2nd German MD Championships (Feb 27) - NOW ENDORSED BY SEGA!

I bring great news from the world of Mega Drive Competitions!

I am proud to announce that our second German Mega Drive tournament will this time around officially be endorsed by Sega of Germany! It will take place on Saturday, February 27th, at 13:00 in the "Konsolerie" in Nuremberg.

With this support, we are now able to actually announce prices to be won for Germany's top three Mega Drive Gamers!

This time around, the tournament will be held in a series of knockout rounds in six games/categories:

Platformers: Sonic 2
Racing: Micro Machines 2
Sports: NBA Jam T.E.
Puzzle: Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Action: Mega Bomberman
Beat'Em'Up: Super Street Fighter II*

*(Eternal Champions would've been another choice but we went with the SF-franchise because of the wider appeal)


Participating and advancing in each event will grant the player points adding up to his overall score. One doesn't need to compete in every game in the challenge - but it improves the chances for becoming Germany's Allround Mega Drive Champion!
Also, we'll also have something for the winner in each single event, so it also pays to compete even if you only want to start in a single category.

If anyone's interested (Deutsche Zocker, hier seid ihr gefragt ;) ), one can just PM me or drop me a line at germanyhttp://vs188031.vserver.de/images/klammeraffe.gifmegadrivechamps.org

I'm really excited about this new opportunity and am looking forward to the event with much glee.

Thats awesome! personally I would pick SF2:SCE over SSF2 since it plays considerably better imho.

SSF2 is a good choice, but yeah, they're both great!

Congrats btw! :-)

I would LOVE to come, two problems though:
-I live in the US, poor-ish
-I only know some German.

Well, anybody who can make his way down to Nuremberg is welcome ;)

By the way, we've set up a Blog where we intend to publish new info (in German, of course) on the tournament (like game-specific rules, number of contestants and such) as time progresses:

It's very bare-bones so far, we intend to fix that come next week ;)

COVERAGE! COVERAGE! COVERAGE! COVERAGE! COVERAGE! COVERAGE! COVERAGE! COVERAGE!

I love your championship coverage. I can has article?

Like you even needed to ask :p

still two weeks till the tournament... currently we'll have 13 competitors... wo-hoo! :D

I'd go if I had more money, I already spent it on Hotel reservations for vacation in July and Oktoberfest which which I try to go to every year. this tournament though should be interesting w/ at least 13 drunks playing Genesis games.

Ha!

Drop me a line when you intend to check out Oktoberfest, my new office is only a stones throw from there ;)

I can't wait to see how this turns out. :D

Bumping this thread one more time...

Our tournament will commence this Saturday (February 27th). So far 14 challengers have announced their participation.

Should anyone else still be interested in participation, registration is still possible until Friday.

Brilliant stuff Phantar, I cannot wait to learn the results of the up and coming German Mega Drive Championship. The Sega endorsement is fantastic and a true credit to what you guys have built up in such a short space of time. Good luck with everything and I will see you in October when the titans from England, Germany and Portugal will battle for the supremacy of Europe once more :ok:

Yeah, the Sega endorsement is great stuff indeed... btw, I got the confirmation:
The best three players will receive one copy of "Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing" each!
Can't say anything about the game yet, but the prospect alone is aweseome ;)
