I finished off my tourney strategies and will probably stick them in a priority mail envelope to RSI sometime this coming week, along with my ADM selection sheets for the post-tourney ADM split.

Barring a last minute immortal Champ or two, here are my numbers:

58 total entries
By tourney class: 5 Primus, 2 Contenders, 1 Eligible, 5 ADM, 1 Freshmen, 2 Challengers, 2 Champions, 6 Adepts, 8 Initiates, 11 Apprentices, 15 Rookies
By fighting style: 10 AB, 6 BA, 6 LU, 4 PL, 2 PR, 4 PS, 4 SL, 12 ST, 4 TP, 6 WS

I think I have an underdog's chance in Contenders, Eligibles, and Freshmen, and the usual super long shot in several of the basic classes. I'm not expecting to win anything, but I am hopeful, as always!

I look forward to things returning to normal and facing some tough competition in the mail-in.

With the addition of 2 last minute graduating Champs (and 2 additional warriors along with them), movement of one Turf War warrior from Initiates to Apprentices due to one less turn, here are my final numbers for the mail-in:

62 total entries
By tourney class: 5 Primus, 2 Contenders, 1 Eligible, 5 ADM, 1 Freshmen, 2 Challengers, 4 Champions, 6 Adepts, 7 Initiates, 13 Apprentices, 16 Rookies
By fighting style: 10 AB, 6 BA, 6 LU, 4 PL, 2 PR, 4 PS, 6 SL, 12 ST, 4 TP, 8 WS

I'll be faxing in those last 4 strategies today and am excited for the mail-in, at long last! Good luck to everyone. I'm looking forward to some stiff competition.

Yes. It is very exciting that we finally are getting a mail tourney. I was thinking the other day that I need to fill in my strats for the FtF.

Better mail 'em now so they get there in time, Longshot. Wink

didn't bother sending anything. Too apathetic and too much craziness with the game and in RL. Good luck to all.

It's probably as close as I'll ever get to OAB but I, too, added a couple graduating champs to the roster for the MI. Here's the breakdown:

Total: 29 (which matches my 1st MI upon returning to DM)
Classes: Rookies 17, Apps 4, Inits 6, Champs 2
Styles:

AB: 3
BA: 7 (Spending too much time chatting with Assur)
LU: 5
PL: 3
PR: 1 (token)
PS: 1 (token)
SL: 3
ST: 2
TP: 3
WS: 1 (token)

No real hopes for any of them. Sad
