2009 Elite Summer Contest

The 2009 Elite Summer Contest was known as The Viewer's Choice Edition. 2009 differed from the previous six Elite Summer Contests 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 returned to the traditional 1v1, 64 player format, unlike 2008's experiment with 4-way battles.

The Contest officially kicked off on Tuesday, June 2nd of 2009, following a Play-in on the previous day. To vote, Eliters used the new voting system in place on thengamer.com. If voting for the first time, they contacted Ngamer at ngamer@gmail.com in order to have voting profiles set up.

To be eligible to vote, one of four conditions had to be met:

• Membership in the Goldeneye or Perfect Dark Elites.
• Membership in any NGC-Elites ranking.
• 100 posts on The Elite message boards.
• 20 hours logged in The Elite Chatroom.

Those not sure of their eligibility contacted Ngamer over AOL Instant Messenger at ImNgamer about their official status.
