TUNDRA BOWL V: SUCCESS, INNOVATION, AND THE RECAP
|
|
authored by Nate Smithson
On an unseasonably warm January day, Green Bay, Wisconsin found itself playing host once again to the world's largest Tecmo Super Bowl qualifying tournament. For a fourth year in a row, the number of paid participants broke a Tundra Bowl record. We gave away over $2,000 in cash and prizes, and introduced something never before seen in Tecmo Super Bowl tournaments: The Tundra Bowl RedZone Stream. Over 20,000 people were watching the stream LIVE, and over 380,000 people have been reached, which is insane to think about! The Tecmo Super Bowl community is unlike any other, and I am grateful for the exposure on the various platforms to allow Tundra Bowl V to reach so many people. From start to finish, this year's Tundra Bowl was the biggest and grandest one yet! TBV was a very humbling experience for me personally, and I have to thank our incredible team. Swagz is our graphics guy and tournament official since the first Tundra Bowl. Stephen was brought on starting at TBIV, and his organizational and analytical abilities help tremendously with both the seeding and brackets. I cannot say enough about Jon, Mike T. and Michael C. for their prowess at running the online stream. They turned what was a good online stream in the past, into the best online stream out there. They were largely the ones interacting with the people watching on Twitch and on Facebook while I was running around playing, and directing the tourney. Without this team, Tundra Bowl wouldn't be where it is at today, and where it will be in the future, and TBV was a huge success largely because of their gameday efforts....continue reading the recap HERE.
