JRH's American presidents tourney (Winner: HighlanderAttack)

okay, standings updated. There are still 4 games active. So far, 5 people are Wild Cards at 6-3, Frito Bandito still has one active game and if he wins, he joins those 5 at 6-3. He could still win his division though, as his division leader, HA, still has 3 active games, and is currently at 4-2

okay, it worked out well for the bracket (not so much for Frito...), there are about to be 5 Wild Card players that are 6-3 (HA has to finish off Frito in the last active game), and all ties within divisions were broken using head-to-head matchups. I will now break all inter-divisional ties using random.org, and will post the results here. The playoffs will start tonight (Frito has 2 regions, 5 troops left in the last game, it is HA's turn and he gets to deploy 19 troops, so I'm gonna take a really big risk and assume HA will win)

that gives us exactly 16 people (miracles do happen) so there is no controversy about a bunch of play-ins. I will send out the first round games tonight.

The seedings were originally random, everyone but you was 7-2, but that is beside the point

I asked if you wanted me to switch it around so that it was right, you didn't respond, so I took that as a no
