The '''2008 Elite Summer Contest''' is known as ''Viewer's Choice Edition''. 2009 differs from the previous six [[Elite Summer Contest]]s in that:
* The bracket was selected and seeded entirely by nominations ballots cast by the Elite community- there was no selection committee behind the choices as there always had been in the past.
* The tournament will return to the traditional 1v1, 64 player format, unlike [[2008 Elite Summer Contest|2008]]'s experiment with 4-way battles.
The Contest officially kicks off on '''Tuesday, June 2nd of 2009''', following a Play-in on the previous day. To vote, Eliters should use [http://thengamer.com/updates/elite/2009/vote.php the new voting system] in place on thengamer.com.
