The Kong Off (1&2) appear to be a relative hit. Are there other games that could go the same route?

IMO the next one should be a FROG OFF. Maybe the Galloping Ghost or another arcade could host in late 2013 which would allow people to practice. The bar for entry could be set at 750,000 or the top 10 players. This would also allow the spotlight to be cast somewhere else for a change. God knows DK is starting to get a tad bit saturated.

TG says they want to do some arcade tournament series at different locations, but who has the time or travel money to compete? A once a year event is much easier on everyone.

I believe these "OFF" competitions (can you imagine the marketing campaign if we did one for the game Wacko?) are far better to organize.

Galaga-Off.

Head-On Off? I'll be hear all week folks! don't forget to tip the waitress.

Thanks for the info mpstulir. You must have created a good idea in the OFFs for others to copy it.

The Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show would be a sweet host for an OFF or multiple OFFs. They seem to acknowledge world record scores set at their event.

Jesus man you gotta hire a new comedy writer.

How about a POLE OFF for Pole Position? At least the turn over on games would be high because Pole Position last only about 8 minutes as opposed to a 4 hour game of DK.

Galloping Ghost does have competitions. A lot are for fighting games, and they most recently had a pinball competition. A multi-arcade competition for various classic games would be really awesome.

Rob Ross wants to see those naked pics, because he is curious if I live up to my nickname Leprechaun from the joystick at Funspot.

It was awesome. Great people and friendly environment. The place was packed and a lot of energy. Not only there was the Kong Off but players came to break records on other games. The set up was perfect and they had monitors to show games and Richie would announce when someone broke a record (Sound familiar?). I got to know most of the players and they all were friendly. I hung out with Steve Weibe for most of Saturday night and he was a great guy. Pretty much everybody was approachable if you wanted a picture or an autograph. It was overall well done. Most of the machines were in great shape. It was tough for the Wild Card players because there were 18 of them and only 4 machines. That would be the only thing, but I am sure they weren't anticipating that kind of participation. It will be interesting to see how they do the Kong Off 3. The 1UP was also great, it was a bar with machines all lined up on the walls and the bar was in the middle. One of the best places I've ever been to.

You pretty much suggested those things for all tournaments like ACAM
