Welcome to the Chao Island Sonic R Tournament!
Prerequisites:
- You must have an NTSC-U ISO of Sonic Gems Collection. (MD5: F72B3B462E3C26A2D3A9FBBADAF79C6E)
Although I cannot link to this on Chao Island itself, check the pinned message in the tournament Discord.
(Alternatively, you can dump your own disc using Wii software such as CleanRip.) - You must have a custom build of Dolphin 5.0, specially configured for Netplay. Download provided by Anther's Ladder.
(The emulator is also linked in the pinned message in the tournament Discord.) - Your computer must be capable of emulating Sonic R between 25-30 FPS under the Direct3D 11 backend at most times.
Minor and/or infrequent drops are considered to be acceptable. - You must have around 1Mbps or more download and upload speed to ensure smooth netplay. Check at Speedtest.net.
- Super Sonic is banned due to his unfair top speed and high acceleration.
- Out-of-bounds glitches are banned.
- Weather must be set to Clear.
- Races are best of 3. (Best of 5 in finals.)
- Courses are decided through mutual agreement. Radiant Emerald is discouraged due to its bias towards characters with high top speeds, but it is not banned.
- Tournament is single-elimination.
- Players must be present in the Discord on the day of the tournament.
- In the event of emulator desync, a rematch is permitted.
- Sign up on the Challonge bracket. (If you do not wish to sign up for Challonge, leave a note in your post and I'll add you to the tournament manually.)
- Join the tournament Discord.
- Post in this thread confirming that you've joined.
