Bracket
32 player bracket has been requested by many. To respect the longer matches and the schedule we expect to set up so 4 players play at the same time (competing in pairs as usual) until the time frame clears and we can focus on single 2 player matches. This means, two matches will be played at the same time.
Weekend Overview
DAY ONE: Friday is full of qualification buzz & we expect high scores at a previously unseen level. Tensions are high and players fight for their spot in the 2022 championship bracket.
CTEC players can compete on both the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System & the handheld classic Game Boy. The program leaves room for both competitions.
DAY TWO: Saturday. Let the pieces rain! Saturday will kick off with the last qualification scores and then it is on like the Tetris long … bar. Commentators will guide the audience through the fast-paced Tetris supported by cheering & gasps from the crowd.
CTEC is an open cup and welcomes the whole world to play Tetris on PAL mode on original hardware and lovely CRT TVs in Copenhagen. Classic eSports at its finest!
For guests/audience & players we have also set up a bunch of different Tetris versions on many different videogame console platforms to play for free. There is no pressure to play and we will also set up a fun-station for everyone to see how far they can get in this wonderful game.
It is possible to buy soda & alcohol on location. Stay hydrated.
After the event we will meet up at the Tetris after-party Bip Bip Bar, Fælledvej 7, 2200 Copenhagen.

CLASSIC GAME BOY LIMITATION BUG
Please remember that we play on original Game Boys and that their hardware has this challenge. It is not the CTEC equipment, it is how the Game Boy is build.
As mentioned in the video – you are allowed to bring your own classic Game Boy. However, only to be used when we are not competing via VGA (as it will add benefits to some). VGA is expected in the finals and maybe earlier in the bracket. Depending on attendance and number of Game Boys brought along.
