Part of the challenge should be playing the game on a smaller and smaller screen as the tournament progresses. Winner takes all on Sears model 12" B&W TV, while lying down on shag carpet.

The other thing to consider, is bandwidth requirements. Tournaments are held in many different types of venues, hotels and conference centers, pubs, businesses and community centers. All of which likely have some form of internet - - but for best results, I would have to assume that a hardline would be best?

I really liked what Tom the Retro Gamer had set-up in Green Bay, did anyone find out what his set-up was? His screen template looked awesome (and custom), would like to know if he designed it himself. I've streamed using Ustream, and it has a nice and easy to navigate interface. The free version is limited, but could easily stream a screencap as well as a camera on the participant(s). Also provides a back-up copy on your PC. I've also streamed using Google Hangouts, which records and saves on Youtube. (link)

Awesome, looking forward to it!

Sorry Brut, I seem to have corrected some of the problem - but a couple series were played even with a less than ideal connection. Unfortunately I am away this weekend, back Monday night - so I will have to pound out the remainder of these games next week/weekend. I'll reach out to all of the guys I've got series with, and work out times to play. Cheers.

Great stuff Raph, you did some great work with graphics and highlights. Thanks for putting this together. You really need to dump the robo-voice and get some NHL94 buds recording the commentary of the finals series.

I'm in Winnipeg this weekend for my daughters swimming meet. Meet you half-way?

It was a beer, and I still owe it to you. You might need to pick it up though. Ko94-Thunder Bay 2025?

Saw this on facebook, very cool. GO LEAFS GO!

If you log back in, it should give you the option to view your bracket. If you cannot view it, it's not entered. (There is an option to "replace" your bracket - do not use it. If you want to tweak your bracket there is an edit button when you are viewing it. The "replace" option will start you from scratch). You can tweak your bracket anytime before puck drop on Wednesday. And yeah, GO LEAFS GO!

Get your brackets in, I would assume that you have until puck drop on April 11th to complete your bracket.

It's that time of year again.. think you can pick the winners in each round? Think you know which series will be an upset? Prove it boi!

Was thinking about it this morning.. I'll get it set-up today or tomorrow.

Just a follow-up.. it looks like the beta-testing is completed, and all should have access to online NHL94 play. The issue I have atm, is that the system requires a particular rom in order to play. Need to find that rom - or perhaps rename my rom so it is recognized. Need to get a few guys on in order to test the lobby/chat functions.

This is no easy task, as players are injured and lines are shuffled all season. Corsica has a line generator that will show you the most frequent line combinations - but you'll still need to patch together the 3rd and 4th lines yourself (as there are a lot of combinations).

I don't think I'm OCD, but when I buy a second hand controller I tear it down, wash all of the plastic bits in soap/water, clean the board (particularly the contact points) with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab, and replace the rubber pads. The one thing that will make some difference IMO, is if you pull apart the directional pad - depending on how much force you put it back together with, your directional inputs will be affected. I've had mixed results, all of my 6-button controllers are playable, but I do favour some over others. Not sure where I read it, but most retro gamers favour the "Made in Japan" controllers over the "Made in China" models.

West coast is always going to be tough. When the tournament was in Vegas, my employer tempted me by having our annual conference in Palm Springs - but still couldn't commit to the travel. This year, Vancouver - and wouldn't you know it, the annual conference is being held in Vancouver Oct 22--25. Amazing.

I voted for the later date (3/19), but will go with whatever is decided.

^^ I'm guilty of this. ^^ It is particularly lethal if your opponent is between the dots (prime scoring area) - you're better off holding, or b-checking - or better yet, grab your goalie!

There are sections for both NHL Hockey ('92) and EA Hockey ('91) which are reportedly the same game.

I think I've got all of the bracket rounds tagged, and many of the RR, and Swiss games. Haven't tackled the Twitch stream - but I'm guessing there is duplication there? Thought I'd share this small moment in the tourney, that I only got to see because of the stream.. this is two veteran SEGA players calling FLA/SJS in their Semifinal match-up [link].
