(Limited to first 32 Players to register. Immediate Questions? Call 402-505-7644) As the largest city between Chicago and Denver, why doesn’t Omaha have a TSB tourney? The time has come, friends, to gorge ourselves in an endless pool of 8-bit DELIGHT in our (maybe not your, and that’s cool) hometown! Cost: $20.00 What you get for playing – Top 3 finishers receive cash prizes: 1st - $150 Ben’s Game Zone gift card or $100 cash 2nd- $75 Ben’s Game Zone gift card or $50 cash 3rd- $40 Ben’s Game Zone gift card or $20 cash In-store drawings for seven $5 gift cards, two NBA or NFL jerseys and two hats. (People who are just “hanging out” supporting a friend in the store during tourney are also eligible to win.) Rules (Thanks Tecmo Madison!) Team Selection & Coin Toss: A manual coin-flip will precede each game. The coin-flip winner will choose the matchup (i.e. the two teams). The coin-flip loser then selects either (a) one of the two teams or his preferred controller. If the coin-flip loser selects his preferred controller, the coin-flip winner selects a team first. “One Matchup Once” Rule: The coin-flip winner can only select a particular matchup once throughout the entire tournament. For instance, if Player A wins the toss and selects Packers-Browns, Player A cannot call that exact matchup for the rest of the tournament. Player B, however, is free to select that matchup later in the tournament. Customizing Playbooks and Lineup Changes: Customizing playbooks is permissible. You can access your “change” screen (screen where you check player conditions and make substitutions) only twice per half. This helps speed up the games. No WR/TE in a running play: The Jerry Rice-Drew Hill rule. The rule doesn't apply to WR reverses Ties: Although ties are permitted in the tournament’s “group play” portion, such are not permitted in the single-elimination portion of the tournament. If a game ends in a tie after overtime, a new game will begin, and the first player to score in the new game is the winner. Lurching: Lurching is prohibited. If you want to rush with a DL, you must either go outside the offensive tackle or “popcorn” someone on the offensive line. You cannot simply go around your blocker and dive. Note that this rule does not apply to LBs. Nintendo Malfunctions: If there is an equipment failure in the first half, games will be replayed from the start. If equipment malfunctions in the 2nd half, only the second half is replayed. In that event, the scores from each half are added together to obtain a final score. If the game was uncompetitive or the equipment malfunctioned due to human error, the tourney organizers reserve the right to declare a winner without replaying any portion of the game.
