Hello everyone. I'm sponsoring a tournament where each of the players will represent a team in the NFL. Out of 32 teams, 7 have yet to be picked. I'd prefer that those who particpate are fans of the NFL, if not of the teams that are left, but at this point I can't be choosy. So anyone who is looking for a good tournament to get into is also welcome. Just know that the tournament is completely open, and groups are not random; they're based on the NFL divisions. So there will be some lopsided matchups. Anyway, the remaining teams are listed below:
AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills
AFC SOUTH
Tennessee Titans
AFC WEST
Denver Broncos
NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers
NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals
St. Louis Rams[/b]
And then there were 3.
I really don't care who gets these last 3 teams. I could care less if you've never even heard of the NFL. I don't care if you think a quarterback is a refund. If you're looking for a tournament to enter, just pick a team and PM me.
AFC SOUTH
Tennessee Titans
NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers[/b]

Okay, I'm just going through the names I have right now to make sure I have all the correct spellings, and there's one name that I don't have right. And he seems to have deleted his PM from his Sent box, because I don't have it anymore. The name I have is MikeOldehoff, which is wrong; I've tried variations of the name, but can't come up with a match. If anyone knows what his user name is supposed to be, or the user himself reads this, please let me know.
The Turkey is really embarassed about this. He feels like, well, a turkey.

Okay, the last team has been picked. The field is set. I should've asked everyone to include this piece of information when they PM'ed with their team selection, but how does everyone feel about time controls? Unless I hear a significant clammoring for anything different, my thought was to go with the usual 3/7 time control. If anyone would like anything different, PM me.
Alright everyone, thanks for your support. I've sent the roster in to Russ; hopefully it won't take him long to create the tournament. I've asked him to include the team names alongside the players' names, but if he doesn't do it, you'll just have to let your opponents know what team you're representing.
The rules, in case anyone has missed it: There are 8 groups, configured just the same as the NFL's 8 divisions. Each player will play 2 games against every other player in his group, just like in a normal tournament. After the first round, the winners of each group, the "division champions", will go to the "playoffs". The AFC division winners will play in one group, the NFC division champions in another. The winners of these two groups will go to the "Super Bowl" and play each other. Good luck to everyone!
