Caffeine Rush 5; Crash Team Racing [subprime wins!]

[iAmCaffeine]

This tournament is based on a legendary Playstation game, Crash Team Racing. If you don't know it, don't worry, you can still enjoy the tournament! I'm afraid this is only open to premium players.

To begin with, the racers will be split into two groups of eight. Each group will play four cups which each include four races. The top four from each group will progress into one final group to fight for the championship. There will be a total of 24 games in this tournament.

All games will be eight players with default settings on Random. There will be a 30 round limit on every game.

When signing up please choose a character from the list below. Groups will be assigned randomly so it's entirely your preference. If you don't choose, I will allocate based on which characters are left when sign-ups close.

The first deciding factor will be number of game wins. If even, number of Terminator kills. If even, number of second place finishes, then third, fourth, fifth and so on.

Invites will be re-issued twice per round before a replacement is brought in. Replacements will be taken during sign up or found as required.

After considering the current set up, I'm making some changes to this tournament. All maps will now be random for more balance and a bit more unpredictable fun. Secondly, the group stage cups have changed slightly in format; all details can be found in the first post.
