Phase 1]

Phase 1
40 players in 5 groups will play 8-player games on the Middle Ages map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

Welcome aboard, everyone, the show's about to start!

I see a lot of my old fans, but I also see a lot of new faces who haven't played in any of my tournaments before. Welcome aboard, new faces!

For those who haven't played with me before, please note that if you have any questions, I prefer if you post them in the thread for the benefit of all, rather than filling my inbox. (Unless of course, they contains something personal and sensitive, in which case by all means send me a PM if that makes you feel safer.) I do check my tournament threads on a regular basis -- perhaps not every single day without fail, but most days.

As in all my tourneys, player lists and game lists are in Post 2.

Anyway, Phase 1 games have been created and invitations sent out. With no further ado, game's on!

[Dukasaur]

I accidentally erased Post 1.


I believe I have reconstructed it correctly, but please be forgiving if there are any errors.

sorry pressed no button by misstake

sorry pressed no button by misstake

It happens.

Better to get your mis-clicks out of the way before the game than during the game...

[Dukasaur]

All Phase 1 games have finished and we're definitely ready to move on to Phase 2. However, with my vacation last week I'm very much behind on a lot of tournaments, so it will be a few days before I get caught up.

[Dukasaur]

Players eliminated in Phase 1 are crazy4catnip, whakamole, alec.ramsden, Fakyras, and sandman175.

[Dukasaur]

Phase 2]

Phase 2
35 players in 5 groups will play 7-player games on the Transsib 1914 map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

[Dukasaur]

Phase 3]

Phase 3
30 players in 5 groups will play 6-player games on the Northwest Passage map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

Phase 3 games have been created and invitations sent out. Good luck, everyone!

[Dukasaur]

ABN-PFDR has now missed four invites into his game. I was extra lenient due to the hurricane, but he has been online at least twice since then and not accepted his invite.

Musoyama is therefore resurrected.

[Dukasaur]

All games in phase 3 have ended. I hope to update this on the weekend.

[Dukasaur]

In Game 11860975, BigMac was the first eliminated, but grablett has not renewed his premium and thus can't continue. Grablett is therefore the player out this round, on a TKO.

Other players eliminated are bobafart, spore08, jigger1986, and General Bax.

Next round coming right up!

[Dukasaur]

Still one game in this phase with no elimination, but I think we're getting close.

[Dukasaur]

In the ruins of Pompeii we leave our friends Ciglione and aalii. We carry on to Rorke's Drift.
