DPS

Is there a possibility of a 2024 event?

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

Date: August 8 (Saturday)
Location: Savage, MN
Time: 11:00 am
Rules: Variety of Rules (Will release closer to tournament) for round robin. Playoffs will be standard Tundra Bowl Rules.
Prizes: A Championship Belt for sure and depending on amount of people I will come up with some clever ideas and cash payouts.
More Info to Come:
 
 
I know this a total shot in the dark but I will plan to have Millard's Mayhem 5: Dances With Wolfley on August 8 in my garage.  I was thinking at least Minnesota people and my brothers will attend but if anyone else would be willing I would be more than happy to welcome you with "Open Arms."  I don't know about the bar situation so I would have a garage session.  It's a huge garage and is very clean @segathonsov ,  @Nostradamus, @8-bit can verify.  I will spread out the Nintendo's and also have a bbq and beer.  We will have plenty of wipes and we can have BYOC (Bring Your Own Controller) or I can issue a disinfected one for you to use.  I wanted to throw it out there just to see if there was interest. Right now we are limited to outdoor settings of 10, but if things change I would be open to having it.

I'd like to join, IrishMike

See, this is what I was thinking too @DPS!   I really like this format too.  Very cool!

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!

Yes, we're at The Venue at 285 Main Street, Dubuque, IA 52001. It's the same place you guys came to a couple years ago.

No but seriously is there an actual venue or are we going to play in the snow

@hankthetank a hooker joint on 43rd and Mermaid Ave

Do we have a venue yet?

Time for an ole fashioned Mis-spelled post game random recap from time in detroit....
Short Version= Night b4 tourney= Crown Vanilla is the shit Tourney day= 6 or 7 32oz Mugs of Murphys and 2-4 Record
Long Versiion=
Friday= My journey thru the lovely vineyards of lower ontario was quite windy. Had some tim hortons and i pissed on canada. I realized that couldn't stop cuz it was middle of fucking bat country.  then crossed at port huron. About 3omins away from ohio pregme spot i faced my 1st tough decison of tourney. Lunch at Culvers or Bob Evans??? I met Kevin Molnar , M. Nutter and Tugboat from Ohio. Joe Pasta and Randy C. showewd up for some games. We simmed some seasons and played a double elimation tourney. My 1st game went to 3 ot's. Thanks to Tugboat for sharing some Vanilla Crown and dr. pepper.  Helluva drink. anyways i sobered up after having a trey of jets pizza and drove downtown to hotel somewhere on Trumbull st. Ofcourse i woke up and puked ( like a slight throw up while taking an deuce ). Louis being Louis. I remeber Kevin Molnar gambling on a Wyoming Ncaa basketbll game for because of his foolproof 7o% Consensus theory. 
Sat/= Juts random mpments of clarity. Got 2 tv's over to Kumite Hq ( i almost broke one ). The usuals show up including @joeygatswearing  an Impressive Sub-Zero like mask to block germs most likely. Hey u never know.  I remember taking one look at @ricor33 eyes and thinking he must have an hangover like mine ( he was giggling like a school girl). $14 dollar 32oz of Murphys felt like the remedy to my first loss to @toolie . Joe Pasta won the Leslie "Hey I'm dude" Oneal jersey raffle. I set record for most jerseys wore at a Tecmo tourney with the Metcalf jersey i won in tundra, then buying an Qb Eagles sweet medium green jersey from Joshua Allison then putting on another Atwater jersey which i bought from him later. Allison ran train on Brown Belt Division after close win over Nutter in semi's. The necassary evil of Pevos on jis golden microphone which could play like rocky music b4 firing up the crowd b4 the game was hit. @hankthetank or his cuz henry buford brown both did well in the tourney. Other moments @DPS just fell asleep in a open closet for like 2omins like fnning vampire lol. I'm glad to get the i can't win a game vs steelers monkey off my back. @Rsg ( Retrosportsgamer) seemed to blend in crowd calling a lot of games. The one time i saw him he was making some sort of 85bears slash chicago dog and malorts rules joke. ty u for the ride to the hotel and 2 pabst beers. @bob sacamano /odell/Modeezie had good run including an tie vs gats to open the show. ty to u and @toolie Chaz Pasta Detroit Pevos for hosting. Congrats to Mort for winning with the bungals of all teams. I woulda fumbled 7 times with OhNoIckey. What a run by @DaRiddler came up JJ short in champ-game vs mort. Hey the anayltics say to rush the jj so throw doesn't go in endzone. Don't second guess yourself. Oh and @ricor33 during the end of his game saw me dancing under strobe lights cuz he thought i was celebrating mort's win. it was just one of those " Louis being Louis Moments". I was alone in smokers room ( they set up a flatscreener with streamed going so u can smoke and watch tecmo). anyways Nobody was around i'd thought to myself do a lil jig. The bartender did a great job. Also i didn't win a thing in a raffle. The raffle king's reign of terror is over. I'm told that i snore loud. Also i took a robe from my hotel and a pillow and all the towels home to get even after i was charged for parking for 2days. This hotel was fancy but nicked and dimed u to death. Guess it beats staying at the Hotel Viking in hood of detroit ( Do Not stay Here because of the tecmo name fyI). How many times i'm going to draw @TimUbickShaver or TecmoSheild. Didn't get to talk to Levi too much but good to see ya.  Lol @Riddler is High schhol Bball coach and had to throw a game in order to have time to come the the tourney. well done draw up the "screen the screener play 4 me" or that backdoor cut that Belmont won on.  Oh random comments keep coming. Glad the bar did not have Malorts. Mort's Tecmo 1o1 drills are paying off. Who won the Tomczak challenege? I forgot to be the bears. Oh apparently playing shirtless is against the rules of Kumite High council.           1st Mort 2. Riddler 3/4 KMolnar and @ricor33

We will miss you, Ryan!  
 

Yes!  Walk ups paying cash are cool at the Kumite.  You just have to break the bottom brick for us.  
 
 

OK Boys, if you’re still on the fence about making it to Kumite tomorrow, consider this my last ditch attempt to get you here!  We will be raffling off a couple of these custom Tecmo Bunny Logo signs that will look killer in your man cave / video game room / living room. You won’t want to miss out on a chance at these and you can only get them at the Kumite!
 

Tomorrow, we leave for the Kumite!  
 
 

Wish I could be there - my wife and I had a conflicting family event this year but the boys from OH are coming to make some noise!

Join us the night before the tourney for an assortment of NES/SNES games while we set up from 5-9 PM.   Mainly sports and competition games with NHL 94, NBA Jam, Ice Hockey, Tecmo Super Bowl, Street Fighter 2, Mike Tyson's Punchout, etc, etc.  
   
Triple A and Collegiate baseball games in Omaha the night before as well.  For anyone not attending the RBI tourney, the Omaha Beef indoor football team plays that night at 6:30.  Omaha has 2 arcade bars.  Beercade in the Benson neighborhood and Beercade 2 just south of downtown Omaha.  
 
We're getting close to having confirmed players attending from 10 states this year.  The pic below illustrates the states and years that were represented.
 
 

Here are some of the raffle prizes that we will have available at Kumite.  The signs are 12’’ by 8’’ and have LED lights.  They come with power source and a chain for hanging.  These will look great in your Tecmo cave (or anywhere)!
 

@SimpleSimon so your saying I get Marino and Crash Jensen.  Let’s go!  Beef Juice what if Sammie Smith scores three touchdowns?  Are you going to have lines of cocaine?

BRAVO! SHELL SHOCKED INDEED! MBJ and Vanilla Ice at the same time... oh my....

After Christian Okoye’s Jersey Cup announcement we thought it would be a good time to have a sneak peek of 2 of this years door prizes, an autographed jersey and a “Nigerian Nightmare on Elm Street” framed print!

Great to see PaskDaYooper playing at Kumite. He asked which tourneys to go to, told him Kumite is always a good time, and that it’s on my bucket list. Glad he signed up. Really good dude, Tundra Bowl was his first tourney. Show him a great time Kumite!
