Learned on Chatzy: There is apparently (at least for this tourney) a new freshman line. Approx 160-161 skills.

For what it's worth, the tourney has finished running as of last night and printing is commencing...

Wish I had something, anything, aside from the fact that a warrior TC'd in every bracket......not that I'll win or anything, but I like knowing who did what.

Patience. We'll start hearing things soon enough. Here's a little teaser: my Challengers lunger didn't die in the tourney.

Thankfully the tournament should be coming soon...and we'll all have more to talk about than quint skill-learns.

Word has it that its now too late to request Fed Ex. Seems likely that stuff will get mailed tomorrow.

FedEx results are in. Controversy all around!

BTW, don't want to bother the FedExers, but if you have spoilers you wouldn't mind sharing or taking the time out to find, I wouldn't mind a PM with results Smile

After a quick look at my tourney results, I think I TC'd apprentices with a Striker, Helper of Venture Bros. I received two run-offs for him, one where he got eliminated after 2 losses, then another packet (starting with turn 11) with an orange header sheet, hand-written "After the zombie attack", in which he ended up 15-1-1 and won his last match.

Obviously, this gives me a greater understanding of why people would complain about the runoff format snafu.

I did awful as usual in Primus, every damn one of 'em 0-5-0, but some nice raises. I had 2 of mine get killed, one of them my first double-21 AB. Didn't get anyone back from the dead, but one 7-3-0.

Grats Buri .. Looks like I was runner up to you in Apprentices. I have to say I got a bit excited when I saw that striker vs wall of steel match up. Buttttt those 2 quick BS crits made it a one sided butt kicking with me one the receiving end. Enjoy that Zombie!!!

Thanks, I was a bit surprised at the outcome too! But then, so were several other TP/WS types that he faced. I can't even say that BS is his favorite, he did equally well with the SC. Chalk it up to Ad Ex Attack going into the runoffs, and luck.
