manYo Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yeah, just decided to throw it together after not hearing back from another place that's been teasing a bit about having one, but nothing going...... sorry for the late notice, I also planned on e-mailing everyone on the PNW mailing list, which I believe includes you Tailback King, but just barely have enough time in my life to put this thing together as is........ but I will do so ASAP.

manYo Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Registration is open! See updated information in first post. I also sent out an e-mail to the PNW mailing list, I'm not sure if you were on there Tailback King, but just e-mail me to register and I'll get you on there. I will update with more information, including a flyer, within the next week or so.Also, an exciting development... PNW IT guy Kyle (Invaderstar) and I are in the process of putting together the necessary wizardry to stream this event live over the internet, possibly up to 4 of the tv stations (4 different twitch channels basically).

You can also split the coax.Last but not least, you can split for the purposes of showing the game on a big screen while playing on a regular tv, especially if the big screen is a laggy HD one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manYo Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Does anyone have any creative ideas for the format of this tournament? Just reading around, The Boneyard Bowl tournament set-up sounds interesting... also the Tecmo Kumite in Detroit. They are not your traditional pool play / bracket tournaments, and I was thinking of doing something different for the Winter Classic. Check them out and give me feedback if you like, or any new ideas.Or any ideas about anything at all for this tournament would be much appreciated, it's not my baby it's for the PNW, so get at me here or my e-mail which is my username at aim.

The Boneyard Bowl format has always worked really well and adds a different dynamic from other tournament formats. Drafting teams and having the option to steal your opponents team in a Tecmo tournament is a unique experience. I'm also really excited to for the Tecmo Kumite triple elimination format. I know O'Dell and Toolie will run a great tournament in Detroit! One different idea I had for a tournament would be to have everyone use the same even Pro Bowl teams in a double or triple elimination format. It would take away a lot of the matchup calling and analysis because everyone would be using the same players on both sides of the ball. If you want a more offensive shootout, leave in the starters, if you want a defensive contest just put all the starters on the bench and use the reserves. See the attached PDF file and let me know your thoughts. I wish I was closer for this tournament! I'm sure it will be a great time and I hope you are able to stream it on the net Even Pro Bowl Teams.pdf Edited December 1, 2012 by UltimateWeapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manYo Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Thanks for the feedback UltimateWeapon, but I think a lot of us want to use the range of tecmo players and teams, so more likely we go with the Kumite or Boneyard models, or some hybrid thereof. Well, today I traveled all around the cities of Centralia and Chehalis scouting for a venue, which turned out to be a great excuse for bar-hopping.......................... ......................... along the way I managed to pick up another TSB cartridge and some controllers for cheap at a crazy flea market I never knew about...... and of course saved my best potential spot for last, a place called O'Blarney's...... it passed the first test: the bartenders and manager not only knew what Tecmo meant, but had fond memories of rushing for 360 yards with Barry Sanders in one game, etc........ also a good place in that it has wifi for streaming, a bank of televisions we can split our tube TVs to (it's a sports bar), and plenty of room not only for this year's event, but for future expansion as well (hopefully). So okay...... I told the manager, if I don't get 16 people, I'm not even going to waste his time...... so I need 16 sign-ups, let's go, get them in, next few weeks. If you got any questions or comments, let me know. I'll update the first post with sign-ups as I receive them. Mahalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manYo Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 This tournament is in downtown Centralia, so travel by train is possible, this locale is just a few blocks from the station. There's also a few hotels downtown.... including The Olympic Club, which is a McMenamin's owned bar/restaurant/hotel thing. You can google for that or just e-mail or message me (username at aim) if you want more information on that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manYo Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well........ I sincerely apologize for fucking with everyone, but a whole lot has come up and I won't be able to run this tournament, or participate at all. I hope someone else can pick up the pieces and make this thing go, unfortunately I will not. Great meeting you guys last June though, that was great...... if someone wants to, feel free to take over the PNWTC. Let me know if you need anything, kamp has my number. Adios.

Knobbe Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Shoot, I'm going to unsticky until someone wants to pick this up.I hope whatever might have happened for a sudden drop like this isn't tragic and it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamphuna8 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think the only hope for this December is if we can get Another Castle to host it again. Its another 90plus minutes north, but they held the first one 2 Mays ago. Otherwise, someone with time and commitment will need to step up.

bob sacamano Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 That sucks guys. Hopefully someone will step up and host this thing! I would definitely suggest the Tecmo Kumite format Detroit will be using. Random draw each round for opponent, triple elimination. It doesn't get any simpler than that!
