[chapcrap]

I was asked to help be a neutral third party to help replace 3 AWOL players with 3 of the 16 who had been eliminated. I put the 16 remaining players in the list randomizer on random.org and came out with the list below. WorldCup4James agreed to use this list for replacements, starting at the top.

1. kuma32478
2. simmons4
3. fruitsmoothieboy
4. rmjw10
5. BunnRee
6. ComposerNate
7. uk massive
8. farinelli

The following players qualified through play thus far:

xman5151
magiiiiiic
stokiepaul--Inactive
zhartley----Inactive
n_nikko
isaiah40
theheadholes
Maverick0711
[player]buttersbaby[/player]
[player]Gilligan[/player]
[player]ckyrias[/player]
[player]WorldCup4James[/player]
[player]murphy16[/player]--Inactive
[player]Tiberius Maximus[/player]
[player]magneto_acolyte[/player]
[player]catnipdreams[/player]

According to the list, kuma32478, simmons4, and fruitsmoothieboy shall replace the 3 Inactive players.
rmjw10 will be the first player called up in the event of another inactive player, followed by BunnRee, etc.

To replace these 3 inactive players, I decided a random drawing by a neutral party was best.
Since this tournament has extended nearly 1 year and 2 months, I am obligated to try and reduce the length of this tournament, as per the Tournament Handbook:

Each tournament should be designed to end within 1 year. (Added June 16, 2011)

'

Additional matches to determine the 3 replacement players would have required further 8-player games, which undoubtedly would have taken another month.

[WorldCup4James]

Since [player]fruitsmoothieboy[/player] is banned from CC, [player]rmjw10[/player], the #4 on the above list, will replace him in the Semis.

Indeed, as has [player]isaiah40[/player] in the other Round 3 game. Thus we move into Round 4, the 5-player games.

May 27 Update

Round 4 is underway (5-player games). [player]xman5151[/player] and [player]isaiah40[/player] have guaranteed their places in the Final after winning the games in Round 3.

Now, there are 6 finalists, and only 2 spots available still in the 8-player Final! Thus this is your last chance to make it to the final, semifinalists! Give it your best shot in your 5-player game; you just might be lucky and push through!

Good luck in the fourth and final Semifinals round:

Finally my friends, finally!

We have emerged into the glorious tournament final, 1 8-player game on Fractured America, after...eh...19 months of play

Thank you all, as usual, for staying committed to this tournament. I expected this to last long, but not this long!

May the best man win. Props to all the Finalists, who have made it far into competition, and may their pinnacle performances be exuded in the Final!

The Final
The 8 finalists play in one, 8-player game. The winner is the champion of the tournament!
