Due to the large amount of potential guests we are moving the venue! Don't worry; it's just down the street, features a large air-conditioned area with plenty of tables and chairs, has a dynamite internet connection and is just feet away from awesome food/drink/football. The Iowa Hillel House has been gracious enough to let us nerd out in their space. Call Game Geeks at (319) 471-2126 if you need additional directions!

122 E Market St, Iowa City, IA 52245

Also, the doors will be opening at noon but it will be crazy downtown with the Iowa v Iowa State game!

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RE-RECREATION - FREE
Contestants will play a specialized reproduction game cartridge. A player has 6 minutes and 21 seconds to play, which is divided up into three mini-games. The first mini-game of the competition is to collect 50 coins in Super Mario Bros.. The next mini-game is a version of Rad Racer where players must complete a specialized Nintendo World Championship course. The final mini-game is Tetris, and this lasts until time expires. Once time expires, a player's score is totaled using the following formula: (Super Mario Bros. score) + (Rad Racer score x 10) + (Tetris score x 25) = final score

HIGH SCORE CHALLENGE - FREE
Can you hang with the best? Get your initials on the scoreboard of these classic games and win. Each game has a scoreboard and if you crack the top 3 you'll get some marvelous goodies. Whoever is on TOP of the scoreboard will take home a copy of the game; some of which are rare, CIB, etc.

SPEED RUN COMPETITION - $1/RUN
Play a number of games and have their time recorded. Running out of lives will result in a system reset, continues may not be used. The fastest time at the end of the day will take home some awesome prizes! (Mega Man 2, Contra, Super Mario Bros, Batman, and more!)

It will be played on carts. Zips whatever. Normal. Choose any boss.
Fastest recorded level completion time at 5 pm takes home a prize. Probably Mega Man 2.

Other speed run game rules will be announced in the event page.

it's just stage by stage, not the game completion?
Right. Pay 1 dollar to play any stage once, one life. Have time recorded. Fastest time, regardless of level choice, takes the prize. If we can get peeps into a game completion competition we'll rock it but all of the speed run challenges will be fastest whatever format. Speed things up, keep competition closer.

You realize that some stages are longer than others, so obviously all you have to do is just pick Crash Man (hehe) and then you'll win real fast.

So this is buster only then?

After conferring with Rob we are revising our speed run portion to more adequetely suit both casual players and seasoned veterans. We will be providing a new game list and a more comprehensive ruleset for this portion of the event soon. Thanks!

Yes sir. The tournament rules for Melee and Project Melee will be the same conventional rules as all of our events.
