So, do we send in strat sheets or will the strats be taken from the last turn's strats? If so, is there a due date?
Good question.

Just for clarification (have had multiple people ask)
If you had a warrior selected on a team, what happens is your *default* strategy from the last time you ran in the arena will be used.
So, if you're on the 103 team, and you want to change your strategy, all you would do is submit a normal Free Blades arena strategy with your warrior.
If that strategy is good, you don't have to do a thing.

Assumptions:
I'm assuming this was Manager's idea to have this this year, which brings another assumption that Manager is the favorite to win this thing.
Once again, more assumptions from Aragorn that are not based on any facts or knowledge...

I'll try to post final rosters and a preview this weekend. A quick glance over at some rosters (still a couple of stuff pending), and I have my eyes on about 6 warriors I think that have a shot at winning. There is one former Eligibles TC in the field and it's not mine.
(Also, strange shenanigans have been known to happen in regional tourneys before, anything can happen, it's not necessarily a fair competition)

Good catch Aaragorn! It does seem unfair that Managerr is "running this thing" (and it ain't) but we are surely glad he is! It will be a cool competition and there will be surprises.
That may have sound misleading, so let's rephrase ...
A fair competition "organized" by Managerr. Glad he is doing so.

Oops, I didn't mean to sound peckish. I am very glad Manager has gone through the trouble to get this thing going as well. I hope it runs smoothly enough for RSI to not mind doing this each year. It's a breath of fresh air for the Eligibles class and regular ADM. I like the format which allows it to be relatively easy for RSI effort and time-wise, and also the occasional Cinderella single elimination upset possibility.

Ok just got off the phone with Lee and here's an update:
Round 1 is set to run in a few hours. It will be bracket style, March Madness type. I'm going to see if I can get the bracket and maybe we can have some prediction games.
Due to time constraints, you probably won't be able to see your fights, at least for the early rounds. (this is free so I didn't argue the point) We'll see about putting the later rounds online when the field narrows. Everyone should get a detailed spyreport with all of the results though.

The next ADM Regional Tournament will be held the Week of September 20th, 2009.
Is the week of Sept 20 over yet?
Here's hoping for a Crysalis win and a Home Guard 2nd place.
Notice that the tournament "announcement" does not indicate when the publishing of the results will be?

The following is a quote from Manager a few posts up.

Hope we have some sort of update soon. This is worse then waiting for tourney results.
