In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following:
-1-5 Player Free for All
-2 Players vs 2 Players
-1 Player vs 1 Player
-Other possible combinations


This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the selectable times and days that you're available to play. As long as you're available 2 nights a week between 7 PM - 9 PM central time Tuesday-Friday nights then you'll be able to participate. You can even miss a few matchups and still have a shot at making it to the final matchup (but just don't miss too many otherwise you'll be added to the netplay ban list).


In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points. Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated.


For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz.

3rd year in a row and I am DETERMINED to take down Davideo. Everyone join and let's take down this titan

Sign me up please! I don't live in the United States, but I have a good internet connection. I do however have problems with the netplay using the MAMEhub. Mednafen works great for me though, if that's what's being used. I've gotten pretty good at bomberman I think lol.

After what happened to me in week 11 last year, I have to come back and redeem myself. I'll be participating in this one.

Also David, You never updated the Tecmo Tournament thread after the final week, and you never gave the top 3 their prizes. I asked about this last month on that competition's discussion thread, and never got a response. Can you please take care of that?

I'm signing up. I've gotten a lot better over the past 2 years, and I feel I could do really well.

I would like to join in on this, but I would like to point out that I'm not in the US. As best as I can understand, my connection should be able to handle playing the game on Netplay, but this might need to be confirmed. I'll leave it to davideo to see if he'll allow me in or not.

Would love to join this again but the timezone difference is going to make it impossible, even if I could enter it would probably affect my performance. Not that I think I would stand a chance of winning  Should be fun to see the outcome at least.

Foxyman1113 : If anyone has a chance, its probably you.


Sign me up. I probably won't make it too far, but I'm always up for a bomberman tourney! :3

I'm on the fence. I'm a lot busier this year since I have a full time job and a serious girlfriend and am still doing Youtube and Twitch besides. I think if I can get the game to capture for streaming, I'll join, and if I can't, I won't. In the past and yesterday when I briefly tried, the game just shows up as a black box in OBS, so we'll see... I love playing Bomberman, but I also don't like committing to long-term weekly things. I'll try to have a definite answer soon though.

Vanelan : Nah we all have a good chance. We all get so close to beating him but I know we can do it.

Foxyman1113 : You're too modest. Its always a showdown between you two at the end.

Alright, I figured out how to capture it, so I guess I have to join now!

I had to change the rendering method from DX11 to OpenGL and do display capture in OBS Studio, by the way, in case anyone in the future has the same problem.

I can be there 

I'll see if I can. I know I had trouble with netplay the last tourney, so can someone please help me test it?

Linkums : I'd love to have you in our tournament. I think it'd be great for streaming as well. I'd be more than willing to join your stream in a Skype call any time we're matched up together if that'd make things more exciting. I'd understand though if you don't for the reasons you mentioned. Ok I just read your 2nd response and it looks like you're in

happygamer12 : Sorry but you're on the netplay ban list.

Fancdew : Let me know once you've figured something out.

I would love to participate in this, but every attempt to netplay has been unsuccessful. I've tried reinstalling the plugin, adding exceptions to my anti-virus, switched anti-virus software, run it with my anti-virus and firewall disabled, disabled my browser extensions, tried five different browsers and still having problems. The game loads fine, but when it fails every time it tried to join either server and then the emulator automatically closes. The game works fine if played locally, but netplay just looks like a no go...

I'd like to join, PLEASE.

Davideo7 : I've been trying to be patient, but I'm fed up with not receiving a response regarding the Tecmo Tournament.  Why haven't you posted the results for that, and why haven't you handed the top 3 their prizes?

gamerforlifeforever : Maybe because I've been busy as heck. Pretty sure that's the reason. I guess I've just been too focused on not losing my house.

m0ssb3rg935 : Have you tried Chrome?

Abdullahboys : You've been added.
