Overlord Grant Invitational

Post by King »

The second of January will mark the beginning of the Winter Cycle of the Duel of Swords. With a new cycle comes a new Overlord Grant, a special grant that can be used to challenge for a Barony.

Since the Overlord Grant is connected to the Baronies, I thought it only right to invite the Squires of the current Barons Council to make up large portion of the tournaments brackets. Sure, two of the seven Barons may be Renegade, but I don't think that matters in the spirit of the sport.

Squire of Old Temple: Jewell Ravenlock
Squire of Battlefield Park: Grace Frigg
Squire of Dockside: Kyra Jessup
Squire of Dragon's Gate: Charlie Nine
Squire of Seaside: Mairead Harker


Sadly, as I write this, New Haven does not have an active Squire on the standings and Misery, Squire of Old Market, has contacted me to say she will be unable to join the tournament. This leaves me with three slots to fill for an eight man tournament. The last three invitees will be...

Sabine. Her activity this past cycle shows exactly why she's been added to the list and I hope to see more of her this coming cycle.

Salvador Delahada. Like Sabine, Salvador has come out multiple times this past cycle to show his activity and earned his spot. That and all the AZN Invasion gear he's picked up. For repping my girlfriends team and being an active duelist? He gets a spot.

Izumi Takamine. As thanks for all the help she's given me.

If anyone on the list is unable to participate in the tournament, I will post new invitees on a later date as a reply to this post while also updating the main page. Please respond if you can't make it so that your slot can be filled.

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE NOT DUELED THIS CYCLE YOU WILL WANT TO DO SO BEFORE THE WINTER CYCLE TAKES PLACE. If you do not you won't be able to take the Overlord Grant! There's a few weeks left so please go out and get your activity duel.

*******
The Overlord Grant Invitational is set to take place Sunday, January the 4th at 8 PM (EST).

Seeding will be done by invite acceptance. The quicker you accept your invite by responding to this thread, the better your seeding spot.

This will be a double elimination tournament.

First Prize - The Overlord Grant and 10k Silver Nobles

Second Place - 5k Silver Nobles and bed and breakfast treatment at Overlord Isle. You can invite a friend or your lover along.

I really don't spend much time there, so the manor and staff will be all yours for the night and morning. Please don't be rough with them.


Third Place - 3k Silver Nobles and a puppy from the Dragon's Gate Animal Shelter

A picture will be added soon.

A hand written letter is pinned to the board

A reminder that the Overlord Grant Tournament will be held tonight at 8 PM (EST).

I won't be able to make it to call this tournament. I'm having to spend most of today and all of tomorrow out of town, but the winner of the tournament will receive their Overlord Grant without any delaying issues. The caller for the evening will be Lacey Tamarez.

Good luck to everyone.

A typed note is pinned under the announcement

2. Salvador
3. Sabine
4. Kyra

First round match ups should all sign ups arrive:

2. Salvador vs 7. Izumi
3. Sabine vs 6. Grace

If there's any missing participants the seeding will be fixed.
