The misguided self importance here is comical. Since I’ve seen nearly the same “numbers” since before Madison, at least we know the source of accusation now. (Not Hal? Maybe he was given that spreadsheet? Just saying I am seeing it in full now and it is coming from this “camp”.) Storage this year was ~3100 You can’t manage an AWS site with RDS, Elasticache and etc for less than 90/mo. You forgot travel/lodging/food for 5 staff. You forgot travel/lodging/food for multiple trips per year to madison. You forgot advertising. You forgot email services. (before you complain, you can’t use free email services for a list of 30k people.) You forgot box truck rentals. You forgot all the donation entries. You forgot free flight travel and hotels for multiple less fortunate players per year. Who knows what else. I’m on my phone and really don’t care. The assumption here is amazing. Hal, post your P&L for 16, 17 and 18ytd then I’ll post mine. I promise you my losses are far greater. Adios, Tecmo. P.S. I have the IP of the person who submitted the takedown as of yesterday. That person has multiple accounts on multiple sites and services. They are posting in this thread. I’m not disclosing who it is because the more they visit our forum from different locations, the more dots I can connect back to them in regards to other drama and accusations. Multiple Discord accounts, twitter accounts, TPC profiles, you name it. I will post it all in full in due time. Maybe I’ll pull a RWS and announce it the weekend of this person’s Upcoming event. It wasn’t Hal, however, It is an associate of Hal.

Sorry for not being more responsive. I was waiting to make a huge announcement involving our tournament manager with customizable data points where you can literally make a reactive database for ANY title you wish, but, then the unthinkable happened. In the last 8 weeks, I bought a business and moved to Jacksonville from Tampa to run said business. In addition, my Tecmo Madison partner and best friend (Casey) took his own life. Tecmo has been a bit of a sore spot since and I've pretty much checked out on it since that happened. A lot of you met and got to know Casey. He was a super happy, creative and talented man. He really enjoyed building the new Tecmo Madison, the new responsive database and our esports tournament manager which we were about to roll out. I hope this feeling passes but as of now, every time I look at what we built, I tear up a bit. Going from talking to someone nearly every day to then trying to understand what they did is super, super heavy. If you're a praying man, say prayers for his family and also mine. There is a lot of hurt and confusion going around. As of now, I have zero Tecmo plans in the near future. I am swamped with work but also have a heavy heart. If you are hurting, reach out. You know me. I love all of you and would give you my all and have in many cases. Let this be a lesson to us all and let's not bury anyone else anytime soon.

I find that the best part. Authentic threat.

One XL for me, please. Thanks.

For sure. Gotta get through Madison and then we can start the hype train. Having a tourney super close before/after Madison is definitely going to hurt any hype train from my end. We'll have a good 3 weeks though.

You can dive. This whole post is a lie.

Heck yea man! Have you signed up yet?

I nominate someone else. Freaking slammed right now. @segathonsov?

Double elim starting to take shape.

Right on! Tenn is beautiful. I love it there. We'd love to have you come out. If you have any questions or need any help signing up, you can text us at (608) 572-7857.

I think nearly everyone is at the BW Inntowner listed on the site --> https://tecmomadison.com/tecmo-madison-xiv/hotels/ The block sold out but I have a call tomorrow to try and get more spots.

An update was pushed live today: You can now set a round robin format which can output to the next round: more round robin, double elim, single elim, etc. This basically makes Challonge look likes child's play in addition to it being tied specifically to the Tecmo tournament database. You will also be able to add your own game (e.g. NHL94, Street Fighter) and parameters then also submit results.

It is the corrections log and will get corrected. There are bigger issues to sort through first. The ones and twos missing games will be last.

The passive aggression is real. I'll look. My PM backlog is longggggg.
