  1. I wish it were in the cards for me to attend. Love this event, its definitely at the top of Tecmo event list. BTW, I'm from Louisiana. The post above says Texas
  2. This event is one of my favorites (top 3) in the nation, I've attended this event twice and had a blast. It is highly recommended and is one of the most elite tournaments in the Northeast. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend, but if you have the chance to attend, do so, you won't regret it. I believe last year had over 50 participants. Great time with great guys.
  3. 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.
  4. Wish I could attend this tournament, hopefully next time. GOOD LUCK to all the participants and may the Tecmo Gods smile upon all of you tomorrow!!!!
  5. I think I'm a little late to the party in commenting but here goes. I live in Louisiana so for me to play top tier talent I have to travel, most times great distances. So I think placement of tournaments geographically does matter. I ran 3 tournaments in my home town and had a max of 18 participants but no less than 12. At my tournaments everyone had a chance to win something because I had built onto the tournament format a consolation bracket for the less talented players. So if you didn't win your group you would be seeded in the consolation bracket which didn't offer a cash prize but had trophies for 1st and 2nd place while the more "elite" players played for cash along with trophies. I did it this way knowing that new/inexperienced players would be turned off by getting beat badly by the better players. The consolation bracket allowed them to compete with players on a similar level and they'll get some enjoyment of having a chance to win along with experience and possibly return. It was a success and to be honest those consolation games were extremely exciting, maybe even more so than the "elite" bracket games. So i think consolation bracket could be huge in increasing the anount of players wjo attend. I know it was a bit off the original subject, but just felt like I needed to mention that. I know Dave has gotten interest in a consolation bracket at Madison, I will help run a side/consolation bracket if I am able to attend Madison next spring. We were fortunate enough that @davefmurray brought Tecmo Dallas this past August which included @regulator088 @joeygats @Ones11fahzu @ImFlo among others which made it, at least in my mind, a premiere event. Lastly, the dates of tournaments do matter for me since the long distances I have to travel. I would love to attend Tundra Bowl but it's date is the same as Tecmo Texas which is much closer. The tournament that end up being within a few weeks of each other is a challenge for me as well. I can't attend multiple tournament within a month or 2, it's just not logistically possible for me not to mention the cost to travel. There are tournaments i still plan to attend eventually such as Tundra Bowl, Tomzcak Bowl, Tecmo Lincoln to name a few but I'm just not sure when. My only hope is that the organisers of those tournaments continue to put them on so i can have a chance at attending.
  6. I will be attending this event and will try to stream it at the best quality possible. At worst I can record locally then upload to YouTube for viewing. All ways a great time at this event.
  7. I so want to attend this tournament........ Sucks I have to travel a great distance to attend tournaments. Keeping fingers crossed the wife gives the approval for me to attend.
  8. It's still looking pretty good for me to make this event. Looking forward to it.
  9. Now all I need is some commentators for the live stream. Hopefully we can figure something out for the next stream.
  10. Here is the link for the YouTube playlist for all streamed games at Tecmo Texas IV. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXDdIWlwYQcn1tU_H5fn5n4Y-6sMYZiT
  11. I will chop up the stream and post to YouTube then I'll post here as well.
  12. For those wanting to watch the stream https://www.twitch.tv/tecmosuicideking81
  13. Just a screenshot of the stream for Tecmo Texas. The red square is for the webcam feed. Thanks to @War Machine for the idea.
  14. I agree with @red98sethuthut, this tournament is on my Tecmo bucket list.
  15. I was in the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mind set when the coin toss rule change came about. Was I a fan of it? Not really but I'm a mediocre Tecmo player so my opinion means little in comparison to the more elite players. Will it stop me from attending? No, shit I attend a tournament annually that allows WRs to play RB. The rule change will bother some of us but not all and believe it or not some players may not even notice that a rule change has been made. I will most likely end up play with the old rules due to my alcohol consumption fogging up my thoughts.
  16. Sorry for taking so long to upload these videos. Hopefully the quality is good enough.
  17. It was originally scheduled for 1/28/17 but the venue had something booked that date so tournament organizer had to push it back.
  18. Tecmo Texas IV. Link below is info on the event. https://www.facebook.com/events/1535968386416798/?ti=cl SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4 - 11:30 AM AT THREE LINKSTECMO TEXAS has a soft maximum 32-player tournament, meaning we will be prepared to handle a tournament of that size field. If demand leading up to the event exceeds this number, we will accommodate a larger crowd, but at the moment the tournament will be designed for 32 contestants. We reserve the right to modify the format of the tournament depending on factors such as no-shows, contestants leaving early, etc. Any modifications that are made will be made with absolute fairness in mind. All contestants will be guaranteed at least two games before they can be eliminated.A few essentials:**$20 non-refundable entry fee if paid before the day of the event via PayPal (send fee to [email protected]). PayPal is your only way to guarantee entry into the tournament. If any spots are open day of show, the entry fee will be $25 for anyone entering the tournament that day. So pre-pay via PayPal to lock your spot before it fills up and you’ll also save $5. **Every contestant guaranteed at least two games prior to elimination. **Top 8 places will pay out prize money and 100% of entry money will go towards these prizes (minus paypal transaction fees that usually equals around $10 total) IF WE HAVE A FULL 32-CONTESTANT FIELD, that would leave the following prizes: 1st place - $240 2nd place - $150 3rd place - $100 4th place - $60 5th place through 8th place - $20 each RULES, MOSTLY TAKEN FROM THE GOOD FOLKS THAT RUN THE GREAT TECMO MADISON TOURNAMENT: 1. Team Selection & Coin Toss: A manual coin-flip will precede each game. The coin-flip winner will choose the matchup (i.e. the two NFL teams). The coin-flip loser then selects either (a) one of the two teams or (b) his preferred controller (left or right direction on screen). If the coin-flip loser selects his preferred controller, the coin-flip winner selects a team first. 2. Customizing Playbooks and Lineup Changes: Customizing playbooks is permissible. You can access your “change” screen (screen where you check player conditions and make substitutions) only twice per half. This helps speed up the games. Tecmo Texas DOES allow contestants to play players out of their natural positions (for example playing a WR at RB or vice versa). 3. No Ties/Overtime: No game can end in a tie. If a game is tied when regulation concludes, competitors will proceed to OT. If no one scores in the first OT, a new game will begin and the first competitor to score will be declared the winner. So that one competitor does not start with the ball in each OT period, the kicking team in the first OT will be the receiving team in the new game (i.e. the second OT). 4. Lurching: Lurching is prohibited. If you want to rush with a DL, you must either go outside the offensive tackle or “popcorn” someone on the offensive line. You cannot simply go around your blocker and dive. Note that this rule does not apply to LBs. 5. Nintendo Malfunctions: If there is an equipment failure in the first half, games will be replayed from the start. If equipment malfunctions in the 2nd half, only the second half is replayed. In that event, the scores from each half are added together to obtain a final score. If the game was uncompetitive or the equipment malfunctioned due to human error (like wildly yanking on the controller in the heat of a Tecmo moment), the tourney organizers reserve the right to declare a winner without replaying any portion of the game. 6. Tournament Disputes: Brett Strawn, Chris Derow and Chris McDonald are the tournament referees. They will decide all disputes unless one of them is a player in the game. 7. Controllers: Tournament competitors are not allowed to bring their own controller to use in games. Tournament organizers will coordinate obtaining equipment for the competition. FORMAT (subject to slight modifications based on field size): With a 32-contestant field, there will be four 8-player double-elimination brackets. The top 2 finishers in each of the four brackets will advance to a SINGLE-ELIMINATION Final 8. The FINAL 8 will be seeded, with the standard 1 vs 8, 4 vs 5, 3 vs 6, 2 vs 7 bracket format. Seeding determined by the following criteria: 1st factor - Winning % (there will be four 3-0 players in the Final 8, who will make up the top 4 seeds. 2nd factor - Point differential per game (so feel free to run up the score on your friends, whether they be new friends or old friends) 3rd factor - Points scored 4th factor - Highest scoring game 5th - coin flip PLAYERS - BE SURE TO ARRIVE PROMPTLY AT 11:30 AM FOR CHECK-IN!! (thank you) WE ARE ON A SCHEDULE, GAMES WILL START AT NOON. Plenty of parking on Main Street or any of the Elm St. and Main St. connecting streets. One of those, Crowdus is really close to Three Links. Also, Three Links is right next door to Fuzzy's Tacos which comes in handy for such a long event. THIS HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN AN APPROXIMATELY 6 - 7 HOUR EVENT. WE WILL TRY OUR BEST TO KEEP THINGS RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND WRAP THINGS UP COMPLETELY BEFORE 7 PM. GOOD LUCK, AND THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE 4TH ANNUAL TECMO TEXAS TOURNAMENT!
