MUTHead-Sponsored "Pure Theme Team" Tournament! XBox Next Gen! Win an Autographed Helmet + Much More!
Is your pure theme team the best? Are you a demon in these MUT streets? Do you play on XBox Series X or XBox Series S? Then this post, gentlemen, is for you...
JCSteel, rka7731, and Nick Mizesko are here to put on a single-elimination MUT tournament on next gen XBox, with games streamed on Twitch. We have 16 spots for the tournament. The rules are as follows:
Pure Theme Teams Only
You can only use players who actually play or played for your specific theme team. So, for example, Kam Chancellor could only play for a Seattle Seahawks theme team (even though, in MUT, he can get any team chemistry). Similarly, Luke Kuechly can only suit up for a Carolina Panthers theme team. There are some cards that don't have the ability to alter team chemistry (non-Power Up or Veteran cards), and if that player played for a different team, you can still use that player. For example, the 88 OVR Team of the Week K Matthew Wright comes with only Jacksonville Jaguars team chemistry, but he has also played for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Accordingly, he could be used for a Jaguars or Steelers theme team.
As an example, here's the team I plan to use in this tournament:
Please let me know if you have any questions about this rule.
Fair Play
I've used these rules in prior tournaments, and they work well: (1) you may not go for it on 4th-and-5 or longer before the fourth quarter (outside of fake punts/field goals), (2) you must quit out if your opponent 21-skunks you, and (3) you may not use the Avalanche Elite X-Factor on Kam Chancellor or the Bo Knows X-Factor on Bo Jackson.
Once you're matched up with someone, you have about 24 hours to arrange to play. You must report your scores to me and post them on this thread (with a nice summary of the game if you can).
Games To Be Streamed on Twitch
For maximum visibility and for fun, we would like the games to be streamed on Twitch. No need for face cameras or other stuff, and we'll make allowances if necessary, but ideally folks will be able to watch the games if they'd like to do so. This will be discussed more once we have a bracket.
I will maintain the bracket on https://challonge.com/, with players letting me know the scores so that I can input them.
Prizes!!!
My main man Nick Mizesko is contributing an amazing prize for the ultimate winner, a replica helmet signed by New York Giants legend Michael Strahan! The helmet comes with an authentic signature and certification. Another awesome fella, rka7731, is contributing LTD 96 OVR Zero Chill HB Ricky Williams to the prize pool. I will be putting up both of the Backyard Ballers Diggs brothers, 97 OVR CB Stefon Diggs and 97 OVR WR Trevon Diggs, as well as a whopping 40 MHC. Here's the prizes:
1st Place -- Signed Helmet (Michael Strahan), 20 MHC 2nd Place -- Both Backyard Ballers Diggs Brothers (97 OVR each), 15 MHC 3rd Place -- LTD 96 OVR HB Ricky Williams, 5 MHC (the losers of the semi-final games will play for 3rd place)
So, with my Steelers in the mix, we need 15 pure theme team slingers out here! Who's up for it? Let's end this MUT season with a big 'ole BANG!
