After just recieving the prize support I requested, I present to the Cobalt Ocean.... Tournament in a box! Ahoy mates! It's time to think inside the box for a great event brought to you by the great treasures in Atlantis! That's right... old weapons! This tournament is giving every pirate a chance to wield the best?weapon against pirates who weren't as fortunate. Test your true puzzling skill instead of your specific weapon prowess! Tournament-in-a-box: How does it work? There will be a series of three tournaments, one for each of drinking, rumbling and swordfighting. For each tournament, contestants show up to Stevensam's Estate on Kirin Island and pick a box from a numbered grid. Inside that box will be the weapon you will be using for the duration of the Swiss-paired tournament. Prizes are given to the pirate with the best score, as well as the highest placing pirate with the worst weapon*. Where is it again? Stevensam's Estate on Kirin What if I want to use my own weapon? All of the numbered boxes will have their contents written on my screen, so if you try to use your own weapon instead of what was inside your box, you will be disqualified. How many rounds are in each tournament? The number of rounds in the tournament all depends on the number of entrants. At the minimum, it will be 3 rounds and at the maximum it will be 6 rounds. When is this event? This event will be on [September 2, 2008] at [1:00 PM] for rumbling, [September 4, 2008] at [1:00 PM] for drinking and [September 5, 2008] at [1:00PM] for swordfighting. What are the prizes? First place in each event will receive a plain ribbon as well as a sloop commemorating their event win. The sloop names will match the event, so the drinking winner will get the Drinking Boxfish, the rumbling winner will get the Rumbling Boxfish and the top swordfighter will get the Fencing Boxfish. There will also be red/white hankies for the top placement with the worst weapon*. How will tie-breakers be determined Since there are bound to be ties in this event, tiebreakers will be figured by using the opponent win % numbers. This method will only be used to determine the top two pirates at the end of the event. Once the top two have been decided, they will battle for the top prize. If one pirate is the clear winner after the regular rounds, there will be no tiebreakers/final match. *What does worst weapon mean? The worst weapon for the swordfighting tournament is the foil, drinking's worst weapon will be the pitcher and rumbling's worst weapon will be the gaff. *Will Stevensam be the host for this event? No. As with most of my events, one of my event alts will be the host. Poeroddy will be the host for this event. Edit1: Fixed punctuation marks disappearing.

I think I need to brush up on my drinking! I'll do my best to make it, as long as it doesn't conflict with my work schedule. Great event! :-) ---------------------------------------- Fireangel |

Count me in. One small quibble - IMHO, the pitcher isn't the worst drinking mug. I'd say that the Goblet is much worse..... ---------------------------------------- Netopalis Captain of Different Drums King of Ixiam Dean of Ixiam University's School of Piratology Grand Vizier and Chief Scallywag of the Order of the Palindromic Paladins |

Well, when it comes down to it, lots of pirates have lots of different opinions on the drinking mug strength and weakness. For the case of this tournament, I'm considering the pitcher the worst drinking mug. This is just my opinion based on the settings that I have in mind (that aren't finalized yet). ---------------------------------------- Stevensam -Cobalt Native, founder and host of The PoE is Right.

Just caught sight of the event, but I was wondering if you're allowing someone to continue to participate in the tournaments, if they win one of the previous ones. ---------------------------------------- Mathieujg - Ice Mathieujg - Cobalt |

Alright, I'd first like to thank the 20 pirates who showed up for the Rumble event! After 4 rounds and one final tiebreaker the results are as follows: First place: Fondammit 5-0 Handkerchief winner: Dhamon 3-1 All of the pirates who stayed around until the end got a special prize of an extra box to commemorate the event. I look forward to a good turnout for the next Tournament-in-a-box event on the 4th. See you all there! ---------------------------------------- Stevensam -Cobalt Native, founder and host of The PoE is Right. Creator of Lime Day. |

I participated, and it was tons of fun. I fail at rumble, so of course I didn't place, though I hope to make it into the finals of the Drinking one. Congrats on the win Fon, and for Goo for bringing up second. ---------------------------------------- BloodyBill on the Cerulean Ocean (of Cobalt origin). |

I'd first like to thank the Ocean Masters for providing support for my fun little event. Next I'd like to thank everyone who came and made this a fun event to run. The swordfighting tournament was an exiting one for only having 9 people show up! Tiebreaker points ended up deciding our winner, and congrats to Rozachka for pulling of a win with the foil! Tournament winner - Starlix Hanky winner - Rozachka Now, the pirates that will be sailing the new ships on the ocean: Fondammit - Rumbling Boxfish Xelliana - Drinking Boxfish Starlix - Fencing Boxfish See you all at my next event! ---------------------------------------- Stevensam -Cobalt Native, founder and host of The PoE is Right.
