Green Bay WI - 08/03/17 - GBLAN Presents, 3rd Beebe


Recommended Posts

Green Bay WI, 8-3-2017 6:30PM - GBLAN Presents, 3rd Beebe, a Tecmo Super Bowl Tournament

 

My wife is due with our 3rd child at the end of August.  This is the first available Thursday night after baseball season ends for those in our area.  Thursday night tournaments have been a great way to get that accelerated tournament experience.  Our last two tournaments got us 49 total participants.

 

Here is the official FB page for signup http://tinyurl.com/3rdbeebe  Sign up at 6:30, games start by 7PM.

 

Games are played on official NES hardware, or hardware clones with real cartridges, no rom dumps or emulation.  Controllers are NES OEM, and games are played on CRT tvs.  We can do up to 18 stations, but will likely have 10-12 setup.  To this point we haven't had any waiting due to unavailable systems since moving to our Thursday format.

 

Official rules can be viewed on this document.

If we exceed 16 players we will use a group play format, followed by a single elim bracket.  If we are at 16 or under, we will use a standard challonge double elim bracket.

 

The entire event goes on for about 4 hours typically, with the majority of the field done by 10 or so..  The last two times we had pizza provided by a sponsor, and we are working to see if we can get them onboard again.  Drinks are $1 off for participating.

 

Entry fee is $10 per person.  Payout is 50% to 1st place, gift certs to 2nd and 3rd place, remaining proceeds go to pay for equipment.

 

Please RSVP on the FB page if you are coming.  If you are interested in coming, and not use Facebook, you may message me on the boards, or email [email protected] with your intentions.

 

Hope to see you there!

Update, between FB and non FB RSVPs, we are sitting at about 20 players right now, so it's looking like group play, then single elim bracket.  There is of course free play available after the 1st round of bracket play.

 

There will be a gift certificate from the venue given to the player with the most passing yards from QB Bills.  Take a picture with your opponent on the screen and post on twitter. #3rdbeebe #tecmosuperbowl #gblan   Bonus "Internet points" if your leading receiver is Don Beebe.

 

As of the time of this post, the tournament is only 9 days away, and we already have players traveling from a couple of hours away.  Don't miss out on your chance on free pizza, cheap beverages, and lots of tecmo!

We are adding to the mediocrity by involving some of these guys.  Word on the street is that they suck at Tecmo.

Pictures from the event are posted near the top of the event posting.  Will get to working on uploading bracket games to Youtube this weekend.  Good luck to @mort1237 as he rides the waves of momentum into Tecmo Cleveland this weekend.  Also, best of luck to @davefmurray as he expands the ever growing Tecmo universe into Dallas this weekend!

Congratulations Mort!   Thanks to Troy for running the tournament.   Had a great time and looking to forward to the next one after the baby can crawl.  =)
