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 2016: Vizzéteers Win
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 should preferably 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
-If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here:

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.

i would love to be apart of this if possible alot im unable to play games anymore not sure w 

I'm interested in joining in as a backup player for a team. I'd need to make sure I can be there, and I know there's at least one week I won't be on for, but I'm willing to give this a shot.

If anyone wants me, I'll be interested in being a backup :3

I'll pretty much be online everyday for a few hours at least~

I'd like to join this tournament as a backup... I'm more than positive I can be available for 1 hour out of the week. 

Not a lot of users signed up yet. Hopefully we're able to get enough to do this tournament this year

Me and gamerforlifeforever would like to start a team called the "Shiba Gamers" 

I'll try and get more people to join

yup, I was thinking about just being someone's backup this year, but we need as many teams as possible for this tourney to even happen. That's why I'm going to be Bara's partner again.

All of you guys played last year (to an extent). Maybe some of you would want to play again? 

Barathemos :
I would like to join but I'm banned until Spring 2018 due to lack of participation in the last Bomberman tourney. Sorry...

Well I suppose (if it's possible) I'll just make my own team since it looks like we need more teams... (again only if it's okay)

We'll be called the "3D - N00B$" (dash mark and dollar sign not needed).

And it doesn't really matter who's on my team, but if I have pick then just let me know please.

noooooooooooooo thank you! I had my fun

Davideo7 : By the way, I edited my post

I would like to join Triple Trouble with Foxy if that's alright. My real life issues are finally resolved and I have a consistent schedule. Would it be okay to join?

Me and Vanelan are signing up. The only reason we didn't sign up sooner is because we were trying to think of a new acronym which we finally figured out. We will register under the name Mods Violating Protocol. Team MVP has gotten 2nd place twice now but third time's the charm, or so they say. Gonna take a ride into the danger zone 

Vanelan :

Zlinqx : As long as we do lots of montages, we are sure to win this time!

Oh no, was the deadline yesterday? Is it too late to sign up? Me and my brother Andz816 are interested in signing up as a team...Shoot, I have been all over the place lately, I wish I could participate more vigilantly!

I'm going to keep this open a little longer so that we can get some more people signed up.

Theo Vellum : Yeah that's fine.

pinkeyedtree : You're fine. What would you like the team name to be?

Davideo7 :
Awesome! A team name, eh? Hummmmmmm~~~...

andz816 :
We are going to go with  Beta Bros!

I kinda like Untitled Name too lol
