[Abanhfleft]

Puppet of Abanhfleft will enter.

Confirmed.

[Neu Engollon]

Caught up. Can we get one more in the next few days to bring us to an even 24?

[The Ross Isles]

In.

[New Quomir]

I will join in the fun

[Khazuul]

[Neu Engollon]

Caught up on the sign ups list and a little over numbers now, but not to worry...I'm going to extend 3 more days and hope we can even out and also that I can finish the maths on the R7 rankings by then. 3 more will get us to 30, 6 groups of 5 NT's.

[Geektopia]

Here to confirm that Aimena will always be a puppet and they will never compete solely in a competition without Geektopia being there.

2018-9 R7 Ranks have been updated.

The next legitimate sign up will close out the sign ups at an even 30 and the tournament will begin within roughly 24 hrs of that event. Thanks for your patience.

[Riysa]

I'm in - should be fun bringing back the Ibexes.

[Neu Engollon]

With Riysa's sign up, we are now closed, pending no CTE's or puppet rule breakers. Any new sign ups will go to a wait list should either of the aforementioned situations occur in the next 24 hours.

The Everything thread is now up.

[Neu Engollon]

Friday 30/8 is the first match scoring. Get those rosters and first posts up, folks.

[Neu Engollon]

I adjusted the schedule to account for last night's delay, as well as putting in expected group match ups so you can plan your upcoming RPs specific to your opponents, and lastly, also an always helpful aid to RP, are links to team rosters for those that did post them.

[Neu Engollon]

I will hold off on cut off for 10 more hours, to be fair and give a 24 hour span for RP. After the day skip, we will go back to the regular cut off time of late evening/early AM US Eastern Time.

[Neu Engollon]

I missed the cut off. Something came up. You get a 24 hr extension from the original deadline to get that RP in (15 hrs from now). Scoring will still happen on the 7th at the regular cut off time to get us back on schedule. Thanks for your patience and your participation.

I'm kinda glad been super busy myself.

I'm kinda glad been super busy myself.

It happens to us all. Happened to me several times these last 2 weeks.


IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: The schedule has been revised. As pulled from the now edited OP:
08 Sept: Plate, Bowl & Cup Quarterfinals (IC DAY THREE AM)
10 Sept: Plate, Bowl & Maracalo Cup Semifinals (IC DAY THREE AFT)
12 Sept: Plate, Bowl & Maracalo Cup Final/3PPO (IC DAY THREE PM)

There is no playoff round for the quarterfinals. They will be played (scored) tonight, with the semis and finals being in two day intervals thereafter. Not sure why I left the playoffs in there, but it was a holdover from another AVBF tournament and another format. The good news is that we will be done one day sooner than the previous schedule, and there are sign ups for Cups coming up.
If you have any questions about the revised schedule or how NT's were relegated to the Cup, Plate and Bowl, please ask here or TG me, if that's more comfortable for you. Thanks.

[Neu Engollon]

Cut off will be 2 hours earlier than normal tonight. I have an early rise tomorrow for a big training day at my new job. So to be exact, cut off in 14 hours from now at around 2100 US ET. Sorry for any inconvenience, but I think this should still give folks plenty of time.

Playing the no. 2 seeded team for the plate is not how I saw this tourney playing out

Hutanjia playing for the plate instead of the Maracalo Cup is probably not how they saw things turning out, either.

[Geektopia]

Let’s be honest, Kriegersien was going to thrash me. Now that was a 1 in 100 game.
