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!

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Welcome to Dragonhead and the Middle Way sweepstakes. Who will it be this turn?
Can I maintain my winning streak against them? It's pretty exciting here in
Dragonhead. Assur has been expanding fast and furious as he intends this to be his
training facilities for his growing tourney roster.
My only disappointment is that this expansion does not seem to include any
increase in the consumption of milk, let alone whole milk. He says individuals can
include or exclude milk as part of the diet by their own decisions. I think he's
making a mistake. Milk should be a part of any major training program diet. And I
think it should be WHOLE milk.

SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DRAGONHEAD,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing is certain in DRAGONHEAD, with
changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--MIDDLE WAY
9. MIDDLE WAY 9 had cause to celebrate, after ROMOR SAITH got 16 points by beating
VETERAN MERCENARY. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice
more, after losing 3 points to KHALHUMS DWARF. (Discrete enough, TORANS ULRIK?)
NAEFAN ORDH found out that DRAGONHEAD isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to
be Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in DRAGONHEAD is using psychics to predict
wins. They lead a charmed life!
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... The audience gave a
nice round of rasberries to ATLAS of LHC, for expiring in such an ungraceful fashion.
2-17-0, indeed! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after
you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DRAGONHEAD farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Whole Milk -- At least you're close to the real thing. But only close, four percent.
REAL milk, straight from the cow, is likely to be more like TEN percent or even MORE.
Kinda rich, though, but... good for gladiators. It isn't like we have to worry about
a sedentary life leading to clogged arteries. -- Naefan Ordh
One and one against standbys. Okay. -- Romor Saith and Louie Murh
Tenzin Gyatso -- What the heck! Somebody's been messing with my strategy, looks like
an input error to me. So I won, it's still an input error. Not going to be fixed
this time, but maybe next time out. -- Torans Ulrik
Destined 2 Die -- But not soon enough. -- Ronarda Sola

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

entertained through the months of August and September.
