ENTRY FEE: $205 of the 20 will include your food. Beer/Wine will be served on premise, so bring cash if you want to suck some back. PRIZES:Champ: Medal, Cash, Starting Lineup2nd: Cash, Starting Lineup3rd: TBD4th: TBDToilet Bowl Champ: TBDFORMAT:Group Play and SINGLE ELIMINATION BRACKETTop 2 From Each Group Will make it to Single Elimination Championship BracketRest of field will be in the toilet bowl single elimination bracket.Size of groups will be determined once we have a final head count.SEEDING:Tournament organizers will be in charge of seeding for group play and then we will factor in the differential point system (max 28 pts) for the seeding in the final single elimination brackets.RULES:Similar to Madison and NATSB:NOTABLE CHANGES: LB1(4th guy down) can be used to block fg, OT(1st player to score wins rather a fg or tdown), Can use DL(no lurching), RB's stay at RB's and WR/TE stay at WR/TE positions. ex. Can't put Neal Anderson at WR and cannot put a TE at RB for blocking.RULES: Team Selection & Coin Toss: A manual coin-flip will precede each game. The coin-flip winner will choose the matchup (i.e. the two teams). The coin-flip loser then selects either (a) one of the two teams or (his preferred controller. If the coin-flip loser selects his preferred controller, the coin-flip winner selects a team first. “One Matchup Once” Rule: The coin-flip winner can only select a particular matchup once throughoutthe 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. 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. WR/TE at RB: RB at TE/WR-----WR/TE cannot carry the football unless it is a reverse. You CANNOT insert a WR or TE into a RB slot for lead blocking purposes. You CANNOT insert a RB into a WR slot. RB stay at RB's and WR/TE stay at WR/TE. Only WR/TE are interchangeable. No Ties/Overtime: No game can end in a tie. If a game is tied when regulation concludes, competitors willproceed 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. Lurching: Lurching is prohibited. If you want to rush with a DL, you must either go outside the offensivetackle 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. Nintendo Malfunctions: If there is an equipment failure in the first half, games will be replayed from thestart. 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, the tourney organizers reserve the right to declare a winner without replaying any portion of the game. Tournament Disputes: Tournament referees will decide all disputes unless one of them is a player in the game Controllers: Tournament competitors are not allowed to bring their own controller to use in games. Tournament organizers will coordinate obtaining equipment for the competition. Gentleman's agreement on the Rules above. If you are playing someoneand they lurch, you need to call them out. LURCHING results in anautomatic 1st down. 15 yards from the line of scrimmage from the previous play.REGISTER:RSVP: email: [email protected]NES?CONTROLLERS?CONSOLE?QUESTIONS:email: [email protected] Edited March 8, 2013 by Rabbi Shmuley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious because it has been dead in this thread lately and I am wondering if this tourney is happening. Would be really disappointed to make the long drive to find out its 10 or less participants. Just need an update on the status ASAP Group Play and seedings are being set tonight. We still have several entries coming in. I am still keeping the tournament open until the day of, so there could very well be 30+ participants. The Magic City Meltdown is happening rain or shine. Currently, we have 22 participants that have committed, but could be anywhere from 20-40 come tourney time.
