Classic-Style Polymorphic Slugfest (March 30 update)

[prismsaber]

Congrats to Juke and theelkspeaks for being the first to win matches. The rest of the series' are too early to call. As soon as we get a round 2 matchup solidified I will generate the round 2 maps line-up.

An update on the first round: there's a couple series that are getting close to declaring a winner.

There are a couple others that are going at a snail's pace. I was thinking originally each match would take about 10 days to finish but maybe that was too optimistic.

Would it be too much to ask certain participants to take more turns? It would be nice if the tournament didn't take 5-6 months to complete.

I feel called out, hehe.
I have had a huge gameload, and not had time to take more then 1 turn a day, but I will try to at least take 2-3 a day now.
I hope thats ok?

2 turns a day would be great. Your match isn't even the slowest. Don't mean to rush anyone but it'd be good to keep it moving along.

I secured my R1 win vs j1mathman, will be wrapped up in next 24 hours.

juke also advanced from that side of bracket, we may start quarterfinals if ready.

Congrats on advancing.

Earlier today juke requested that his next round start April 2 because of a personal event in his life. I chose to accommodate his request because he is one of the faster turn-takers and I don't think a delay in that series will slow the tournament as a whole. I hope that's ok.

The 2nd round map pool has been generated (see 2nd post of thread) and I'll be sending out the invites to the first lower bracket participants.

Good luck to all. I expect someone will make an epic run in the lower bracket.

Kingm has knocked me down with a 4-0 start in our round 1 matchup!

I'll see him in the finals though

Congrats to Kingm for advancing in the upper bracket.

Bracket updated on post 2.

The remaining matches are getting closer to a finish.

One thing I'm monitoring is YouOnKazoo has missed some turns yesterday. If he misses too many, I might just disqualify him. Arbitrary, I know, but it's my tournament and I'm the one forking cash over to the winner.
