::A two fingered imprint of something that could have been called a paw was stamped in bright pink ink on the registration forms. Aside from it, the odd pokemon had clearly hired someone to write the word....::
The writing on the note posted upon the wall, scripted in Draconic, read that Chythraul The Vile would join the ranks of those competing in the All Ranks Tournament of Magic.
Preregistration is now closed. See you all tomorrow! If you didn't sign up ahead of time, that's okay! We'll take walk ins until the clock strikes 8:30 PM.
[[Adding this since it wasn't originally in the OP. But much like previous tournaments, we will adhere to a 5 minute casting limit each round in order to try and keep the tourney from running too late. Exceeding 5 minutes once will result in a friendly reminder from the caller. Anything after that will result in a mis-cast, meaning no spell was invoked and the opponent's spell scores for maximum damage. After a mis-cast, the duelist is still not allowed to use whatever spell they most recently used. That way the mis-cast does not serve as a type of disengage. In the case anyone needs more than 5 minutes for an urgent/special circumstance, please alert the caller, opponent, and the room so they they know you need a few minute and will return asap.
So we had a wonderful time this evening. Here's a lil rundown of how it went:
With eleven participants, our first round was single elimination style with the following rounds double elimination.
Ahni, Grace, Rena, Spider, Sally, and Venalia all made it into the 2nd round and from there we ended up with the final results:
1. Venalia (5 WoL, Dragon Egg)
2. Rena (4 WoL, Mystery Box containing 5 EF gems)
3. Grace (2 WoL, Baby kiwi)
4. Spider (2 WoL, Spirit Staff until the end of the cycle)
5. Sally (1 air gem)
6. Ahni (2 air gems)
The following pre-signups also earned themselves a bonus WoL:
Grace, Rena, Spider, Saieniel, Ahni, Mew, Venalia, Whitemane, and Rachael
Thank you to everyone who came out to duel or spectate. I hope you had a wonderful time and I look forward to see you all for our summer All Ranks Tournament!
[[Note: EF gems must be used by the end of the current cycle or they will become inventory icons.]]
