My top prospects are in ADM, Freshmen, Champions, and Adepts.
Chili Con Carnage of Shewish Buffet in ADM: Chili Con Carnage is a WS that I created using the 8-8-5-21-21-10-11 roll-up. He has no tourney pedigree, but received a favorable classification (classed ADM with 184 total skills and 15 trains) and had just hit the 100 FE mark, so I went for it. He entered the freeze with tremendous endurance, good carry, can take a lot, and good damage. Not the best physicals for ADM, but between SC crits and APA/F, hopefully it will be enough. Three WL trains in the run up to the tourney puts him at 196 total skills and after training WT for most of the early rounds, taking a shot at WL to 25, and then DF in the run-offs, he could end up topping out at 220 or 230 total skills.
Dragon Fruit of Shewish Picnic in Freshmen: Dragon Fruit was created using an arena replacement and began life as a 12-11-13-21-20-4-3 LU. After three trains to WL following the freeze, he is entering the tourney with 75 FE, 162 total skills, 18 trains, awesome endurance, tremendous take, tremendous carry, and great damage. I'm training a bit conservatively, concentrating on WL and DF and leaving WT alone for Eligibles, so he should theoretically top out at 179 total skills. His favorites leave something to be desired, but you can't have everything.
Corsair of Sea Dogs in Champions: Corsair is a fairly generic tourney ST that ran in the Slaughter Memorial Contest in DM 28. As part of the prize, I was able to learn his favorites, which included LS, Lunge tactic, and MO AL. With his 11-7-11-21-15-8-11 numbers, he was lucky enough to be able to use all of his favorites. In Adepts he ran with LS and Lunge vs the field, switching to SC, no tactic, and MO AL vs parry types. This set of strategies got him to a 10-3 Adepts TV, so I'm hopeful for more of the same magic in his Champions run before his likely retirement.
Gamma Delphini of Delphinus in Adepts: Gamma Delphini is a LU with good endurance, normal damage, Masters in Ini, Att, and Def, and an AdEx in Dec. He has learned 67 skills and gotten 1 train in 20 FE, so he looks very promising on paper. But with no TVs so far, his success in this tourney is too hard to predict.
I have other warriors who might surprise me, but these are my best hopes. None of them are likely to put up a dominant performance, but hopefully they can provide me with plenty of tourney excitement.
Good luck to everyone in the mail-in!

My Basket of Deplorables:
53 live, 21 dead. Setting aside the dead (many of which are really old and aren't in my database), here are the live ones:
I don't expect too much in AD, but excited to gauge the progress. I'd guess that my best classes would be Champs and Initiates this time, but you never know.

Cool teasers:
One warrior had 4 kills
One arena had half of its entrants get either a TV or TC.
No undefeated TCs. Only 1 with 1 loss. The rest all on the bubble.

Saving everything for Tempe, so I only sent 7 guys, all dead:
3 Strikers
1 Aimed Blow
1 Wall of Steel
2 Lungers
The upside is: I won't lose any fighters in this tourney!

Here are the most memorable entries I have, by style:
AB: 9-13-10-13-13-5-21, Rooks, +3 OB INI, RIP and ATT. Runner up: 7-7-8-15-17-9-21, also Rooks. The old Nebuchaneezer rollup, rolled P/G. I also have a 17-17-x-21 but he's otherwise an unknown.
BA: 15-5-13-21-17-8-5 Init, +2 OB luck, ADEX DEC, EX ATT
LU: Lot of fun ones here, but the clear hopeful is 9-7-8-21-21-7-11, Rooks, N/N, +3 OB ATT / INI, ADEX ATT, EX INI
PL: 15-12-5-15-21-5-11, Rooks, G/N. I had a nice Champ but I accidentally pushed him over the line to Challengers, so...
PR: 17-13-9-17-8-3-17, Rooks, N/G, +3 OB DEF
PS: 15-13-8-17-17-3-11, Rooks, G/G, +2 OB DEF
SL: 11-8-15-13-21-9-7, Rook, G/G, +1 OB ATT/INI, +2 OB RIP, +4 DEF. Runner ups: 3 17/17s
ST: This is my only non-21 WT: 9-3-9-17-17-12-17, Rooks, P/N (sigh), no known bonuses
TP: 21-10-9-13-9-5-17, Rooks, G/R, +2 OB DEF. If I can get this guy to swing, look out!
WS: 21-8-14-17-9-4-11, Rooks, +3 OB ATT, EX ATT, N/T. I have two other, somewhat more conventional, WSs: 15-16-5-11-17-9-11 and 21-11-6-13-17-5-11
There you have it. Critique, suggestion and hyperbolic sniggering welcome!
My subconscious must really have something against the ripper!

I had a super small crew this time.
1 in primus that can TV.
1 in Contenders for fun (Butch).
2 in Eligibles (1 that can TV).
0 ADM
2 in Freshmen (1 that can TV)
2 in Challengers (I think they could either TV or go 0-2...weird huh?)
And I think 6 dead. All of which are super awesome. But likely to not do super well.
My goal is to get 2 dead back. I would be over joyed!

Might as well post mine too. Interesting that Dark is running so many! Will he have any left for Tempe? Also no dead for MD, makes me wonder why I sent any! An LHI sighting, as KOP concludes.. Odd timing. Anyway as we all wait here are my numbers.
Live side
41 Total
Rooks: 6, APPS: 4, INITS 6, ADEPTS 5, CHAMP: 2, CHALL: 3, FRESH: 4, ADM: 7, ELIG: 1 CONT: 2, PRIM: 1
ST 5
LU 12
AB 9
TP 2
WS 2
PL 1
PR 3
SL 4
BA 3
PS 0
7 are timing for Tempe. One contender has hit several trains and I'm hoping to move past round 7 there. Inits is my strongest. No real hopefuls though.
Dead side
20 total
APPS 3, INITS 9, ADEPTS 4, CHAMP 3, CHALL 1
ST 7
LU 1
AB 7
TP 0
WS 0
PL 0
PR 0
SL 3
BA 1
PS 1
The PS would be real nice to get back. Also one of ST is the one from the holy grail. Died round 2 in rooks and is +4 in Dec. The rest are beautiful on paper but of course dead. Good luck to all.

Sandy told me yesterday they would be ready to go this afternoon. I arrange my own pickup and UPS hasn't gotten mine yet or it wasn't ready.
