It's a Knockout! 2011/12

[mihcael]

It's a Knockout! is a classic Amiga knock-out tournament run by the forum members of Lemon Amiga and English Amiga Board. Returning for a 3rd time, the ever-popular knockout tournament takes centre stage once more. Five games will be played over seven weeks. Score high and knock out your opponents.

Voting for the comp Starts Now (November 13th) and will remain open for two weeks. Once voting is closed competition will begin!! Voting: Lemon Amiga - EAB

The first round of competition will be a qualifying round. The following rounds will be run in a round-robin format until only 2 competitors remain! The final two will battle it out to be the "It's a Knockout! 2011/12" Champion.

 More rules and general overview

Voting will be limited to games played during the 2011 Lemon vs EAB Super Comp.

which are...

• Soccer Kid
• Batman The Movie
• Xenon II: Mega Blast
• Yo! Joe!
• Indy Heat
• Turrican II
• Superfrog
• Zeewolf
• Ruff 'n' Tumble
• Vroom
• Pang
• Pinball Dreams
• Alien Fish Finger
• Llamatron
• Magic Pockets
• Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge
• Dune II

How do I take part?
Easy. Firstly get yourself either a real Amiga or an emulator like WinUAE or E-UAE. The current round thread will tell you which game to play, give links to where it's available, link to manuals (if they are online), and tell you any extra rules for that game. To enter take a screenshot of your highscore (or a photo of your tv/monitor screen if you're using a real Amiga) and post it in the game thread. You can use free image hosting sites like Imageshack or Photobucket to post your scores.

All competitors must be a member at either Lemon or EAB, so if you're not already, it's time to join!

Just a little note to say,

You don't have to vote to take part in the comp, you can just turn up when competition begins.

And if you do happen to vote but fail to take part, that is not a crime either.

I will update here when the voting is complete and competition begins.

Would be awesome if at least one person from amigaorg can make then journey across to lemon or eab to post a score

Just over an hour to go before voting closes if anybody is interested.

I will post the schedule once voting is completed should anyone wish to take part
