Each of you has received a pm from me requesting your optional settings for Round 1 Match 1. If each opponent's choice matches, the game will be set using that agreed-on preference, otherwise the settings will revert to the tournament standard:
Seq, foggy, no spoils, chained.
ALL games will be 24-hour turn matches; no speed. We have fremies playing.

The opponents table was pre-randomized by player number, simply waiting names to fill in based on who entered first.

Once settings are finalized, you will receive a pm with your game # and pw from myself or co-organizer, nemrehs1.

[Sun Tzup]

Sun tzup won game 1.

OFf to ... where next? Africa?

[stahrgazer]

2008-11-26 17:23:21 - MrBenn: Are we supposed to feel like we're floating across Europe?

Hahahahahaha

Military balloons... SHOOT!!! Just.. Watch out for returning strafe!

[agile76]

Sorry for the delay.

I'm happy with the standard settings.

[Humrlmo]

Game 3736199

Humrlmo def Darin44

[stahrgazer]

Whoohoo, congrats, Humr! Congrats to all the winners so far!

Those who haven't won yet, you still can

We're now halfway through the R1/M1 games. Each of you should receive a pm telling you who your next balloon race is against, this time in Africa.. gives you a chance to study their play or try to arrange special settings.

We will set up standard tournament settings, but will create a different game for any match where both opponents can concur on alternatives. Reminder: No speed settings for this entire tournament. I know, I know, you heard that till you're nauseous - or did your balloon make a sudden rise and dip? lmao

Match 2 games will not begin until Match 1 is completed.

[stahrgazer]

Congratulations to Match 1 winners, commiserations to those who have not won yet. Remember, you still have a chance... On to Match 2 in a little warmer climate than Europe: Africa

Another round of applause for agile76, who joins the others who won his first two matches. *hugs* to Xx TrustMe xX, who's now been eliminated.

Congratulations to all our winners of Round 1 Match 2 in Africa. For those who've been eliminated, stay tuned for Match 3 results and the "wildcard slots" drawings that will follow; you may end up playing Round 2 after all.

Of those exempt from playing match 3, either from 2 wins or 2 losses, only Darin44 said he'd play a "for fun only" Asia map... any challengers? If so, I'll set up a couple.

[negoeien]

yeah hit me up for just for fun

[stahrgazer]

xerro already bit.. so now, negoeien's seeking.

By the way, there's a duplicate tourney since we had so many "reserves" wanting to play this tourney, just for fun. Anyone want to join that one? It's still seeking two players to make the 16 starters.

[stahrgazer]

Congratulations to the Match 3 winners:
Sackett58, hiitsmestevie1, Sun Tzup, xerro

Those winners, along with littlebrother2k7, negoeien, Humrlmo, and agile76 automatically qualified for Round 2.

Commiserations to those who did not win. Each of the "eliminated" names (nemrehs1, MrBenn, Xx TrustMe xX, Darin44, David Hoekstra, tdans, dustin800, Lindax) went into a drawing to determine who wins the "wildcard slots".

Those winners also go on to round 2: Dustin800, Lindax, Darin44, David Hoekstra.

Round 2 is doubles teams. littlebrother2k7 and Sun Tzup have already requested to team together. If the rest of our winners can team up on your own, let me know. If everyone can pick a partner, I won't have to go to random drawings on it. If not everyone can pick their partner (from among the qualifiers) I will go to random drawings for everyone.

Again, the players who qualify for Round 2 are:
agile76
Darin44
David Hoekstra
Dustin800
hiitsmestevie1
Humrlmo
Lindax
negoeien
Sackett58
xerro
littlebrother2k7 & Sun Tzup

To those who are not going on for Round 2, thank you for flying with stahr, and hope you've enjoyed the trips. If reserves are needed in future matches, you will be the first asked to fill in.

Those who ARE going on for round 2, please let me know your partners preferences so we can get started with the Wright Brothers flights in Australia.

[Humrlmo]

To those who are not going on for Round 2, thank you for flying with stahr, and hope you've enjoyed the trips.

For your safety please note the emergency exits located at the front, rear, & wing areas. In the event of a water landing.....blame stahr! LMAO!!

What's the in-flight movie and do we get a meal?

http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/b ... search_loc
Says temperature in Sydney for our arrival is 64°F and Mostly Cloudy with a chance of a Few Showers and a High of 68° F for the day.

[stahrgazer]

The in-flight movie is "Swimming in a stahr" and the meal is, of course, liquid.

lmao

[stahrgazer]

Okay, guys, here are the respective games for Round 2 Match 1. It doesn't matter for the tourney which team joins first, so just be cautious please and join on the correct team.

Another well fought match.

[stahrgazer]

Please accept apologies for the delay - this coordinator sprained her wrists last week so couldn't do much on the puter

Congratulations to Humrlmo/dustin800 for winning their second match of round 2! Like Sackett58 and hiitsmestevie1, this automatically places them for Round 3.

Round 2 now continues with a final match between:
negoeien
Lindax

xerro
David Hoekstra

4066662 pw: provided in pm

Winning teams stay intact for round 3 and get to select from those who did not succeed in Round 2; anyone "not selected" by the three "winning" teams from Round 2 will form the final team to go on to Round 3. Yes, that's right, this is technically the "everyone's a winner" round, because EACH of you, whether you "won" Round 2 matches or not, do get to go on to the triples matches!

Winning teams, be thinking about who you want to round out your triples team. "Fights" (where different doubles want the same 3rd member) will be settled by random draw - if you can't agree between yourselves.

[Lindax]

negoeien and Lindax won this game: Game 4066662

Who can we chose from as a third player?
