Dabullz.com August 2009 NBA 2k9 Tournament SIgn Up

[??? ??????]

When?: Starts August 16th

Where: Dabullz.com, The Bulls Podcasters Forum, and XBOX Live

The tournament can be up to 16 people, and it will be on XBOX Live. The tournament will be double elimination.

Players will use real teams, rather than a fantasy draft. A "draft" order will be selected randomly once all of the sign ups are final. Participants will pick their teams in this "draft" order. Then the bracket will be set up in a way, where the highest ranked team will play the second highest ranked team, and the lowest ranked team will play the second lowest ranked team. This is to help balance the playing field, as some people will have great teams like the Spurs, while someone else might be forced to be a mediocre team like the Bulls.

As far as I can tell is that the latest living roster update is the rosters from the end of the NBA season, but without injuries in effect.

Participants will have 3 days to complete there games. I'll add you on XBOX Live, so if one person is trying to get a game going, while the other isn't, the person who isn't trying will be eliminated.

Requirements: 20 posts on The Bulls Podcasters Message Board by the tournament start date or a reader of Dabullz.com

Sorry PO3, your idea didn't work, game is DOA. Thanks for the help though. If you post the results, I will be very interested. Will have to wait until the next game comes out.

Yeah, that's fine. You'll have a three day window to get the game in.

I would be all about this too but I didn't not like NBA 2K9.

Some people told me the game got better after the patch, but I didn't give it that long. It was like they took the D out of the game. I remember in one of the few games I played taking Drew Gooden coast to coast for a score. That would have never happened in a previous 2K.

Going into the 10 season I will be giving NBA 2K and NBA Live an equal shot. This hasn't happened since 2003. I'm still leaning toward NBA 2K10, I just hope it's more like 2K8 than 2K9.

I love NBA 2K, I was so disappointed with last years.

I asked weeks ago about someone starting a league or something amongst the fans on here. I see Kush start one and now PO3 and I cannot get involved because of this damn recession. Hope you guys post the results online, competition is good...

Everyone here needs to send in their top eight preferences for teams by Sunday at 2 PM CST, or they're kicked out of the tournament.

Yeah, only for 360.

It's a shame that they haven't networked it for cross console play yet.
