Greetings, people of Sleuthville! The time has come once again for the annual Sleuthville Arch-Villain Hunt Tournament. This year, in an attempt to change things up a bit, I’m happy to announce the return of the one-on-one matchups! Oldies and newcomers alike are welcome to participate. What better way to stave off boredom than a little friendly competition?

The format will be 16 detectives, each randomly paired off by a magic baseball hat to face one other person. For this competition, players going through Cairo will have a day taken off their totals. The fastest player(s) from each round will go on to the next round until a winner is determined. In the case of a tie (same day capture), both players will move on to compete in a triple threat matchup. 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. The last one standing wins.

The rules:
- 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, 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, 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 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

Congratulations pengueener! Since pengu went through Cairo, that's Mortimer eliminated from the contest; even if he finishes up today. My commiserations Mortimer, I have it on good authority that you've gotten further in this contest than any 'newer player' has before you, so I hope that provides some comfort.

Therefore only thing left standing in pengueener's way is the rather formidable Sal Iva, depending of course on whether he has hit Cairo, or is going to hit Cairo later today. He's got a history in this competition of solving his hunts right before the server closes for the day, most famously wiping Bela out of the competition with two minutes to go.

Until told otherwise I'm going to believe this could go either way. And a mighty fine and suspenseful belief it is too.

I failed to catch my villain in my last city. Rushing is bad for the portfolio.
Congratulations pengueneer. Sal went to Cairo already.
It was a nice contest and I am glad I was part of it, reaching the final.
Thank you all for encouragements and supporting my progress!
Good luck to you all!

Since, I'm apparently the first to KNOW, let me also be the first to congratulate, pengueener, AVH tournament winner. Great going. you're a fantastic champion. :)

I will need two more clues to solve in my last city and I'm fresh out of cases.

I must say this was an intense and extremely competitive tournament and a whole lot of fun to be a part of. Excellent showing by everyone. I am working on anorther hunt for the fall, just in case anyone's interested.

pengueener, Riza will send you your cash prize as soon as she can leave Shangri-La. Also, please message SS to arrange for delivery of your custom item prize.

Excellent hunting, everybody. Thanks to all who participated, and I hope you had fun. As Sal has mentioned, he has a plan in the works for a Fall tourney, so stay tuned!
