Mike VanDerGoore is the successor to the founders of one of the longest-running #tabletopfootball tournaments: The MDOR Strat-O-Matic Football league based in Bloomington, Illinois.

Mike shares the MDOR's founding, history, methods and future. Renowned SOM Footballer Mike Kane has dutifully kept the tournament's records for 25 years.

MDOR is named for late tournament founders/directors Ron Dickinson and Ron Brammer — otherwise known as Mad Dog and Oregon Ron. The annual MDOR event traces its lineage back to the Lyman Bostock tournament that ran from the 1970s to circa 2000.
