***Tournament date changed to March 5th (Sunday) at 8:30 PM eastern.***

I'm making this new thread because I'm no longer able to edit my initial post on the other thread, and because there are some important announcements to make.

First off, the tournament is no longer scheduled for March 6th (Monday) at 9 PM eastern. The tournament date has been moved up to March 5th (Sunday) at 8:30 PM eastern on the N-Pulse server, because of scheduling conflicts for multiple invitees. I recommend that all invitees show up at least five minutes before the scheduled start of the tournament, and please don't whine about losing your spot in the tournament if you arrive late and someone has already been substituted for you, because I don't plan to wait long before getting the tournament started.

Secondly, the participants are no longer going to be ranked 1-16. The order of the tournament spars will be chosen randomly prior to the start of the tournament, although I'm not exactly sure how this will be done yet. I'll see if there's some sort of NPC or something that can be made that will randomly display a number between 1-16 for all to see. I'll find some way to randomize the tournament that will be as transparent as possible, one way or the other.

And lastly, there are two new invitees that will take the place of myself and Josh (I haven't seen him in well over a week): Cyclone and Tyrant. If Josh is still around somewhere and decides to show up for the tournament, he'll be the first person chosen as an alternate, and I'll be the second. If more alternates are needed, I'll select someone of my own choosing from among the playerlist on N-Pulse (please don't whine or beg).

Also, be sure to check this thread from time to time, and this post in particular, for updates concerning the tournament.
