Real easy to find. Take the walden exit for buffalo. Just half a mile down. Location is next to a tim horton's and several good resteraunts are nearby besides what is served at the hall. I think a Chilpolte, subway, mighty taco (I highly recommend this if it is your first trip to buffalo), fridays, applebees and several other restarurants.

As for hotels the ones on Walden Ave are in walking distance. Any hotel on the list is no more than 15 mins from the tourney site.

Pre-game Friday Tecmo festivities location
(This will be the location for Friday night festivities.) TO BE CLEAR THIS IS WHERE THE PRE-GAME PARTY WILL BE AND ISNT THE ACTUAL TOURNANMENT LOCATION. If your town the Friday night you may come down and pre-register, drop off equipment, play some warm-up games or scout your opponents or get Louis drunk lol.
April 19th Around 6pm
AJ's Lounge (in the back room)
1028 Walden Ave (Its at the corner of Euclid+walden near an 7-11 store)
Cheektowaga, NY 14211
Gameplay rules
1. D.l. line use with no lurching: (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 L.B.'s.)
2. W.R. or T.E.’s Cannot have run plays in playbook(except 4 reverse). However you may substitute an w.r./t.e. at rb2 slot as long they don't have a running play. players like Givins and Sanders are considered wr's.
3. playbook changes/lineup editing each pregame... (this is not a 103.3 the edge tourney)
4.“One Matchup Once” Rule
:
The coin-flip winner can only select a particular matchup once throughout the entire tournament. For instance, if Player A wins the toss and selects Packers-Browns, Player A cannot call that exact matchup for the rest of the tournament. Player B, however, is free to select that matchup later in the tournament.  This does not include matchup cards
5. if we use group play...differential of your win and losses in group play will help determine your seed. The most you can win a group play game is 28 points... so if you win 35-3...your winning differential will be +28. Note: if we use random triple elimination your differential wont matter.
6. TIES: No game can end in a tie. If a game is tied when regulation concludes, competitors will proceed to OT. All OT's will be 5-minute sudden death periods. If no one scores in the first OT, the second OT will be only the first quarter in a new game. This process will be repeated until a winner emerges. So that one competitor does not start with the ball in every OT period, the receiving team (i.e. team that gets the ball first) shall alternate beginning with the second OT period.
7. How the matchup is chosen.
The coin flip winner picks a matchup (a) Or option (b ) Pick a card with a set matchup on it.
If A is chosen the coin flip loser picks team or controller. Then whatever is left goes to coin flip winner.
Option B means you select a random card from a deck of many fair matchups.  The coin flip loser chooses controllers before looking at the matchup.  Matchups are entered both ways so there is no advantage to either controller.  If both players do not like the matchup they will be given a different one.
****NOTE: YOU MAY NOT DEFER A MATCHUP IF YOU WIN THE COIN TOSS.  You Must either pick your own matchup or a card.*****
(cards are given as an alternative for those who do not like to pick a matchup.  also for those who think that this system favors the guy who is lucky enough to lose the coin toss more often)
8. Tournament Issues All issues will be settled by the tournament crew. Headed by Louis Buennagel, Francis Buennagel. (Others will be designated by gameday as seconds for when we are playing.)
Report controller issues and any other issues AS SOON AS IT HAPPENS.  We will use the warm-up session to test all controllers and equipment so hopefully everything works fine. Game freeze will be settled by playing out part or all of the game depending on circumstance... unless you cause a reset by your physical actions. The final decision is up to the tournament directors or those designated by the directors. All equipment loaned for the tourney will be tracked. You may use your own controller if it is standard but do not move the other controller from that station. Respect all equipment as if it was yours. Excessive misbehavior will result in your elimination from the tourney and all future events..

Format
(Less than 25) Random Triple elimination. non bracket.
(More than 25) Round-Robin Group play and elimination brackets. Groups will consist of 4 players. each group will be fairly divided with new and experienced players. Your 3 games in group play will determine your seed in the elimination bracket. The seeded elimination bracket will be single elimination until the elite 8. In the elite 8 it will double elimination.

Lou and I think this will take off and will work on finializing a location that can accomadate more than 24. I've got a couple places in mind. I would hold off on hotel reservations till I'm sure. I'm positive that many of you would rather be as close to the tourney site as possible. Lots of urban sprawl in this area and the best bars are all over the subburbs.

The one nice thing about the buffalo radio tourney is it has got tecmo on the minds of local players. Lou and I expect a big turnout and hope anyone would consider this for major tourney action.

I can't recall the exact order of the group play format used in past tournament s. I was wondering what was the formats used in Madison, Nebraska, NYC, Conn, and Ohio Midwest tournaments. What's the fairest way to determine the order of group plays? (Example 1vs4, 2vs3,2vs4,1vs3,3vs4,1vs2). Also how long has the group play session lasted in past tournanments? I thank you guys in advance...

Fairest order of group play?  None.

I don't give one....I don't assign seeds to players though I do spread out the talent as if I am.

 

If you have a group of 4, guys have to play one game against each guy.  I just tell them to do so.

2.5 hours is a pretty good estimate of how long this will take assuming that every group has a NES to start with.

You could also assume you can fire through group play of four players and two NESes in less than 1.5 hours.

Madison: We do 1v4, 2v3, 1v3, 2v4, 3v4, 1v2. Takes about 2.5 hours.


 


One reason to do it like this:  If the first 4 games go according to plan you're playing for pride and position in the last two.

In groups, I always try to give the #1 seed a break between their games.  The #1 seeds for each group are always people whose skills I am familiar with who seem to be the most skilled players out of the participants.  If the order of play goes out of order, it's not a huge deal so long as participants are ok with it.


 


If you have groups of 4, then you will have 6 games to play.  Each game is roughly 25 minutes in length (with playbook changes, etc.).  If they are all played at the same station, then it should be 2 1/2 hours.  However, if you're planning out the day, it's safer to allot for 3 hours in case there are console issues, etc.  This past year, group play was pretty much on schedule in NYC.  The bracket took longer than expected. Of course, we also had a 4 OT game that took up a lot of time, but it was also due in part to competitors starting to feel some fatigue (wanting to relax, eat, chat, etc.) during a long afternoon.

thanks for advice brian. i like the how the madison guys did the group play (ive been the 4,4,2 in past 3years)...maybe me and mort will use that format. random triple elimination is just too much leg work each round (picking who plays whom at random must be done live each round). thank you for the advice brian.

I like that idea but we have a bunch of noobs so i would like to have everyone thing set-up before hand. I do like your last point about rolling two systems per group. thank you for the advice matt. take care.

If you aren't getting Hot Wings while playing Tecmo in Buffalo, you're doing it wrong.
