Instead of doing a league, we're just gonna do an online tournament. Here's the premise...
- A casual tournament, basically an excuse to do something with my 2011 ROM
- Random seeding
- Single elimination
- Best of 3 series
- Flip to see who chooses the two teams, and then the other player chooses which team to use for that series
- Rules will be based off of the RBI league rules (http://www.rbibaseball.us/league/rules). I'll put more dedicated rules up soon, but this is a start
- You will upload games to the RPC choosing the new OCS1 ROM option in the upload
- I'll update the bracket as the games move along
- Series recaps are appreciated here in the forum
This is for fun, no money, all you win is 8-bit glory. To play, you must have:
- An account with the RPC (I'll make you one if you don't have one)
- Ability to host a game either via hamachi or direct hosting
- A good internet connection so that the game doesn't hiccup
If you're intersted, sign up here. When we get enough people, I'll setup the bracket.
Current participants:
Tjans
Kulseic (jimjam)
Slim Jimmy
Racklin2
scrambledeggs
ajarrells28
MRRBI
Dirty Swinger
Tsbgod
Duanesammons
Suckerpunch
Bread Inspector
Ill sign
I'll play...
Wonder if this will get any Dee-Nee guys to play? Joe Dirt & some other wop played solid the times we played.
I tried this a while back with just dee-nee guys, and they played, but then stopped mid-tournament. The only one who kept playing was attezz, and his connection sucks. I know a few were intersted but never got into the online thing. Perhaps someday...if not, no biggie. If we can keep these things going, people will eventually start to gather and play. I'll mark you down...
P.S. I want to start this soon so it's not just hanging out there and never happens. So, next week I hope we have enough participants...
Awesome, we have 8 guys. We'll go with this unless more show up...look for the email, rules, and bracket next week.
Do you guys want random seeding, or a draft (not individual player, but team draft)
The tournament page is up, and is available here:
http://www.rbibaseball.us/tournaments
I may have to have someone walk me through what all to download and everything (got a new CPU), but sure, I'm in.
I'll walk you through it...I had another guy IM me too, so if that's the case, we'll have 10 guys...
Hey Turd,
I just saw this. If a spot opens up, I'll play. Thanks!
You're in. Info will be sent out soon...
Thanks! I look forward to it.
If we have lopsided number of teams, the last to sign up will probably have to play a play-in game or something.
Count me in.
Awesome, this brings us to 12 guys...it'd be cool to get 4 more...
The tourney has started. The following people have round 1 games:
MR. RBI vs. TSBGOD

TSB GOD is not in system by the way. Thanks
Ok, I'll add him.
K, he's added...looking forward to the recaps...
Thanks for adding. On to games..
The series of New York Vs New York
I was the Mets and TSB GOD the hated Yankees.
In game one the Pitching match up was Hughes of Yanks vs Santana of Mets. Game was tight throughout, but it was the Yankees lack of hitting and bullpen which broke down in the end. The only run coming from Mets on a deep bomb for the win. Mets would punch out 23 Yankees in all as Yankees would hit a horrible .054 in game. Not going win a game hitting like that.
In game two it was pretty much almost a blow out as CC was on fire. He was un hittable throughout game and gave Mets fits all game long. Both teams hit horribly as Yankees hit once again below the Mendoza line at a .129 clip. CC pitching was the difference here.
In game three the final of series the starters from game one would once again pitch versus each other. Santana would once again pitch a gem and the bullpen would step up once again keeping the Yankees frustrated all game long. Mets pitching in this game would go on to K 22 as Yankees hit .100.
Overall the Yankees made a couple mistakes which cost them the series. One being CC probably should have started games one and three. The big thing was the overall hitting. Yankees batting average in series was .092
Really tough to win games when you don't hit at all.

Thanks for getting your game in fellas. Two the ones who get defeated, well do more tourneys on a regular basis Nd have a better setup for seeding. I appreciate your patience with the "seeding."
Hey rackilin2,
I can play our tournament game any night. Please let me know what works for you. Tonight works best.

Suckerpunch advances cause rackilin2 is a quitting tool. Winder how great his league would have been with the commish quitting before the season started.
Looks like the tourney games are getting in.. that's great.
Yep, one more game to complete round 1...
I think we should get a league going and draft a team, that way I will get the team I like and kick MR RBI's ass.....LOL
Turd are we allowed to play our round 2 series anytime? If so let me know what will work for you. Thanks
Scrambledeggs let me know too. I'm available most evenings.

Sorry, mr reason I didn't get the notification of this post. I'll hit you up tonight.
Sounds good...
Lets try it for another night. I have a feeling tonight is not a good night.
How Bizarre How Bizarre
Brother Pele's in the back, sweet Seena's in the front
Cruising down the freeway in the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red-blue lights flash us from behind
Loud voice, "All move, please step out onto the line"
Pele breathes words of comfort
Seena just hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades
"Is that a Chevy 69?"
How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre
Destination unknown, as we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster reveals a smile from the pack
Elephants and acrobats, lions, next monkey
Pele speaks righteous, sister Seena says "Funky"
How bizarre
How bizarre, how bizarre
Ooh baby

It's making me crazy

Every time I look around
(Look around)

Every time I look around, it's in my face
Ringmaster steps up, says, "The elephants left town"
People jump and jive and the clowns then stuck around
T.V. news and cameras, there's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters, ask where, for, and why
Pele yells, "We're outta here," Seena says, "Right on"
Make your moves and starting grooves before they knew we were gone
Jumped into the Chevy, headed for big lights
Wanna know the rest? Hey, buy the rights

Indeed....
scrambledeggs728(Indians) vs coloradocaps(Yankees)
First game
Yankees win 8-7. Behind 3 homeruns, yankees take a 8-1 lead. Indians claw there way back to within one with a couple of 9th inning dingers off a tired Sabathia until Soriano came in for the save. It was a bit tense there for a few moments.
Second game
Yankees win 4-3. Again, Yankees take early lead into the 9th up 2-1. Indians tie it 2-2 to force extra innings. Top of the 12th Jones hits a 2-run pinch hit homerun to give the Yanks a 4-2 lead. Indians answer with a pinch hit HR themselves from Duncan, but that was it and game ends 4-3 and the Yankees exhale another big sigh of relief.
Turd has round 2 officially started? Do we have a deadline?
A couple of guys didnt play their games, so it's tough to advance the tourney. I would have to find a replacement...maybe some of the guys on the RBIBL waiting list...
I'd like to see tourney finish. I would just forfeit guys who don't play games and go to round 2.
I'm with Mr rbi. Let's get this going.
To be honest, I let it slide because the league started and couldn't get guys to play their games. I just advanced slimstud7, so feel free to get your games in for round 2.
Turd, you can advance coloradocaps to the next round. They beat scrambledeggs. See above.
Done! I'll get kulseic and dirty to play their games, and when I get back from Boston (watching the Brewers play) I'll get my game in with MRRBI.
I REALLY want a tournament to work. I think making it a regular thing would be fun.
I think between RPC/Tourney/League R.B.I. is headed in the right direction.
Is this thing dead or are we still playing?
It's dead. Noone is ever around to play their games, and I have no energy to hunt people down anymore. I'm done trying. I'm going back to playing casual games with people instead of trying to organize stuff.
