The bottom half of the field plays each other in the first round of the bracket. All other players with better records get BYEs. The better you do in group play, the more BYEs you may receive (for some, it may be at least two or three BYEs). The Single Elimination Bracket will decide who will be the NYC Tecmo Super Bowl Champion!

Love this tournament. Can't wait! Looking forward to yet another shot at losing to Arncoem again!

 

In all seriousness, though, this tourney is supremely fun, the prizes/giveaways are great, and the venue is tremendous. And the details are only just starting to come together so expect more surprises to pop up as it gets closer.

 

Hopefully this is the year that the player pool stretches even more west and south than ever before.

[powerade]

Awwwwwww yeah!!!

If you haven't signed up yet but plan on attending, make sure you get it taken care of before September 15. Remember, there's a 20% discount if you sign up by then.

 

Keep spreading the word!

Me, mort and globe trotting man d.t.(he went to the super bowl and world cup finals this year) are signed up.I ask this every year but are we allowed to defer the matchup? Im surprised that "powerade" hasn't brought up the "teta" rule!!!!

[tadaos]

i haven't signed up yet but i will be there as well

[Bad Moon Rison]

Due to popular demand, you can no longer defer choosing the matchup.  Some guys didn't like it and it seemed to confuse a lot of the newer guys.  Best to have the coin of Tecmo fate decide!

 

P.S.- The Teta Rule is in effect, i.e.- All matchup choices reset once bracket play starts.

[stalltalk]

I signed up and paid last night.  My paypal email address is different than the email I used to sign up with though so let me know if that caused any issues.

[Bad Moon Rison]

Your name came up in the payment confirmation so don't sweat it.  Your alternate e-mail is [email protected], correct?

Nice vid....buffalo crew (red, mort, d.t.) all set

[powerade]

hahahaha Lou!! I learned to stop asking since everyone resets the matchups. Plus 50/50 on going this year. Ugh

[hoigaard]

50/50 on Teta this year?? You're one of the few, the proud, the elite to make it to the 2011/12/13 tourneys. Don't break the streak!

[hoigaard]

Just over 48 hours until the NY Tecmo Super Bowl Tourney kicks off! A few notes:

-The official hashtag for the tournament will be ‪#‎NYTecmo‬. Please feel free to attach that to any & all posts about the tourney on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

[powerade]

Haha Brian has been putting the pressure on me going. Swayed me towards going and then boom. My buddy Anthonys work schedule just changed and he can go so we are in!!

Always a good time, little under 46 hours....

Most anticipated matchup of pool play: Defending champion Matty D vs Ed S, who made the round of 32 in Madison this year (knocking off online legend Joey Gats in the process).

 

Most Difficult Group: Moon Group. Not only are Matty D and Ed S in this group, but NYC Tecmo stalwart Patrick B is a tough game against anyone.
