While we don't have enough people to run the tourney as I originally wanted, we have enough to run it. Anyone who signs up after this will be a reserve.

[dougal4chaos]

i thought id already signed up, add me as a reserve then

[Serreski]

I'm enjoying this excellent tournament but what is the point of the first category where nobody gets eliminated?

[sempaispellcheck]

Unfortunately, we don't have enough players to eliminate people in every round and still have even groups.

[musicalmaven]

this is to inform you that i won game 10442323 - fin. 18 vs, 27

[sempaispellcheck]

Just so you guys know (probably should have made this clear in the beginning) - I check the games regularly, so while I appreciate your keeping me up to date, I've got it all under control.

[musicalmaven]

this is to inform you that i won game # 10442315 against harvmax (fin. 13 vs. 18).

[sempaispellcheck]

Round 1 is now complete. I will hopefully be able to create groups for Round 2 and send out games some time tomorrow.

In the future, please let me know (preferably by PM) when you have finished ALL of your games for a given round. Thank you.

[sempaispellcheck]

Kudos to our 2 giant-killers, General Bax and Serreski, for handing fbonsignori and swoopy00091, the only players to make it through Round 1 undefeated, their first loss of the tourney!

Thanks for giving the rest of us a chance!
And, of course, for making the tourney that much more interesting.

[musicalmaven]

this is to inform you that i won game # 10497182 against xigamafud (science 18 vs. 30).

[sempaispellcheck]

Just to let you guys know (for any of you who are getting nervous) -

We are still waiting on 1 Round 2 match - benfinan v. harvmax - which is in Round 24 and still going strong. In fact, it may well break the current record of 40 rounds shared by crazycolin and spartacus65.

Do you guys think I should I put in a round limit for future rounds? If so, how many rounds?

[sempaispellcheck]

Now that benfinan and harvmax have finished their epic battle (though not epic enough to set the record for longest game of the tournament), Round 2 has come to a close, and the first 5 players have been eliminated.

Groups will be randomized and Round 3 invites sent out later tonight (hopefully).

[sempaispellcheck]

As Round 3 comes to a close, we bid goodbye to another 5 players. The field has now been cut to 20.
Round 4 matchups will be sent out later tonight. Good luck to all!!
