There were 3 Regions and 7 Managers still left in the hunt for the big prize. Well, technically, there was no prize, but any time the room was filled with a bunch of managers, you had a group of the most overly competitive people, many of whom would stop at nothing to win. The Crysalis team was packing up and ready to go. Their last two warriors had been eliminated in the previous round. While they were understandably dissappointed, they reminded everyone that it was only their first regional tourney and things moved slow enough there that most of their entire team would likely still be around once the next Regional Tournament rolled around. The Home Guard team was eliminated as well. But most of their managers were only expecting a short stay and had only packed beer anyway. They took great pleasure in starting a tailgate right outside the manager's lounge and distracting those that were left in the contest. The remaining teams huddled together in three different corners of the managers' lounge. The atmosphere was like a run-off of a tournament. Done were a lot of the mind games of the earlier rounds, it was all about having a good strategy and having the best warrrior now. The bell for the fourth rounded sounded. Manager's Aimed Blow Death Fog was up against the Jolly's Slasher in Cooler. Both have been winning impressively in the past three rounds, Death Fog went into the tourney as one of the contenders, but Cooler had been turning heads with some big victories in early rounds. After a closely fought battle, it was Death Fog who was the first participant in the Final 4. A Delarquan vs. Free Blade battle was up next. TUM's Harv, a bare-handed Aimed Blow who had an impressive resume in the Challengers and higher, was up against Natas, one of the many talented Lungers being run by the Dark One. In a classic, Lunger vs. Fist Aimer Battle, it was Harv who walked away the winner. Two possibly unlikely warriors were up next. Vision, Kellumbo's Total Parry, was up against the plucky Gossamer. Aragorn's Wall of Steel was now the unlikely sole survivor from his team. After a grueling 8 minutes, it was Vision who was the victor. Gossamer's loss signaled the elimination of the Free Blade team, meaning the next regional Champ would come from Andorak or Darkholm. Littlest Tyrant, TMM's Aimed Blow had drawn a bye, but still had to defat Captured Pirate Captain in order to secure his spot in the Final 4. It wasn't close, Littlest Tyrant won easily. Scoreboard: ------------------ Darkholm: 12- 5 (70.5) Andorak: 14-10 (58.3) Free Blades: 12-12 (50.0) Home Guard: 7-10 (41.1) Crysalis: 7-13 (35.0) Battle Report: --------------- DEATH FOG bested COOLER in a crowd pleasing 1 minute fight. NATAS was vanquished by HARV in a exciting 3 minute uneven Title battle. GOSSAMER was savagely defeated by VISION in a crowd pleasing 8 minute bloody duel. LITTLEST TYRANT overpowered CAPTURED PIRATE KING in a 2 minute one-sided fight. The Final 4 now had two warriors from Andorak vs. two warriors from Darkholm. The Final 4 matchups were: Death Fog (Manager) vs. Harv (TUM) Vision (Kellumbo) vs. Littlest Tyrant (TMM) * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 636): BALL PEIN of MANNEQUIN'S BEST (Mannequin, mgr.)

DM 72 DRAGONHEAD (turn 217): MYSTIQUE of BARBARIAN HORDE (?, mgr.) REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Managers and Warriors of Darkholm, good evening! SUPER BUM (82-18411) (121-51-2,234) of FLAT BROKE fought GREASY NAPKINS (82- 10156) (38-47-0,216) of REAL PIZZA FLAVOR. SUPER BUM bested GREASY NAPKINS in a crowd pleasing 3 minute Title fight. Mr. Bum also has the distinction of being our ONLY warrior not on either the Most Popular or Least Popular lists. Super is our top Total Parry, too. Speaking of Most Popular, that would be Mr. Cheap. And This Turn's Favorite is Crysoprase, because their fight was... well, I have to say it was one of the better fights you would see even in a much busier arena. It was close, the advantage went back and forth, people jumped over other people's sword swings, there were dramatic moments where first one warrior and then the other was down, and apparently beaten, but managed to get back up. CRACK IS CHEAP (82-18422) (77-92-0,189) of NEGATIVE CASH FLOW fought CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (77-103-2,152) of ILLFANG PACT. CRACK IS CHEAP luckily beat CRYSOPRASE in an exciting 8 minute brutal fight. Crysoprase is currently our best Parry-Striker. At the other end of the spectrum... the spectators really aren't crazy about Tina. I don't know why. She can be sharp-tongued, but overall she's a sweet enough young lady. And she didn't look THAT terrible out on the sands. Well... all right, a little bit terrible. Not her looks, she's pretty if you like blonds, but in her technique I mean. ETCHED IN STONE (61-3112) (149-55-1,209) of CEMENTIA fought TALLAHASSE TINA (7-4889) (33-90-0,163) of BEACH BABES. ETCHED IN STONE overpowered TALLAHASSE TINA in a 1 minute uneven duel. Darkholm seems to be doing well in the Regional Tourney! In Round 1, we scored 4-3, a .571 win percentage which was the best of all the competing arenas. Bloodbath of Crysalis beat Reddi Whip of Darkholm (TUM). Enlightened Being of Free Blades defeated Work in Progress (A-Sop) of Darkholm. Darkholm's Littlest Tyrant beat Nay Palm of Andorak. Darkholm's Harv (TUM) defeated Claudius of Free Blades. Hari-Kari, from Crysalis, was beaten by Cooler (Jolly) of Darkholm. Shadow out of Time, from Andorak, defeated Men Working from Darkholm. (A-Sop). In Round 2, Darkholm went 3 and 2, bringing the record to 7-4 with a percentage of 63.3, again the highest. By round 3, Darkholm had increased its advantage with to: 10-4 (71.4). And you all will see Round 4 at the same time as I will. It's time to go and watch the tourney. See you in the arena!
