Dukasaur - why don't you join AT15.

Looks like I am the only freemium. I have another slot open and should be done with another game soon.

I can't. I was part of a team in this tournament, originally, one which didn't make it. We had to draw the line somewhere, and that somewhere was in people jumping from one team to another.

Update January 29th: To provide a permanent home for the Team Finale games, I have put everything together in Post 3 on page 1.

Thanks Pandemonium for suggesting it. I had completely forgotten that I reserved post 3 for that purpose.

Unless stated, I'm assuming each advancing team will keep the same map into the next round. Please post if you wish to change.

The tournament in its original version was supposed to allow for 2 GA medals, one for the individual who collected 16 bonuses, and one for the team who collected 21 bonuses. Obviously, nobody could qualify for those, since we didn't play the original number of maps. However, I was prepared to argue that since I reduced the tournament from 33 maps to 11 maps, we should also reduce the number of bonuses needed to qualify. My suggestion was 5 to qualify for the individual, and 7 to qualify for the team.

Yesterday one of the Tournament Directors asked me if anyone had qualified, and I realized I hadn't checked recently. So, here is the list:

show: bonuses held


As you can see, nobody has more than 4 individual, and checking against the teams, no team has more than 5. So, even if we reduce the criteria (and that would be a big "if". I couldn't do it on my own discretion; I would have to persuade the Tournament Directors that it's a good idea.) nobody qualifies. So, no GA medal.

The best that we can do is a good pat on the back for the people who came close.

Congratulations to Fairman and Seamus76, each of whom individually racked up 4 bonuses!

=D> =D> =D>

Congratulations to AT16 (general_c, jrbedwell, and rmjw10, plus others) who racked up a team total of 5 bonuses!

In the end, the other series was not as close as it looked.

Gael Force blew away the notyou2 team 3-0.

Okay, grand finale. Gael Force vs. AT10. Gael Force is the higher seed and gets their 2 maps, AT10 is the underdog and picks one map. Gael's home maps are Lunar War and South America, while AT10's map is also South America, so there will be two of those in the series.

Games have been created and invitations sent out! Good luck to all!

Medals all around, and 1 year premium divided four ways between the team, so three months each, unless someone decides to forego their prize and transfer it to someone else.
