Face off in a series of wintery 1v1s to earn snowballs and pummel your opponents into the snow!
The last person standing (that is, the last person with a life left) wins.
How It Works
Each player is given three "lives" represented by a cute little snowman: ☃
You lose a life when you are hit with a snowball.
You can receive exactly one snowball per round by winning one of no more than two 1v1 games. See below for specifics on rounds.
NOTE: If you play less than one or more than two 1v1 games in a round, you forfeit your chance of receiving a snowball and lose a life. If this becomes a recurring issue, you will be ejected from the tournament.
Once the announcement is made that all games in a round have been completed, PM sempaispellcheck the game number(s) of the game you won and the player you wish to hit with your snowball with the title of your PM as "Snowball". See below for specifics on throwing snowballs.
NOTE: You must send the PM within 72 hours of the announcement.
If you are hit three times with snowballs (thereby losing all of your lives) you are eliminated from the tournament and may not participate in any future rounds.
Rounds & Settings
All games will have a Round Limit of 20 and be Sequential, Escalating, Chained, Sunny.
The winter soon faded,
As spring came around,
and the sun quickly melted
The snow on the ground.
But the fight was not over,
The warriors knew.
So they waited for winter
Their war to renew.
But all of a sudden,
From the once-sunny sky,
White flakes began falling:
It was Christmas in July!
ROUND 4 BEGIN!
The maps for this round are Christmas, Antarctica, and Iceland. The password for all Round 4 games will be PM'd shortly.
PM sempaispellcheck all the game numbers of the games you won (whether it be one or two) and the player you wish to hit with your snowball with the title of your PM as "Snowball". NOTE: You must send the PM within 72 hours of this announcement.
When you receive a snowball, you may throw it at anyone. However, your odds of hitting someone are different depending on who you want to hit.
If you throw a snowball at a player you beat in a game that round, you have a 6 in 7 chance of hitting the player.
If you throw a snowball at a player you lost to in a game that round, you have a 4 in 7 chance of hitting the player.
If you throw a snowball at a player you did not play against that round, you have a 5 in 7 chance of hitting the player.
The results of the snowball throwing will be announced before the start of the next round, and all snowball throws will remain anonymous until then.
But this summer miracle
Could not last forever
So the snow soon gave way
To more summery weather.
Though the last snow had melted,
The warriors knew
There had to be some way
Their fight could continue.
Then one thought of something
He had once learned in school:
"While in New York it's hot,
In Sydney it's cool!"
So, while the birds all flew northward
The cold to avoid,
These brave souls fled southward
The snow to enjoy.
And each of them channeled
His inner Olympic sprinter
As he raced to the airport
Headed south...for the winter!
ROUND 5 BEGIN!
The maps for this round are Christmas, Greenland, and Woodboro (no longer winterized, unfortunately). The password for all Round 5 games will be PM'd shortly.
It has been one week since the start of Round 5, so all games not yet active have been dropped, and all players who did not join at least one Round 5 game have lost one life. new life totals

Now just over half
Of the warriors remained
Still battling it out
On the vast snowy plain
These are the ones
Who have shown their desire
And persist through the fury
Of foes' frozen fire
And as these brave souls
Rise to battle once more
Down from the heavens
The snowflakes, they pour
And “Glory to the victors”
Shouts cold winter's roar
ROUND 6 BEGIN!
The maps for this round are Christmas, Arctic, and Age of Realms 2: Magic. The password for all Round 6 games will be PM'd shortly.
REMEMBER: You may only join 2 games at most!
You will have a week to join your games.
It has been more than one week since Round 6 games were made, so all empty games have been dropped. 9 players did not join games in Round 6, so each of them has lost 1 life. 8 of those 9 players were eliminated from the tournament as a result. new life totals

Yes, you heard me. At this moment, I have neither the time nor the creativity to come up with another poem, and since they don't affect the tournament in any way (except to delay the start of each round), we'll go on without them.
