Initech Invitational I [WINNER: Hacx5nine]

[Peter Gibbons]

group 5 if i can

Assignments will be random. Once everyone is assigned, the 32 people will be placed in 4 different pots based on rank and then each group will get one player from each pot. The way things are shaping up now, each group will have (more or less): one major, one captain or lt., one lt. or sgt-first class, one sgt or below.

Just kidding, looks like a lot of fun and thanks for putting this together.

Just a general update for everyone involved:

We still have one game ongoing from the First Round and, unfortunately, it decides who advances to the Quarters. So while some people have already qualified for the semis, this game is delaying us. It's fog, so it's hard to tell if it will be over soon! But rest assured that you'll get the game #s and PWs the minute that I can send them out. Hopefully the quarterfinal group that starts late can be somewhat quick so the semis don't get delayed too much. If anyone has questions/concerns/complaints/suggestions... you know where to direct them!
