  1. Hi Brian, If you want to send them to me, that's fine. I am hoping to come in October as the final round was intense between you and MattyD! I have to see what family obligations and other commitments are at that point
  2. Good afternoon everyone, I want to say thank you to Brian, John, Pat and the other attendees from TecmoBowl.org who helped with the tournament this year! I talked to the founders of the expo and we were impressed with how smooth the tournament went. We would love to have you back for next year's expo! Brain, thank you for working directly with us on figuring out the logistics of making it a success! Finally, thank you guys for the kind words about me. I felt that since you were our guests to the expo, if there was anything that you needed, I would try to do my best to assist and provide. It was my pleasure to help you out any way necessary to make your tournament and expo experience a success! I was able to sit-in on the final two games between Brian and MattyD, and it was intense. I hope to come to the tournament in October as a spectator and meet more people from the Tecmo community. It was also great talking to you, MattyD and I wish we had more time! We are currently having discussions about all aspects of the expo and see what we need to improved upon. There are some things that I can discuss with you at the moment, and others we are still trying to get feedback on. To those who were volunteers or attended the expo, if you could please send us feedback, we would really appreciate it! Here are the list of options we are exploring: 1) We are looking at possible expansion of the sports genre tournaments, looking to include a baseball game, preferably R.B.I. Baseball. If there are people on this forum that know anyone who has run an R.B.I. Baseball tournament in the past, or can point me in the right direction, it would me much appreciated. 2) There was a lot of input about the fact NBA Jam, Tecmo and NHL tournaments started really close to each other or at the same time. Even though the start times were this way due to the nature of the expo being only a one day event, the location of the NHL and Tecmo tournaments were separate from NBA Jam. Brian from Tecmo suggested we should have a separate sports game tournament section, so all the sports games are close to each other, which is a great idea. The only issue is with this idea is the layout for next year's expo have not been determined yet since the expo just ended. Until then, we will still be exploring all options, since the interest in those three tournaments overlaps. 3) Finally, we will be looking into ways to attract those coming from out-of-state and/or not located on Long Island. The current location of the expo that we have is conducive to it being pretty central to those from Far Eastern Long Island to the Far West Nassau, and the current expo format is for one-day only from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. When the promotion for next year's expo starts again, we will have more details at that point. Thanks again for those who attended, and I hope to work with you all again, as I have thoroughly enjoyed this process! Yours in Gaming, George (BanditRa101801)
  3. Hi MattyD, To answer your question about what tournaments have an entry fee, here is the list of the tournaments that do: Tecmo Super Bowl, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Project M All other tournaments are free.
  4. Hi MattyD, Sorry for being off the grid from the forum. Been busy with the expo and a few vacations in between . Most of the tournaments and achievement stations are free with admission for the expo. The tournaments that may have an entrance fee are the Smash Bros. tournaments and Mario Kart 64, but once I get the information, I will post it on this thread. Thanks! George
  5. Hey everyone. Sorry I have not updated this thread in a while, but we will be holding a Tecmo tournament at the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo! Please stay tuned for more information when it becomes available. Thanks for everyone's help to make this happen!
  6. Thanks so much, Matty D. At the moment, I am currently talking to a couple of people you mentioned about how to set-up the tournaments. I should be able to talk to the organizers about holding Tecmo Bowl and NHL 94 tournaments next week depending on schedules. I will keep this forum posted on any changes to happen soon, including any new specifics that come up.
  7. Thanks MattyD!!! I will reach out to the members you mentioned. Much appreciated!!!
  8. Hey everyone. My name is George and I am from Huntington, Long Island, New York. I currently own a complete copy of Tecmo Super Bowl for the SNES, and is one of my favorite games on the system. I am the Volunteers Coordinator for the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo and would like to set-up a tournament at the expo, if possible. Any input is appreciated. Also, I am curious about the Tecmo Bowl scene on Long Island, from a personal basis. Always fascinating to find out more with retro gaming. Thanks for the help and support!!!
  9. Good afternoon everyone. My name is George and I am new to TecmoBowl.Org. I am the new Volunteers Coordinator for the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo which is planned to take place on August 13th, 2016 at the Upsky Hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, New York. Here is the link to information about the expo: http://expo.liretro.com/ I personally suggested to the organizers that there should be a Tecmo Bowl tournament at the expo. At the moment, I am trying to gather information about how to run a Tecmo Bowl tournament and make it attractive to not only the general attendance, but also the Tecmo Bowl community. Hopefully, once I gather information and have discussions with the organizers about this, I hope Tecmo Bowl will be added as a tournament and the tournament can be promoted and advertised for the expo. If there is anyone from New York/Long Island who would be able to assist me with the rules and format, and, in general, if it was possible to get feedback on how to make it successful, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you would like to run a Tecmo Bowl tournament at the expo, I can provide you the contact information to the Events Coordinator and continue further discuss. Plus, if you are from the area and want to be a general volunteer, please let me know. We do not have the incentives program finalized at the moment, but we are trying to make it reflect our appreciation for your sacrificed time and dedicated volunteerism. For the tournament, I would like to keep it at Tecmo Bowl for the NES, even though I personally own and like Tecmo Super Bowl for the SNES better . Thanks for all your feedback and support. I really hope to create a successful Tecmo Bowl tournament for everyone and get to meet the Tecmo Bowl community at the expo! P.S. I am also gathering information for NHL 94. We had a tournament last year, but the numbers were far less than expected. Just like Tecmo Bowl, I hope to gather information about the game and discuss with the organizers to add a NHL 94 tournament back into the expo and promote its inclusion in advertising, as well. Please message me if you have any information about NHL 94 or the appropriate forum to go to. Thanks.
