Damnit, now I have to completely redesign the Stiller region!

Allow me to elaborate. We do our best, guys. There are a lot of tournaments. We can't upload them all. We have to use our judgment on which tournaments we enter, based on our experience with those tournaments, the number of players, the talent of the field, and expected crossover between the players in that field and the players in our field.
 
As Dave mentioned, even if documented really well (which many are not) and sent to us promptly (which many are not), it's not easy to enter them into our site. It takes time. We're all busy people, so we don't get to them all. We prioritize.
 
We know who did well in all of the tournaments this year (like, say, Nebraska), and we'll try to take that into account with seeding, to the degree it's feasible.
 
The person who wins #TecmoXII will not win it because of how he was seeded. He'll win it because he was the best player in the room that day, as Derek was last year.

Passive aggressiveness is typically a good technique

The #TecmoX post-party a the Plaza was epic. I don't remember last year's. They were finding Tecmo cards in their jukebox for months after #TecmoX.

Plaza adjacency is paramount.

I have it on good authority that more than one sorority girl at Clemson has a Mort tattoo.   #MortRumors  

Here's a fun graph (a few days old) that illustrates the pace of registration from opening day through tournament day. We've never seen it this steep, this late in the game. Lots of guys signing up late for the last tournament, and/or the chance to meet the great Leif Powers in person! H/t @averagetsbplayer
 

For those of you who don't know Leif, he's kind of a big deal: http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/587686-tecmo-super-bowl/faqs

Orenga and I are going to be out of the country on vacation for the next few weeks, with little or no access to the Interwebs. Chet and Bailey will be holding down the fort while we're gone. Expect web site updates to be slower, and certainly responses on here to be slower. The good news is that most people have already registered for the tournament, and we've seeded most of the field.

Another update to the original post. I recommend checking out the Retro World Series facebook page if you're interested in other retro games besides Tecmo. Pretty cool event taking place this August down in Houston. Hal will have some space at the Badger Bowl if you want to get more info or potentially play some other retro games.

Updated the original post with information about the maximum # of players. I don't think we'll need it, but good to have it in place if we do.

Flo is signed up. You're all screwed, now.
