Attn. NorCal Residents: weekly RBI league

[Shooty]

I think you become our 3rd Canadian, but our first French Canadian, do you understand the stock market?

Who was the other Canadian besides me?  And don't say erhajj as he's American.

[Attezz]

Isn't Rack Canadian?

[nomaaa]

these tournaments should decide the divisions for the league.
at least, that's how we did it for tecmo bowl.

[broiler]

we'll see if its the same people week after week.  i have a feeling that tommorrow night will bring new faces and lose some who were there last week.

[broiler]

week 2.  if we get 12 people like last week its going to be double elimination again.  i have a printout of a bracket so this time there will be less confusion.  but if we get 16 people like i am hoping, i may just make it single elimination to keep things moving quicker. 

right now my game is hot and i dont think i can be beaten.  i have been practicing with minnesota and new york, two teams i normally dont use but will have to use

[broiler]

tonight only eight people showed up but we still had fun.  i lost my first game but battled my way through the losers bracket and ended up winning the tournament again.  it is pretty fun to see people developing rivalries between each other.  i am going to do some promoting this week to try to get 16 for next tuesday

hey gantry, can i say that the tournament is sponsored in part by dee-nee?

[malnuboy]

how bout the sept 29th event?

[broiler]

sorry malnu, no chance on moving it to friday.  the owner of the bar lets us do it tuesday night because its slow for them that night.

there is a chance i could meet you guys in the city, let me check with the old lady to see if i have any commitments

[broiler]

i am sick, but the tournament must go on.  i really dont feel like working today but i have to.  and i know that i will just want to go home and go to bed, but......

The tournament will go on. 

this week 7:30 instead of 8:00 due to some folks leaving early last week

[broiler]

another vicotry. tonight ten people showed up tonight and it was a good night.  if every on came who had come to each night sof ar we would have a great turnout but its still fun.  i want to get a full 16  man next week and get some more people invovlede.  someone tonight mentgioned we should have a mario kart tourhey instead and i  wonder if would be more fun.  it would definatel y have a bigger draw but i stilll think rbi

[TβG]

you can expand the choice of video games, just maybe play one a month with the major tournament for each particular game culminating in a championship at the end of said month.  you could do rbi every other month as your solid staple video game, then mix in others in the months in between just to keep things fresh.  just an idea.

i am thinking about throwing the title this week to raise interest levels.  there is alot of midlevel competition and to keep their spirits high i plan on throwing some serious meatballs on tuesday.  i wont make it look too obvious, but i wont be throwing my regular nasty pitches.  if i win for a fourth week in a row i fear no one will want to play.

what does dee-nee think about throwing a tournament?

[Attezz]

It's for the good of the game.

I let Octo win about 70% of the games so that he stays interested.

Do what I do and let the opposition take an early lead and then rip their hearts out in the end.

Next time I come home to the bay, we are hooking up for some RBI. I will dominate your little panzy style of play. Anyways, what team would you use? I got SF.

Next time I come home I'll plan to meet all of you but I won't follow through on those plans

[fightonusc]

Broiler - how did you find the people that are playing in the league? Did you post on Craigslist, or what?

[broiler]

i called everyone who would be remotely interested on my phone list.  the first night was only friends.  the last two weeks, we had friends of friends.  no randoms yet.  i also post a myspace bulletin but everyone who responds saying that they will come hasn't shown up yet.  craigs list is probably a good idea

I already paid back my karma on that one. I am crippled now. Happy!

[broiler]

i threw the tourney last night.  only 8 people showed.  in the finals i was st louis and my buddy brian was boston.  he beat me 1-0.  i only allowed two hits so it looked like i was trying to win.  hopefully the word will spread that i lost and more people will show next week.

since only 8 people were there and they had to leave early we did single elimination, only needing one console.  we plugged the other one up and randoms from the bar were playing it.  the best part of the night was seeing people i didn't know getting excited about rbi.  hopefully some of them will show next week
