My Fellow Mech-Warriors! I am pleased to announce that the Compete for the Cure Tournament Videos have been uploaded to YouTube. For those of you who weren't around or have forgotten the Compete for the Cure Tournament was a Fundraising Charity Event for the Children's Hospital of Michigan. The tournament took place on October 10, 2015 and was a 1.v.1 bracketed duel that lasted for 15 hours! After editing down 15 hours of video that content is finally available in HD!

Below is a full list of all of the individual matches in order that were dueled out that day between the competitors and a YouTube playlist hyperlink where you can watch all of them as a running video chain. Matches where participants were unable to make their drops were not uploaded and the tournaments pre-games was not as well. However if you do want to watch this content and the entire 15 hours of raw footage I really have no way to provide that to anyone at this time. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

I was a great tournament and quite a lot of fun. It was a massive undertaking and I was happy to see so many players participate. The videos took forever to edit. Windows Movie Maker only allows you to trim in seconds and well 15 hours worth of content converted into seconds is still a lot. I also found that I had to experiment a lot with the tools to get HD video settings. I am glad that I figured it out and it is nice to know that there are still some great free tools out there.

Does anyone know why the editor always messes with your original forum post?

Cool. Thanks for doing this and uploading it all. It was definitely fun to watch some of the forum warriors in action.

The only thing I would suggest is more commentary. I was watching at work in theater mode and I couldn't see the load-outs. Many of the matches you didn't talk at all about what weapons each guy had at all, others you just switched to first person view and said something like "and he has this load-out...", kinda frustrating.

For much of the match there isn't a lot going on. Fill up that time with the load outs of the 'mech and potential strengths and weaknesses of that chassis. Talk about where engagements typically take place on this map, what 'mech might have the advantage due to range, JJ, etc., Things you know about the pilots, ANYTHING to invest me and make the build up more interesting.

Again, great job and thank you. Just my two cents if you want to do this again and step it up in the 'professional production quality' department.

Thanks for the commentary. I will definitely put it to good use. Happy to get theses out there and I am glad you enjoyed.

The morning sessions were really hard to comentate on because it was so early in the morning and I was very tired. By the end of the day I was just burned out but still energized. But after 15 hours straights I was just at my limit. lol
