Excellent stat work. Thank you. When did Ten drop out?


I don't buy the Ed / In My Tree / TSIS website story one bit. But that's a great story/lie.

Whoops, missed that. Porch made it to round 3.

[LetMeSleep]

With no disrespect to Stip for all his effort but unless the final stays open for and 2 weeks, the timing of this tournament seems ill thought out.

[stip]

i turned some 4 round matches into 8 round matches to move this along quicker

[LetMeSleep]

It's moved along nicely and thanks again for all you do.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Stip has pretty much ran this on his own without any help from us lazy ass mods. Big respect, as this thing is his baby and he runs it brilliantly. It wouldn't exist without him.

Blame the poor planning on someone else. Maybe mecca or B. Probably.

[LetMeSleep]

I'm just being an arse as I'm bored.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Nah, constructive feedback is a good thing. Ruddo said he's gonna run it all next time anyway.

[stip]

I wasn't taking any of that personally. It was a perfectly appropriate observation

[stip]

Hail Hail beats Immortality 27-25


Hail Hail is your 2016 March Madness Champion!

[Birds in Hell]

My heart swells, well done everyone.

Thanks stip - it was fun.

[ABNorman]

Thanks, stip!

[LetMeSleep]

Congrats Hail Hail and congrats to In My Tree for the participation award.

[stip]

[LetMeSleep]

Yeah yeah.

Great winner

[epilogue]

Great work, Stip. Thank you again so much for willfully enduring this every year.

[stip]

working yourself into a six week fit of impotent rage is good for the health. So thank YOU, RM.
