                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Take note that 
SKY HIGH has lost its top team spot, having missed the turn.  Where are you boys?  
Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is SKY 
HIGH, who swept up 14 places in the ranks.  Take a look at FEAR FACTORY 19's act, as 
they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 28 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks 
like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is SOME OLD B, who swept up 
27 places in the ranks.  Take a look at STUCK IN THE MUD's act, as they have a 1-0-0 
week and gain 31 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of 
armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is CONS III, who swept up 32 places in the 
ranks.  Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping from 14th to 33rd place were the 
WOS ADU.  Keep trying!  Take a look at TODAY TOO's act, as they have a 0-1-0 week and 
gain 14 places in the team ranking.  Hey everybody, watch out for THESE EYES, who 
flew up 131 points in the rankings after mashing KING OF FOOLS like a melon.  Keep 
your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  
CUT YOUR HAIR lost to STEADY DECLINE and drops 12 points.  Well, if ya don't shows up 
at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  HEMLOCK did not fight this week so 
his title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the THE GUESS WHO stable, as their 
warrior, THESE EYES, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  4 out of 5 gladiators 
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the BLACKSTONE arena.  And 
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid HAPPY SPRING XXIII, please raise you 
hand.  Wow.  Does BLACKSTONE really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be 
funny, but catch TODAY TOO's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft 
at running from HAPPY SPRING XXIII.  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, 
FIREWING PHOENIX would be president.  Although it may be a contest she doesn't want 
to win.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Knowing when to use the right tactics at 
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The 
Unknown Spymaster
