Hey all. I think we've got a decent turn-out here, and I'm going to give you the rules, and the matches. The rules are pretty simple, though I had to modify thema bit to fit the number of people we have in this. Edit: Another issue I was just made aware of, it'll be in whichever ships you agree on, or TIE Interceptors, if you can't agree on another ship. Each person will host for the usual 5/5. In the case of a tie, you will play until the next kill. Lagging out must be reported within two minutes of match starting, too.

EDIT: btw, I forgot to mention, don't submit matches through the database. Round One, the losing member will email me the following information: (XvT/XWA -- whichever Bracket the score is for) Match Number: Player 1 v. Player 2 (mark the winner with a (W) by their name, and final score. For example, if I had played Yacks, and he won, it'd be XWA Match 12: Yacks (W) v. Sith Bloodfyre 12-10. My email is [Log in to view e-mail addresses]. If you mail me a screenshot, I'll be really happy, too.

First Round matches are single elimination; you win, or you're out. Those who win move onto the second round, where they will be placed in groups of three persons. In Second Round play, you can only play each person in your group twice, and you need to accumulate three wins.

Just by way of example, if we have players (X), (Y), and (Z) in a trio, (X) gets 2 wins from (Y), 2 wins from (Z); he has his three, he moves on. Yes, I know, it's possible for two people from each trio to move on. I'm accounting for that.

I'll announce the rules for Third Round (and possibly a Fourth Round, perhaps) when it comes to that, just because it'll depend on how many people we have left. However, I'd like to announce the matches. We had a total of 22 people sign up, many for both, and we have 17 people in the XvT Bracket, and 18 people in the XWA Bracket. That's a great turn-out, and I hope you'll all have fun. Up for grabs are a squadron of TIE Defenders for the Clan of the First Place person in each Bracket, and a personal fighter for the top three in both Brackets.

Round Two will consist of the following trios:
Winners of (Matches 1, 2 and 3), (Matches 4, 5 and 6), (Matches 7, 8, and 9).

I'll be putting out the list of personal fighters available for the top three of each Bracket once we get to Round Three. Games start tomorrow, and you have a 72-hour cushion should you need it, to play your matches. However, the faster matches are played, the faster this competition ends, the faster you and your Clans get your ships. Have fun!
