The tournament is open for any and everyone to participate in. The goal of each game is to complete all 8 worlds, defeating Bowser at the end without the use of any wrong warps or warp whistles while enduring the randomization of stage order, enemies, items received, map locations, and more.

NOTE: You must join
the Discord server in addition to signing up here AND on RaceTime, because this is how we're going
to communicate and coordinate with one another throughout the
tournament.
For the complete details of the Super Mario Bros. 3 Randomizer settings and tournament format, check them out here. All Races will be raced on racetime.gg and streaming will be required. Streams will be restreamed with commentary to the SpeedGaming Twitch channels (There is no guarantee all matches will be restreamed, but we will certainly work to get everyone in as much as possible).
The tournament is comprised of two phases. Phase 1 will be Swiss and consist of four rounds, with each round consisting of two races. The players with the highest score at the end of Swiss play will advance to the final bracket (number based on number of participants), while all remaining players will advance to the Challenge Cup. These brackets make up phase 2 of the tournament and are both single elimination, best 2 out of 3 (best 3 out of 5 for finals and third place, at the runner's discretion).
The version of the
randomizer (1.4.4.1) and Mac patcher (2.2) used may be updated prior to the beginning of the
tournament, but will be static through each stage of the tournament.
