vogtcd11 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 With MattyV getting married in June, any showing of the Vogts for a Ryder Cup this year would be out of the question. But a 2014 Ryder Cup would be fantastic in Chicago. I could only imagine Matt, Jimmy, Joey and myself on a Ryper Cup team. That would be so neat.

ImFlo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Rooms booked at the Sheraton. I should be rolling deep with a group that will be Team Orenga level drunk and loud. Looking forward to some street Tecmo to be played in the alleyways of downtown Madison on Friday night / Sunday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImFlo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Also, I'll try and make some sort of cool Tecmo swag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgboud2 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 TecmoIX is just two weeks away! Time permitting, we do intend to re-introduce double-elimination beginning at the Elite 8 in Bracket Play. If you survive the first few rounds of single-elimination in Bracket Play, therefore, you can afford one misstep. Below are a number of discussion points for the next few weeks:(1) Who are your tournament darkhorses/sleepers? Most outside of Nebraska seem to be unaware of Luke C’s ability. Truth be told, he’s one of the favorites for those in the know. Super sleepers are Adam “Garbage” Gauthier, Joseph N, and Jack H. Garbage is the fastest juicer in the field and always seems to make the Elite 8. Will his drunkenness again derail him? Joseph N is very highly regarded in Nebraska circles. And Bgboud’s been man-crushing on Louisiana’s Jack H for a year. Madison, however, is not Louisiana, so we will see. (2) Which big name will not survive group play? Given group play’s format this year, I think several big names could fail to advance. I’m not saying Kevin M (TecmoV Champ) will fail to advance, but he sure looked rusty a few weeks ago. I’m also concerned about Josh H. The guy just got married, his head is in the clouds, and he’s not even playing. Upset alert! (3) Who will be the TecmoIX Champion? I’ll take last year’s runner-up, Regulator. Part of me wants to take Daboy, but I don’t quite trust him to survive until double-elimination is re-introduced. Given my lack of preparation, my game probably isn't sharp enough to do real damage. And it seems like Mort hasn’t beaten an elite player west of the Appalachians since TecmoVII, so I can’t take him either. Jack is a hell of a non-juice player, but that said, I think I vanquished that in Carthage Mud Bowl for a Barry Sanders autographed mini-helmet.

OL' Dirty Tecmo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hey Lou, thanks for the 513 love but no way I deserve to be mentioned in this thread. And unfortunately, big Steve Engel's wife has his long distance gaming a bit on lockdown and won't be making the Madison trip. He has a newborn so probably no chance in a win anyway based on #TecmoIX facts. From the buzz online Regulator is probably a decent pick. The double elimnation will help ensure the elite don't get screwed and the rest of us will have a second shot at a possible major upset. Can't wait for seeding! Hope it's favorable because I could so see myself going out in back to backs. Good luck everyone and I'm looking forward to meeting those I haven't yet met from the Cincy/Cleveland tourneys. Travel safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holzy11 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Chicago for a Ryder Cup is actually a great idea, with so many of us within about 5 hours of the great city! It would be perfect for the summer, bringing the wives, etc. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Great thinking Lou!

qb_browns Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Is anyone in the Twin Cities around this weekend for some kind of last weekend practice? My usual OTA participants are out of town and one last "practice" would be good. I highly recommend that everyone get some last second practice in, nothing but your best effort will be required this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickabc Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Awesome work getting that up guys. A quick question that's probably already been answered: How will players within the groups of 8 be seeded? Will the be a random draw or based on records/previous tournaments/etc?

bob sacamano Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 After perusing the group play bracket, I was just about to ask the same question myself? I'm guessing random draw, or perhaps how groups are listed on the page right now, was how they were randomly drawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoigaard Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It looks like the players are listed in alphabetical order by first names in each of the groups so I can't imagine that's how it's seeded. I think I remember reading/hearing that the top 2 players in each group would be seeded and then a (for the most part) random draw for slots 3-8? I've only looked at a few groups closely besides my own, but figuring out/projecting the top 2 seeds in each group seems to be pretty straightforward based on past record. Certainly Chet/others can and will give better details, but that's what I'm piecing together at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend that everyone get some last second practice in, nothing but your best effort will be required this year. Myself and another Minnesotan will be making the trek to Madison (Lodgefather) We're quite rookie level but would enjoy a chance to play with some of the better players. I imagine it will be like Rocky doing some resistance training in the snow (not that I'd ever compare myself to Sly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knobbe Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Out of curiosity, are there any guys who play online who will be attending their first tournament? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holzy11 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Group participants are listed in alphabetical order on the site. You won't learn of your first round opponent until tournament day. That said, and as I previously mentioned, we will position the top two guys within each group on opposite ends of the group play bracket. The remaining six guys will be randomly slotted into the other six spots. One other note: We reserve the right to modify groups as we deem appropriate. It is possible guys will drop out before March 2 or "no show" on tournament day, either of which may necessitate group modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be "that guy." Even texting day before is better than no-showing day of, heck even texting day of before check-in is better than no-showing--not preferred, but is still better. If you know of anyone who isn't going to show, have them back out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holzy11 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) So say two guys that (1) can't spell Jensen and (2) have never reached the Final 4. And in misspelling Jensen, all you've done is anger the Tecmo Gods. Enjoy your early exits. Ohhhhh!!! Ask four guys to rank the Regions in terms of difficulty and you'll get four different answers. The Jensen Region, for instance, is dubbed the weakest in the preview article.

This was a perfect time to talk about how bad at Tecmo you are, how difficult your region is, and how much more difficult this year is compared to others. What a waste of an opportunity to sandbag your chances in front of the entire Tecmo world. toolie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averagetsbplayer Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think if I played against Bailey 5 times right now, he would beat me 4 times - that's how bad my play is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
