This looks pretty cool. What is the proposed format of the tournament? I looked at the links and couldn't find it. And there is probably a bunch more people who could get a max score. There are many people capable at older tetris games but would rather not waste their time jumping through hoops for twin galaxies.

Out of curiosity why NES tetris? Sticking with the classic games I believe gameboy tetris had a far greater distribution(I might be wrong).

ZOMG THATS NOT THE NEWS

From the pdf:

"Alexey Pajitnov will
agree to meet with Robin and the Grandmaster to discuss the future of the game
and the details for arranging an official league. All parties involved will sleep
soundly in the knowledge that Tetris now stands in its rightful place alongside Go
and Chess as one of civilization's timeless brainteasers."

YAAAAAY
