  4. Just received word that Harry will also have copies of his newly released book, Win From Within, available for purchase (you can also purchase from Amazon ahead of time if you'd wish to). Harry will sign those, and is willing to sign your items as well (49ers gear, Packers gear, TSB carts, etc.). We are suggesting a $5 minimum donation to his charity, My Brother's Keeper, as all proceeds from the signing go to his charity.
  5. This year, Tundra Bowl is teaming up with Tecmo Super Bowl running back Harry Sydney, and his charity, My Brother's Keeper Inc.. Sydney, the 3x Super Bowl Champion, is scheduled to be on hand to sign autographs at Tundra Bowl 6, and donations to his charity are highly encouraged.

  9. You’re probably on the right page - it will be updated. I typically wait until closer to the date for who is all registered, thinking in a few weeks I’ll post it. Still tracking down some registration info from people who paid. We’ve got basically a 50/50 split (+1 difference) between Division 1 and Division 2 registrants so far.
  10. It’s the standard Tecmo Super Bowl cartridge. The 2v2 refers to teams. Here’s some additional info from our website - www.tundrabowl.com/2v2 The 2019 2v2 TSB Tourney will follow the basic Tundra Bowl rules, with the exception of a couple pre-game declarations: Team Selection & Coin Toss: A manual coin-flip will precede each game. The coin-flip winning team can choose the matchup (i.e. the two teams) or defer the matchup choice to the coin-flip losing team. If the winning team chooses the matchup, the winning team is given the P1 controller, and the losing team chooses their choice of the two teams in the matchup. If the winning team defers the matchup choice, the winning is given the P2 controller, the losing team will then choose the matchup and the winning team will select their choice of the two teams. In summary, the winning team of the coin toss either gets P1 and choice of matchup or P2 and choice of teams. Declaration of Roles: The team that ends up being P1 after the pre-game coin toss must declare FIRST the following (prior to kickoff): which player is to play which quarters OR which player is to play offense, while the other plays defense. If the team selects the QUARTERS option, no player can play more than two quarters (with the exception of overtime) in the game. In the case of an overtime, either player can play the first overtime period, but must alternate each OT period if 2 or more is necessary. If the team selects the SIDE OF BALL option, the players must control their side of the ball for the entire game, overtime(s) included. The team that ends up as P2 declares their roles after P1 Team declares.

  14. We’ve got some EXCELLENT prizes that will be announced in the next couple of weeks for Door Prizes, Division 2, and the Tecmo Challenge...I think y’all are going to like them. Stay tuned!
  15. This has worked magnificently for Tundra the last couple of years. We used to do groups of 4 (3 games) which worked, but was less games than I wanted to give people...but have since opened it to 5 (4 games) in group play, and seems to be the magic number for us. I’ve gotten really good feedback on it, and am planning with sticking to it for the foreseeable future.
  16. The 8th and final challenge for RetroMania is Duck Hunt on the NES (High Score, One Life)! More than anything, this may get a bit comical after people enjoy their FREE drink for participating in RetroMania! Register today at: www.tundrabowl.com/registration
  17. Yes, you can head over to the REGISTRATION PAGE and just fill out the form (hit submit on the bottom). Ignore the payments on the right hand side if you aren’t doing RetroMania or 2v2 Friday night. Glad you can make it out brother!!
  18. Levi, I'm glad that you and the other top finishers were paid more to make things right from a financial standpoint. An admitted mistake was made, and it was corrected. Purely from a resolution standpoint, the best way for all things to be resolved would be for people to speak for themselves to ask and/or answer questions. If people were to post for themselves, all of this would be put behind us much quicker as a TSB community (and yes, this includes people posting their questions themselves rather than me posting on their behalf). Troy simply could have said that a miscalculation occurred and that he paid everyone the due amount, ultimately answering that question. Everyone has a voice in this community, and an opportunity to ask and answer questions. When people become the voice of others (through back-channel chats, texts, messages, etc.), they lose that power. I shouldn't be getting texts from people speaking on behalf of others, nor should I have to ask questions on behalf of others. That shouldn't be anyone's role. We are all grown adults, and we all have a voice. The longer people sit in silence, or the more people use others as their platform/proxy/voice, they are forfeiting the opportunity they have to speak for themselves. This is when assumptions, opinions, and conclusions (right or wrong) get made by others, and it becomes a never ending cycle. It certainly seems to me that the TSB community would appreciate hearing from Troy personally. It's the simplest resolution, and one that would finally allow the undercurrent to pass, and for the opportunity for unification to grow.
  19. I agree with this wholeheartedly. That doesn’t necessarily mean that questions that have been posed by many can’t be asked/answered in a civil way. If we all acted like adults, admit where we’ve done wrong, be transparent in our actions and motivations, and work on coming together as one community under truth, dialogue, and selflessness, we’d be 1000x better off. That’s a lot of commas, but you get my point.
  20. Thanks for the clarification, but therein lies the problem. Troy personally hasn’t publicly responded to these tournament information discrepancies (misrepresentation of financials, payouts, players registered, etc.), why there appears to be far less paid out than what was advertised, or, just as importantly, to the very serious and condemning evidence that he has intentionally attempted to split this community (including inviting people/banning people on his own private Discord server) listed in this thread below: Since it has been weeks since the first message went out, and yet we hear no response from Troy addressing the TSB community about that evidence, nor the tournament representation questions that many have, this speaks volumes. I’m hoping we, the TSB community, get the answers we seek, but considering there hasn’t been a response in the weeks since this all surfaced, it’s looking highly unlikely he will explain his behavior, and the recent questions that many have.
  21. 19 players only? Troy quoted 32 RSVPd, and even at his last “participant list” publicly posted (27 players), it means he had a TON of no-shows. His last PAID participant list (“official sign-up list”) posted was 23 players. So with the three free, there should have been at least 20 paid entries...but people were believing there were 32+ showing based on his own posts. Seems like it was, either, inflating numbers to look bigger/more important, or he got their entry fee via signup and they didn’t show (but still collected the money). Even 19 players at $25 each (roughly, on average with pre-signups and walk-ins) is $475 of total money. $200 is only 42% of total money taken in (not 2/3 of the money). If there are the three free players that showed per the original post, that’s 16 players. Even, again, at $25 on average (since there were a “number of walk-ins” as quoted by Troy), it’s $400. Two-thirds (per the original post) is still 33% over the $200 paid out. Again, this is giving the benefit of the doubt. If my my math is wrong, by all means, please correct me. I’m just trying to understand why the total payout seems so low compared to what people were led to believe with the posted RSVP numbers, total payout to players, etc.
  22. Just curious, but how was the payout only $200 with 32 RSVPs (and a number of walk-ins) to play? Wasn’t the payout 2/3, directly tied to the total entry fees collected? Am I missing something on the math?
