I can't play today but I pm'd Chamomile that I'll look for him at a time of his choosing tommorow. Gonna try and squeeze this in!

Having not heard from Fizzxwizz at all, they will lose the match with szycag by default once everyone else has finished their matches, since it has been a full week. Here are the matches that still need to be done:

The_Armchair_General vs. Doctor Butler
SquireGrooktook vs. cham0mile
aeong vs. Kino

Everyone will have the extra time they need but please try to have your matches as soon as you can.

Does anyone know if Doctor Butler, aeong, or Kino has been heard from within the last week? Anyone who has not checked in with their opponent or posted in the thread for a full week will lose by default by the time everyone else is finished, just a warning! I will tentatively set the deadline for preliminary matches at July 19, at which point anyone who has not shown up will lose unless they ask for more time.

Nice work. The_Armchair_General may now challenge Zil, and trap15 may now challenge Doctor Butler.

I have seen Fizzxwizz on fightcade and talked to them, so hopefully I can get their match with szycag underway.

I JUST got into this game this week. It's sooooo fantastic, I love it, but I'm not in the pro leagues yet.

Here is a progress report on the prelims. July 19 is still the cutoff date for the matches listed in my first post. We're almost there! Second matches will tentatively have a cutoff date of July 26, and third matches will tentatively have a cutoff date of August 2. The one week rule remains in place, meaning a player who fails to respond for seven full days may automatically lose their match once all other matches with the same cutoff date have been finished. Please try to have your matches, everyone! Once the following matches are over, we can finally get this thing moving~!

In the top bracket, the remaining matches are:

3. szycag vs. Fizzxwizz (cutoff: July 19)
6. SquireGrooktook vs. cham0mile (cutoff: July 19)
9. Zil vs. The_Armchair_General (cutoff: July 26)
10. stardustreverie vs. Sprites7 (cutoff: July 26)
11. Keade vs. winner of 3 (cutoff: July 26)

In the bottom bracket, the remaining matches are:

12. ratikal vs. loser of 3 (cutoff: July 26)
14. trap15 vs. Doctor Butler (cutoff: July 26)
15. aeong vs. loser of 10 (cutoff: August 2)
16. loser of 9 vs. winner of 12 (cutoff: July 26)
17. zaarock vs. loser of 6 (cutoff: July 26)
18. loser of 11 vs. winner of 14 (cutoff: August 2)

SquireGrooktook is given the victory over cham0mile by default because the former is seeded higher and posted in the thread most recently. NeoStrayCat will be their next opponent. cham0mile receives an automatic victory over Domino, who dropped out, and will now face zaarock.

In the interest of keeping this thing moving, I am going to set a deadline of July 26 for all of the following matches yet to take place:

9. Zil vs. The_Armchair_General
10. stardustreverie vs. Sprites7
11. Keade vs. Fizzxwizz

12. ratikal vs. szycag (elimination match)
14. trap15 vs. Doctor Butler (elimination match)

If more time is needed, please request it; otherwise your match will be arbitrated like the one above. Please do your best, everyone!

Yay. Keade will face DJ Incompetent in the next round. Fizzxwizz will wait for the next opponent to be decided.

Ratikal PM'd me saying he's done with the tournament. I've kinda lost interest too but I guess I'm staying in. Anyways that makes me the winner of our match, who is my next?

Szycag, your next opponent will be decided when Zil and The_Armchair_General have their match. Ratikal is now out.

Zil's next opponent will be BrianC. The_Armchair_General's next opponent will be szycag. Once trap15 and Doctor Butler have their match, I will win against Sprites7 by default since I haven't heard from them in almost two weeks.

Hey, I'm still here, uncontested, I guess I'll wait until everyone else is done?

Cause honestly Seraph, this should have been done ages ago, but I know you're trying hard to get this tourney done ASAP, but oh well...things are rough it seems.
