Ahoy mates! Well, sign-ups are now officially closed, and its time to get ready to compete! First off, I have just a few announcements to make;
ALL COMPETITORS - I just realized, this Sunday is actually Super Bowl Sunday. Seeing as how most will be busy that day (including myself)
the contests will begin Saturday, February 6th, other than the 7th.
Allow pirates that were part of Dockwrecker's "Project Oblivion" SvS Team - Due to the fact there were no other teams that signed up, you all have been split up, and put in to the Singles competition.
Now then, the following is a list of all the events, how they will work out, and when.
PvP tournament - Seeing as how we have an odd number of competitors, I decided to set things up a little differently. Instead of setting up a standing system, there will be a series of Mayhem matches. In each match, you will be judged on how well you ranked. Each match, the person ranked last will be eliminated. This will be done until there is only 1 pirate standing.
Ganging up on other pirates is NOT allowed!! The tournament will be the first event, starting and ending on Saturday, February 6th. ***See bottom of thread for exact time***
SvS Tournament - The rules have not changed, and can be found on the front page of the thread. Here is the list of those pirates participating, and on which team they will start:
Spanish
Aaron McEagle
Jag Wire Jones

Will Swordcastle
capt. gunkidd
French
The Skirata Clan
Swash II
Dockwrecker the Privateer
Capt. Seafury
(One other pirate may be dropped in)
This event will BEGIN on the 6th, right after the PvP Tournie, and end at a later date.

I ask that each team discusses prior to the event who will be Captain, and who will be the flag. If you would like to wear team colors to lessen confusion, that would be accepted and appreciated
