You are super-awesome Darke. Thanks!

If you don't end up with an even 32, why don't you just randomly draw some first round bye's? It would be a shame if for instance you had 30 people who wanted to participate, and ended up cutting 14 of them! Just have 2 people sit out round 1 (28 would compete) and then you get a nice bracket of 16 for round 2....

If you had say 17 people, create some type of a "pigtail" match where 2 people are randomly drawn, and have to compete to get into the bracket of 16.

Anyways I just think there's plenty of ways to make it work without having to completely cut people out who want to participate.

I look forward to seeing this go down, I love the Sonic sound tracks!

OK everyone! Given that the next Grand Maverick Remix Battle has been delayed due to the impromptu Street Fighter compo, I've decided to start this Sonic compo a little bit earlier so it'll fall in-between the other two compos and we won't have any overlap.

So, my plan is to start a 2-week recruitment period the week of April 15th that'll run though April 29th. Then we'll have a week to get things situated, with the first mixing round starting on May 5th!

Given the amount of interest, I'm going to lock the compo down to the first 32 people that sign up (if we're lucky). If we don't get that many, then we'll have to go with 16. I'm hoping we can get 32 though!

Help build interest and support the compo by using my semi-official compo banner for your sig! And keep an eye out for the official competition thread coming mid-April! That's when we'll start recruiting!

I've got one with and without the date:

Mmh, I hope my exams won't be at the same time. It'd be a shame not to participate to this!

I think I would join as I grew up with the Genesis Sonic games ;)

Indeed it would! Well if you know when they'll be, I could arrange to have you in the whichever bracket wouldn't be mixing the week your exams are (unless your exams are longer than a week ). Just let me know!

This sounds cool. I'll be sure to cover this in my blog alongside the other compos.

Aww, shame I can't actually start mixing until I get a new headset in May. Otherwise, I'd be mixing like mad, because I've got two weeks off at the start of April.
