Ickey Woods "Every Day I'm Shufflin" T-Shirt
Cleveland Browns Bernie Kosar Jersey
Jim Kelly Autographed Football

RULES:
1. 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 (b) his preferred controller. If the coin-flip loser selects his preferred controller, the coin-flip winner selects a team first.
2. “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 Cardinals-Falcons, 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.
3. 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.
4. WR/TE at RB: A WR/TE cannot carry the football unless it is a reverse. You can insert a WR or TE into a RB slot for lead blocking purposes, but he cannot carry the football. To further clarify, players such as Ernest Givins, Ricky Sanders, and Andre Rison cannot carry the football unless it is a reverse.
5. No Ties/Overtime: No game can end in a tie. If a game is tied when regulation concludes, competitors will proceed to OT. If no one scores in the first OT, a new game will begin and the first competitor to score will be declared the winner. So that one competitor does not start with the ball in each OT period, the kicking team in the first OT will be the receiving team in the new game (i.e. the second OT).
6. 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. Note that this rule does not apply to LBs.
7. Nintendo Malfunctions: If there is an equipment failure in the first half, games will be replayed from the start. 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.
8. Take care of the bar staff!
 
To aid in the smoothness and flow of the tournament, it is greatly appreciated when NES consoles, controllers, CRT TVs, adapters, etc. are provided. If you can help out in this way, please e-mail me at [email protected] I will list what you are bringing in the participants list above. If you don't see your name on the participants list and have paid, contact me; I am busy, but try not to be negligent.
 

I'm expecting more of this from Woodshed and JimSocks...

Count me in.
 
I also have 2 others who would like to sign up, the same 2 who were in Madison: Seth M. (Sticky Icky Woods) and Vicki W. (Tricki Vicki), yes a girl.

I'm definitely in. I've got 2 tvs, 2 systems and 2 games if u need em. 

I'll check my work schedule and get approval from the wife to attend.
 
Hopefully all will work out for me to attend.

I like how they have to emphasize that it's a 'quality' Brown Ale, so that it differs from the organization.

If she brings hot friends I'll sell my soul to get there

I'm trying to get there.. I really don't know if it's in the cards this year. Plan is for me to move out April 1st. Flight I could get with a 75% probability rate.. working on hotel/food/beer..currently 25% for that, unfortunately

I've also got plenty of Old Crow left from last year if u wanna throw up at some point. It's probably aged to perfection by now. 

  Let me know if you don't want this on here @kevincabarello

I think the final score of my game with Rik was  "ughghhghhhghhgh" over "<shouldershimmy>"
 
I took a picture of the screen, actually:
 

Swapping at Badger Bowl currently

Guys I think if we just do it at Badger Bowl, keep things in the Cabin Room, and don't open any of it, we should be fine. It's the one place almost all of us are gonna be tonight.
