Irishmike thought this was a sim so he doesn’t want in now. Lol. Who the heck wants to watch and not play?

We do a sim league together. Building a team and watching how good they do verse others doing the same is really fun! Playing is more fun though but it’s close lol

I was sleepy. Also can't believe I lost to you with The Steelers. Won't happen again :). Great to see you as always @red98sethuthut. See you in 2 weeks at Tomczak Bowl!

Signed up :-0

Recap: I went 4-0 in group (3 seed) then lost in the first round to someone I beat twice in group (Donny Balou from Chicago!) He played great and I fumbled twice. Next game I beat Todd Daniels and then overcame a 14-0 (21-3) deficit to beat Tim Mann then lost 17-10 to the Sheild.

1st Place: Mort (back to back champ)

2nd Place: Tim Ubick (The Shield)

3rd Place: Hank (the tank)

4th Place: Levi Lacrosse (Nelson79)

Great tournament. $25 all you could eat Pizza, Nachos, Salad, Garlic Bread. Everyone played at least 6 games I believe.

Bowling Alley had a little arcade for kids and a VR area as well. Kid friendly environment!!

See you all next year!

Sad I had to miss last years tournament but happy we're doing it again! 2v2 tecmo I've done 2 tournaments in now. 1 with a partner that knew my play style in and out and 1 who did not. I'd recommend not just choosing the best possible player you can find but however finding someone who meshes will with your style of play. Also take a chance and play offense/defense at least 1 of the games. The rush of only playing 1 side of the ball is so awesome!

I was working today thinking about what I was going to do this weekend. Telling a friend of mine I was thinking about getting really drunk tonight or tomorrow. Then it dawned on me, I have to be in Bloomington tomorrow to win a Tecmo Super Bowl tournament! I'm actually happy that it slipped my mind because now it feels like it came out of nowhere! What a wonderful time to be alive. Cannot wait to see you all tomorrow! Hope you're all ready! See you soon!!

Happy to see all the out of towners coming down to this awesome tournament! Looking forward to hanging out with you all!

UPDATE (that none of you asked for and very few will care about) My 2v2 partner has deserted me( @randywags25). His brother Scott is able to make Tundra Bowl so we agreed they should play together because I mean it's 2v2 and playing with your brother is awesome. So My partner in 2v2 tecmo will be none other than the Legendary @red98sethuthut!

Already paid. This will be my 3rd year going to the event. The guys in Bloomington are awesome and the event is great. You can't beat Food and Drink and a Tecmo tournament for $25!

@Dan S Tundra we are definitely firing up Tecmo  Basketball.  Friday night

Definitely. Anytime Tecmo NBA Basketball is played I'm interested!

Went up to Green Bay on Friday night to play Tecmo Bowl with 3 legends of the game and wasn't disappointed! Had a great showing against @tecmo_mad_brad and Nate. They beat me as expected but I made both games extremely close. Finished 4th in the tournament so that was great.

Saturday started off great. Finished as the #1 seed after round robin losing only to @TimPapi because I didn't get out of bounds and the clock ran out before I could attempt a game tying field goal. Went into bracket play and defeated Hank with a team I've only been a handful of time (the oilers) and moved forward until I got to @joeygats. A couple turnovers cost me that game but it's ok. It was really a wonderful time overall and I can't wait until next year.

Troy throws some incredible tournaments with great prizes! I promise you all the events he does are great and are a NEED in your tecmo life!

This was my 1st year at Iowa Tecmo and I wasn't disappointed. Overall the setup and space we had was great. The Calcutta was awesome as I went in as the #2 seed and got people betting on me to win the tournament. Crazy. Unfortunately I got food poisoning on the way down and was far from 100% on the day so I couldn't enjoy myself like I normally would have. Basically spent all day drinking juices and pepto lol. I feel bad that Tim H. left the tournament after I held him to 0 yards but it is what it is. My only losses on the day were to Noonan and Joey Gats so not too bad.

@noonan the tournament was great and I'm glad you beat me. You really taught me something in that game. Everyone who I hung out with I am so happy to have seen you. @SammieSmith33 when my headache was at its worst when I walked into the tourney in the morning and you were just absolutely yelling (like you always do) because Minnesota was deflecting a pass or something. That was my most favorite and least favorite moment lol. If it wasn't you I would've been pissed. But I know that's just you being you so I appreciated it haha. I have all intention of seeing you guys next year and I promise I'll do better then. I'm coming for that title next year @randywags25

Time permitting, I've been authorized to host a free Street Fighter 2 Special Championship Edition tournament immediately following the Tecmo Super Bowl tournament on Saturday.

 

This will be on Genesis, single elimination, best 2/3 matches advances.  The finals will be best 3/5.  It's all for pride at this point, and it's free, so why not!?

 

Pick whatever character you want, no limit on who you take or how many times.  You can change characters in between matches if desired.  You may bring your own Genesis controller.  6 button controllers will be provided.

 

We will be playing on 3 star speed.

 

 

 

God damnit. Now I have to learn the characters moves and start playing Street Fighter 2 Special Championship Edition? You do realize I cannot become The King of Games like this.

Awesome to hear! Come game with us Friday night if you come then. I will post room number Friday afternoon!

I will be coming with Mort, Gats, and Henry Brown. Definitely looking forward to it.

And Hank it looks more like you made a power rankings other than Henry rather than a prediction. I don't know if Henry can beat Gats in the finals. Might need Mort to knock him out for Henry to get the W.

Well apparently the cat is out of the bag. Your 2nd Illinois resident will be attending Iowa Tecmo. Just signed up and officially will be there. Looking forward to hanging out with you all and playing some games!

We are partnering with Brad Bell from Tecmo Bowl vs RBI Baseball to run an original Tecmo Bowl(Dickerson Cart) tournament Friday night at Boehmer's.

 

The action will start at 7PM Friday October 18th, entry is $10.

 

100% of funds will be paid out, 65/35 split to 1st and 2nd place.  We will have another sports or video game giveaway for two available to anyone who participates.

 

The game play rules and team selection process can be seen on their website here : https://www.tecmobowlnes.com/format--rules.html

 

Format will either be group play followed by single elimination, or double elimination.  This will be decided by Brad based on player turnout, and available systems.

 

 

 

 

I'm so excited for this. Tecmo Bowl for me isn't on the level as Tecmo Super Bowl but I enjoy playing it a great deal. Been hoping to play in Omaha for a few years but unfortunately have had some bad timing/luck in making it happen. Really excited to see the best of the best in this game!

Here are the NES sports games up for grabs for the top 20 players after group play:

 

 

Yes! I either want Tecmo Baseball since I haven't played that since I was in 3rd grade (and I loved it then). Or I want Tecmo NBA Basketball because that's the next big tournament scene!

Love the memes hank, keep them coming. If you need more Illinois names I can help.

It was really great hanging out with you guys and meeting so many people who I only knew by name still. Rico got Primetime and myself (DPS) home safe. Always nice to beat the eventual champ of the tournament. Basically the same as winning...right?

Happy to be referred to as Kurt Angle in all this. Not sure if I’m up to the Olympic Gold Medalists standards but I’ll certainly put in some effort. In my opinion it’s a strong possibility that Kurt Angle was the best to ever lace them up.

I'm excited for the RBI Baseball tournament. I've never played anyone outside the Dmen Tap Tecmo League crew so I'm looking forward to this. Oh and Tecmo too. But What are the RBI Baseball rules and regulations I need to know for the tournament?

Officially Paid! Can't wait!

Absolutely cannot wait!

Only a few days away from The Tecmo Players Championship II! As of Monday Flo said he was coming as well and we sit at 20 players that I know of. I went into last year knowing I wasn't ready for this heavy of competition yet. I beat Hank, Flo and TecmoBo last year to end up 3-10. Tecmo Gods willing I plan on doing much better this year. If you're on the fence this is the most guaranteed Tecmo games (11) that I've ever heard of at a tournament. We're having a meetup at Dmen Tap the night before and will be having our Dmen Tap Tecmo League Super Bowl with RSG (Tom Jets) vs Pig (Todd Daniels Wash). After that or possibly during we'll be having tons of warmup games and however many shots of malort you want to do with me. I am so excited to see you all again and cannot wait for this. Love you all, see you all soon.

If anyone is interested in playing NBA Jam TE on Sega I'd be more than happy to layout the challenge on Friday night. Can't guarantee but I'm sure @Green Majik might be willing to take on a few comers as well.
