Mario Kart 64 Tournament - VA 2018 Semi-Finals

These were the semi-final rounds at the Virginia 2018 MK64 4P VS tournament. All matchups with video times are listed below.

Rules/Info:
19 people were entered in this tournament with the top 7 returning players from last year's tournament getting a bye into the top 16. The remaining 12 players each played 1 round of all 16 tracks to try to earn one of the remaining 9 spots.
In the play-ins, each player plays 1 round of 16 races each with their opponents based on predetermined seeding. For each race, 3 points are awarded for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd. The players with the most overall points in their round compared to all others in the play-ins moved on to the top 16.
In the top 16, each player played in 2 full rounds that were determined by seeding for a total of 32 races. The top 8 players in total points after all rounds moved on to the top 8.
In the semi-finals/top 8, there were 2 groups of 4 players. The top 2 from each group moved on to the finals.
Cups were played in Mushroom, Special, Star, Flower order. Tracks were played with standard non-shortcut rules.
Tiebreakers were done at the end of the play-ins to determine more seeding for the next rounds (in 4 player mode with 2 idle characters).
