Can someone other than a Buenagle win an Ohio tournament this year? What are the Vegas odds?

Well, @Ones11fahzu has two Tupa Bowl championships, Louis has one, and Mort has zero, so if *MAAYYYYYYBEEEE* Matt Miller shows up, he's the favorite, even if gats comes.

Just registered.  I'm coming to Columbus with my best friend and journeyman Joey that I haven't seen since the Mort's $50 Challenge last May.   Is going to the local beercade the plan after the tournament is over? Would love to get in some games of NBA JAM on a cabinet.   

 

Awesome man! There will be a post-tournament local barcade thing again this year, and yes, they have NBA Jam. Glad to have you on board!

Happy to be working this with you.  It will be my first out of state tournament experience ever.  Been working diligently on the stream setup, and picked up the prepaid hotspot with Ethernet on it with the provider you suggested based on your own experience there.

 

As I do with any retro tournament now, if a Genesis is setup, and anyone wants to challenge me to mk or mk2, $20 awaits the first person to beat me on real hardware on a CRT.  We are certain to have some pauses in there.  In 17 years I have not parted with this $20.  With the world's Tecmo hordes massed against me, I can only hope there is one among you who is able to deliver to me, "a beautiful death".

This was a very memorable weekend for me.  I get greeted at the airport by @mort1237 and @kevincabarello who treated me like royalty.  I responded by demanding a Waffle House visit, and my subjects happily obliged.  Armed security, drunk women, chefs cooking with cell phones in one hand, and an impending drug deal witnessed by Mort kicked off an amazing weekend.  All that was missing was a Hepatitis C infection.

 

We hit the Old North Arcade, where nearly everything is on free play, then went our separate ways as we all had a big day on Saturday. Nice selection of games, and of course I did some damage on the Mortal Kombat machines.

At the recommendation of Kevin, we locked down a prepaid ATT hot spot with a built in Ethernet port based on his connection quality off his phone.  In 9 hours of streaming Saturday, we didn't drop a single frame.

 

@Jim Socks 13, @Woodshed, Eric Kuhlman, The Retro Sports Gamer, Louis, Mort, and The Ultimate Weapon all made guest appearances on the color mic.  It was an absolute riot.  The afforementioned Jim Socks and Woodshed opened with their own version of "In the Ware Tonight", which I believe is available on the Retro Sports Gamer Channel on Youtube.  It's not to be missed.

 

The setups were a plenty, and Kevin balanced playing, organizing with tenacity.  Louis and Mort were a big help setting up early.  The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the overall event a 10/10 in my book.  Way to go Mort for your victory, Joemama winning the Silver bracket, and Kevin for running a kickass event!  Here's to next year!
