THE RACE TO DEFEND AMERICA [WINNER: wonderbeezz]

Congratulations to Wonderbeezz, champion and chief Defender of AMERICA!

Since I wasn't involved when this tourney was begun, I can't edit the first post of the main tourney thread. I think it will be useful to have this place to post updates. I agreed to help out when the original organizer had some scheduling conflicts

Bracket: It's a bit hard to read, but here it is anyway.

There are 6 Round 3 games remaining to be started. All 6 have 2 of the 3 participants determined. I'm going to go ahead and send PM's to those 12 (6 x 2) players, and the PM to the final player will go out as soon as it's determined who it is.

Round 1: 18 games complete
Round 2: 6 of 6 winner's bracket games complete
10 of 12 elimination bracket games complete, 2 running
Round 3: 0 of 2 winner's bracket games complete, 1 running, 1 starting up this weekend
1 of 8 elimination bracket games complete, 3 running, 2 more starting up this weekend

I'd love those last 2 Round 2 games to wrap up! XenCobra and astompel are my guesses, but neither has it wrapped up yet.

Yours (and 466966) is waiting on a 3rd player to come out of a Round 2 game that's not yet complete.

You keep an eye on 449434. Winner of that is your 3rd.

Stoney and Forza watch 449429. Winner of that is their 3rd.

pjdonald · Post by **pjdonald** » Sat Jun 09, 2007 5:49 am

I'm going out of town until the 16th. The remaining Round 3 games should still be able to start while I'm gone. Don 1 and joker, Timminz will take jedediahmjm's spot tomorrow if jed doesn't join before then.

Stoney and Forza get the winner of dragon dor/astompel/blackholetank. Unfortunately that one may go on a while yet.

neilhouse and red bull get the winner of serkencatal/xen cobra/john1099. That one seems a bit more likely to wrap up soon.

Game 466966 has disappeared. So what will happen? Will you make a new one?

Tournament games disappear after about 15 days if they haven't started yet. Same happened with my game.
I think 2 new games have to be made. When is this going to happen?

these interterminable round 2 games are amazing...

I'll resend the round 3 PM's as applicable when those games finish.

And the bracket isn't quite right; I'll update that later this afternoon.

I'd like to be a sub/reserve.

I still have not gotten the pm for this game, unless it was the one that Forza and I joined and the third player never showed up as far as I could tell. What happened? I've been waiting for a pm.

Sorry, that game was re-started on June 19 and finished on July 2. I sent you a PM on June 16 and you didn't respond for several days, so you were replaced.

The most recent pm that I have received is dated "04 Jun 2007 16:50":
"The Race to Defend America Round 3

The 3rd participant is not yet determined. Since you are not premium, if you need to wait to join the game until that is determined, please let me know. "

I joined the game but after many days without a third person the game disappeared. I am not concerned about getting back into the tournament, but there must have been some kind of mistake or glitch that might use some looking in to.

pjdonald · Post by **pjdonald** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 8:28 pm

I'm sorry Stoney that you got left out. I'm quite sure that I sent you a PM that I watched sit in my outbox for several days. I don't know - maybe I sent it to the wrong person? I either deleted it or it rolled off my message list, so I can't confirm; there is a stoney without the 229, so maybe I goofed that way.

Thanks for understanding.

As it should be, I suppose, the last 2 standing are wonderbeezz and wolfmaster. You can watch them duke it out in the finals in Game 711525.
