These 4 people would be the current race leaders. When say, someone chokes really badly and loses his spot in the top 4 for say, a minute, the stream would go to the person who goes into the fourth place. Anyways can't wait to see this happen. Gonna be real good.

I'm not so sure that's such a good idea. If we were to have, let's say, 10 streams up at once for a race, that'll probably take a huge toll on our internet/computers. Personally I feel like 2-4 people (king + 1-3 challengers) is the max we'll do.

This would be ridiculously hard to pull off, and impractical for more than 7-8 racers. While this would be a "true" top 4 race stream, I believe this is too difficult to do.

Otherwise, i can understand that only 4 persons can be stream at the same time, so we could stream the king, then the first 3 fastest times on sr.com since they prove their potential to bop the king (like a reward). Then beside, we could allow everyone as challenger, i mean, the more the merrier, since the main idea is to have fun together.
And i propose FangameMarathon twitch channel for featuring the event. I mean this twitch channel is made for people who may not know about fangames in general. And by showing this event on this twitch channel, it shows the fangame community is active and can make great thing beside marathon. Just throwing an idea ^^.
About streaming multi participants (2 or 4), just out of curiosity, is it possible to add a (tiny) sound icon to the participant where the sound comes out ? I saw it on a last marathon (i dont remember if it is gdq or ESA, i think it's ESA), but as a viewer, it's really enjoyable to know where the sound is coming out.

A 4-person stream is the idea we're rolling with now, so don't worry! This would of course be the King vs. the top 3 times submitted to sr.com during the race week.
FangameMarathon's channel was only used for the marathon, and we would like to keep it that way. Also, since this event will most likely lack a RTMP server, everyone who is racing will be live on Twitch anyway. We're still working out the details here.
The sound icon is a great idea on the stream. The race leader's audio will most likely be used (out of the 4 on stream), so we'll be sure to consider this icon on the layout when we have it made. Thanks!

Neat idea TJ, looking forward to it :PogChamp:
I also have a suggestion, that the king could chose to make the next week's game random. In other words, a raffle between the pool of fangames. Could be a fun addition if the king is having trouble to decide the game
BBF:
I'm most likely joining it, unless the list of games turns out to be meh.
Also in favor of 4 way races for the King title. Makes the King change more often and gives more spotlight to talented runners that don't necessarily have the time to go for the fastest time.
Another thing to consider is removing the current week's game from the pool for a couple of weeks to avoid repeated picks (maybe even swap out games that have been picked with a different game and make a rotation?)
And the last thing I just thought of. Maybe make a "special" week like once a month, limiting game selection to Needle/Aventure/100F/whatever. Might force a long standing King to get out of his comfort zone, or just spice up the range of games being picked. Obviously would need a good and varied selection of the pool.
Destructor Destroyer:
I personally like this idea myself. But, I have a question regarding what you said earlier "A King will be chosen for the first round, and the King will decide 1 week before they race what fangame will be played out of the pool of fangames provided."
How are we going to elect the very first king to take the pedestal in the first place. I mean the system works very well afterwards. However, I'm under an impression that the top 3 people with the best times in the first random fangame will just race to become the first king. However, I would like to see if you have a special event in mind just for this case.
