noonan Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Iowa Tecmo 3 falls on the same date as the opening weekend of the Iowa State Fair. Those traveling from out of state might be in for some entertainment after the tournament. justinpeters51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noonan Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Once our event gets large enough, the Iowa State Fair will sculpture a butter tecmo player. Preferably LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noonan Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Just had a couple more sign up. That puts us at a firm 30 players and we are still a full 3 months away. New player from Cedar Rapids, Iowa and another from Ames, Iowa. I think there are hundreds of players out there, but just don't know our community exists. If they happen to google seach, they will find it and join our community, but so may people marked TSB as long forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noonan Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 I doubt I would consider myself a top player... however... Kyle and I were talking this evening.... and had a novel idea. For Iowa Tecmo 3, after the main event.... we are considering a 2 person tournament. We would allow participants to choose a teammate, and then play a regulation TSB game against 2 other players. Exact rules pending, but each 2 person team would be divided by offense and defense, possibly switching at half. Player 1A would be on offense vs Player 2A, then once sides change (after punt, turnover, or touchdown) then Player 1B would be vs Player 2B. We had this concept at Lincoln in 2014 and was pretty fun. This would not overshadow our main event of single player domination of the tournament bracket, but would be an experiment on how a 2-person combination would perform through a bracket.

Jebigred Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 My buddy and I were wondering if we could recruit somebody that has a higher tap speed then 8 to tap for us in the doubles tournament ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The 2 man tourney is intriguing. I'd definitely need to know beforehand if you're allowed to bring a partner or choose your own.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonan Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Kyle and I discussed this at length. We have not yet presented the final proposal to the Iowa Tecmo 3 board of directors, but this is how we anticipate this to play out. We plan to post this on our website and on the top of this forum page when we get it final. Remember this is an auxiliary tournament... to be played after the main event. The one player tourney is still our flagship format of this tournament. You can choose your own partner. We feel this would be better than a random partner draw. There will definitely be some strong teams, but perhaps a lone wolf will take a scrub and upset a dynamic duo. Anyone that wants to participate but does not have a preferred teammate can simply call on anyone to team up with them. We feel the "bring your own teammate" will bring more spirit (and players) to the event. Legend: Team 1, player 1 = 1A --\ ___> same team Team 1, player 2 = 1B --/ Team 2, player 1 = 2A --\ ___> same team Team 2, player 2 = 2B --/ Each player 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B must be on offense for one half and on defense the alternate half. Offense consists of: Kick-off return, Offensive play calling and execution, Punts, Field Goals and Extra Point attempts. Defense consists of: Kick-offs, Defensive play calling and execution, Punt-Returns, Field Goal and Extra Point defense. 1A hands the controller to 1B (and vice/versa) during idle transitions between offense and defense roles. Teammates can talk/whisper to each other during the duration of the game, however the physical placement of each team must be represented in a way where cheating is mitigated. Tip-offs are also strictly prohibited (tip-offs are when 1A overhears 2A/2B on a play call selection and 1A conveys that information to teammate 1B for an advantage). 1) Coin toss: makes no matter who calls it, just call it in the air 2) Coin toss team WINNER automatically becomes controller 1 and then must choose the two TSB teams (ex: BUF vs HOU) 2) Coin toss team LOSER has 2 options: a ) Selects the TSB team of choice (ex: BUF) or... b ) Selects the player match-ups (ex: 1st half - 1A off vs 2B def and 1B def vs 2A off) remember, these roles swap in the 2nd half, as in this example, 1A will sit against 2B and that will not change in 2nd half. Only your off and def roles will change at half. 3) Coin toss team WINNER executes option a ) or b ) that coin toss team LOSER did not select. 4) Pre-game playbooks can be customized. Each teammate can have input on their team playbook to suit an overall team strength since you cannot change playbook at half. 5) START GAME in pre-season mode 6) In-game coin toss will determine kick-off and receive team (as standard) 7) Pre-game designated offense player will take his controller vs pre-game designated defensive player. All other TSB Tournament Game Rules will still apply. Super Duper and DFM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamer1185 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Cory and I threw around the idea of allowing the losing team at half time to have the option of switching opponents at half. Example, if 1A was vs 1B and was blowing him away, they could then switch opponents and make it 2A vs 1B. Only problem we found with this idea was that theoretically, one player would play offense the entire game and his teammate would only play defense. We wanted to make it as simple as possible which is why we figured no switching opponents once the game started. Kind of lets a guy get some payback offensively or defensively against someone who may have gotten lucky against them the first half. I feel this could bring about several new styles of tournament to the Tecmo community. Another fun idea I just thought of while writing this could be a 4 man random draw team. You draw your 4 man team, random draw your quarter that you would play, and you play your quarter both offense and defense. You wouldn't know who your teammates are or your opponent for your quarter.

noonan Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 I don't like random draw and playing a single quarter. Maybe another idea for another venue. I bet the Kumite might think about adopting a format like that. What I do like is this team competition idea. It gets me thinking about the teams that could be good (really good). For example (just examples) @Ones11fahzu & @regulator088 @mort1237 & @red98sethuthut @holzy11 & @sonofpatbeach @justinpeters51 & @hawkeye98 @modeezie & @toolie @Coconuts & @ Joe M. @noonan & @thegamer1185 @Tecmo Psycho & @Ryan11p @Knobbe & Luke C @purplehaze & @Scienceguy43 @vogtcd11 & @bigmv54 and/or JVogt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in the few years of playing, I know that @justinpeters51 and I had similar styles, @ricor33 and I have seemed to match up well, as did Rik and I. Honestly though, not sure. Each one of those players is slightly better than me, so not sure I'd have a big chance in the fight of getting a premier player to tag with.

noonan Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Many people I've talked to and chatted with online are on the fence about attending Iowa Tecmo 3. I can't blame you. It's summer, things happen. All the same, if you think there is a chance you might make it, be sure to pre-register on our website. www.iowatecmo.com/registration.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
