<S> Ace8, that 109 fight was hairy!  

Either Ace8 needs to post the results or Titan needs to provide the films.

I almost forgot to start the film during the 109F fight. I rolled it about 1 second after our merge.

EDIT: Oh, and Redbull was watching the fight too. He didn't say anything though, so no "unfairness". Film for evidence.

Realistically I am available for the next 6 hours though TC will have to contact me to schedule as I can't sit in the DA all the time of course.

[JOACH1M]

If possible ill need an extension I won't be home till late Monday

[Yarbles]

I have been thinking of signing up for one these brackets since the 6th or 7th. But I have been put off by inconsistant decision making.

Not directed particularly at you Dolby but a large minority of Aces High.

Your problem is you take winning far too seriously and anyway in any kid of comeptition there are going to be inconsistencies and difficult decisions. There are teenagers on this forumn and people who are old enough to know better. In Bone' s case I have not looked at what was said and done and am not judgeing but overall far too much time is spent argueing the toss rather than getting on with it.

I am in a bad mood becase I am waiting for my fight before I can get drunk 

[STXAce8]

Oops forgot to post lol, I got alittle pissed in the MA and rage quit, still I don't know how you got on my six in the 109 fight, also that 39 spins real nice due to the stupid mid engine. 

[STXAce8]

GFs anyway 

[wil3ur]

Hopefully Tomcat makes the finals.  That'll be interesting.

I apologize Yarbles, just sent you a PM, Sir

I am logging in now to the DA.......  I never expected for you to sit in the DA and just wait for me, I am just now rolling out of the sick bed to try and do this

I take full blame here

TC

[Yarbles]

No problem

Typhoon TC
Spit 9 TC

Good luck with the rest of the competition

UPDATE

Rather than updating the bracket tonight I've spent all day wrestling with a decision.

I retrospect, the advancement of Tomcat21 last week after posting that he was going to be offline for a period of time may not have been the best decision.  Clearly since he didn't respond to SF this week he's still offline.  I've decided to allow DrBone and SF to fight if they'd like to for the quarterfinal spot.  If they can't or won't then Tomcat21 will still be listed as the random draw winner but because no player can advance by random draw two turns in a row SF will advance to the quarterfinal round by forfeit.  If they do fight then DrBone will be promoted to the Elimination Round 3 position by forfeit and whomever wins between him and SF will advance to the quarterfinal.  I'm not posting the bracket tonight pending what happens here.  You have until Tuesday night at 10:00 PM CST to fight or not after which I'll post the updated bracket.  I know this throws it into SF's lap to fight and possibly lose or to make it difficult to get it in and simply advance.  I hope that both decide to fight.

Both LTDangle and haxxor have PM'd me asking for an extension.  Since they both asked and there were extenuating circumstances I am going to allow an extension until Tuesday night at 10:00 PM CST.

I want to explain that last week after a long hard week at work then so many uncontested duels I simply couldn't spare the effort it required to review every post and make each advancement decision on my own so instead I threw it in the committee's lap.  I still think the committee did a good job.  If Tomcat21 had been around this week then those fights would have proceeded as normal but with him not responding (and I highly doubt he will by Tuesday either) this opens a window of opportunity to allow DrBone back into the tournament.

I know I'm going to take heat on these decisions but like I said, I spent the whole day thinking about this and believe it's in the best interest of the tournament.

All that said there are two duels that can move forward.  They are:

RedBull
Typh Mk I
TC

TitanMD
N1K2-J
Sonic23

And the updated bracket will be posted Tuesday night.

I fully agree, and see no reason why you should take any heat.

Decisions are reversed in many sports to allow for the proper outcome. This sport is no different.

I'll take this opportunity to thank you for putting on this tournament that so many of us enjoy.
