The Six Sided Ring of Fire's Open Tournament is LIVE!

An email just went out to everyone involved that explains the details.... and the tournament is a GO.

Here's a little outline of how it's going to work:

Stage 1: Pool Play

Players will play everyone in their group 2 times.  Each win during Pool Play will give the player 1 point.  The score at the end of pool play will determine the seeing for the tournament.

Stage 2: Tournament

Single elimination bracket play through the final 4 which will be best of 3 with a best of 5 final which will hopefully be broadcast live on stream.  

It's that simple!  

Results will be posted here as they are broadcast on stream.  


But... where's the catch?  

Group A (Diamond+) has 1 player.  Group C (Silver/Bronze) has 4.  Okay, no HUGE deal... I'm working on some fun stuff in the lab for both "under-represented" groups, but what we're going to TRY to do is broadcast under the pretense of picking up more Group A or C players during pool play.  If this does end up being successful, great!  More games.  If not, we'll do a "final four" of the 4 players and we'll get someone in for a Diamond league show match.  

Okay, LET'S DO THIS!
