PS3 Weekly Tourney

[guava9]

Since I haven't seen a thread for this weeks tourney, I guess I'll start it up.

Last week we had 8 guys. BoiseCowboy won and I think he decided to name it Boise's Night or something.

Anyway, we need at least 8 guys. 16 would work too. So if you're interested, leave your PSN.

[Dallas4lr]

Count me in,



PSN DallasNY

[BoiseCowboys]

Yep, Suntzu had to "retire" so there hasn't been much talk about keeping it. But, I will gladly defend my title!!! So count me in for round 2. BTW, are we going to have it the same time? If so, we would play it tonight at 7pm est.

[bockaemonkae]

im in...................

[guava9]

I'd like to do it tonight at 7 est

So post what time you'll be free. Hopefully tonight, if not, tomorrow.

[guava9]

So far:

DallasNY
Bockaemonkae
BoiseCowboys
JPH328

[bockaemonkae]

7............ ill get somemore peeps

[Allstarballer5]

[bockaemonkae]

11pm..............

u wanna play in 45 mins bosh

[lions67]

1 or 2 am for ya bish.
why dont you guys ever play these tourneys on a sunday night?

[guava9]

Well, we could move the day if a lot of people can't make it.

[lions67]

if u move it to a sunday, ill play in it.
JPH...that was you who kicked me up and down the feild in the SFL game the other day...lol

[guava9]

So far:

DallasNY
Bockaemonkae
BoiseCowboys
JPH328
TheManKnownAsX (maybe)
lions67 (if moved to Sunday)
Bish-Bosh (i'm not sure)

[guava9]

bump.....
still need at least a few more players

[Dallas4lr]

hmmmm,


I'll check back to see if this flys, lions or bockae I'm on if your up for a league game.

[tretcharuss]

I am interested. My PSN is my handle.

[guava9]

Would everybody be able to play on Sunday night?
If not, we could go next week sometime.

Updated List:
DallasNY
Bockaemonkae
BoiseCowboys
JPH328
Tretcharuss
JDOGG24
TheManKnownAsX (maybe)
lions67 (if moved to Sunday)
Bish-Bosh (i'm not sure)

[JDOGG24]

ANY NIGHT if fine w/ me

Brahman187

[JDOGG24]

any night IS fine w/ me

[tretcharuss]

Sunday Night is perfect for me

[lions67]

sundays are great, just like real life. gotta wait till sunday for the big games!.lol

[PS3=CHE]

If it's sunday count me in too!!!! Then since this would be a damn near SFL tourney we all can play a league game against eachother as well

[guava9]

Hopefully we can turn this into a weekly Sunday thing.
Do guys want to be able to use created players? And what does everyone prefer for quarter length and difficulty.

So far I have this for seeds. (based off of last weeks tourney)

1. BoiseCowboy
2. JPH328
3. TheManKnownAsX
4. Dallas NY
Those 4 guys will play someone that wasn't in last week.
5-8. bockaemonkae, Tretcharuss, JDOGG24, lions67

If we can get 8 more guys, we can expand this weeks tourney to 16. So if anyone else is interested, leave your PSN.

I'll probably be sending everyone a message with the league password tomorrow

[guava9]

Since Che is in, lets get 7 more guys and make it a 16 team tournament

[lions67]

add bish. im sure a sunday game is easier for him too.
i think.

[guava9]

OK, so 6 more guys.

Another thing (thank suntzu for this, i think; god rest his 2k8 soul) if you win you get to choose what the next week's tournament will be named. I believe BoiseCowboy chose Boise's Night for this one.

[lions67]

yes he did.
next week, its gonna be called the lionsden.......lol.

[Dallas4lr]

Hmmmm,

You guys make me a 4th seed, haaaaa. I'm going to have to play like return of the jedi this weekend. And I wont have no first round matchup with Suntzu!!!!!!!

[bockaemonkae]

WOW IM 5-8 seed


ive beat eveyone in the top 4 lol

[BoiseCowboys]

doesnt matter who you've beaten!!! I've basically beaten everyone in the top 20, but lose to guys in the 1000's!!! Hey, maybe i'll play this tourney with my Boise State team... If you guys want created players...

[tretcharuss]

doesnt matter who you've beaten!!! I've basically beaten everyone in the top 20, but lose to guys in the 1000's!!! Hey, maybe i'll play this tourney with my Boise State team... If you guys want created players...

This is so true! Anyone can beat anyone at any given time. This is why I love this game. It is very realistic, just like real football. Great idea Guava for starting this weekly tourney thing.

[bockaemonkae]

take it easy boise im just saying

[guava9]

Suntzu came up with the whole idea, I'm just feeding off of it.

bockaemonkae, like I said, the rankings are based off who was in last weeks tourney. Boise beat me in the 'ship so he gets 1 and I get 2. X lost to Boise in the final 4 so he gets 3 and DallasNY lost in the first round so he gets 4.

Do you guys wanna be able to use created players? My take is this, as long as they are reasonable size, weight etc.. (realistic) its fine with me.

[bockaemonkae]

lucky achievement getters


500 post

triple woohoo


woohoo wooohooo whooohoo

[Bish-Bosh]

Id like to enter with my Miami Sharks but being UK based. time difference rules me out..real shame.

[Allstarballer5]

I'm game for it on Sunday because I don't have football practice on Sundays so that will be perfect for me.

[Dallas4lr]

Well,

I will using my numero uno squad this week, and no one, and I mean no one has played them yet. Been running scrimmages with the legends and other good teams in the game. No created players, all legit.

Be scared of the "Bronx Biohazards"!!!!!

I think everyone should be able to have 1 created player on their team(IF they want to).I will be creating myself as a CB so yea.

[BoiseCowboys]

I would like to use ALL created players. My Boise State team from last year's Fiesta Bowl. All of their heights and weights will be realistic. That should put me at a disadvantage since they're all smaller than NFL players!!! And I get less attributes. I just want to try them out against someone...

[Bish-Bosh]

All my Sharks are created. Lavay, Beamen, Kelly, Washington..all true to life, the other guys I created, biggest is 6-2 and 240lbs and hes a LB. NO 7ft monsters or anything here. Bockaemonkae has played against them, he'll confirm the UNI was spot on and they were all legitimate sizes.

[guava9]

I don't have a problem with the Boise State or Sharks team. Maybe I'll have to use the Iowa Hawkeye team from the year they beat LSU in the capital one bowl.

Nope, bockaemonkae, not you.

[Bish-Bosh]

bockae, am at work at the moment, will be on in a couple of hrs after Ive seen the kids, taken the dog out etc etc.

[lions67]

well, if we are gonna use created teams and players, then ill put my cfl team to the test against these college teams and the like.
we are doing this on sunday now right?

[guava9]

Sunday night, yes.

Now, I think we need 5 more players to make this a 16 team tournament. If we don't get that, we'll have to take the first 8 who signed up.

[semyname]

well, if we are gonna use created teams and players, then ill put my cfl team to the test against these college teams and the like.

we only need one more...

[bockaemonkae]

yep thats a tight list

[bockaemonkae]

kronos262?

[guava9]

OK, we still need one more. I sent an invitation to everyone.

I'm goin out of town in a few minutes and I won't be home until early Sunday morning. I'm brining my ps3 but I don't think the place has internet access so I probably won't be getting online.

Anyways, for now I have the settings set at 5 minutes, injuries off, created players on, and the difficulty at Legend. I'd be glad to change any of those if anyone isn't happy with them.

If someone happens to accept the invitation in the next 5 minutes I'll put them as an admin. so they can boot someone if they want to change their team or anything like that since I won't be here later today or tomorrow.

[tretcharuss]

Invite Airtime226, he is a good sim player.

[bockaemonkae]

hey wanna play now

[guava9]

I'll do that. So I guess we are full. Now what time do we want to start this thing at on Sunday?

[tretcharuss]

It will have to be after SFL Today which begins at 12 EST. How about 1 EST?

[bockaemonkae]

SFL? u mean tonight if so i cant

[tretcharuss]

SFL? u mean tonight if so i cant

No, SFL Today is on Sunday.

[semyname]

guava, have you set a time to begin the tourney? also take into consideration everyone's time zone.

i'm in the eastern time zone.

[bockaemonkae]

ditto..............

[Dblock1111]

double ditto

[Allstarballer5]

CST for me.

[BoiseCowboys]

I have a fantasy football draft at 2pm eastern...

[PS3=CHE]

I gotta babysit my nephews from 330-630 pm CST.....but I will be @ SFL today at 11 am cst.....war room!!

[semyname]

what is sfl?

[lions67]

im CST as well.
16 guys, gonna be a long tourney, if i may suggest starting it early in the afternoon so it ends in the evening.
just a suggestion of course and whatever time you do pick will be fine with me.

[semyname]

i agree with lions, but let's get a time by tonight, PLEASE!!! i'm headed out with my girl tonight and i need to know what time i gotta leave her house to get well rested so i wont get kicked out 1st round.

[lkrsfn5]

hey when this tourny starting? i heard 7 pm est is that the time

[guava9]

I am very sorry guys. I was expecting to be home at noon today but I got held up and just got home about 5 minutes ago. I didn't have internet access, so I wasn't able to keep everyone up to date.

I was thinking about starting between 7 and 8 central. I understand if some people won't be there. If thats the case, people that are available can play tonight and those that aren't can play tomorrow, whatever everyone else wants to do.

Does anybody have any problems with the time?

[guava9]

I just checked and we only have 10 guys who have accpeted the invitation...:think:

[Dallas4lr]

16 was way too many, you will never get that many people to show unless they have money on the wood.

[guava9]

16 was way too many, you will never get that many people to show unless they have money on the wood.

Yeah, I agree.

So, would 8 guys like to do one tonight in about an hour or so?

[bockaemonkae]

sorry guava i have to go see my grandparents.................. i know a little short notice

[TruSimGamer]

i never received the invitation to the tourney.

[Dallas4lr]

Lets see who shows I'm ready

[guava9]

There's only 10 guys and I'm not sure you can go into the lobby until everyone has joined

[tretcharuss]

Where do we go to meet?

[tretcharuss]

I will go to the lobby now then.

[tretcharuss]

The schedule needs to be generated.

[tretcharuss]

Maybe we should postpone it. There needs to be six more users to join.

[Dallas4lr]

No lets go with 8 tonight

Mrx already said he couldnt make it so drop one more and lets roll

[guava9]

^^^^ Yeah, like Dallas said, 16 is probably too much. I'll start a new one and we'll have 8 guys.

[tretcharuss]

ok sounds good, just let us know when you do so we can be ready.

[guava9]

I'll start up a new tournament and as of right now there are 3 (4 if you count TruSimGamer) who seem interested.

[Dallas4lr]

So freakin funny,


All these guys lobby for a sunday torney and almost none of them show up!!!!!

[tretcharuss]

alright, i will be on the look out.

[tretcharuss]

So freakin funny,


All these guys lobby for a sunday torney and almost none of them show up!!!!!

I think most people thought it was called off.

[Dallas4lr]

hmmm.


Are we playing tonight or rescheduling?

[guava9]

If we can get 5 more guys, I'd be happy to do it tonight.

If not, we can do it later in the week. But from now on, 8 team tournament; The 2 who played in the championship and the first 6 to sign up.

[Dallas4lr]

did you send out new invites, I dont have one

[tretcharuss]

Things like this take planning. People should know the time a week in advance, b/c if not no one will show up. I am leaving on Wednesday, and I wont be able to play until a week from today.

[guava9]

no, not yet

I wanna make sure we have 8 guys that are gonna be there

[guava9]

You're right. But still, you can't count on 16 people showing up for a video game tournament all at once. I feel like a **** because I wasn't here on Friday and Saturday to give everyone a time. But still, a lot of guys didn't read the last post where I said I was gonna be gone, and therefore they just kinda gave up when they realized I wasn't around to answer what time today.

[lions67]

i was around all day.
cant make it this evening but could be back to play around 11pm cst. time.
let me know

[lions67]

and yes, you CAN get 16 guys to all be there at once.
if you can schedule it for socom, you can schedule it for APF.
so there, it is doable.
but we do need to have a time set so we all know when to get in there.

[tretcharuss]

I understand, I am not trying to disrespect you in any way, I know that we are all busy adults, and have more important things going on in our lives. I just think that as a rule of thumb we should try to plan a week ahead of time. And even then some people don't show up.:confused:

[tretcharuss]

11 CST works for me.

[Allstarballer5]

Socom is a lot easier to do it with than a football game. Most of the time there aren't 16 people online in the lobby so it would be tough to get 16 committed people to show up on time. 11 CST doesn't work for me because I have football practice early tomorrow morning(8a.m. CST).

[lions67]

^ now THATS the way it should be done. do it that way and even if some one doesnt show, you know it can be filled quick on the day.

[soonersam]

Unrelated but thats late for football practice, try 7 a.m. central.

[semyname]

i was askin TheManKnownAsX what the time was gonna be he told me he thought 7. so i was here at 6, 7, 8. we still had folks missing when i checked. so i do agree with an 8 ppl tourney. i'm down.

[Allstarballer5]

Unrelated but thats late for football practice, try 7 a.m. central.
If I had practice that early I don't know if I would play.

[soonersam]

I wish it would stay that way because it moves to 2 pm Tue, "to get us ready for after school practice". The high where I live Tue is a cool 102 warming up to 104 before the week is over. What a joy football is.

[semyname]

also to "TheManKnownAsX"

how you gonna give me a neutral- exploits. that's crazy man! i caught on to your D in the last 3 minuts of the 4th quarter. you kept blitzing your OLB and left my RB wide open. i saw it and took advantage of it. i was exploiting your defense, not the game, if that's what you meant.

and if it was about the two onside kicks i recovered that was luck, man. i nvr get them. you were up by like 21, you expect me to not try to make a comeback?

it's all good though. i was just a lil bummed when i got a neutral from you and gave you a positive. see ya when i see ya!

[BoiseCowboys]

Sorry guys, my Sundays are unpredictable. I had a fantasy football draft at my house all day today and forgot all about it. I don't know whats going on during my Sundays. So you can take me out of the tourney since there is a 50/50 chance I won't make it.

[trueshotcaller]

my sig is 'trueshotcaller' and I'm interested in any PS3 tourneys you guys put together... so please add my name to the list and let me know when you have them - thanks!
