TECMO TEXAS is a 32-player tournament. The plan is to expand the size of the field in future years, but this year we are starting with a manageable field of 32 players.

RULES, MOSTLY TAKEN FROM THE EXPERTS THAT RUN THE GREAT TECMO MADISON TOURNAMENT

FORMAT:
There will be four 8-player double-elimination brackets. The top 2 finishers in each of the four brackets will advance to a SINGLE-ELIMINATION Final 8.

The FINAL 8 will be seeded, with the standard 1 vs 8, 4 vs 5, 3 vs 6, 2 vs 7 bracket format. Seeding determined by the following criteria:
1st factor - Winning % (there will be four 3-0 players in the Final 8, who will make up the top 4 seeds.
2nd factor - Point differential per game (so feel free to run up the score on your friends, whether they be new friends or old friends)
3rd factor - Points scored
4th factor - Highest scoring game
5th - coin flip

THIS IS AN 8 HOUR EVENT.
60 MATCHES WILL BE PLAYED.
ONE CHAMPION WILL EMERGE.

GOOD LUCK GENTLEMEN, AND THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE FIRST ANNUAL TECMO TEXAS TOURNAMENT!
