Here's some new intel I got from John the other day...

so I'm just going to copy and pasta this..
As for the Rules..

Mario Kart Wii

- 4 players compete at one time
- Players can use any controller. Wii mote, nunchuck, Classic controller, GC Contoller, etc...
- Note: we'll only have 4 wiimote / nunchuck at the time, so you can bring your own Classic or GC controller to the tourney...
edited: I got everything unlocked... everything is legal to use.. Thanks to Ian's help
- Bracket Placement: For the first round, depending on when you sign up will determine your spot in the brackets, and what spot you get at the start of the race... Second round and beyond... The points the player get in the last round will determine what position they'll get at the start of the race..
- Banned characters: my Mii
- Players will race on three courses in the 150cc class during their match
- We'll use the point system they used on 4 player mario kart (I just learned that they have their own point system when I was playing multi player alone to test stuff out..
- if there's a tie.. a 4th race will be added..
- The 4th race will be a mirror race course.
- top two finishers will advance to the next round
- items is set on balanced
- Maps will be announce at the day of the tournament.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC

- We're using the 360 version
- HORI Xbox 360 Fighting Stick EX2 is okay to use during the tourney (this rule might be change, cause of stories I kept on hearing about modding joysticks)
- It'll be a best of 3 out 5
- Double Elimination Bracket
- Bracket Placement: For the first round, depending on when you sign up will determine your spot in the brackets.. note: Some players might get a first round bye...
- time limit: 99 secs
- Banned characters: Shao Kahn & Darkseid

so yeah.. that's the rules for now... rules won't be final final til Friday.... the 19th...

edited the first post with the new intel I got from John....

 

Yo Ron,
I gotta check my work email, but I downloaded a savegame that has everything unlocked for Mario Kart (otherwise I would've needed to unlock on 8 consoles)

Just download the file to an SD card and do a transfer. Pretty easy and then all racers and karts are available.

 

according to page 6 on the mario kart wii manual, it said "the save data cannot be copied to an SD card".....

So how did ya do it?? and sent me a copy of that file....

 

It can't be copied TO an SD card, but it can be copied FROM an SD card.

Get it here.

It definitely works. We ran 6 tournaments with this save game on 8 consoles.
