Attention ladies and gentlemen, at the request of several players, I am proud to announce the Sleuthville AVH Tournament 2011! *trumpets blare and streamers fly*

The format will be 16 detectives, randomly paired off into teams of two by a third party, to face one other team. For this competition, players going through Cairo will have a day taken off their totals. The winning team will be the one with the lowest combined number of days for hunt completion. Failed hunts will not count against you. You will not be disqualified. If you fail your hunt and would like to start another, you may, but the day count will start from the official start date of the round. Irene will be tracking progress using her new program, so this can be considered as further testing.

The rules:

You may:
-travel to Shangri La the night before, but NOT start the hunt
-use a travel kit
-use head of faction privileges
-use agencies and apartments to swap gear

You may not (enforced only by the honor code):
-use sidekick cases (for either clues or travel)
-enter second/third detectives, etc.

The winning team(s) from each round will go on to the next round until a winning team is determined. In the case of a tie, both teams will move on to compete in a triple threat pair matchup. The last team standing wins. Anyone who would like to join, please POST here. Participants will be gathered on a first-come, first-served basis. The first matches will start on Monday, April 25, 2011.

Each following round of the competition will start on the next Monday at 0:00 sleuth server time, unless one of the matches takes longer than expected. In that case things will be adjusted accordingly and you will be updated as soon as possible.

The start date for the next round will be postponed 24 hours, due to current pending VHs and score calculation issues.

Finally... - it's in the details... :-S

Now the tracker also calculates the score for each team.
Where there is one who have not yet 'Captured' of various reasons, that team member is given 20 as a 'score'. - due to my intention of not giving any incentament for people to fail their AVH.

Notice though that this part is not confirmed with Riza yet, it's just my idea of how it can be done, put into action. If Riza wants changes, I will update to her request :-)

The notorious criminal Countess Sarvamata Kaloyenov was brought to justice by Breitkat after a painstaking hunt in which the heroic detective successfully tracked the villain around the world.

I figured out who to capture for Breit! I CAN NOT believe i did that. How in the name of Missy's socks did i do that???? (Do you get the idea that this is an uncommon occurrence for me? Because IT IS!!!!)

Thanks to Vulkie for the encouragement! You kept me from feeding the computer to the rottweiler.

And to the others who successfully captured, CONGRATULATIONS to you!!!!

Have fun all! & have a good weekend!

Not Breit

Yes, a lower sum of days is better than a higher sum of days :-)

That is completely correct MeadowFire.

Seems like quite some teams ended up to tie. - next round will be interesting :-)

*Pokes his head into the arena after a looooooong hibernation*
*Strolls around seeing contestants running, sitting in exhaustion, coughing (get well soon Breit), beating their chests or jumping up and down in joy*
*Remembering the good ol' days and smiled*

Wow congratulations and good luck to those who made the first cut! Great goings! Most importantly, have fun!

*Disappears. Going back to his hibernation*

Hi all!

Just making sure we'll get a heads up when 2nd round starts so we can head to Shangra La the night before (and not use up cases).

Thanks!

SPECIAL thanks to those who sponsor these tourneys!!!!
