Overall, this was a very competitive tournament from top to bottom. Thank you all again for making Tecmo even better! Be sure to sign up for CT Tecmo XI and Bronx Bowl 2020 for more hot Tecmo action!

Great tournament run by Troy. The value was unbelievable really. For $20 - $30 entry you got entered into a free raffle with some great prizes (I won the signed Andre Reed jersey and $35 gift certificate to the bar), got a free drink, and there was free pizza coming out for hours during the tournament. Top 2 players took home some good cash prizes as well. The guys that came were all laid back and fun to hang out with. Troy set up and tore down the whole tournament himself, set up the stream, and sat out playing to commentate all day and enter all the scores on challonge. We were done with the whole tournament in less than 7 hours and everyone got at least 7 games in. Truly an impressive effort. Also, the bartenders and patrons of the bar were extremely friendly which made for an excellent time in-between games. If you haven't been to a GBLAN Tournament yet, then I don't know what you are waiting for. Troy's a one man show. Oh yeah he sang the national anthem too.

Thanks to all who participated this weekend in Full Nelson 2, and the Tecmo Bowl tournament the night before. Our venue change back to Boehmer's worked very well. We ate copious amounts of sponsored pizza, and consumed other nutrients in the form of drink, all while playing games we all love. To kick off things Friday, Brad Bell took home the Tecmo Bowl championship. You can watch the entire stream here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05De6ceDXec We presented @Nelson79 with his custom trophy dubbed "Lord Nelson's Cup" for his victory from Full Nelson in 2018 in the opening ceremonies. We snapped a pick with him after. the tournament with it. Ultimately, he was unable to defend his title, and we crowned a new Full Nelson Champion : Timpapi, who defeated Gats in a Bills Giants revenge game. Congrats @TimPapi! The entire stream can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbfFQx_mcwg We did have a few audio glitches, but all in all the stream went smoothly. FYI Tom and company do get a bit mouthy later in the tournament as the nutrient filled liquids took over their bodies, but mostly Tom's though. In an unplanned 3rd place game, @Green Majik defeats the #1 seedDPS in a 3rd place game. DPS is now back to back the #1 seed and a 4th place finisher for Full Nelson. He was also 4th place in the Tecmo Bowl tournament! A big thanks to the guys from Omaha for hanging out all weekend. They aren't bad at TSB, but were amazing at Tecmo Bowl. It's absolutely insane to see how good they are at that game. Ben and Nate took 2nd and 3rd place respectively. We had a lot to give away at this tournament. In addition to cash prizes, and free pizza, we gave away over $100 in bar tabs to those that stayed till the end, and all of the prizes you see here : Nick Schanz made out like a bandit getting both the signed Larry McCarren print and a 16bit SNES HD console from Gamerztek! @allamerican1569 won the signed Reed jersey, and immediately put it on. Sorry this picture doesn't do it justice. He was tough to lock down doing Tom things. Brad Bell wins the Arod figure! Other prize winners included Baconfan, Tim M, and Phil E. Tom, Phil, and DKS also were random winners of bar tabs at the end for sticking it out to the finals. DKS was still playing darts when I left the bar for the 2nd time bringing gear home. All in all, we had a great time. We got most of the competitors in a group photo, a few having to leave before we got to this point. My apologies for the darkness on these, the bar and my flash weren't cooperating. I'm pleased with how everything was ran from the venue, and for all the support from Dallaire and Titletown Financial. We lost a couple competitors due to a "Stage 4 clinger" situation, which thinned the herd a bit for everyone. Apparently Tecmo players draw in the ladies, and they can't keep their hands off of us. No means no. Thanks for everyone who attended, and we can't wait for next year when we do it all over again!
