Hey guys, I'm an Enforcer at PAX East, and I've been running a GENS NHL 94 tournament for the last 6 years. The same guy keeps winning, so we need new blood!!!

Current dates for PAX East are tentative! I will be running a whole slate of 16 bit tourneys this year; I will update this thread with specific days and times as the schedule firms up. I'm hoping to have a 2on2 tourney as well, and possibly a 2on2 Mod free play session. (I have an Everdrive, so we can play mods on original hardware)

 

Details:

- Sega Genesis. I might run a SNES tourney this year as well, if I can get enough interest. (Boston is Genesis territory)

- Usually around 32 participants.

- Single elimination. I use Brackalope, so if under 32, a few people get Bys, if over 32, a few people get an extra round.

- Free, just your PAX East Pass

- Prize is gold and bronze medals for first and second place

- Full rules are listed below.

 

Comments, questions, are WELCOME.

Ooooh, I'm gonna put this on my calendar now!  Looking forward to playing the 6x champ!

Damn. My 6 year reign is coming to an end. 

@zippy. do you have results for the previous tournaments somewhere online?

@Zippy Forgive me, I have no idea what this is. Where will this be held? What is PAX East? There are no cash entries/prizes for this event?

In theory, yes... but the Enforcer wiki is poorly-administered, whole sections have disappeared in the past.

I'll take a look later today.

PAX East is an enormous 4 day convention held in Boston every March/April. It focuses on video games (PC, consoles, classic console, VR) and tabletop gaming (Roleplaying, board games, card games, etc. etc.)

I work in the Classic Console department, and we have tournaments every day. The tourneys are free to enter, and yes, there are no cash prizes, only trinket medals.

It's a really good event, I can recommend it to everyone. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask here or PM me.

AWESOME!

Don't forget, though, that buying tickets is difficult, as the event sells out fast. 4 day passes sell out first. I will post here as soon as ticket sales open.

Also... it's a 4 day event, and since the schedule is not yet set, I'm not sure which day the NHL 94 tournament will be held. I will update this thread as soon as I have more info.

Ill probably play again.  Actually lost in the finals last year and in 2014.  The silver medal on the right Of the pic is from last year.  It’s fun but I’m I’ll be mostly at the convention hall and the concerts.

Nice, those are cool medals (and other swag).

Have a good time at PAX and the tourney, let us know how it goes! I guess @crazygoalie33 will be there again.

Speaking with @crazygoalie33at the NYC tournament, he said he lost in the finals to the guy who won the last 3 years.  

@Zippy Are you running any tournaments at PAX East this year? I'm thinking about going.

Noting my interest in this as well.

I bought my ticket for Thursday hoping I will show up and stumble across an NHL 94 tournament. Otherwise, I'll just play in the classic console room by myself lol

If you go here and filter by 'tournament' there's no NHL tournament. But I don't know how accurate/up-to-date it is...

https://east.paxsite.com/en-us/schedule.html

But there's NBA Jam:

 

NBA Jam
Sat, Mar 25, 2023 • 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Location: Console Tourney

GoldenEye 007
Sun, Mar 26, 2023 • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Location: Console Tourney

Maybe push the NBA Jam organizer to do a '94 next year

I'm really hoping it's not up to date. I already told my brother I'll just beat him real quick 1v1 if there's no tournament. The cartridge will be there in the classic console section.

I guess Zippy couldn't make it this year so I just exhi'd my brother two games and went undefeated at PAX East. I guess I'm the champ then lol.
