RBI Online Championship Series

[Turd]

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

[MR R.B.I.]

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.

[Turd]

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...

[Turd]

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...

[Turd]

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)

[Turd]

The tournament page is up, and is available here:

I may have to have someone walk me through what all to download and everything (got a new CPU), but sure, I'm in.

[Turd]

I'll walk you through it...I had another guy IM me too, so if that's the case, we'll have 10 guys...

[Suckerpunch]

Hey Turd,
I just saw this.  If a spot opens up, I'll play.  Thanks!

[Turd]

You're in. Info will be sent out soon...

[Suckerpunch]

Thanks!  I look forward to it.

[Turd]

If we have lopsided number of teams, the last to sign up will probably have to play a play-in game or something.

[Bread]

Count me in.

[Turd]

Awesome, this brings us to 12 guys...it'd be cool to get 4 more...

[Turd]
