Greetings, fellow Sleuths! The time has come once again for the annual Sleuthville Arch-Villain Hunt Tournament, where experienced detectives and newcomers alike come together to show off their villain-nabbing skills and make the city a safer place. What better way to spend a hot summer day than with a little friendly competition?

The format will be 16 detectives, randomly paired off into teams of two by a third party, to face one other team. (This hunt will go forward only if there are enough players participating [16]. If not, the tournament will be cancelled altogether.)

The rules:

- As soon as you are matched up with your partner, please POST your team name on this thread.
- Either PM me or POST here as soon as possible if you find that your hunt goes through Cairo, so I can keep accurate records.
- In the spirit of competition, trash-talking is allowed and encouraged, just as long as it is friendly and appropriate.
- You may not PM me to ask for any AVH hunt help or advice.
- If you are unable to compete in a round for whatever reason, you are allowed to ask someone to sub in for you for that round only. This privilege may only be used once per team, and only in emergencies. The player who is subbing in for you may be anyone who is not competing in the current round, even someone who was not initially entered in the competition.
-You bear the responsibility of making sure your partner shows up. No replacements are allowed in this case.

You may:
-Travel to Shangri-La the night before, but NOT start the hunt
-Use a Compact 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.

I reserve the right to disqualify any player from this competition at any time for breaking any of the rules or for behaving inappropriately. All final decisions rest with me.

Due to pending hunts, the Round 3 matches will begin on **Tuesday, June 18 at 0:00 server time.**

Miss Hawkeye would like to release the following statement regarding the article in the City News.
*pulls out a piece of paper*
Err, it seems that she's just spit on this note. Well, that's that then.

This extremely attractive announcer would also like to ask Miss Talbot to please stop upstaging him so he can keep his job. That is all.

Gloyp! I'm sorry, Dashing, I have a *lot* of free time...well, that's going to change pretty soon, so, you can keep your job :)

Still, it's hardly *my* fault, is it? You bring pieces of paper like that, what do you expect? You wanna keep your job, report something other than the parings for a change!

That is all ;)

The notorious criminal Narcisse "the Giant" Scroggs was brought to justice by Breitkat after a painstaking hunt in which the heroic detective successfully tracked the villain around the world.

Yes we went through Cairo, and a lovely city it is...

By the by, Squirrel. 99 to 1? Where's my payoff? I'll take it in bacon, so i can start stocking up to lead my glorious partner around by the nose again. Or tuna of course... ;0) L

Um Mr. Announcer, I know that you think that you are being considerate but being dragged out at midnight on my birthday to go freeze my toucas off in some Nepalese goatherder's hut is NOT my idea of a good time. Send cake! (and ice cream for the cat, no chocolate or berry please). Breit
