To make this tournament run as smoothly as possible, we need one NES playing station per every four tournament competitors.  So as always, we need all the help we can get from small TVs, NES consoles, TSB carts, controllers, A/V cords, RF switches, power adapters, extension cords, power strips, etc.  Anything that you can help out with is so greatly appreciated, and do not forget to label your equipment!
 
ADDITIONAL TOURNEY FORMAT DETAILS TO COME.

 

 

 

 

DETROIT TECMO KUMITE IV:  TOURNAMENT RULES
  

1. Tournament Format – Every player in the tournament will play one game per round. A random draw will determine each player’s opponent for the round. A player is eliminated from the tournament when they have accumulated three losses. (NEW RULE) - However, in an attempt to speed up the tournament, and also get a few of you to hang around longer to watch the finale; Once we are down to 8 or less competitors, the tournament will be a single elimination format, with competitors previous records wiped from the slate.  The last player remaining will be declared the champion. 

 

2. Byes - If there are an odd number of players at the start of a round, then one player will receive a bye (this will be determined through the random draw). Any player who has previously received N byes will be ineligible for another bye unless all other remaining players have also received N byes.

 

3. Team Selection: Each game (including who is Player 1 and who is Player 2) will be determined by a random draw at the start of each round. For each game, Player 1 will choose the matchup (i.e. the two teams). Player 2 then selects their preferred team.

 

4. “One Matchup Once” Rule: Players may only select a particular matchup once throughout the entire tournament. For instance, if Player 1 selects Packers/Browns, this person cannot call that exact matchup for the rest of the tournament. Player 2, however, is free to select that matchup later in the tournament.

 

5. Customizing Playbooks and Lineup Changes: Customizing playbooks is permissible. You may access your “change” screen (screen where you check player conditions and make substitutions) only twice per half. This helps speed up the games.

 

6. WR/TE at RB. Playing with a WR or TE at RB is strictly prohibited. A WR or TE is able to play in the RB2 slot, but ONLY a RB can receive direct handoffs or pitches. The only time a WR or TE can run the ball is on a reverse. Outside of this: RB, WR, and TE are interchangeable.

 

7. Ties: Ties are not permitted in this tournament. If a game ends in a tie after overtime, a new game will begin, and the first player to score in the new game is the winner.

 

8. Lurching: Lurching is strictly prohibited. If you want to rush with a DL, you must either go outside the offensive tackles or “popcorn” someone on the offensive line. You may not simply go around your blocker and dive. Note that this rule does not apply to LBs.

 

9. Nintendo Malfunctions: If there is an equipment failure in the first half, games will be replayed from the start. If equipment malfunctions in the 2nd half, only the second half is replayed. In that event, the scores from each half are added together to obtain a final score. If the game was uncompetitive or the equipment malfunctioned due to human error, the tourney organizers reserve the right to declare a winner without replaying any portion of the game.

 

10. Tournament Disputes: Eric O’Dell and Matt O’Toole are the tournament referees. They will decide all disputes unless one of them is a player in the game. If one or both is a player in the disputed game, Joe Moskwa or Chas Claus will resolve the dispute.

 

11. Equipment: Tournament competitors are encouraged to bring any and all equipment they are able to, including: NES, TSB cart, controllers, ac adapters, RF or RCA wires, extension cords, power strips, and most importantly small sized televisions. Please keep in mind, we may be in need of said equipment for the duration of the event. ONLY basic NES controllers are welcome, no turbo, etc. If you plan on bringing any equipment, please plan on arriving 30 minutes in advance to help set up. We thank you in advance for anything you are able to assist the tournament with!

 

12. Entry Fee, and Prizes: Tournament entry fee will be $20 per participant. Cash prizes for places TBD based on participants, with the winner taking home the Kumite Cup!  One participant per every 10 will earn cash a prize is a strong rule of thumb at the Kumite however.

If anyone from philly or surrounding areas interested in going to this hit me up.. frontier airlines flies to DET out of Trenton NJ and has crazy cheap deals, I'd be down for splitting hotel costs or whatever. 

 

Do eeeeeeeet!!!  Detroit Kumite tournament honestly is "One of a Kind"  There is no other format where the brackets aren't staged, people getting preferential groupings, and it's an all out TECMO BLOODBATH!!  Every tournament Eric O'Dell & Matt O'Toole have put together have been top notch and highly entertaining.

Official Kumite tournament format details are being finalized.  I felt it was a good time to reach out to our participants, and sent out a quick message.
 
We will be hosting a Tecmo sparring session on Thursday night at Hoops 1/14.  We should be rocking by about 8pm for anyone that would like to come on up, and get in a few rounds.  Also, feel free to bring your equipment, to allow more people to participate
 
We generally have our event streamed in some capacity, and have been thankful for some great guys to step up and help out with this project.  However this year, we don't have our good friends in attendance to help out, as of now, and was curious whether someone wanted to take over the reigns for Kumite IV and help get this streamed out to the Tecmo community.  We generally have had this up on twitch.tv, but we are open to other ideas as well.
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone next weekend for Tecmo Kumite IV!
