Tecmo tournament

[MTK]

Let's shoot for next week to get a tournament going. Practice up.

[SmootSmack]

We about ready to get this thing started?

Are we going to have a draft to pick teams? Matty?

Anyone want to play a practice game?

[MTK]

I'll do up a random draft order, then we can pick our teams and get started. Is everyone still down for this??

[MTK]

Alright here's the draft order:

1. Redskins8588 (49ers)
2. Beemnseven (Oilers)
3. TMC (Giants)
4. Schneed10 (Bears)
5. RobH4413 (Steelers)
6. SmootSmack (Bills)
7. FRPLG (Dolphins)
8. Mattyk72 (Eagles)

Let's just post our team selections here, Redskins8588 you're up. I'll PM everyone here too with this info. The bracket will be very simple, the higher seed player is player 1 (home team) for games 1 and 3.

1 vs. 8 (Redskins8588 vs. Mattyk72)
2 vs. 7 (Beemnseven vs. FRPLG)
3 vs. 6 (TMC vs. Smootsmack)
4 vs. 5 (Schneed10 vs. RobH4413)

And here are the basic rules of play (these are some common rules that many online tecmo leagues/tournaments use):

- Best 2 out of 3 wins and advances to next round.

- No lurching (using a defensive lineman to dive through the offensive line and sack the QB or tackle the RB). In fact, just to keep this simple don't use a defensive lineman at all.

- You can't use the 4th man down to rush a PAT or FG.

- No intentional onsides kicks unless it's the 4th quarter or you're down by 14 or more. If you accidentally kick it onsides and recover, you MUST punt it right back to your opponent.

- Make sure you give your opponent enough time to select his defender before snapping the ball.

-The winner is responsible for reporting the game info to me. This is what you need to do after the game. Take a snapshot of the final boxscore screen (Under 'File' on the main nesticle menu) and email it to me at kyerm@hotmail.com. And of course you can post the scores here too so we can see just how bad you really are.

Any questions just ask!

Nice. RobH, I know we have to pick our teams first, but I'll make sure to catch you on AIM once we've picked our teams. My AIM name is Schneed1010.

I work your typical 9-5 hours, best time to get on for me is after 9:00 pm on a weeknight. But let me know when you can do it and we'll work it out.

[Beemnseven]

So, we're waiting for Redskins8588 to give us the team he's going to use?

How long does he have?

I'm down in outer banks right now, and anytime after 9:00 works for me. I'll make sure to get on AIM and we'll get it going.

I agree...I LOVED that game. Remember Christian Okoye would just plow over people and send them into the first row of spectators when he touched them? hahaha. That was a great game!
