This is true due to the lack of modem access now that broadband has killed ISDN and the ol' dial-up connections for the internet (yes, some very few people still have dial-up).

Just to make sure not EVERYONE cheats, I think it would be best to implement the "pics-or-it-didn't-happen" rule. Yeah.

For sure you will have to do it as offline tournament. But it can be good if you'll use a video approvment of the player's performance as i have do for the 24 Hours le Mans Challenge.

Videos are pretty good proof, since they are tough to modify. :mrgreen:
Pics aren't that bad either, it's just that everyone has one way or another to take a picture of their screen, y'know? And I'll speak for myself and say... I don't have anything to record footage from my gameplay :?

For all of those interested in the tournament, it's started already:

This is exactly why i say that, cause a video are more difficult to modify then a picture. It's just a way to have a clean tournament and that player's do not suspect any cheating from each other for their performance ^^

I think asking for video proof is too much. Most people have no way of doing so. It will severely limit the amount of participants. It's all about fun anyways. I held two game contests here and never had any problem with cheating that I know of (we used image proof).

Hi Impulse,

I agree that for this kind of tournament it will be too much to ask video proof cause it's on a short term, so a pic should be enough.

By the way, what happend with your test drive le Mans times, still not make some laps ?

I didn't know about Dreamcast.es back then, sorry!
A very nice site, should #12 really happen, I'd be glad to have you participate. Though I'd need someone to translate the rules etc. into spanish.

I'm up for it ,I to would like to start a DC tourney scene on DC fighters where I'm from right now just for the f*ck of it. Maybe I should go to SRK (don't like the site) and bring it up to them.
