2 - Khellendros vs. Scoobless (Tourney II) http://www.killermovies.com/forums/...threadid=331132
...this was Khell's closest and best chance at a tourney win. He was initially up in the poll only to be overtaken late.
1 - Scoob/Digi vs. Blair/DC (Tourney VIII) http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f77/t442032.html
...sorry to make myself #1 here, but it really was. Blair and Scoob had their tourney wins already, but DC and I had a lot riding on it. With the judges locked 2-2, and both plans at feverishly ludicrous levels, both teams threw out last-second arguments to try to swing the last judge to their side. And a week after the tourney, Scoob and I happened upon a scan that may have countered their main point against our prep.
...
Strangely, with mine, there's no real heartbreak. It was loads of fun, and I feel like they deserved the win. Still, as losses go, it's about as close as it gets.
And our newest addition: Krissy Von Doom! The most prolific female in tourney history, KVD boasts 6 tourney entries. Her valor was great, though the results were mixed. Without an official tally, I think she can claim at least one semis appearance, and numerous early-round victories. Still, for setting a high water mark in the early history of KMC tournaments, she is inducted for her dedication through troubled waters.
The Lists: Entry #3
Easiest Tourney (same criteria as Hardest)
Please note: "easiest" does not mean "worst" as there is a lot to be said for all of these tournaments listed below. This is simply an assessment of the difficulty in winning each one.
3 - Evangel's 2nd Multi-Level Tourney (VI)
Why: We weren't always so able to field multiple tourneys at one time, and Scoobless was able to use his experience in past tourneys to best a comparatively weak field (some good debaters, but many were very new to tourneys), because it took place during the same time as V, which consumed the time of many tourney vets.
2 - Low Meta Team Amalgam (X)
Why: Ill's current tourney boasts excellent debaters and powerful strategies, but has suffered from people dropping out. Regardless of the competition level, when showing up assures a team of a spot in the semis, the odds are more in a team's favor than most tourneys.
1 - KMC's First Multi-Level Tourney (I)
Why: Not a testament to the participants or tourney itself, which pioneered the idea of tourneys here on KMC, but it's just an undeniable fact that the quality of tournaments has improved drastically. The first tournament was groping in the dark with strategies and rules, so it's to be commended for setting the base for future tourneys, but one cannot look at it today and not see how the knowledge of the forums has increased monumentally.
A lot of those types of things would be especially hard, because I don't have a full list of every draft pick, amalgam, etc. Just the winning team, and whatever else I happen to remember. To do that there'd be a lot more tracking down to do.
So a good idea, and you can even do it if you want, but I'll be doing "easier" categories first.
...
To MM and Kandy: Probably not guys. Just not newsworthy stuff. I feel like JJJ telling Parker to bring him better pics or something.
