    No, Phil knows about it.  The Michael Anthony’s owner asked if I was still doing retro gaming tournaments.   I figured I could keep this tournament there.  I have a long term relationship with this neighborhood bar / pizzeria.  Been going there since I was a kid.  Gives a chance to my local friends to come out and enjoy the tournament even if most of them don’t play.

     

    Makes sense. Hopefully they've fixed their wifi since I think last time the stream didnt work very well.

  2. I like the idea of a third place prize more than a group play prize. Group play already matters for seeding, and could end up being the same person winning. Plus with a third place prize, even if you lose in semis, there will be a money game to play between the two people that lost in semis. I think it's more fun that way than being one game away from the finals and not having a chance to play a "money game" for anything.

    I've seen pictures of this belt online for a few years already and have heavily coveted it.  I can't pass up an opportunity to try and take that puppy home.  @tecmobo May be the Chicago Tecmo Super Bowl Champion, but the Illinois State Championship is still up for grabs.

     

    You tempt me sir. I'll have to wait until early January to know if I can go but let me know if you have room in your ride.

    It sucks, but I had to bow out to go drink beer somewhere else. So I guess someone other than me won, he can go fuck himself.

     

    Fucking great, the craft beer fest I left for got cancelled because of the weather. I'm saltier than if I would have lost on bullshit.

     

    Thanks buddy! Idk though, that ending to Mort/Regulator was pretty devastating. Regulator said it might be the worst way he's ever lost.

    Prettttttyyyyyy sure you are shooting low as to not be in the group of death. lol

     

     

     

    Nah you can ask James how much that loss has been bothering me - I tracked him down at the last Madison and made him play me with the same teams and p1/p2 as when he eliminated me two years earlier. He was like "Really?" haha. We didn't get to finish the game unfortunately.

     

    I'm still convinced I was at my best at my first Madison, since I stopped playing online for awhile after that. To lose to James when I was up by 7, with the ball at his 10, with 3 minutes left in the game was crushing (fumble, OT, lose with some cc's mixed in). I had the 1000-yard stare for awhile after that.

     

    So my only point was that if I'm not in James' group then I may not get to play him in the tourney, depending on how the bracket shakes out.

    I've curiously drawed @mort1237 in every tournament ive played in this summer. i'm 1-3 vs him. I haven't played in while as ive been very busy lately . I might hit up some online pickup games shake the rust off. I'd like my group to be Mort, Reg , Flo or Ones11 OR tecmobo if he comes. 

     

    Groups are only 4 people I think. Is Ones coming? That'd add some nice talent.

     

    Interesting that you want to be in your bro's group - I think that's cool. Personally I want to be in James' group since I'm 0-1 in tourney's against him. But I'm sure Tom will work it all out.

    I don't envy Tom's task in making groups out of the current registration list. Reg and Gats are obvious choices for the top group - their resumes speak for themselves. 

    Mort is definitely in that next tier of players given his recent run of form in the past few live tournaments. 

     

    But then you have this:

    Flo - #1 seed Madison

    Lou - #1 Seed Madison

    TecmoBo - #1 Seed Madison

    Todd (immortal) - #1 Seed Madison

    James (player121xk) - #1 Seed Madison

    Green Majik - #2 Seed Madison

    Dan Slattery - #2 Seed Madison

    Hank the Tank - #2 Seed Madison

    Tom (allamerican1569) - #2 Seed Madison

     

     

    Nice some more talent added in the last few days! Now even group 2 is looking like all Madison #1 seeds, I love it! Bonus points if I get to play James since I'm still looking for some revenge from when he eliminated me in the Round of 64 at my first Madison!

  8. The group play should be really competitive! My guess is the top two would look something like this:

     

    GROUP OF DEATH:

    Gats

    Reg

    Mort

    Flo

     

    GROUP OF COMA:

    Lou

    TecmoBo

    Hank

    Tom/Joe/Shark/Immortal (haven't played some of these guys so not sure)

     

    GROUP OF OVERSLEEPING:

    Not sure about the rest of the field

     

    GROUP OF A LIGHT NAP:

    Same

     

    GROUP OF INSOMNIA:

    TBD
