid.run/information. Changes may be made to the randomizer during the tournament at the discretion of the admins, details of any changes made will be posted in the Discord to make all runners aware of such changes. Any bugs found for the randomizer program should be reported here: https://github.com/tewtal/itemrandomizerweb

If a match isn't scheduled by the end of the defined week (11:59 PM PDT on the respective Sunday) without letting an admin know, that match will count as a forfeit with no exceptions. If both players are considered no-shows (worst case), both players will be forfeited in order of seed.

Failure to finish the game within a 5 hour limit will count as a forfeit. The restream may stop after one player has finished the seed, in this instance the final race results will be taken from srl recordings.

PLAYERS MAY NOT CHEAT!!! This ruins the fun of the tournament. Cheating includes things such as watching your opponents stream alongside your race, viewing Twitch chat, watching the restream or listening to the live commentary. Players caught cheating will be instantly banned from the tournament with no exceptions.

Players may use cartridge, flashcart, or emulator.  ZSNES and Snes9x 1.43 are banned.

Players will use SpeedRunsLive to time and record their race.  The time listed on SRL is the official time for the match. All players are required to stream and to follow all SRL rules.

Matches will be streamed to twitch.tv/speedgaming, twitch.tv/speedgaming2 or twitch.tv/speedrunslive along with commentary. If you would like to be considered to commentate a match please nickflash and admin. Admins reserve the right to remove people from commentary should their commentary be deemed inappropriate and/or offensive.

For questions please contact Feral5x, Straevaras or Feasel. For questions or feedback on the randomizer program please contact Total or Foosda. Discord is the preferred method of contact.
