Fourth Annual Non-Prolific Writers Tournament: Round 3, Divisions 3 and 4

Meowthnum1 | Posted 5/24/2007 5:10:22 AM | message detail
Whew, after an exhilarating match yesterday, we have our division 1 and 2 champions! It was close. It was nailbiting. Both matches were one-sided at the beginning, and then they got close, and then finally, in a heretofore unknown deft move, ADR swept forth and won. Here are your division 1 and 2 champions:

20 - A Darkstar Ripclaw d. 1 - Super Slash 6-5
2 - PeTeRL50 d. 14 - Dalez 7-4


Congratulations to both the deserving winners yesterday and the really close losers. Hopefully today's match will be even more exciting. Here are the writers:

7 - Da Hui
vs.
11 - Relle

8 - AstroBlue
vs.
12 - WLau


Good luck!! As usual, the link to the CRPs, bracket, and rules can be found here: http://www.freewebs.com/tjackson3/2007npbracket.html

That was an epic match. Never mind the fact that the guy was basically pulling off an upset before he got his lead cut away from him, then pulled out with one vote. Peter50 had a nice comeback as well.

Anyways...

Honestly, I believe Dalez is the better writer and I was expecting to lose in the third round like I did last year when I faced off against Phoenix 1911.

7 - Da Hui

Just out of curiosity, how many votes have these tournaments gotten in the past? I would have expected a few more.

I'd say last year had a pretty good turn out.

Do you still have last years bracket somewhere, Trace?

Haha. I can't believe I missed how obvious it was to just change the 7 to a 6.

I do, but it's difficult to find.

I was using it for comparison to decide some stuff for this year. For instance, I was comfortable with a 32 person tournament instead of a 64 person tournament because if you notice, round one of 2006 was pretty...predictable. I think about half of the matches saw the loser receive one vote or less (in fact, our division one champ this year got shut out last year). There are other cool bits too.

Wow. I was just directed to this tournament. I was, admittedly on here a couple of times in the last month, but I kind of skimmed over the match topics, as I was very busy for the last couple of weeks. It wasn't until yesterday and today when by a freak coincidence I was told I was even in this thing. I must admit, I am quite surprised at coming this far, so, uh, thanks to everybody who voted for me, I guess. Those of you who said my work was of good quality - that is very inspiring, so especially a thanks (I believe somebody said my Warlocked FAQ was "godly" as well; that makes me glad, as I feel it to be my best complete work so far).

There is one vote that I would like to clarify, if the voter happens to read this post; BostonFuse51, was there anything you particularly disliked about my work (as you state it was an easy pick for you)? And (including other voters), I already know some people don't particularly take to my indentations, but it would be refreshing to hear some thoughts on the formality that I keep as a rule of thumb; barely any spoilers, no contractions, and no humor or personality.

It looks like I am having a match tomorrow, though, so if you prefer (and are happy to oblige me on this) could you put it in your reasons for tomorrow?
