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.

Thank you, Nolls.

So one of the three-for-all battles is Twin Goddesses vs. Peachikkas vs. TIA Operatives. May the wind be at all our backs.

The scoreboard doesn't seem to be updating for the four teams involved in the four-way matchup.

It seems Shanghai dislikes everyone that strands there xD. Anyways, maybe tomorrow, I'll get me final clue xD. I hope everything still goes swell for the rest? :D

In the spirit of name calling, Breitkat and I will be known as

******(imagine fanfare, fireworks, etc) ******

Two Flatfoots and a Cat

(imagine collective "ugh, what?")

Peter, Breitkat, and Puss n Boots exit stage left, heads held high.

Names of teams updated as far as I have understood.

The scoreboard is not updating for the four teams involved in the four-way matchup???? - well.... it looks like that....

Detailed analysis made it clear that I had missed on putting in the start-date... When I updated to May-3 in 2011 (not in 2010), people seems to be "flowing in" again... :-S

Only problem I cannot do something with is for those who have gone through Cairo, and are finished with the city... :-(

Would it be possible to get help through Riza on finding out if I need to update someone there? I am very sorry for the problems I have created :-(

As we're on the honor system, I did not go through Cairo on this hunt.
