I will be attending this event and will try to stream it at the best quality possible. At worst I can record locally then upload to YouTube for viewing.
 
All ways a great time at this event.

How to Register: Email [email protected], or put your name in the thread listed below.
 
Team Selection for Each Matchup: A coin will be flipped before 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.
Note about Matchups: 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 Rams-Broncos, 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.
 
Rules:
Equipment Failure: If equipment fails during the game, games will be replayed from the start unless it is halftime. After halftime, scores are taken from the half and another half is played. Scores from each half are added together to form final score. Ties are allowed in pool play.  If the game is tied in elimination play, then a new game is started with the first person to score being the winner.  Any malfunction caused by human error may result in an automatic forfeit due to the discretion of the tournament organizers.
Onside Kicks: Onside Kicks are okay anytime (aka, "at your own risk").
Lurching: Lurching is not allowed (dive tackling over the line of scrimmage with a DL). DL use is allowed, but you must either go outside the Offensive Tackle or grapple an OL to rush.
WR/TE at RB: Running the ball with a WR or TE from the RB position is prohibited.  WRs or TEs are allowed to run the ball on reverses.

. I.liked.it the way it was but i can adjust to new rules. Defering the matchup is just plain cowardly. You win the toss u man up and call a matchup. The tecmogods will prefer option 1. 

Gotta post on this, and ill be the first to admit that I even messaged nate in regards to seedings. So without sounding like a giant hypocrite, lets just look at some facts here. #1 no one who has a tournament ever looks at seeding and says lets make this totally unfair. A MASSIVE amount of thought goes into to this. #2 lets think of the amount of tournament crews who have had over 55 people to seed, pretty short list. #3 with the amount of complete tecmo murderers growing at a rapid rate its simply impossible to get this exactly right. Go back and look at the amazing road aaron toner took to the final simply amazing. But prioir to that he would tell you very average madison competitor. Anyone can catch fire and make a historic run. In order to win a tourney gotta be the best that day and beat everyone anyway. I get the gripes and understand the challenge in playing familiar faces. But lets give tremendous credit to the guys that host tournaments like this. The tundra crew has done a incredible job and they have produced what i see as a fair and intriguing set of groups for this wonderful tourney.

If we get a few more people, I'll shuffle it a little so you're playing someone else. The challenge is I'm not sure who has seen who head-to-head often, so as best as I try to accommodate talent levels and previous matchups, there will always be a couple that may be unavoidable. 

I will know by this weekend for sure. So happy I found this community.! cant wait to play with you all...sandman116 on Discord

When do I need to be signed up for this tourny? Im from Wahoo and am interested. Been watching LuckyTool and he says good things.
