			I will be rescuing this tournament.
Okay, for starters, I've quoted eagleblade's initial post verbatim, and added spoiler tags to make it a little more organised. Step 2 will be to figure out if round 1 is complete, and to post scores as required. Step 3 will be to start sending out Round 2 games. I'm hoping to get this done fairly quickly.
Edit: Looks like round 2 was mostly complete, although completely undocumented. I'll be doing some clean-up of the scoring, and we may be into round 3 sooner than expected. eagleblade wrote: show: intro 
  Years of Economic crisis shattered the Americas forcing the increase of taxes that eventually began causing civil unrest. Finally Argentina revolts and the central government manages to only hold the capital, then brazil follows but the rebels flee into the amazon rainforest. After the rebellions of South America Quebec separates. This is the spark for massive civil unrest in the most powerful government in the world USA, a major protest starts in L.A that spreads throughout the west coast. To make matters worse a drought happens and the central states reject to give any surviving crops to anyone. Already pumped up on the protest the central government of the US overreacts and sends in the military to forcefully take the crops. Soon all of the Americas is out of control....

  ROUND 1: Round Robin2 pts. 6 pts. ADVANCES 7 pts. ADVANCES 4 pts. 7 pts. ADVANCES 5 pts. ADVANCES 1 pts. 2 pts. 4 pts. 7 pts. ADVANCES 1 pts. 6 pts. ADVANCES 2 pts. Panama-bearshark3 NYC-richman688 2 pts. 2 pts. 9 pts. ADVANCES Group 4 is our first problem. NCachulo won the maximum possible of 9 points, and definitely advances. That is indisputable. However, randy pierce, richman688, and KingDiabl0 all won 2 points, so there should have been some kind of tiebreaker, and there is no record of one. For some reason which the original TO has not explained, randy pierce was allowed to advance without any reasoning provided. (Also, I'm somewhat disturbed that there is no record of why bearshark3 was dropped from the tournament. There may have been a reason, such as missing invites, but it should have been posted.) I'm going to write to all 5 of the players in Group 5 and see if they can explain all these discrepancies. Edit Feb. 20th. I wrote to everyone involved, and nobody could explain to me how the tie was decided. Nobody seemed particularly worried about it, so I have to assume that the tie was settled in some way that was generally acceptable to all, even if nobody bothered recording it. Since randy pierce has already played his round 2 games, it makes sense to just let the result stand as-is. 3 pts. 8 pts. ADVANCES 2 pts. 4 pts. ADVANCES 6 pts. ADVANCES 5 pts. ADVANCES 4 pts. 1 pts. 5 pts. ADVANCES 4 pts. 4 pts. ADVANCES 2 pts. 3 pts. 6 pts. ADVANCES 8 pts. ADVANCES 2 pts.
