Fireborn's 2nd Tournament: Resolved at Last
Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2008 1:52 pm
Before we begin I'd just like to give due credit to Andrew Fireborn. This tournament is his, not mine. I'm simply running the fights. He came up with the tournament system, he balanced it, and he took the time to wade through each and every one of 21 entries to make sure they were following the rules. He is the true Tournamentator, and I believe he should be remembered as such...
As you probably know, Fireborn started a second tournament after the success of his first. Unfortunately, he vanished just after starting the actual fights. This is where I come in. I will carry out these fights in a random seed round robin format, where the opponents in each series of fights are determined randomly through the use of a random digit generator...

Each ship will fight each of its opponents twice, once as the 'ally' and once as the 'enemy'. If there is no winner, a tiebreaker round will be carried out in which I will determine who will play the 'ally' and who will play the 'enemy' through the use of the virtual coin toss...
