Sorry for the delay this morning gentlemen.
Due to the following two posts:
Got to see WMSol last night in the MA. He was testing some settings, and may be a go for today. I'll be on later this afternoon. 
I dont know if its going to work out with lazerr and myself. He is having computer problems. Hopefully we will get it in by midnight.
... and the lack of response from thier opponents I am advancing BMathis and jerkins and amending the rules as follows:
- If a duel cannot be arranged between two players each player will have a chance to post the circumstances in this thread prior to the posting deadline. If only one player posts and it is clear that they are making an attempt to arrange their duel then that player will advance. If both players post and it is clear that the issue lies with only one player then the player not at fault will advance. If it is unclear which player is at fault, or if neither player posts, then a random draw will determine which player advances.
The current game update is clearly the problem in this instance but I think this change will be fair for future considerations as well. At this point advancing a player by random draw who is having issues with the game might just create a cascading problem in later rounds.
Although I feel bad for WMSol and Lucifer the bracket must continue forward. Hopefully they will have thier issues resolved for future contests.
I did take the time this morning to run this by the review committee (except jerkins for obvious reasons) and there was consensus on this. This was the reason for this morning's delay.
So, here's the bracket as we stand:
Good luck to all on your attempt to make the quarter final round. As always, you have until Midnight Central Sunday to post results.
