2008 Karter Contest

Another even-numbered year, another contest. This year the list of contestants is a record 140 karters! To help narrow this huge field down to a reasonable number quickly, we'll be having matches with more than 2 people in them for the first couple rounds.

• Round 1 will have 8-player matches. You can vote for your 2 favorites, and the 4 karters with the most votes will advance.
• Round 2 will have 4-player matches. You can vote for your 2 favorites, and the 2 karters with the most votes will advance.
• Round 3 and on will be a regular 1v1 bracket.

Voting will take place on the message board, or through email. You must be a member of one of the Mario Kart Player's Pages, or a member of the message board with at least 50 posts, to be eligible to vote.

The contestants have been divided into 16 groups of 8, plus 2 play-in groups. The play-in groups will have the first matches, and the top 2 players from those groups will move into the main tournament to fill in the 4 gaps.

The groups can be seen here: Karter Contest 2k8 Groups

After Round 1, the 64 players left will be shuffled into completely new groups of 4 people for the Round 2 matches. After Round 2, the 32 players left will be placed in a traditional 32-man single elimination bracket.
