Squidslinger Gilder:
Can we have more Duel at Dawn plz, I don't think we got enough...

Urz:
Hey guys, here is a short post detailing the events of yesterday. The formal bracket stage thread will go up tonight (which will have map rolls). The following teams advanced to the bracket stage:

C1 seed: Glowwater Thralls
C2 seed: The Clamour
D1 seed: The Mandarins
D2 seed: Museosaurs
E1 seed: The Gents
E2 Seed: Mad Hatters

Here's an updated bracket with all the seeds: http://i.imgur.com/46KdXgK.png

Update on VODs: Group E has already been uploaded. I have the footage for group D, that will be uploaded once it has been edited. Group C unfortunately was not recorded due to misconfiguration of streaming software.

Clarification on group D: Keyvias contacted me earlier in the week and asked if there was a way Muse could participate, as they hadn't signed up. I told him that I was expecting at least one no-show (Phalanx Infamia who to this point has not provided any communication beyond their signup), and that they could have the first no-show slot if Muse had a full team ready. As it turned out, not only did Phalanx not show, but the two other teams in the group (MAG and Clockwork Cavalry) only brought a single ship each. The result was that those two teams played together, and Museosaurs took one of the two empty slots for a total of three played games.

Thomas:
Things got a bit odd with Group D as expected, but I do have mixed feelings about letting a team, who didn't sign up, join after the tournament had already started.

I'm no longer participating due to that reason and others. The normal regulations should have been followed even if it meant no second seed (which is what would have happened if things were done right if I'm told correctly).

Urz:
Mothers Against Gaming and Clockwork Cavalry, consisting of new players who had a misunderstanding about what constitutes a full team, showed up with seven players between the two of them ready to play. Muse, who had missed the signup deadline while traveling for GDC, showed up with eight players ready to play. So the choices were to either disqualify the two new teams and not allow Muse late entry, denying the 23 players who had set aside their Saturday afternoon any matches, or work it out in a way that everyone gets to play (which will also have a negligible effect on future rounds due to the composition of the group). I'm confident in my decision.

Sorry to hear you'll no longer be participating, PuppyFur.
