How to Start a Tournament:

4th Quarter Touchdown Football is a great game for tournament play at Super Bowl parties, football parties, card parties, game clubs, sports bars, etc. The game is designed so that all players have an equal chance of winning, even if players don't know alot about football.

In tournament play you need to make sure that you have an even number of teams to play. Start by printing the "TEAM TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE" from the chart on the right, for the number of teams you have ( 8, 16 or 32). Each schedule also contains a tournament tree. Then add team names into the chart next to the numbers. Follow the schedule, matching the numbers to the numbers beside your teams name. This will show you who you are playing in the first round. The game play is a double round robin, which means that every team is guaranteed to play two games. Then teams play there first game. When the first games are over, the names of the teams that lost are placed on the B tournament tree and names of the teams that won are placed on the A tournament tree.

The example above shows that in Conference A - team 1 vs team 2 and team 3 vs team 4 then the winning teams - team 2 and team 3 play each other. In this example team 3 is the winner. This is repeated in Conference B and when the tree is complete the final winner of the A team plays the final winner of the B team and the tournament Champion is the winner of this final game!
