I'm actually scheduled to be on call for work the weekend of this tournament, but I may swap with a coworker so I can attend.

We'd love to have you Gerald.  We will do our best to make this a good tournament/format/payout/etc.

Believe it or not, the payout isnt a big deal to me. Yes its cool to win money but I'm more of a trophy type of guy. Plus its awesome to play some Tecmo with some cool ass people.

I'm all about the trophy as well. The cash most likely just goes towards the player's hotel and gas

We will have trophies to our top finishers.  The creativity committee of Iowa Tecmo 3 is working on that now.

I think participants (including myself) will be surprised on how many people will be attending this tournament.

We are shaking the trees here in Des Moines/Iowa and already seeing unknown talent show interest.

Was just about to sign up, but I got the ol Family Reunion that weekend.   Darn summer fills up quick in the midwest.

Thats why we go a tecmo first philosophy. I wouldnt be opposed to you having your family reunion at our tournament? Look how close we tecmo bowlers grow from experiencing the game together?

So guys post if you think you'll be a maybe at this point.

 

This is right up against a family trip to Wisconsin Dells. Details aren't ironed out yet, so it's still a slight possibility. I'd really like to make it.

Good thing about central iowa... its is a mild drive from Minnesota and central/west Wisconsin.

Our goal is to keep this tournament ON SCHEDULE.  Tough to do but we will bring in as many TV/Consoles as we need to ensure first rounds run fast.  We will have non-player volunteers that will focus only on tournament flow, that might help too.

We'd prefer the tournament to be over by 7pm, Allowing participants to drive home vs stay over.
