Greetings, citizens of Sleuthville! The time has come once more for the annual Sleuthville Arch-Villain Hunt Tournament. This year’s tourney is being held a month earlier than usual so that we’ll have enough time in the Fall for other fun planned activities. The format, just like last year, will be one-on-one matchups. I welcome and encourage all old and new players to participate. Drag yourselves out of those doldrums and come enjoy yourselves with 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

Attention citizens of Sleuthville, your very handsome announcer has some very handsome words to say.

It appears that there are not enough players to go forward, and it is doubtful there will be enough by the end of registration time. However, instead of the tournament being cancelled, there will be a new format for the first round of competition.

There will be a rapid elimination round to see who goes forward. All participants will go to Shangri-La as scheduled and begin their hunts as scheduled. The first eight people to finish (by day count) will move on. If there are ties, then those who tied will enter into a second elimination round to start **EXACTLY TWO DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF TIED CAPTURE. ** For example, if two or more people finish their hunts on May 7th, they have tied. For these people, the next round will begin on May 9th. On May 8th, these people MAY travel to Shangri-La. This will go on until the eight spots are filled. Please note that the original rules regarding Cairo hunts and failed hunts still apply here.

During these tie-elimination weeks, those who have already qualified may do as they please. If qualifying players start a VH during this time, it will not be counted in any way for the tournament results.

After the eight spots are filled, the tournament will proceed in the fashion stated in the original rules until we have a winner.

Also, because this new format will likely mess up the original start dates for each round, please **FOLLOW THIS THREAD FOR UPDATES ON WHEN THE NEXT ROUNDS ARE SET TO BEGIN. **

I would also like to refute allegations that Miss Hawkeye has lost her voice from cackling evilly over these developments.

As always, Happy Hunting! :)

Thank you. Glad to hear the tourney will move forward.

Of course you had to stack the deck against me, instead of going against one other person, I have to go against the field

Would appreciate some advice!

I mistakenly thought it was starting later, so I've gotten myself into the middle of a hunt already. Would it be advisable for me to intentionally fail so I can start right on time tomorrow? I know there's no way I can finish in 24 hours.

In previous tournaments detectives have usually been allowed to finish their current hunts, but who's to say what this radical new format will bring.

Thank you Announcer for keeping the tournament going.

Sometimes you forget things, and sometimes life gets in the way. Whether it’s a delayed start time you need, or a day away in the middle of your hunting, just let me know and we’ll work it out.

Time to head to Shangri La! Good luck everyone! And, by good luck, I mean, I hope you all get eaten by pirates and all your cases are those ones where all the evidence is for the same townie and all the alibis are too... and it isn't your contact. <3
