ice hockey (nes) tournament

ok so i know nhl94 is the hockey game, and i might be speaking blasphemy here but, i thought it would be a fun change of pace to host a tournment for ice hockey on the nintendo entertainment system.

Depending on the amount of people intrested i will either do a best of 3 series set up or double elimination set up.

there are 6 teams to choose from in the game.

USA

Sweeden

Poland

Canada

USSR

Czech Republic

Rules: Speed will be on setting 3, and time 7

so the first 6 to sign up get in the tourny. unless we can get 12 people in on this, witch i doubt, then we would do 2 different 6 team double elimination brackets and the champ of each bracket would face each other.

as far as emulators go, i think the simplest nintendo emulator for online play would probaly be Jnes, but if the 2 parties playing agree to a use a different emulator, all the power to you. and for the rom, when we get everything set up i will post a rom for us to all use. you can download Jnes at this link

so if your intrested post your AIM screenname and the team you want, you can only double pick a team if every team has been picked once. hopefully we can get this going by the weekend. If anybody has any suggestions/comments they are welcomed.

ok so we got 6 so far. shaftman looks like you'll get czech republic (not that it matters),and that will decide bracket 'a'. we'll see how many more people say there intrested, if we can get 6 more we'll lump them into a 'b' bracket and get this thing started. if we cant get 6 more, we'll either just play everyone in one bracket and figure it out as we go. hows this sound? any suggestions?

yea i figured that, but i thought id be nice if you could stay your team through out the playoffs, if we have 8 players and 6 teams, what are we gonna do about duplicate teams? could just pick a different team for the time being, but, it just seems... i donno.. wrong.

ok so we got 8 and thats where its gonna have to stay. i jumbled all of us in the same randomizer jesus used for his league to determine seeding. it turned out like this

1 Houlanov

2 shaftman

3 habs

4 donnybrook

5 vocally caged

6 jesus

7 Freydey

8 RWD iceguy

heres the bracket: it is double elimination, that means, you lose twice and your out. pretty simple.

**bracket moved to first post**

as far as teams go, it doesnt matter, just pick who ever you want for that game. i wanted to keep teams but that doesnt seem possiable at this point.

so thats pretty much it, play the games, post the scores here and ill update the bracket every night. have fun!

Can I propose that we use Nestopia instead? It also has Kaliera like Gens and we could find servers that can come in handy for the games.

i use nestopia from time to time, it does look better than jnes but nestopia has a tendency to crash in netplay. but it really doesnt matter, there both easy to use and download. it just depends on what emulator you and your opponent deicide on.

OH MAN! Seems like I missed out on this, wish I caught this thread earlier. Would of been really refreshing to play another old school hockey game online.

Let me know if there's another because I definetly want in.

i have a feeling someones gonna wind up dropping out. if so you can take the spot.

(save the playoff tree image as PNG or GIF so it doesn't keep degrading and getting blurrier...)

thanks for the tip, ill fix it next time i update
