cparsley Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Have you ever been bored due to no fun Intellivision here to take care of the long nights of the cold winter that is about to set upon you? Do you fancy yourself an Intellivision gamer who can rock those decle's? If so, your in luck. For the first time, we are going to hold a Intellivision HSC Knockout tournament. Are you game? Here are the rules... 1) Each game will be posted with a time limit for scores to be submitted. As the HSC rules, photos are encourage but not required except when mentioned for the game in question. 2) Once time has expired for the game, the player(s) with the lowest score will be eliminated from the competition (aka Knocked-out) and the remaining players move to the next title. 3) The winner, simply put, is the last member standing. Are you in, if so, post below to reserve your space in the Knockout tournament? Are you a HSC Moderator thinking this would be cool for your HSC? If so, drop me a private PM and we can get a series of knockouts going, with the winners facing each other in a final, multi-console knockout for supreme Atariage HSC supremacy! Game on!!!

IntellivisionDude Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm in too. I know i haven't participated in the last few games but between work and getting sick didn't really have the time. But i'm laid off from work in the winter and will have nothing but time on my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akito01 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm in as well. Open question though - if a game comes up that a person doesn't own, is that an automatic knock out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gezkc Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Great idea - I'm in. In addition to Akito's question, how would the multi-console knockout work? Would you try to choose games available on multi-formats, or would we need to use emulators to take part in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 To answer some questions thus far... - The INTV HSC will be run independently from the Knockout competition. So, there will be two games for you to enjoy at each interval (at least until the current season of the HSC concludes) - Players are required to post a score for each game to avoid elimination. Failure to post a score would be akin to posting a score of 0. - The multi-console final is in the planning stages at the moment, and may not happen. It needs the cooperation of other HSC Moderators (VCS, 5200, 7800, Coleco, etc. More info on that later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
