Texas, I have moved the sign-up topic from Upcoming Events to the main area of Fantasy All Access, since it's less than 3 weeks from happening. Hopefully it will be more visible now.

I'm gonna vouch for TotallyNotSatan to be a writer. He did GREAT during Hammerfall and was one of the most punctual writers I had. When he could not write for whatever reason, I knew several days in advance so it was never a hurried thing.

Do it. Just do it.

All right, TNS is officially signed up for writing!

(by the way, I would prefer a more realistic writing style for this tournament)

I don't think there's enough weapon power being thrown around to cause a singularity this time, so you should be okay :v:

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Guess that depends if you can think of anything better to put in place of it.

For what it's worth any time I've had a championship bot and then run with it again the very next tournament it's performance was subsequently a disappointment. :P

All right, signups are CLOSED! Time to get this started!

So, unfortunately we didn't fill all the slots: only 12 out of 16. This makes the bracket a bit more complicated.

I think it's best to keep the "Groups of 4" system and having the top two in each group advance to the playoffs. However, that means that we'll have six bots in the playoffs, which makes life complicated. Two of the six will have a first-round bye. The finals bracket will be determined randomly, but as mentioned in the signups thread the first-place and second-place finishers from each group will be placed on opposite side of the bracket so there won't be any rematches until the final round.

There will still be two six-way rumbles happening in the last two weeks of competition, but now all twelve entrants can fight in the rumbles!

Brackets and fight cards for week 1 will be posted tomorrow!

Also, can a mod remove the word "Preliminary" from the thread title now that the tournament is actually starting?
