So it begins.

 

[Antiochus VII]

If it's not too late I'd like to put in a fully armored Medieval Indian War Elephant for consideration

 

[utahjazz7]

Okay. Well, the period for making requests has come and gone. I'd like to thank everyone who has requested a unit. There are quite a number of good requests here, as I was hoping for.

Today I will start going through the requests and decide which of them make the tournament field; the field will include at least eight requests. I'll post the selections when I have made them.

Thanks again to everyone who participated.

 

[CamJH]

So how goes the tourney?
It feels almost like Selection Sunday for March Madness (one of my favorite times of the year ).

 

[cubsfan6506]

Yeah when you find out you should post them one at a time every ten minutes.

 

[Stormrage]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but I sure would like to know who won the lottery

 

[utahjazz7]

We're looking at a 16 request tournament. I have a preliminary top 16 right now. I'm actually in the process of refining the list right now. Once things are finalized, I'll post an announcement.

Tournament Field Set

After careful concideration and debating with the tournament selection committee, the 16 tournament finalists have been selected. Below you will find the names, in no particular order, of the requests who have made the tournament. The tournament pairings for round one will be announced tomorrow.

I feel bad about eliminating some requests from the tournament. It was difficult to make some of the decisions. Thank you to everyone who put in a request. And, congratulations to those requests which have made the tournament.

[BadKharma]

Wow cant wait see how rhis all turns out in the end, quite the initial line up.

 

[CamJH]

Woohoo, I made the field!
I just hope I don't end up a 5th seed, they're always getting upset by those pesky 12th seeds.

thanks utah.

 

[Red Door]

I made it, I made it!

Thanks for putting me in the field, I'm pretty confident that my unit is the best request so far.

 

[kulade]

Yes! One small victory for the Kulade man, but, many more steps to go!

 

[Bluemofia]

Ahh... I choose to leave for a few days and everyone sets up these Unit lotteries. Ah well. Soviet Infantry seems nice.

 

[NavyDawg]

I think the tournament will be fun to watch. If you can't tell from his nickname, I think UtahJazz is a Basketball fan.

 

[Blue Monkey]

I'm really torn. Virote edited his request to be for an Indian chariot after I posted my request. I really wanted to request one, but talked myself out of it because of all the comments I've heard about how difficult it would be to model one. I know of at least 3 mods where this could be of immediate use. If the monkey and the chariot end up head to head I may have to default.

 

[Stormrage]

Congratulations everyone

I hope CamJH`s request wins. Or Blue_Monkey`s... blue monkey

 

[Wolfhart]

Ding dong the Witch is... in!
That is a good line-up, anyone of these would be a worthy winner of the tournament. This tournament idea is good; it's actually quite exciting waiting to see who the witch will be up against!

Round One Pairings
Okay, I have the pairings done now. Here's how the match-ups were determinded. I went to www.random.org and used the list randomizer. I entered in all sixteen requests and had the website randomize the list. The first two listed face each other, the third and fourth listed play each other, and so on.

The sixteen requests are divided into four groups. The winner of group one will play the winner of group two. The winner of group three will play the winner of group four.


Group One

Monkey Warrior vs. Soviet Infantry

Shienaran vs. Rogers Ranger


Group Two

U.S. Infantry vs. Fusilier Marin

Witch vs. Kool-Aid


Groups three and four to follow.

 

[Partizanac]

So this is like a football? I don't know for who to cheer for

Edit: I know, I'll cheer for embryodead "war wagon"

 

[Red Door]

I'm against a Monkey Warrior, I can't lose.
