Afterwards a tournament will be played. Rules (Thanks Tecmo Madison!) Procedural & Gameplay Rules Team Selection & Coin Toss: A manual coin-flip will precede each game. The coin-flip winner will choose the matchup (i.e. the two teams). The coin-flip loser then selects either (a) one of the two teams or ( his preferred controller. If the coin-flip loser selects his preferred controller, the coin-flip winner selects a team first. “One Matchup Once” Rule: The coin-flip winner can only select a particular matchup once throughout the entire tournament. For instance, if Player A wins the toss and selects Packers-Browns, Player A cannot call that exact matchup for the rest of the tournament. Player B, however, is free to select that matchup later in the tournament. Customizing Playbooks and Lineup Changes: Customizing playbooks is permissible. You can access your “change” screen (screen where you check player conditions and make substitutions) only twice per half. This helps speed up the games. No WR/TE in a running play: The Jerry Rice-Drew Hill rule. The rule doesn't apply to WR reverses Ties: Although ties are permitted in the tournament’s “group play” portion, such are not permitted in the single-elimination portion of the 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. Lurching: Lurching is prohibited. If you want to rush with a DL, you must either go outside the offensive tackle or “popcorn” someone on the offensive line. You cannot simply go around your blocker and dive. Note that this rule does not apply to LBs. 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.

slim_jimmy7 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I like Omaha, its a little closer for me, but Lincoln was OK too.Call it Wings, Beer, Tecmo and hold it in a Buffalo Wild WingsAnd get a championship belt instead of a trophy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qb_browns Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Calling it the TB.org Invitational would be cooler, but considering it's not invite only, it's not accurate. Any suggestions for a kick ass name would be great.I say you call it the "TB.org Invitational only if your name rhymes with Barry Fultz, otherwise come on down for some Tecmo fun Tournament"Or the "TB.org Memorial I got banned Tournament" Or the "TB.org BYOI Invitational Tournament" with BYOI = Bring Your Own InviteOr just give in and call it the "TB.org Madison Tournament Warm-up in cold place Tournament" or the "Nebraska Madison Tournament Icebreaker sponsored by TB.org" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how we draw this year considering I haven't even officially started advertising yet. I'll make sure you're in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCarrier20 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Can't wait, gentlemen. I exiled myself from TSB almost exactly a year ago after a pathetic showing at the last Lincoln Tourney. But I've had an NES console sitting under my 46 inch TV ever since, and it stares at me like it's mad at me, like I let it down. It's sort of like the Mona Lisa- if you're in the same room as "it", you can feel "it" looking at you... Am I the only TSB player in the world who struggles on offense?? See you in 3 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
