The NFL Tournament- Claim your team!

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!

pfft Bears overrated.

Go with the Chargers or even the Saints, but the Bears..?

I don't think this tournaments happening.

Oh well, baseball is on the horizon. NASCAR too. Can I be Jeff Gordan?

Alright folks, really sorry I've been so slow to reply. Been busy with coming home, and the holidays and all that. Anyway, Russ got back to me and said that he would be unable to program the tournament specifically the way that we want him to, with everyone in pre-determined groups according to the division their team plays in. If it's going to be an official RHP tournament, all he can do is put everyone's names in and let the program generate random groups.

So, we have a decision to make. Do we want to go ahead and let Russ create an official tournament, with random groups? Or, do we just want to set this thing up manually? By that I mean, I will post a complete list of players, along with each player's team, and then everyone sets up the games with their opponents manually, by sending them each one challenge as White, one as Black.

Either PM me, or leave your vote in response to this post. Majority rules. Once again, here are the choices:

1. Russ creates the tourney himself, with random groups, so the NFL divisions are ignored.
2. We create the tournament manually, maintaining division integrity.

You haven't let me know if I'm in, but if I am in (as RAMS)

then do it tournament style. Manually will at some point get confusing or corrupt.
It doesn't have to be 100% NFL realistic.

BTW what type tournament (grouped random, knockout...?)

Let Russ create the tournament, Rob. It'll still be fun and won't bog you down with extra work.
