Wait, Schiltz, did you actually write that yourself?

Home a little earlier then expected, that's what happens when you try to bring misbehaving kids to a baseball game.
Since it looks like everyone's got their RP in, I am going to cutoff now.

Dang, what a series. It looks like we won't have the Schiltzberg-Newmanistan match up, but it will still be a great finals. I'd like to humbly point out that the New Schiltzbierg Times correctly predicted both the finals match up and third place series match up before the round of sixteen. ;)

Yeah, now that you mentioned it, I think I got all of my predictions right except for Nova Anglicana in the Ro16 and West Saintland in the quarterfinals. I guess this Classic was just more predictable?

Congratulations Newmanistan on third and West Phoenicia on fourth. As a disclaimer, I'm on vacation right now, so I will not be able to do council and hall of fame voting until about a week after WBC 40 closes. It shouldn't be a problem, but I just wanted to let you guys know.

In all seriousness, great job Cassadaigua on hosting your first time back from hiatus! It was a well-run tournament with plenty of exciting matchups. Can't wait to see what WBC 41 brings.

Well played, Super-Llamaland, and thanks for the wonderful job, Cassadaigua. I know I was more inactive than I should have been, but it was still a great tournament. Good job, and thanks everyone.
I don't know how long I'll be back, but I just thought I'd stop in and say hi, at least.
