| May 2000 | Tekken Tag Tournament JAP PS2 | Albuquerque, NM | Replay Games | 70+ people | National appeal, 1st CA, 2nd CA, 3rd NM, 4th TX no order CO, AZ, WY, OK, Ect.. | Notes: 1st Jin/Hei JAP PS2 2nd True Ogre/Lei Wu Long cash 3rd Team Korea Jap TTT Comics 4th Eddy/Devil |
This tournament helped set the stage for the first ever TiT (Tournament in Texas), and helped set the pace for national tournament presences beyond the NAMCO national tournaments. Although a JAP PS2 is not such a high prize today in May of 2000 it was highly sought product. Easily going from 700-1500 dollars on E-bay.
This tournament also continues to showcase that California is considered to hold the best players in the United States. California continues to hold their strangle grip of being the nations best in TTT until...?
Also poor Albuquerque New Mexico, we are still trying to win our own tournament when there is a national interest.

| July 2000 | Tekken Tag Tournament | Denton, TX | Tekken In Texas TiT1 / Bowling Alley upper room | 60+ | National interest, 1st - 3rd CA 4th TX 5th/6th CA/? 7/8 NM/ ?. | Notes: 1st -2nd Jin/Hei 1K 3rd Lei/Law 4th Eddy/Devil All cash |
The first Tekken in Texas (Later to be known as Tournament In Texas as the games they host is more then just TTT today, from TiT5 they now include SC2, VF4 ect). First major tournament where American players are introduced to the Korean method of Mishima wave dashing, Tekken will never be the same, raising it to new heights in the technical game playing aspect.
The First TiT Texas players wanted a rematch of the New Mexico tournament Adrian "Eddy Pistons" Vs. Thomas "Tommyhilfigure" Kim, feeling Adrian could win it for Texas. But the two players never met in the bracket and California continued to show their dominance in the Tekken U.S. arena.

| November 2000 | Tekken Tag Tournament | Denton, TX | Tekken In Texas TiT2 / Club House | 120+ | National interest, 1st ATL 2nd- 4th. | Notes: 1st -TO/Ogre 1K |
Over 120 people at this tournament, very exciting. California is expected to win, while allot of people are ready to take there place at the top and show California is no longer where the best play.
Eric "J.O.P" from Atlanta does what everyone else wanted to do but could not, he owns California players, he owns Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado ect ect, Eric Owns the entire tournament. Some call him lucky others talk dynasty only time will tell...
