EXPERIMENT: Tonight (Fri May 5th) Virtual Mini Tournament - come and play!
Griffin's Friday Night Virtual Tournament
Friday May 5th
Start: 6pm PST/ 9pm EST
End: 8pm PST/11pm EST
Tonight we're going to be running a crazy experiment using the new score board system at www.ArcadeIcons.com to have a mini 'virtual tournament' that anyone can participate in if they have access to the games.
We will also being doing a special Arcade Roadtrip Hangout live stream during the event.

Live Tournament Scoreboard - http://www.arcadeicons.com/index.ph...iew=article&id=7&eventID=0&tournID=18&locID=9
How to take part in the tournament
First make sure you have access to the following titles to play this evening (or head over to a buddies place with some beers if they have them).
Playing the games on MAME/multi/60-in-1 is fine too - this is an experiment in community fun and getting together 'in the cloud'
We've tried to pick a few games that most people may have access to in some fashion e.g. they can all be found on 60-in-1 etc
Factory defaults, 3 lives per game
If you have access to ALL of the above games to play tonight and you want to take part...
Register yourself for free here...

Submitting Your Scores
Just before the event I will 'activate' everyone who has registered before 6pm PST/9pm EST to be able to post scores.
Usually a judge in a single location would do this, but this is a fun experiment, so even though you can see everyone in the 'post score' list, please only post scores for people at your place. (We can ban/kick idiots so play nice)
Once the tournament starts, refresh the tournament scoreboard page on your phone/tablet/computer...
http://www.arcadeicons.com/index.ph...iew=article&id=7&eventID=0&tournID=18&locID=9
you will see you now have the option to 'Submit New Score' at the top of the page. Click this button and use the form to enter your scores throughout the event.
This is a first for everyone and a big test of the new site, so please have patience, have fun and let's see if this is a hit or a flaming disaster.
