Chiflutz has some family things he has to attend to, so we're gonna play our games around Thursday when he gets back. When do we have until to play our quarterfinals?

Well, the round of 16 should be done by today/tommorow, so I'd say you have a few days. There are only 4 matches, so it shouldn't take that long.

I'm hoping we can have the finals before August 20th (so ~3 weeks) cause I have to fly over to Vancouver, can for a week. -_-

edit: nm, the hotel I'm staying at has internet, but still, I'd want to finish it before then

Okay, I have decided to make one last final extension for Sr18 and parascyhpe (or however you spell it, sorry

). Sr18 told me he would complete his games on either Monday or Tuesday (today). That being said, I sent him a PM and to his opponent, and have set a deadline for the results to be sent in/posted here at 3:00 PM MST August 1st (tommorow).

If I do not get the results, I will have to disqualify both players, and the replacement will be Naib VS. GarlicPepper.

Thank you.

The game is still scheduled for tonight. It's kinda hard to set up a good time though as there is a 9 hour time difference.

Scrap that. I've waited the entire night for him to come online as we agreed, but for some reason he never showed up. I'm tired and furious at the same time, a bad combination -_-,.

Was discussed already.

wizardpl, I think it would be unfair to DQ. Sr18, he's pretty active and posts on this topic all the time

Okay, everybody, sorry to keep you waiting, but we have officially ended the Round of 16. Paraschype (god I can never spell it without copy pasting) has PM'ed me (a few hours ago, I wasn't on) that he has forfeited his match to Sr18. He applogizes for the inconvenience to Sr18 and all the other players. Of course, since it are his games, this is fully allowable.

So, Sr18 VS. Paraschype = forfeit by Paraschype, Sr18 moves on to the Quarterfinals.

I would like to thank all players who participated in the tournament/championship, but who unfourtantly did not make it through, and 'special' kudos to oshibori_probe and Quint for being the only players who were not defeated in a straight 3-0 sweep.

On the other hand, congratulations to all players who did make it through, and good luck in your Quarterfinal matches.

Today is the beginning of all Quarterfinal matches if you have not started them yet, and once again, the matchups for the Quarterfinals will be as posted on the main page.

The Quarterfinal matches will be conducted in the same 4 game series as used in the Round of 16 (just for clarification).

Okay I updated the the main thread, and currently we are starting the Quarterfinals.

However, I am also wondering what you guys think about something: as of now, I am reserving one spot in the next tournament for the winner of this one ('defending champion'), and then have a bunch of players who signed up including me (lolz

). I'm thinking, should we only have one player be automatically entered as the defending champion, or should we have top 2, 3, or 4? I'm not sure what the right way to go about doing this would be.

Thanks, and someone reply.

Good to see this tournament is working well. But i guess, to support Sr18 , you should allow only players with a certain number of posts to play in this kind of event. It is always frustrating to see forfeits in tournament.
Anyway, good luck to all

Why not make the next 1 a 32 person tourney considering there's @ least 25+ people interested.

Okay, I've added Schones_Chaos to the player list for the next tournament. (Sigh, 32 players = 16 matches in the first round T_T, I'm going to have fun with PM'ing all the people...)

Okay, I decided I'm going to let only the winner of the tournament be automatically entered into the next one. Sort of like a defending champion honour. -_- OR, we could have something like a huge bracket of 32 players, and the finalist (so the 'winner') would play the defending champion (so the bracket would be like a qualifier for the championship final).

What do you think guys?
