Game Link?

Here it is: https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/game.php?id=464

Rules?

For each round, the players will have 3 days to face their opponent, if the players don't have their match, the match will be considered a tie, EXCEPT if one of the players PROVE that they CALLED their opponent and the opponent DIDN'T show up, saved if the opponent had a reason to not be active, in this case the match will be considered a tie.
In order to make the calls for the matches between the players, the call MUST be made in PROFILE comments, make sure you have profile comments TURNED ON for the duration of the tournament, if this is not respected, when the match ends up not happening, the match will be considered a WIN for the player who HAD profile comments turned on, to turn on profile comments, go to 'Edit Profile & Settings' and turn the profile comments on.
The deadline for your score submissions for this round will be January 25th at 17:00 (5 PM) Central time (Vizzed Time).
Attention everyone, I managed to contact David and for the duration of the tournament, Netplay for the game is free, now you all will be able to do your matches.
To create a Netplay session, go to the game page and scroll down the page, there will be a box with a link allowing you to make your session, click it, a new window will appear, name your session, and make sure oyu select sonikku's server! His server works the best, select 2 players and the amount of spectators (WARNING, if you put too much spectators the session will lag a lot).
Get your matches done.

How this will be worked out?

In a period of 3 days, you must face each other and when the game ends, take a screenshot of the score and post on this thread, if it is possible, try to record the match.
To do the matches make sure you play on sonikku's server, since it works best.
The player who hosts the match will be player 1, if you are player 1, you host the Netplay session.
The game must be played with these settings: Round 1, Friction 32.

How to play?

D-PAD left and right: Spins the shot aim clockwise and counter-clockwise.
D-PAD up and down: Move the shot aim farther or closer.
A, B: Make the shot
To determine power: The power meter moves automatically, to use the amount of power desired, wait until the power meter lights red until the amount of power you want to use on the shot.
You will have 3 shots to pocket 1 ball, failure to do so or pocketing your own ball will make you lose one ball, or as you all know, a 'life'.
The more balls you pocket in a row of shots, the higher the rate, the higher the rate, the more points you earn, if balls are pocketed at ONCE, the higher the points AND rate.
The amount of points you'll receive per ball can be determined by the number on the ball, being ball 1 earning 10 points, and 7 70 points (not including the rate).
The player who pockets the last ball on the round will earns an extra ball.
If a player manages to pocket ALL the balls WITHOUT missing a single will earn them a PERFECT!, which will greatly increase the points earned on the round, greatly increase the rate and EARN 2 extra balls instead of 1!

No links to the game on this thread? also what are the prizes for this tournament?! 
Thanks..Booomer

Yeah I agree that you should put the prizes in this thread. Also, since none of us live in Brazil except you, can you put what time you are intending this to end Sever time? That would probably help out some users that dont realize you can google that sort of stuff.

I knew I was forgetting something, thank you for reminding me, first post updated.

awesome.

Cool, thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to playing. I messaged my opponent to try and schedule our round 1 matchup. Hopefully it goes well ;-)

Good luck everyone!

Jordanv78 : me and you are in this competition   I might want to  practice a bit or i might get pwned

SuperCrash64 : Eh I haven't played this game that much in a long time. Although I have played it before. Also you probably want to edit your original post. I'm pretty sure what you said is against the rules.

Jordanv78 : I never played though sorry there didn't know saying that was against the rules and I just learned I needed a net play thing oh well looks like I wont be entering this competition 

hey the netplay isnt open for this game????? you need the netplay item to play in the tournament?

Yea I'm not able to start any Lunar Pool matches either I was under the impression that this tournament would be like the tecmo tournament I which the Net Play is free. I'm in the process on stacking up points towards my Net Play but that wont be done until after the tournament if you need Net Play to play in this tournament I will probably not participate unless all my opponents happen to have Net Play. Otherwise I wont be able to play any matches

Seishiro Leonhart :

 VERY important update! For me to run this tournament better, I need that EVERYONE become Normal members, being a Normal Member you are able to join Netplay sessions, please post at least 10 times and wait until you become a Normal member, if you have at least 10 posts on the board then don't worry, you should be Normal by now.

To do your matches, you can do the following:
1 - Contact me saying which time (Vizzed time) you plan to do your match, so I can create the Netplay session for you to join, after I leave the session; Try to warn me sooner, and not right at the time, the reason I made this tournament is to cut off some of the lowliness boredom, so it is possible that I may be on other sites.
2 - Try to ask a Trusted+ Member to create the Netplay session for you, tell them to make the session for the match and ask them to leave the session open for you and your opponent join and do your matches.

This info will be updated on the first post.

Seishiro Leonhart : Wait, even though they are trusted+ they still need the netplay item...

Also I thought when you created a session you were considered one of the players, even if you leave. Have you tested this?

Jordanv78 : You probably know that on Netplay you have the ability to leave the session without deleting it right? That's how they are going into the sessions, they ask someone to create the session, Leave but not delete, the players enter the session and they do their matches.

Leaving the session also removes you as a player from the game, so this could work.

Seishiro Leonhart : Yes I realize that you can leave the game. The problem that I was bringing up was I know in the past that if you created a game, you were stuck being "One of the players" even if you left. So it basically turned a 2 player game into a 1 player game. It may have been taken care of in the latest patch, but that is why I was asking if you in fact tested that.

Jordanv78 : Well, I guess we can only wait see how this turns up.

If this don't work I'm afraid I will have to cancel the tournament.

Is there any way we can get netplay open for the tournament like with davido7's tecmo tournament?

maxhowdy : In order to do that I'd need to talk with him, maybe someday he can add the feature of free Netplay for games which are currently having a tournament.

So I am sorry, this is how I can work out this tournament, if no one agrees with how I am making this, I can just cancel the tournament, but I am trying my best here.

Seishiro Leonhart :  Not a big deal, was just curious is all.
