The final tournament of TPA Season 3! The intended name of this tournament was "Lonesome George, more than just a symbol of the Galapagos" a line taken from the article "A farewell from a friend," reproduced in the spoiler below. That is, of course, too long for a tournament name, so we'll just call it "Symbol of the Galapagos" for short, or just "Symbol" if you're of a really, really impatient nature.
