It is now official. The team behind "DM i TETRIS" will take on the challenge and host the Classic Tetris European Championship (CTEC).

We've been asked and inspired by people all over Europe, after displaying pictures from the last event in 2014. Soon there will be an official team and we will be able to announce dates, rules, systems, location and more. So far, the plans are to dedicate a weekend to Tetris where Friday is the Danish Championship and Saturday is the European one. We will be surrounded by games and fun, so people outside Danmark (who can not compete that current Friday) is still gaming, socializing and having a kick ass time.

Thanks for your interest, and please spread this info..

DATE FOR THE OFFICIAL CTEC:
13th and 14th of March will be the days and nights everyone will talk about! We will hold the Danish Championship (amongst other events) during the Friday and compete in the Classic Tetris European Championship, Saturday. We will follow the official rules (from CTWC) and allow everyone from all over the world to come and compete. However, at the The Classic Tetris European Championship we will be playing on NES PAL systems. There will be more details about, schedule, sponsors, tickets and competitions on other platforms soon.

The event will be at

Re: Classic Tetris European Championship

i plan on being in europe in spring so i will try to come. does anyone know if i can get a european set up so i can practice? i need a TV and NES that will work in the states...

 

Re: Classic Tetris European Championship

Terry you may want to contact Trey to see how to setup a PAL Tetris station. He did a youtube video.

It appears to me you used a computer monitor and probably an emulator.

 

Re: Classic Tetris European Championship

Trey was in the UK playing on a PAL NES + TV at the time. One way to get a PAL NES hooked up to a NTSC TV is to use a converter like this one -- we may not get super clean picture out of it, but my guess is it'll work alright for Tetris.

Re: Classic Tetris European Championship

wasmachstdugern: Hope you can make it! I'll let you know the dates as soon as it's settled.

muf: There was a stream up last year (but it kept going online/offline cause of crappy wifi at the venue) so think they got that under control, if its possible this year. But write a message via facebook, maybe some help would still be appreciated! Either way I hope you are still coming by to play some Tetris.

 

Re: Classic Tetris European Championship

For what it's worth, muf was invaluable to my efforts at CTWC this year to put together a stream that doesn't suck, and it's non-trivial to present a really nice stream.

The stream last year looked like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXU2Jf9T7Yw

That was me rigging it together through my laptop at the last minute without coming prepared because I wasn't actually responsible for the stream.

The stream this year looked like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBoY2oE7lwU

That was with preparation, frantic running around for cables, and a lot of help getting the pieces in place.

First stream is an elgato capture thing (I think?) plugged into the splitter they were projecting from plugged into my laptop. Second stream is 4 webcams, 4 direct captures from the NESes, a couple custom coded PHP scripts, and a few layers of Photoshop work.

It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. And if I'd had muf's box of toys present, it would have been a lot less work

Just saying.

 

Re: Classic Tetris European Championship

Send muf a PM!

We had a meeting today, and the dates are set! Please let us know if you are able to help out, we would appreciate all the help we can get!

Germany will participate

The hotel for my wife and me is booked

What are the rules regarding the start level?

 

The Germans are well prepared, love it! See you there!

Last year we did level 9 start, and I'm guessing we will do that again. But we will update our fb site with more info, as soon as we have it settled! Also a new website is on it's way.

 

Do I understand it correctly? Last year you did in the finals level 18 start.

Is this the right venue?

 

I actually think we changed it on the day, and continued with level 9 starts. But more info, rules etc. will come soon with the new website soon.

And yes we forgot to write that it will be the same place as DM earlier this year, and that is :

Forbrændingen
Vognporten 11

Good decision

 

Three swedish masters(?) will visit denmark

 

Completely overlooked this, but I think I might make it as well... Not saying anything though
