don't the jets & giants play (and offices reside)in New jersey and only use the name New York because its a bigger media market? I mean I know they used to play in New York, but the Dodgers USED to play in Brooklyn. Buffalo Bills still play in NY though NY State (as do the Islanders since Long Island isnt NYC either) =P

Hey everybody! I'm going to put this tournament on hold for now...RedBaron0 and I are making it into a larger, multiple-city tournament with a similar format to this one. The tournament isn't canceled, it's just being expanded, so as soon as we have the details ironed out and the new thread posted I'll pm all of the current participants asking for re-enrollment. Sorry for the delay!
Thanks,
gameplayer

I saw the tournament, and said, "great idea!" but... New York sucks, and I refuse to play unless given the chance to play for my prefered PHILADELPHIA team.

Still ironing some stuff out, but the rules will be the same, couple different maps, several cities probably culminating in a bracket of games between the winners between the cities for ulitmate bragging rights!
