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. 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 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 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 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 $10 per participant. 1st place will take home a cash prize, a NES cartridge of ODell/Ruble Productions: TSB2K13, along with a Detroit Tecmo tournament trophy! 2nd and 3rd place will earn a cash prize as well.

I am not setting a max at this point. The place is pretty big, and can hold a substantial amount of Tecmoers. Our 10:00am start time, should serve as plenty of time to ensure we are out of there by 8-9 at the very latest, no matter what size crowd we have, to ensure we aren't a problem for their evening business.

Let me know if you've done the math on a triple elim on 64 people as I'd be interested in how long you think that would take and would entertain that format as well.

Well, the way I see it. You could do a group of any size, as long as the room is big enough, and still get it in, in a reasonable time frame. As long as you have a quarter of the amount of playing stations compared to that of participants (64/4=16) here is my projection.

63 people have to lose 3 games = 189 total games. 189/16 (stations) = 11.81 rounds of play. A high estimate per round would be 30 minutes, so that still puts you under 6 hours of play to determine a winner.

O'Toole, can you confirm, this is the formula we should be working with?

That's about right, if you can get 2 games in per station per hour. Then it's 32 games per hour and roughly 6 hours total. Your rate will slow, though, when you have less players than double the stations. The thing I like about this format is there shouldn't be as many people waiting around and not playing. If we are under 32 people and have 8 stations we should be in great shape. The more people, though, the merrier.

Registration is going pretty well, with just about 5 weeks left until the tournament! We currently have 14 players registered, and shouldn't have much a problem getting to at least 20 participants at this event. If you are on the fence about coming, try to figure out a way to make it out to the D! It is sure to be a great time!

This is a public event on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events/176241495848745/

Feel free to invite anyone you think might be interested in joining us!
