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:

*mutters to self* "Where has that darned wanderer gone?"

*looks up and sees Ctown reporting his recent capture as though he were still in the tournament*

"Ctown, just what are you doing? We are not in the tournament anymore. Our part in it is done aside from hosting it, for the time being. DPI cannot be the winner." Lil scolded.

The crowd is getting restless. It's been 4 days and no-one knows the state of play. Then suddenly, a cry starts in the Northeast corner. "Admiral Luther Zhou has been caught!" The crowd cheers, the first villian has been apprehended! The giant screen flashes for the whole arena to see:

-May-29-2008 03:02
-Arch Villain Arrested!
-The notorious criminal Admiral Luther Zhou was brought to justice by latsujca.-

Then, just as quickly, the screen flashes again:

-May-29-2008 03:41
-Arch Villain Arrested!
-The notorious criminal Conrad "the Spider" Cain was brought to justice by Miss Rochelle.-

The crowd roars!!! Sirens are 2 up and TIA are nowhere to be seen! Corks pop, champagne flows, the bookies are doing a roaring trade, even the kids are betting chocolate coins!
The TIA supporters are not to be outdone, they start a rumour that TIA are closing in, and sure enough, another message soon flashes up:

-May-29-2008 04:24
-Arch Villain Nabbed!
-The notorious criminal Cruella "the Shadow" Malatesta was brought to justice by Mitstux.-

"Mistux we love you!!" cries an ecstatic fan from the bleachers. As the minutes drag on the noise in the arena rises to deafening levels.

-May-29-2008 04:25
-Arch Villain Captured!
-The notorious criminal Theodorus "the Beetle" Minx was brought to justice by Agatha!.-

Fans throw popcorn at each other, the cold beer ran out so the hot beer guy now has some business. Everyone is sitting on the edge of their seat, even the commentators are sweating so much they have to change their shirts... twice.
The morning stretches on...and on...
...Several hours later:

-May-29-2008 06:46
-Arch Villain Arrested!
-The notorious criminal Anastasia "the Razor" Dimitrijevic was brought to justice by turtledove.-

The TIA supporters are dancing in their seats, a streaker runs right past the Sirens camp only narrowly missing being thumped!
The Sirens crowd are on tenterhooks, what has happened to their beloved V Buster? The tension builds...

May-29-2008 10:53

I can't believe I missed the streaker!!!

I would like to start off by Congratualting TIA. WEll played tourney, you all ran the table. We all look forward to a rematch. A prize for your hard effort will be coming shortly. This was alot of fun to participate it and run.

I would also like to thank all that played in the tourney, hope you all had a blast and will participate in more tourneys in the future. Right now it looks like we may be plainning another for sometime after July 4th. This gives everyone a chance to unwind on the cruise ship for a bit, and us to get another planned with details and such. In the meantime, lets hear some thoughts on the tourney.

Did you like double elimination or would you prefer single elimination? What about the number of teams? more or less? We are already working on another tiebreaker but any more ideas are welcome. The next one will be an open invitation as compared to this past one that was by invite only. This will allow the entire community to play.

I also want to give a special thank you to Serges and biggie for all the hard work the two of them did on the AVL site, it was their hard work and ingenuity that made this whole thing possible. Without them we wouldn't have had the inspiration to this, so a big round of applause for them.
