Well it never took off over on the AVL site, so Dawg Pound Investigations is proud to announce that we will be holding a tournament. lilangel and myself have been working the past few weeks to get enough teams interested and finally have them together. If all goes well, there will be more tournaments to follow which we will make open to all agencies. Our tournament will begin on Monday, April 14 and will be 4 or 5 rounds. details can be viewed here:

Any questions feel free to PM me. We will also use this thread for any trash talking that the players want to begin with. Let the fun begin! :-D

Sorry, I figure this way, the roster between rounds being blanked out would show that I don't have roster changes for the teams. I do have the original roster on my computer. I can foster it as such, to changing things now for the roster to show the team possibilities and leave the round matchups blank to show who's given their teams if that's what would be clearer.

Ok, now, to poll the participants (past and present) for future tournaments...

--> Roster of 5 to remain the same throughout the entire tournament
OR
--> the entire agency roster (well, those who are able to VH at any given time) to represent throughout the entire tournament but only 3 can play in one given match

I prefer for each agency to nominate a roster up front for the entire period. I don't know that the roster needs to be limited to 5 however.

My main reason for nominating upfront, is to prevent someone being recruited to an agency mid tournament specifically to help out with the tournament.

Worst case scenario is a team being eliminated and then their best player switching agencies for the remainder of the tournament. While I don't think that anyone is planning on doing anything like this, it's best if the rules are clear on the subject upfront, and prevents an uproar mid tourney when someone tries it and states correctly that it's not against the rules.

I agree with V Buster. Not many other competitions don't require a team roster to be decided beforehand. It doesn't have to be (limited to) 5 though.

I also agree and that is a scenario we have looked at, one thing that we are doing, while it is unofficial, is not having our latest recruit, Aunt Pittypat play in the tourney for us, she she was not a member of the agency at the beginning or the tourney. I think everyone will understand that, roster changing between rounds I think is fine as long as the det is back to his/her agency before the next round starts. This allows for dets to visit other agencies to deliver items they would like to trade/donate to other agencies.

I do want to play in the next tournament. Us old ladies get bored just sitting around the agency, baking cookies and pinching cheeks.

Ok teams, we are close to the start of Round 3 don't forget to get those rosters in to Lil or myself!

Happy Hunting all! :-D

Just 2 short hours away until the launch of round 3, I bet the anticipation is just killing everyone.

2 teams will get eliminated this round and will join Wish on the sidelines, one team will get a 2 round break as we head to the 2nd half after this round. Who will they be? Stayed tuned for the answers to this question.

Rumor has it, the Sirens are pulling out all the stops, but I can't confirm any of that, or can I? :-P
