My favorite pairing that isn't an official tag team is Arizona Chance and Slashmaster as The Blockbusters. I've always fancied Arizona Chance and Reptile Ranger as "Thrill Seekers". |

I like you guys.
As a result, I'll be doing two tournaments in 1981. Another A1 Pinnacle, and a tag team tournament. I'm not sure how I'll do it yet, but I'll let you know when I make some decisions.

This is phenomenal. Like, A.J. Styles level phenomenal.
I love the idea of the tag team tourney— my pick to win it all is The Adventurers (see forum name), but I’m sure the Mega Dudes are going to be huge favorites going in.
Have you decided yet how your singles 1981 tourney entrants will be decided?

Have you decided yet how your singles 1981 tourney entrants will be decided? I haven't -- I initially thought I had, but now I'm going to mix it up a bit. Now that I know my phone is holding up a bit, I want to get started on this sooner than later. I know when I upgrade, I'm going to lose all my in-game progress. So if I'm going to do this, I better do it soon. I expect I will allow the mid-card guys to focus on the tag team tourney, while the upper card folks will be in the A1 itself. I will be making decisions sooner than later. |

Disregard. This will be the setup. In year 2 (1981), we will have the same four pool format. This time, there will only be 24 contestants. Here they are: Ace Arcadium - 12 points
Average Guy - 14 points
BuZZsaW - 12 points
Chameleon Kid
Dark Invader - 8 points
Dr. B - 8 points
Dude Brohan - 12 points
Enormous Pierre - 14 points
Exotic Rick - 6 points
Haka Tonga
Jet Set Strutter - 14 points
Juan Tijuana
Keith Blood
Lazer - 10 points
Mad Arab - 6 points
Mr. Tycoon - 10 points
Ninja Star - 7 points
O'Hooligan - 10 points
Pelvis Pressley
Reptile Ranger - 8 points
Skullgore
Slashmaster - 10 points
The Annihilator - 6 points
Valedictorian - 7 points In the Tag Team Tournament, there will be 24 teams, four pools of six. Here is what I decided: 8-Bit - Zen & Max Attack!(80's)
All-Pros - Bobby Blitzworth & Slammer Johnson
American Heroes - Dangerzone & Warhawk
Anti-Americans - Brit Buckingham & Hammerhead
B-Boys - Zap & Boombox
Conquer & Command - Iron Mask & Copper Commander
Dungeon Masters - He-Beast the Barbarian & Dungeon Crawler
Ghoul & Goblin - Goblinknight & Zombie Punk
Gramercy Riffs - Soul Daddy & Johnny Kobra(80's)
Howl & Roar - Mighty Leo & Michael T. Wolf
Insectoids - Mike Bugg & Mark Bugg
Metalheads - Cesar Sleaze & Dizzy Lixx(80's)
Mullet Cousins - Cletus Mullet & Zeke Mullet
Muscle Men - Magnus Muscle(80's) & Pat Cabbage
Neanderthals - The Piranha & Troglo
Neon Express - Chet Skye & Jessie Wild(80's)
Nerd Alert - Herman the Nerd & Waldo the Dweeb
Slave Drivers - Big Thuggee & Lil Thuggee
Stunt Men - Crash & Rad Racer
Supernova - Starboy & Moon Man(Specimen)
The Adventurers - Arizona Chance & Red Pirate Rogers
The Executers - Mercenary(80's) & Spazz
The Gladiators - Brute & Massacre
Van Winkles - Devin Van Winkle & Terry Van Winkle It's worth noting that Troglo did qualify for the singles tournament, but decided he had a better chance of winning the tag tournament. Also, Yuppie VP/Papa Chopper were furious they were overlooked in the singles tourney. Yuppie thought he and Tycoon were in, but Tycoon believes his stock will be higher if he can have another strong tournament. As for PC, he lost a coinflip to Keith Blood for the final spot. He has been promised a spot in the 1982 tourney, but he is still furious. Pools for each tournament will be announced soon. |

Note: these were done randomly. Tag-wise, nothing jumps out to me as too ridiculous. On the singles side, that D Block is brutal. While Average Guy appears to have a cakewalk to the final four, Slashmaster and Dr. B just have to get by each other. Block C has the biggest feud of all-time, while Block D has five guys who could win it all, and Skullgore. Good luck to him. I'll be trying to plan out the schedules later this week to make the final matches of the tournament more meaningful. |

Initial thoughts:
Go Skullgore!
If Average Guy wins two tourneys in a row, it will be Hard Times for everyone else.
Tag team division is wide open, with the Mega Dudes, Buzzsaw and Lazer, and your top teams all competing as individuals.
Question— do the tag teams compete with their flavor card? For example, The Adventurers get a +2 push with theirs, while the Neon Express gets a +4 push with their card— that could really reward tag team specialists as opposed to two top individuals.

Never underestimate the Mad Arab. I've had him hold onto titles for incomprehensibly long periods of time.

You bet'cha! In the future, I may have singles guys team up (at a disadvantage) but right now, I'm sticking with actual tags. Numbers will fluctuate with each tournament as well. I may start adding lower tier tourneys and CW tourneys. I just need to make sure the belts are all held by jobbers. |

Good times. I remember when i first started the original 80MW Jobber Joe became my world champ. (Dr. B started with it, and it got lost to progressivly lower guys, (Dr.B,Starboy, I think Keith Blood was next, etc.) GOOD TIMES! |

Ace, any update on how your tourneys are turning out? I saw you were having device issues, so I’m hoping that worked out for you.

Device has been fine. After I posted the schedule, and started reading up on stuff, I've begun reconsidering my plan.
I may even retcon the original tournament. Waiting to see what twelve new characters come out.
