CG Top Spin Grand Slam!

K_Mosley · Post by **K_Mosley** » Thu Dec 18, 2003 10:41 am

Anyone interested in a Top Spin tournament/tour on Live? I´m envisioning playing at all four Grand Slam venues. We can do this one venue at a time, or play the whole tour. The only draw back of the tour is that the tournaments are all played closely together, so those that keep winning will be playing 2-3 times per week, or so.
 
 We will use existing male tour players - no "pumped up" created players.
 
 If you´re interested, please let me know whether you want to do one tournament at a time or the whole tour, and leave your gamertag so I can invite you to the competition when I set it up.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Kevin

 PS - Forgive my "pimping," but we just posted our end-of-year gaming awards at Calvert Games, in case you might want to check it out... [ This message was edited by: K_Mosley on 18-12-2003 20:10 ]

Hey James,
 
 Feelin´ good after your first big win over the Truth, eh?! <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif"> He kicked my tail, so I imagine you must have some "game," and will be a definite contender in our little tournament/tour!
 
 I´ll send you an invitation when I set it up...
 
 Thanks,
 
 Kevin

I´m in! Doesn´t matter to me how we play it.
 
 James, 0-2 using the men. You just remember that. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif">

LOL!
 
 Yeah, BTK beats me using the men, that´s for sure. I think I got lucky in the women´s tournament.
 
 Unlike a few other DSP´ers... I really enjoy this game, flaws and all, win or lose. Something about it is just "fun".

I agree 100%, James...
 
 And, it looks like the #1 seed just signed up! I´ll send you an invite, "Truth."

LOL, Cocoman! I did have a rather improbable comeback... just lucky, maybe?!
 
 Now that you know my "secret," I´m in trouble!
 
 I´ll put you on the list...
 
 Take Care,

Any other takers? I plan on setting this up on Monday, so if you´re interested, please reply before then.
 
 Thanks,

Great! It should be a blast, gentlemen...
 
 Marino, (is that you, Dean?), what is your gamertag, just to be sure...
 
 Thanks,

Great, guys! I´ll finalize this thing tomorrow...
 
 Take Care,

Ok guys... We had 10 total people interested (counting me). The Tour requires either 8 or 16 players. I set it up for 8, and the first 7 to sign up are in. If we get more players, then I can re-set up the competition if need be.
 
 I sent the invitations out. Tealboy03, I must not have your gamertag, because I couldn´t send you the message. Here is the information, anyway:
 
 http://www.xsnsports.com/Topspin/Group/?tgid=2071
 
 Competition Name: CG Grand Slam
 Password: 12799114
 
 No created players, no risk shots (except serves), male tour players only. Let me know if you have any questions.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Kevin

I am registered.

Hey Guys,
 
 We need one more player! If you haven´t signed up yet, and you´re interested, please do so ASAP. We´re set to start tomorrow...
 
 Thanks,
 
 Kevin

What the heck I will give it a shot.

K_Mosley · Post by **K_Mosley** » Mon Dec 29, 2003 6:37 pm

Cool, Brent! The fun starts tomorrow!
 
 Kevin

K_Mosley · Post by **K_Mosley** » Mon Dec 29, 2003 11:08 pm

Brent bowed out because we weren´t using created players. This is the last call, or I believe we lose the tournament.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Kevin

Well, it looks like our tour got cancelled. I didn´t extend the deadline, because I felt like I was beating a dead horse, so to speak, with this thread. I´ll try to set up an individual tournament next year (haha), and post the invitation in this forum. Thanks to all those that signed up, and hopefully we´ll get it going next week!
