Greetings everyone!

The pleasantries have been dealt with in Round One of the tournament and the fires of competition burn strong and fierce! After a tough round of tussles we are left with Four final contestants in the running for the top prizes! Please welcome your Final Four:

1) Finishing top with 6 points, boasting a 3-0 win-loss ratio, the Fiery Furies Azlyn and Asteyr!

2) In second place with 4 points are the sneaky Mischievous Miscreants - Jaidyn and Mystor!

3) Coming in third are the gun toting, gauntlet throwing hulks of Solo Harmony - Khal and Mairon!

4) Last but not least are the tactically ever changing double-'O' Three - Ata and Ibo!!

A round of applause please for Aphra, Valincora, Erni, and Holgorath from Big Beak Energy and FGSOM for their valiant efforts so far, but this is where we say goodbye to them in the competition - better luck next time!

On to ROUND TWO -
Upper Bracket - Team AA & Team MM
Lower Bracket - Team SG & Team 003

I realize there was a typo in the original announcement regarding the Grand Finals so here are the proceedings:
Round 2 will be elimination round in Best of 3, double elimination format.
The winner of the Upper Bracket will move on to the Grand Finals, with the loser moving on to the Lower Bracket (part 2).
The winner of the Lower Bracket (part 1) will fight the loser of the Upper Bracket, and the loser of this Lower Bracket (part 1) will be knocked out.
The winner of Lower Bracket (part 2) will move on to the grand finals, and the loser of Lower Bracket (part 2) will take third place.

In the Grand Finals, the Winner of the Upper Bracket will need to win ONE set of a best of three to win the tournament. The winner of the Lower Bracket (part 2) needs to win TWO sets of best-of-threes to firstly knock the other finalists into the Lower Bracket, and then to eliminate them.

Round two will take place over the next two months. (// deadline will be 24 January 2020 0000GMT)

Remember to record your fights and submit the results to me for loggigng!

Good luck, and may the best team win!!
