TEAM SPOTLIGHT
THE ADM REGIONAL TOURNAMENT
The next ADM Regional Tournament will be held in the months of October/November 2011
and will be contested in the regular arenas during the late Summer months.
Q: What is the ADM Regional Tournament?
A: The ADM Regional Tournament is a competition where the best and brightest warriors
from the ADM regionals compete for bragging rights and to see which region is the
best!
Q: How does it work?
A: During the month of October, the warriors of each Regional Team will be temporarily
moved to a special regional arena, where they will battle it out in a single
elimination tournament. The last warrior standing wins for his region. (Learns,
skills, and FE gained during the contest will not be permanent.)
Results will be posted online during the months of October/November.
Q: How are teams determined?
A: There are 10 warrior slots given out to each team. The 10 Stylemasters of each
regional arena during Saturday, October 15th will automatically qualify and be
selected.
To qualify for a Stylemaster position, you must have been active in the arena in 4
of the prior 6 turns including the last one (2 of the last 3 for Crysalis). (Thus,
you'll want to activate your warriors before the week of July 23rd, to be safe.)
Should a team not be able to qualify all 10 warriors, they may select wildcard
entrants to fill those empty slots. However, they must have at least 7 different
styles represented AND no more than 2 of any style. Should they not be able to
meet this criteria, their team will be filled with NPCs.
Each manager may only play for 1 region and may qualify no more than 3 warriors on
a regional team. They may play a 3rd warrior only if everyone else who wants to
participate already has 2 and/or there is no other option. A manager may not have
more than 1 warrior of the same style on the regional team.
Q: What's a Regional Coordinator?
A: The Regional Coordinator is the unofficial "team captain": They are in charge of
putting together their team based on the rules, trying to make sure everyone is
included and that any disputes are handled. (For instance, if someone qualifies
more than 2 warriors, the regional coordinator will work with that manager and
determine which warriors will participate on the team, and then notify
replacements, etc.)
The Regional Coordinators are: Manager (Andorak), Buri(Darkholm), The Dark One
(Free Blades), Crip (Crysalis), Master Darque (Unnamed No Tourney Arena), One Arm
Bandit (Home Guard). If you need to contact them, you can write a personal ad in
the ADM arena, or send a diplo to them at:
Manager: Superior Forces in DM 105
The Dark One: Angels of Pain in DM 103
Buri: Tackle Box in DM 104
One Arm Bandit: Sea Dogs in DM 101
Crip: Royal Flush in DM 106
Master Darque: Darque Ages in DM 81
Q: What does happen if someone qualifies more than 2 warriors?
A: That manager will be able to decide which 2 to send (or, if there are no other
options, the manager may send 3--see above) and the next highest qualifying warrior
will be able to take place of the warrior that doesn't get sent if it's an
automatic spot. It's definitely a good idea to communicate with your team
coordinator and fellow teammates. Remember, even though you are fighting for
qualification spots, you all still want to put together a competitive team! (All
of the captains treat this as an inclusive event so it's unlikely anyone will
completely get left out in the cold.)
Q: What if my warriors are not in ADM regional? Or, what if they are in the wrong
ADM regional?
A: If your warriors are in 100, or are in the wrong region, and they haven't fought
since the split, you can request to CSR to have them moved into the proper
regional arena.
Q: Is there a prize?
A: Bragging rights!

SPY REPORT
Hail CHIMLEVTAL! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as AVENGERS is pushed out
of top team by NUMBERS GAME, who came from 2nd with a 3-0-1 this turn. The ALL NIGHT
LONG guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never
know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, CIRCA 1968 fought SHO and
gained 15 points and contributed to NUMBERS GAME's 3-0-1. BLONDIE has lost to
XANDAR, falling 11 points, while helping make JUST DESSERTS a 1-2-0 turn. Defending
his title for another turn, SNORTY MCSNORT kept MIDDLE WAY 7's warrior, OMBERT QURL,
from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? SHO has departed CHIMLEVTAL, leaving AVENGERS without their 8-8-0
warrior. Question, just what was his team doing at the taverns last night?
Congratulations go out to MIDDLE WAY 7, with LUMUS NELP revenging a bloodfeud against
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE of JUST DESSERTS. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the
graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in CHIMLEVTAL, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in CHIMLEVTAL again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Paella -- Nope... on your butt 'cause I drove you from here to Tuesday... whoop
whoop! But not as much as Mousse did. Huh? -- White Line Fever
Ombert -- Way to get me ready for the tourney. I was horrible. -- Snorty
Snorty -- Well, OF COURSE you could hear your sword hitting my head. I have a head
like an empty keg, everyone says it, and you know how empty kegs echo. -- Ombert
OU812 -- Yeah, lame, isn't it? Should be a medium shield, but we used that as a
platter to carve a roast a couple of months ago, and I can't get the grease off it.
-- Lumus Nelp
P.S. And Jorja SAYS that it's so hard to get a strat change through for a run-
Saturday game, it isn't worth trying. Of course, she isn't the one out here with the
small shield.
Snorty McSnort -- Dang, I *told* them that I'd give up the title FOR GOOD, and they
won't listen. -- Ombert Qurl, reluctantly in a title fight
Vip Section -- Why am I not surprised? Jorja told me I was "destined to lose a lot,"
and that kind of thing, she usually gets right. -- Mandin Orle
OU812 -- Embarrassing, but not surprising. That's one of the curses of the Small
Arena Syndrome, that quite mediocre gladiators advance a lot faster than they should
and then can't hold their own. -- Mandin Orwell
P.S. The other curse, according to her, is "hollow graduates," gladiators who've
never really been tested in Basic.
AND, a lack of personals. Don't forget that one. -- Jorja
Pancakes -- But... I *like* pancakes! Why are you doing this to a favorite food? --
Lumus Nelp
Chocolate Mousse -- Ah, but what a way to go! -- Ghost of Paella Rill

Announcing!
The No-Tourney ADM arena will be opening for business on the
first of August of this year!
