I'll post briefly for now...it was worth driving 10 hours over the last 2 days for (all of tonight's in the rain). I really thought the setup of having more stations than groups was helpful for avoiding the awkward drifting and shiftlessness. Obviously you can't do that at an event with the scale of Madison, but this was far more to my liking. I got to play a much higher percentage of the players - and this also allowed for "revenge"/headhunting behaviors, if that was what you were after (which I like, by the way). Thanks MattyD and all who came out!!

I'll be at the econo lodge as well. It seems it's the popular hotel for most participants. I'm sure we'll all get some practice games in with one another.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the first annual King's Cup in Fishkill, NY. It was a long day, but hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves and the pizza was good. I was asked and heckled multiple times from the crowd (aka Jim Teta) but I did not succumb under peer pressure to play. Only ran the tournament and played a couple pick-up games. Special thanks to Brian, Pat Blanchard, Leif Powers, Greg Little and Erik M. for helping me with equipment and TV set-up. Wouldn't have been able to do the tournament without your help. There were MANY close games in the double elimination bracket. Every time I took a walk around the room it seemed like there was either a 1. Comeback Game 2. Over time game or 3. Multiple overtime game. Special shout out to Tom C. who won his first game in the Play-In game to get into the big bracket, and was also tossed from the hotel becoming even more of a Tecmo LEGEND. Kevin S. topped Erik M. in the final with a Phi over Min victory. Top Finishers: 1. Kevin S. 2. Erik M. 3. Chris B. 4. Leif Powers Pictures will be coming soon. Can't wait for next year when my athletic facility is built and we hold a pretty awesome tournament. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Well Vs Db1 only teams Like Tb, Atl run3 T-Cross Run L is excellent play vs Db1. But i don't run it lot cuz one can shoot the gap in the "A Gap" with an good Lb2.3. So i only run if i know the opponent only good defender is the db1. Vs Teams Like Wash sd with 2 great cb's i Like to run 2 Sweeps to attack both corners but i need 2 rb's to make it work. Maybe run 3 T-cross Run L and Run 1 Power Sweep R or Run 2 T-Sweep Strong. Of course both of these runs can be stopped by Lb shooting the A-gap. So don’t run em vs teams with Good backers. R+s run Toss Up is very good play vs Lb1 ( double team block) and Db1. A savvy defender may man up the Lb1 trying to bait u to pick the play. The r+s sweep Run3 Right probably is best running play as has two pulling guards ( only 1 pulls when ur the defender picks run ). Also the Lb1 is not blocked. Now you would think it's a strong vs db2 man player. But one manning up Db2 can stop this play 4 a loss using the db 2 move @Nosis very good at it. What u do is move the db2 on sorta of 45degree angle and funnell the rb towards the Lb4 drone to trap the rb b4 the pulling guards get there.

Good luck everyone! Hope the tournament goes well.

Game Day!!
