THE RACE TO DEFEND AMERICA [WINNER: wonderbeezz]

[pjdonald]

Congratulations to Wonderbeezz, champion and chief Defender of AMERICA!




Since I wasn't involved when this tourney was begun, I can't edit the first post of the main tourney thread. I think it will be useful to have this place to post updates. I agreed to help out when the original organizer had some scheduling conflicts

Bracket: It's a bit hard to read, but here it is anyway.

If anyone has a more sophisticated/legible way to publish it, I'm all ears.

There are 6 Round 3 games remaining to be started. All 6 have 2 of the 3 participants determined. I'm going to go ahead and send PM's to those 12 (6 x 2) players, and the PM to the final player will go out as soon as it's determined who it is.

Round 1: 18 games complete
Round 2: 6 of 6 winner's bracket games complete
10 of 12 elimination bracket games complete, 2 running
Round 3: 0 of 2 winner's bracket games complete, 1 running, 1 starting up this weekend
1 of 8 elimination bracket games complete, 3 running, 2 more starting up this weekend

I'd love those last 2 Round 2 games to wrap up! XenCobra and astompel are my guesses, but neither has it wrapped up yet.

how come mine has only two players still ....

how come mine has only two players still ....

Yours (and 466966) is waiting on a 3rd player to come out of a Round 2 game that's not yet complete.

You keep an eye on 449434. Winner of that is your 3rd.

Stoney and Forza watch 449429. Winner of that is their 3rd.

[pjdonald]

I'm going out of town until the 16th. The remaining Round 3 games should still be able to start while I'm gone. Don 1 and joker, Timminz will take jedediahmjm's spot tomorrow if jed doesn't join before then.

Stoney and Forza get the winner of dragon dor/astompel/blackholetank. Unfortunately that one may go on a while yet.

neilhouse and red bull get the winner of serkencatal/xen cobra/john1099. That one seems a bit more likely to wrap up soon.

Game 466966 has disappeared. So what will happen? Will you make a new one?

What happened to my game?? There were two of us and we were waiting for a third and now the game has disappeared.

Tournament games disappear after about 15 days if they haven't started yet. Same happened with my game.
I think 2 new games have to be made. When is this going to happen?

[oggiss]

[pjdonald]

these interterminable round 2 games are amazing...

I'll resend the round 3 PM's as applicable when those games finish.

And the bracket isn't quite right; I'll update that later this afternoon.

If anyone who has been eliminated would like to re-enter as a sub/reserve, let me know.

[Neilhouse]

I'd like to be a sub/reserve.

I still have not gotten the pm for this game, unless it was the one that Forza and I joined and the third player never showed up as far as I could tell. What happened? I've been waiting for a pm.

Sorry, that game was re-started on June 19 and finished on July 2. I sent you a PM on June 16 and you didn't respond for several days, so you were replaced.

The most recent pm that I have received is dated "04 Jun 2007 16:50":
"The Race to Defend America Round 3

The 3rd participant is not yet determined. Since you are not premium, if you need to wait to join the game until that is determined, please let me know. "

I joined the game but after many days without a third person the game disappeared. I am not concerned about getting back into the tournament, but there must have been some kind of mistake or glitch that might use some looking in to.

[pjdonald]

I'm sorry Stoney that you got left out. I'm quite sure that I sent you a PM that I watched sit in my outbox for several days. I don't know - maybe I sent it to the wrong person? I either deleted it or it rolled off my message list, so I can't confirm; there is a stoney without the 229, so maybe I goofed that way.

Thanks for understanding.

[Stoney229]

no problem. thank you for your work

[acerun3284]

i won game 542472 in a 40 round battle royal.

[pjdonald]

Both semifinals are now underway.

[pjdonald]

As it should be, I suppose, the last 2 standing are wonderbeezz and wolfmaster. You can watch them duke it out in the finals in Game 711525.

[wonderbeezz]

I won.

Thanks for the exciting torny.
