Darkholm
=========
Captain: TMM
Members: Jolly, A-Sop, TUM
Roster:
=======
DM:
PS:
ST:
LU: He Hate Me (18-7820) (TMM)
TP:
BA: Men Working (38-4189) (A-Sop)
AB: Littlest Tyrant (82-55890) (TMM)
WS:
SL: Cooler (82-7277) (Jolly)
PL:
PR: Work in Progress (38-4193) (A-Sop)
Wildcard #1: Harv (82-20046) (TUM)
Wildcard #2: Reddi Whip (97-1636)(TUM)
Analysis: The Darkholm team is small, but extremely talented and arguably the odds on favorites to win their 2nd Regional Tourney in a row. With a one-two punch of Littlest Tyrant and Harv, Darkholm could easily have
the two best warriors in the field. Wildcard Reddi Whip is an off-style to watch out for.
Home Guard Team (101)
=========
Captain: OAB
Members: Master Darque, Mannequin, Visionist, Deep Thought
Analysis; The biggest underdogs of the tourney, Home Guard can't be expected to win the ADM Regional, but could do better than people expect. Given the format of the tourney, the experience gap isn't as big as it looks on the surface. It will be a victory for them if they can place
anyone in the Final 4. Sandman and Copernicus might be the best bets for warriors from Home Guard to make it past the 2nd round and perennial Freshmen TV Hortator will be a dangerous out for anyone.
Free Blades Team (103)
=========
Captain: The Dark One
Members: Zalgor, Roadkill, Aragorn, Emerald Orbs, She-Puppy, Ceasar
Roster
======
DM:
PS: Veloxi (38-4233) (Zalgor)
ST: Sissy Chrissy (29-1347) (Roadkill)
LU: Natas (11-6531 ) (The Dark One)
TP: ALIX (74-2701) (Zalgor)
BA: Kookaburra (33-4151) (Emerald Orbs)
AB: Defiance (32-4619) (The Dark One)
WS: Gossamer (35-3656) (Aragorn)
SL: Claudius (13-2860) (Caesar)
PL: Nightcap (74-2745) (She-puppy)
PR: Jeo the Songsmith (1-3260) (She-Puppy)
Wildcard: Himey the Pimp (29-730) (Roadkill)
Wildcard: Enlightened Being (26-4642) (Aragorn)
Analysis: Don't be surprised if Free Blades has the best first and second round record out of all the regionals. This team is one of the deepest and most balanced in the fields. The lack of invidivual stars might be their biggest undoing though. Defiance might be the biggest name on the
team, but he might be too young to win it all. If you're looking for a big sleeper, She-Puppy's Nightcap is it. Not a warrior who does tourneys, but he has looked great in the regular arena.
DM: Vision 26-1573 (Kellumbo)
PS: Phlash Phludd 41-1077 (Stormlord)
ST: Vajra Valmejar 11-4928 (Armalias)
LU: Dallas 18-6860 (Manager)
TP: Nay Palm 52-1439 (Marmaduke)
BA: Dough Bermin 41-1633 (Marmaduke)
AB: Death Fog 45-4017 (Manager)
WS: Nixie Seasprite 11-4992 (Armalias)
SL:
PL: Golderie (26-4657) (Jorja)
PR: Sarina 26-4229 (Jorja)
Wildcard #1: Jackson 22-6649 (Kellumbo)
Wildcard #2: Shadow of out Time 41-1622 (Reaper)
Analysis: Boosted by a bunch of returning managers, Andorak fields a surprisingly large team. Arguably, the most top-heavy team in the field, Andorak's hopes of winning it's first ever Regional Tourney might rest in it's Captain of the Guard Vision and recent ADM Runner-Up in Death Fog.
Vision, being a TP, might not have any chance of winning a triple elimination tourney, but this format plays to his advantage. Andorak's warrior Dallas, has the highest recognition of any warrior in the field.
Analysis: Crysalis makes it's first Regional Tournament appearance ever and is hoping to crash the party. The only team to be able to field a full roster, Crystalis slots were tightly contested and they hope their depth reflects that. This team is definitely mysterious with a bunch of warriors who play in Slow arenas and don't play in many tourneys. Hari-Kari might be their best bet to win it all, but I wouldn't count out Bloodbath either.
Manager's Final 4 Predictions: (Hard to do w/out knowing the bracket)
====================
Littlest Tyrant (104)
Harv (104)
Death Fog (105)
Nightcap (103)

Great info, nice analysis. Thanks, Dwayne.
When will any action be announced?
Will it occur piecemeal? (each round)
Or is it an all at once thing?
Will anyone get paperwork, or is it all on site?

The way I understand it:
- I don't know. Probably dependent on Judith to finish the write ups.
- I believe so, yes.
- I suspect piece meal.
- There should be some paperwork....

I'll tweak Managerr;s final 4, and say Littlest Tyrant, He Hate Me, Harv & Jackson. Of course it will all depend on the Bracketology.

Omg! Jackson's first mention! I feel like the countless hours spent acquiring the TC prizes for him are all worth it!
Seriously though, Jackson is about 10 skills short of making a serious ADM run, so I don't think he'll go far in this tourney without really good matchups.
Vision is over 70 skills ahead of him, and would have a much better shot if he can avoid strong ABs. We'll see. I'm excited to see some results!

Maybe the ladies can post the fights on the Forum. One by one. Round by round. It would let all of us see them at the same time.

I asked, Lee seemed willing to do it. She would have to manually take out everyone's strategy section, but that seemed like it wouldn't take too long. She's be more likely to upload the whole round at once as an unformatted doc though....

Not yet.

I think this is a very cool tournament. When it was first announced I didn't think there would be any chance that I would have a warrior involved, but it still seemed like a cool idea. As it turns out, I have two warriors on the Crysalis team. My thanks to the team for working hard to include a lot of different managers on the roster. I'm certainly not predicting a lot of success for my guys, but it is cool to be a part of the party, no matter how briefly.

Let the games begin!
This is one of the reasons, along with his wonderful knowledge of the game, why we think Crip is one of the very top managers in the game. We, too, were able to get two warriors on the Crysalis Team. Good luck to you, Nomad.
As to results published for this ADM special event, it isn't 2010 yet, is it?
