Tubby's is bomb man. Good choice!

Congratulations guys, it sounds like you ran a great tournament! I look forward to the combining of these two tournaments, where the Detroit winner faces off with the Green Bay winner. Friday night, 3/6, Badger Bowl, or a hotel room at the Super 8: Regulator v. Jeff B!

The Detroit Tecmo Kumite III saw 38 competitors go to battle. In the end Regulator took down Ciofani for the Kumite Cup title, RAI over PHI. Regulator continued his hoarding of accolades, winning the contest for throwing for the most yards with the Bears, Jim Harbaugh. He takes home the Jim Harbaugh Starting Lineup. Regulator is now our first two-time champion. Congratulations Kyle! Matt Miller, and Matt Diaz tied for 3rd place, while Eric O'Dell, Louis Buennagel, Matt O'Toole, and Ryan McKay tied for 5th place. A thing we began last year to make this tourney even greater, and provide even more bang for your buck, we've included a pair of consolation tournaments as well. Tim Moore took down Joey Vogt for the "First 16 Out" title, taking home the coveted copy of Foul Ups, Fumbles, and Follies (VHS '91). Tim will surely enjoy this for years and years to come. Congratulations Tim! In the "Next 8 Out" consolation tourney, Derek Ruble knocked off David Thompson, earning his $20 tournament buy-in back. Congrats Derek! One thing of note: We had someone's copy of TSB14 disappear, from Station A. Perhaps someone finds it within their tourney materials, and if so please let me know. The person who misplaced it was very saddened in regards to it's disappearance. Thanks a lot guys! What a great tourney! A tremendous thank you to those that helped make this tournament run so smoothly: Matt O'Toole, Chris Vogt, Chas Claus, and Megan O'Dell. We absolutely could not have done it without you guys, and my appreciation is so large. See you guys next year, and I look forward to seeing many of you at Madison in March for Tecmo XI: Apocalipps Now. Spots are filling up fast!

That is not a valid excuse.

While I feel it could be seen as a disadvantage in the first couple of rds, I agree w Toolie, winning the loss as you go deeper into tourneys is a huge help, assuming the likelihood of knowing your opponent better is increasing as well.

I need to try this when I get home. I have to find out how terribly disadvantaged I am.

Tournament check-in is around 10:30, and at that time vogtcd will be firing up the stream. Expect great games on that TV, all day long, beginning at 11:00am est! twitch.tv/mwtecmo

You can sign up as late as day of, most likely, as I imagine we won't quite be to our 64 capacity. For those unable to make it, we are planning on airing the stream at on Vogt's site: twitch.tv/mwtecmo

That's pretty freaking awesome man. Love it!

I too am in the dark on those. We could play live on Brudtopia with NES usbs!

Buck, it looks great man. Love the OG rating scale. Looking forward to trying it out!

I must have read his email on the road, and didn't get to following up on it. He's in!

I'm in!

Withholding our 50 man tourney in Chicago in 2010 - This is our 3rd Tecmo Super Bowl tournament in Detroit. I believe we had 37 players in year 1, 33 last year, and up to 34 this year.

All very close ones, and as per usual, really depends on who I am playing. But I take DET over SD, but honestly it's a real toss up there. Very evenly matched. TB over PIT. PIT doesn't play too well trailing, and if you can get on them, that's a big advantage. NO has enough D to contain Sterling, while the Pack D shouldn't have much success slowing down a mediocre NO offense, NO over GB. HOU over BUF, as the Bills secondary can't contain HOU, and you shouldn't be running anyway.

Awesome D! Thanks for sharing, and Happy Tecmo Christmas to you!
