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.

Arch Villain Captured!
The notorious criminal Benton "Black Thumb" Boucher was brought to justice by Andrew Corelli after a painstaking hunt in which the heroic detective successfully tracked the villain around the world.
- and since my better half went through Cairo, we are going on to the next round, together with Peachikkas!!! YAY!!!

The notorious criminal Wily Cassandra Hruby was brought to justice by Vulkie3 after a painstaking hunt in which the heroic detective successfully tracked the villain around the world.
- finally, after a bunch of repetitive clues -.0. I wish Meadowfire and Peter O'Neil the best of luck, since I know they're also in their last cities (hopefully). And that we may battle eachother again xD

The start date for Round 3 will be Tuesday May 10 at 0:00 Sleuth Server Time, due to ongoing VHs and therefore pending match-ups for the next round.
MeadowFire, here is the link to the scoreboard. The results from this round are on the bottom half of the page.

Looks like a tie for my team and Breitkat's team. I'll be glad to battle once more to these excellent detectives!

While I realize this will not make a difference to the outcome (since even if my silent partner captures today, the best we can score is 8), I believe I went through Cairo on my hunt yet the -1 adjustment was not applied. Perhaps this has something to do with the confusion with scorekeeping in the first days?
Again, I know it will not affect the outcome. Just sharing as an FYI to Irene. Thanks so much for your hard work on making Sleuthville a better place to be.

I updated Magistrate Cruella Chandler to have gone through Cairo. It's a challenge that I posted that those who had been through Cairo, before I managed to update the start of the group to be this year, I got no information about someone whom I had missed Cairo for...
When the tracker IS working, to have your trip through Cairo registered, it is imperative that someone looks at the scoreboard while your detective page reads Active (Cairo), as it is when the page is looked at, the updates is done. Noone is looking, means that noone knows about the cities people are in.
As for links, it is also possible to look at the scores on this page:
http://playsleuth2.com/Noir/bonus/Scores/brackets.spy?id=4
that are meant to have some kind of braket like view of the match.
(I am the first one to say I am not really satisfied with the layout of this page, but I am not really sure how to make it better. :-S I do want to have some kind of layout that will scale for at least 3 rounds... Help and suggestions are welcome.

Thank you Irene and Announcer for making this scoreboard. I do have a question though...I failed my hunt on the first day of this second round and I don't see that reflected on the score board.
You can see on Active hunts that I am now on day 4 of my hunt, not 5:

Thank you for looking into this for me!
Kind regards!

Hi MeadowFire :-)
I am sorry that your failed hunt seem to be gone, and not reflected on the scoreboard.
When it comes to your active hunt, while it started May-4, the days will be counted from the official start date. i.e. May-3.
Therefore you are seen as on day 5 of your hunt.
This is the price for a failed hunt (lost time).
