#PastebinMonday 02/07/2022 TA2022 Week 1 Prep in the Books Edition

'Sup, doods!

I didn't really get into as much prep for the tournament broadcast as I would have liked. I did, however, get in my first few runs for the qualifying/seeding stage. So far, I'm 3rd seed. As soon as I get a sub-8 V-Hard, I will be in 2nd. It helps when you get a Hard mode time that was “world record” for about 12 hours. It doesn't matter too much, though. Yoschi will be 1st seed (again, just like 2018) and everyone else (read: me, FFR, foxyman) will be fighting for 2nd. I can't say I didn't expect this. I'm primarily glad to see most of the usual turnout as well as a few new faces, good enough for 17 entrants so far. I hope we can recruit more people to join! I might have to do some tagging to spread the word...

I'll be back on Friday night to improve the V-Hard time. In the meanwhile, I will catch up on archive uploads and run moderation before actually getting to implementing the changes I am brainstorming for the tournament broadcast.

That’s my life story for the week. Later, doods!
