This tourney is one of the most well-thought out and executed that I've played in

Glad to hear that Blinkadyblink! I also enjoy watching some of the greatest CC members battle it out on so many different maps. I believe that this final group really has among the most qualified and experienced players in the entire tournament, and none of the 4 made it in with a fluke victory; it was well-earned. All 4 of you are at least majors and you're a colonel so this should make for some impressive game play. We'll see how it goes. Thanks

The standings have been updated after the first rotation comes to a close in the Fiery Four:

Blinkadyblink remains Roaster, as no player defeated him. Each of the 3 other players in the group are given the letter P. Still chances for the other skilled competitors to catch up and dominate...

Play for the next rotation will start shortly.

[WorldCup4James]

Domicas wins a critical matchup against Blinkadyblink to secure the Roaster position for Rotation 3. He thus has a 1-letter lead over kgbpizza and darkbluesky (who have PI).

Rotation 4

Rotation 4 has begun!

[WorldCup4James]

[WorldCup4James]

And so we enter Rotation 6! Domicas and darkbluesky are at the brink of elimination, both with PI. But nobody should write these two off as we have seen: they keep winning and upsetting the Roaster, so the fierce competition shall continue as nothing is set in stone yet!

Rotation 6

[WorldCup4James]

After 295 grueling matches and a countless number of pig slaughterings over the bitterly fierce 8 months of competition, we have finally, from the field of 48 aspiring Pig Roasters, discovered our triumphant Roaster who, from the very first Rotation to the last, even when the heat was turned up and the grill started sizzling, overpowered his competitors and, alone, devoured a, quite belated, mouthwateringly impressive Thanksgiving meal, filled with roast pig, turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, the whole nine yards!

Congratulations to Blinkadyblink, champion of the Pig Roast!

Thank you everyone for taking part and competing in the Roast! Thanksgiving is right around the corner so keep an eye out, the 2011 Pig Roast will begin accepting signups in October (hey, that's only 3 months away...).

Until then, have a great day, enjoy CC, and when you have that craving for roasted pigs, feel free to come out back and have a go at the grill and sit down at the Thanksgiving table and devour some pigs, eh?

Thanks,
James
