Great idea, I think I would dig out my old Sega and add NHL '94 into the mix.

We considered it (and I believe it would be a nonathon) but we couldnt really do games that only had 2 players at a time.

It would take forever.

Even the ones with four, we were overlapping just to get done.

ie: as you got knocked out of the poker tourney you went to the darts game once there were three of you.

Same things as backgammon, owl.

It would take too long.

Also, we really tried to come up with events that no one would really have too big of a skill advantage.

Even in bowling or darts, everyone can pretty much hold their own.

Whereas some video games, those that play a ton would have a big advatage.

Additionally, we wanted as many people involved at the same time as possible...

I'm not sure why you'd want them crisp - they get stuck together. I always ask for recirculated bundles - they separate much easier - particularly when getting them for liar's poker. LP would pretty much suck if all the bills were in sequential order...

I once had a one day tourney for $125 each that went like this:

Show up at bar at 10:00 a.m. (they opened early)

Play a pool tourney.
Play a dart tourney.
Play a Golden Tee tourney.

Winners are paid for these, but the order you placed in these events also determined your chip count for the NLHE finale at someones house immediately after.

About a 12 hour affair an it ruled.

Ordering the $1 bills was something we found out at the WSOG-1. So for the 2nd one we ordered. Really just told em to have em for us.

I havent forgot about the pix and the constitution. Will get to it soon.
