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! * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 679): VERMOUTH of BOOZE (Papa Bear, mgr.)

Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, DARK HORSEMEN, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see TACK TACK win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, TACK TACK beat MANNY LEHMAN and MANNY LEHMAN lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, TRICORUS may be getting bland, as WHO stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, TRICORUS? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for TRICORUS' morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. What does the TRICORUS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!
