4th annual NES Tecmo Bowl & R.B.I. Baseball tournament

[Omaha Cy]

Join us Saturday March 30th in Omaha for a day long celebration of classic Nintendo sports games at Bigway Burger. (72nd street/Ralston)

Each tournament starts with a 3 game opening round, and those results are used to seed the bracket. Tourney format ensures everyone plays in numerous games regardless of experience or skill level. Everyone is welcome to partake in a warm up game before the event begins.

Tecmo Bowl starts at noon, and R.B.I. at 6PM. $20 gets you into either tourney, or enter both for $30. Military ID gets $5 off either price. 100% of the fees collected go to payouts for the top 5 players in each tournament. The tournament is capped with the top 24 players from the opening round.
Adding to the gaming experience, players eliminated in the round of 16 may continue on with additional games to place 9th through 16th. Players eliminated in the round of 8 continue on for 5th place winnings.

In addition to playing for money and bragging rights, these trophies will go to 1st place in each event.





Our 2018 event had nearly 30 competitors with players from 5 different states. CO, NE, KS, IA, IL. Looking like we'll be adding players from an additional state or 2 this year, and might have 2 Candians from the Toronto area making a return trip as well.

We'll have nearly 15 systems and HDTVs on hand to accommodate the turnout, and keep us on schedule with the format of the tourney. With that amount of equipment, it virtually guarantees nobody is waiting to play. The most we've had for a tournament was 20 players. Typically turnout is in the 16-20 range for both games.

We use HDMI output NES clone systems with 720 resolution made by "Hyperkin" and "Retro USB". See info below.
