    It's awesome that you are including another venue.  My question is, why these friends wouldn't come to a tournament at Dmen Tap, which isn't that far away, when you have people coming from states away to be in it?

    Driving in Chicago is a pain in the a$$.  In another city 5 miles away is like 10 mins.  Here it's a stressful 30 minute drive.  It would be like me asking my friends in cheektowaga bars that have a bare minimal interest in tecmo to hang out in a tourney in Niagara falls NY.  

     

    Also if anyone wants to travel out I got space for 3 people at my apartment.  If some guys come Friday we can check out galloping ghost arcade which is near my apartment and the venue.

  2. It went so amazing that I am still in awe of how efficient you guys where at getting games in.  I plan to bring this back next year.  

    Most likely sat Sept 14th

    As I announced as long as things are going well I will put in 1000 to the prize pool. 

    Entries will be 100 unless you won the players championship or madison 5-15.  For those few people entry will be 150.

     

    A max of 24 so I can have it a dmen cause Phil was just so awesome hosting us.

    I will make an official announcement this winter.

  3. Anyone reading the challonge keep in mind it's 11 rounds.  Round 12 and 13 we don't have time for and have been declared ties. The below schedule will give you an ideal of when a certain game will be on give or take 20 mins. 

     

    If your playing it is important we keep to this schedule so we are not finishing around 10 pm.

  5. Update on equipment.  I just finished going over my equipment.  I have 8 systems, 8 carts about 20 good controllers.  Plus 2 more systems and carts at the bar.  Good news is with a surplus of nes original equipment all remake systems are now banned from this tournament.  

     

    Feel free to bring your own controllers if you so desire.  Also if you want to bring a Nintendo as a backup I would appreciate it.  

    We are good on televisions as well.  We will probably need 8 stations at the most and 4 televisions are already at the bar.

  6. So far it looks like a 3rd place prize is more important.  The group play prize win is a novel ideal that has some good arguments against it.  What about 4th place in the following structure.  Based on recent conversations i have had i doubt we will have less than 14.  If we get 14 or more third and fourth can be payable.

  7. Also is a third place prize important to you or would you rather see more go to the group winner.  Would like to get some opinions on this. 

     

    I would prefer not to do a third place prize and do a larger prize for winning group.  I don't like doing a 3rd place prize without a 4th place prize.  Also I think putting a larger amount on group play winner will make things more interesting.

    Rumor has it this weird guy is bringing his broadcast equipment to broadcast this event, and no I'm not talking about @kevincabarello, although he should go, and bring friends.

    Sounds like these rules make a little bit more sense than Burning Mort.  Was there ever a tie-breaker decided by a game of Ice Hockey?  I believe the term Incomprehensible which i used to describe the format is the most accurate.

    I think that is part of what makes burning Mort; burning Mort.  Rules not making sense, surprises, last minute changes and then not using ice hockey in year 2 as a tie breaker.

    Just posting this on the off chance someone in the Chicago area frequents the board.  Also if any of you in other cities wants to follow along and try it in the future.  Great way to increase the tecmo in your area.

     

    Format: Every week starting NFL week 1 in the NFL we will play the man vs man games for that week.  All games will be in regular season mode.  For each game we will skip ahead to the game.  For now all we are saving is a picture of the blue game end screen and the final score.  

     

    This way games do not have to be played if someone can't make.  Some of our players only havr a once a month availability.  Others might join as the season is going.  Only in January are we going to play the man vs man games and move on to the playoffs.

     

    Teams are chosen inverse to skill.  I've claimed the colts already.  Going to the super bowl too.  We have 11 so far and looking to fill in some of the high end teams with new players.

     

    Anyways I could see something like this in say Green Bay or another city with a lot of tecmo players with free time.  Keep in mind you don't have to do it every week.  Once a month or even every other month would work.

     

    Lastly I also have figured out a way to manipulate challonge to keeping track of the league standings.  

     

    Also, I don't think this is possible but if anyone knows how to rip the equivalent of an sta file off a cart.  Hmu.

  11. Lol.  TV that didn't work.  bullshit prizes to places you don't want to go to or can't go to when your back is out for 6 months. 

    Also it's tecmo players championship.  Not to be confused with tecmo players circuit. Which is tpc online. 

    Also nice research.  I think a list of these things is a good ideal.  I think you should add the expected times of the tourney's to your post.

     

    For example Madison is now in April, Midwest always end of July, tundra the week before super bowl.  This way people know the schedule of established events better when planning travel and there own tournaments.

  12. Good question Toolie.   My basic answer is more games and more challenging games.  

    Luck plays a roll in tecmo.  I feel the low and high end teams luck can mean as much if not more than ability.  I feel this happens more often with these matchups than in the rest of matchups. 

    Also I'm hoping that by the semifinals or finals competitors will be out of there individual comfort zone as far as matchups goes.  Banning several matchups helps along with the restriction of once you play in a matchup you can't play in it again.

     

    The cool thing is in the satellite I realized that this restriction can be used to save matchups.  Everyone advances.  So if you call a chi vs buf, phi vs hou, sea vs GB and so on.  You preserve matchups for the elimination rounds.  Since odds are the matchups against restricted teams will be less likely in elimination games. 

  13. Tom.  Just to clarify.  You can't do 

    Sf vs bug or bug or hou or any combination with those 4 teams.

    However sf vs rai or hou vs phi or bug KC or nyg vs Chicago and so on all work

     

    Same rules with NE, IND, Sea.  You cannot match them together.  But like NE vs GB, sea vs cle and Ind vs no would be ok.

     

    Nos I will do an area hotel search and post some of the results.  I got room for a couple guys to overnight at my apartment as well.
