Welcome to the second Best of Friends tournament. This tourney is for people that are on my friends list, and to see who is the best player.

[people not on my friends list can also play if you wish]

The last tourney was over in record time and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves with some surprise results along the way.

The winner last time was 'Tellus', can he hold onto the title ?

The format this time has slightly changed with the best 2 from each group of 6 going through to the next round.

So have fun and I hope you will gain new friends as well.

Mark

aka Chuggerboom

For those that weren't in Chuggerboom's first Best of Friends tourney, I can tell you that it was thorougly enjoyable. Good luck to all who've registered in BoF2! Here's one show where the sequel might be even more fun than the original. Cool
