This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This is the 4th year I've hosted a teams tournament. You can find the results of previous years here:
Summer 2015: Vizzéteers Win
Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Win
Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Win



This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs.

If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament.

You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is but if you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested in joining but don't have a partner and I'll find someone for you. Your team may contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role. If you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested but don't have a team and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate.

Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to replace them.

NOTE: You don't need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. It also now costs 0 Viz to join a session of a game you don't "own". More information here.

Games with a ? next to them are games that aren't confirmed for this tournament yet.


The games will be grouped together and each week a team can veto a group which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it.



Requirements
-You must live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users)
-The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above
-You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable
-Games work best in Firefox so it's recommended that you do these in Firefox (but not required)

Trophy Award
This is a newly added feature. Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page.


Penalty
If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss.



Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, June 27th.

Sign me up, hopefully I can get a partner this year.

I'm likely not going to compete in this tournament unless somebody needs a backup.

Davideo7 : Are you going to need a backup in this year's tournament? If so, I can be your backup.

So I guess I will be looking for a teammate. I do not know if anyone wants me but I want to participate since I have like all day free.

gamerforlifeforever2 : I'm not sure yet, I'm still looking around. I'll add you to the list of users looking for a team as a backup.

IM in i call davideo7 team if i can

I'm in.

I'll do this as a backup, if anyone wants me. This sounds fun though!

This seems interesting. I remember going in one year. If I join I'm mainly in for bomberman lol. I'll think it over, but I don't have many plans for the summer anyway
The only problem is I know how to play bomberman and that's it. I don't think I could have someone depend on me like that xD

I'll be teaming up with the user awesomeguy279. 

SIGN MEEEEE UPPPP im ready!!!! I'm down to team with anybody!!!! oh and NBA jam would be a good 2v2

lacktheshack13 : You wanna team lacktheshack13?

GlazedKitten : sure, we can definitely team up!!!

I'll join this tournament! Who wants to team up with me?

DisneyGamer : I can team up with you if you want.

Davideo7 : I want to compete.

Davideo7 : I would like to participate

Juliaisme123 : What will your team be named? And who is the team leader?

lacktheshack13 : Is there a version of NBA Jam on the site that supports 2 vs 2? You should confirm that for me.

GlazedKitten : What will your team be named? And who is the team leader?

Davideo7 : I change my mind due to time restraints
Sorry i gotta quit

Davideo7 :  Alright. I'll participate. But the Netplay is going to DESTROY my data so I request that my network I.P. is removed from the ban list as soon as you have the time. I can PM you it, it got banned because my brother (Avreetheboss) Did a re-reg while he was banned. I'd love to participate, however. This sounds like it'll be a whole lotta fun.

Sign Me Up Bro! I'm Lookin For a Teammate Tho....
