Beef Juice Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Just checked the registrations and we're now up to 28 people including Tecmo legend Sobhi Y. (bestinworld). If that doesn't convince you to make the trek to Waterloo then I don't know what to tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Juice Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 And now Regulator has signed up. This almost seems too good to be true. Is someone trolling us? moulds33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofpatbeach Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It's gonna be a bloodbath in Waterloo. Maybe this is where Sobhi makes his final stand: red98sethuthut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Juice Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 We're up to 30 registrants now. I think we'll for sure have 32 people this year with 40 being the high-end prediction. It all depends on weather though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

segathonsov Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Back to 28 registrants. Apparently someone really was trolling us with the Sobhi and Regulator sign ups. Dang Trolls. Was looking at the tiers. I am no expert but it seems to be the Browns and Jets should switch tiers. I always thought the Jets were much better than the Browns.

I always thought the Jets were much better than the Browns. I need to sit down and review tiers in the next couple weeks. I'll take that into consideration. Send me the IPs and I'll tell you who it is. Ha. I don't believe I get IPs recorded in the Google Sheets form.

Beef Juice Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 After mulling over all the matchups and results from last year I have devised the tiers for Tomczak VII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Juice Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Fun facts about the matchups last year.The Eagles were the only team never selected, at all, ever. Not once.Two teams were picked just once, the Niners and Seahawks. I'll let you guess which of the two won their game.Of the 24 Tier 4 matches last year, the Falcons were picked 14 times and went a respectable 9-5.For those rolling Tier 1 keep this in mind. The Giants went 13-4 last year while the Bills went 2-12. Houston was 3-3. Niners 1-0.Aside from NYG-BUF in Tier 1 the most commonly picked match was NYJ-NO in Tier 5. That match can be chosen again this year but in the odd hodgepodge of Tier 4 I'm curious to see how often it will be.Small Sample Size! Chargers went 4-0 last year.Aside from the Bills running into the Giants buzzsaw repeatedly the worst performing team was Pittsburgh who went 2-7. This was followed by Denver's 2-5 showing.The Steelers and Broncos also had the most shutouts. 3 matchups each the player using those teams got blanked. Only Phoenix can claim more than one loss by shutout. red98sethuthut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandelay Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Rams and Falcons in the same tier. I'm pretty sure if you called that match up against Orenga his head would explode. Beef Juice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotdon Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Getting excited, its about time to dust off the Tecmo and get some practice in prior to that fateful December afternoon. Looking forward to it, can't believe its been 8 months since Tecmo X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickabc Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Pretty Pumped for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Juice Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 We're getting pumped too. We have 33 registered now. We're working on details for this year's trophy and we're for sure having a Winner's Jacket to hand out again. Josh will need to for sure wear his from last year when he puts the new on this year's champ, which I guess he could be putting on himself. Josh if you win again please wear two jackets at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segathonsov Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 What time does the tourney start again? Also hotel to recommendations? Don't want to stay at a 5 Star but also not a fan of getting stabbed. So something in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So something in the middle. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8F59_pnPNlockFHaUJXejNYRUk/edit?usp=sharing Here's a map I made last year for hotels. I think guys stayed at the Motel 6 on there and others have stayed at the Clarion and or Days on University Ave. Fans of gambling can always stay at the Isle of Capri.

Beef Juice Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Also the tourney generally starts at 1pm with folks arriving at noon to get settled, register, maybe get a practice game in. A lot of have expressed interested in a Friday get together. Things kind of fell through for that last year and it wound up just being Nick and I hanging out with Mort and Louis at the Lava Lounge, which still wound up to be a lot of fun. But we would like to maybe get a party room where a couple NES units could be set up on Friday. That way instead of holing up in your hotel the night before you can come out and socialize with the fine salt of the earth folks of Waterloo. Anyway we'll keep folks posted. segathonsov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry if I overlooked this) No problem. We have it at Spicoli's Bar and Grill on University. If you're like me and are familiar with Waterloo/CF back in the late 90s/early 2000s it was known as Brooster's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Juice Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 We've got 38 registered now. Most of the recent registrants are new faces to Tomczak, which is always nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
