The tournament will be in knockout format. If your team loses, you're out! If your team wins, you advance to the next round! You will of course have the same partner for the duration of the tournament, so choose wisely! Teamwork is important! Please decide on who you want your partner to be in this forum. (I recommend that you wait for more people to join before deciding on teams) Anybody who wants to be in the tournament must sign up here by August 24. As usual, you may discuss gameplay strategy and moves with your partner through private messages. The amount of rounds in the tournament will be based on the amount of people who sign up. Pairings for the first round will be decided by a random number generator.

Ok. You just gotta make sure it's OK with him first.

THE ALMIGHTY RANDOM NUMER GENERATOR HAS SPOKEN!!! His great Majesty proclaims that team 1 shall play team 4. Which puts 2 and 3 together as well.
