I assume, since we were delayed for a day, that, as per standard, we'll be extending this one day as well?
Most probably. I'd like to see more smacking from you. From possible sheduling we're facing either you or Digi in the semis..so I'd like to see who is better there.
Hmm...we're the only team without multiplier in it that made it to the finals.

Very strategic of you, but I don't know how much can be ascertained at this point. For all our effort, bats and Scoob didn't even post this round, and our writeup was a couple paragraphs long. It's claer both teams are holding back a bit.
I'll see what I can do. I'm personally laid up with a sprained knee currently so I likely won't be online much so I can ice down my knee. I spoke with Trickster and Jason on MSN over the weekend and they should be getting their decisions together. Semis begin next Monday. I'll have the seeds set by Wednesday hopefully.
Maybe now's a good time for me to say this:
I wish more people posted like me in tourneys.

Not debating style, or post format. But I sometimes feel like I'm the only one having fun during the process...others are understandably happy if they win, sad if they lose, but in-match posting seems far too combative for my tastes. Rather than being light-hearted at all, or playfully making fun of others (their opponents or themselves occasionally) or at the very least not being a jerk, the norm for tourney posting seem to be to call others (or their plans) retarded, moronic, stupid, questioning peoples' reading comprehension or their intellect, smack-talking their debating in general terms rather than actually breaking down their points logically, accusations of ignoring arguments, etc. etc.
I guess it just saps some of the fun for me, because otherwise the most fun I ever have in a vs. setting is during tourneys. But I occasionally have to choose between ignoring insults in order to remain calm, or respond to animosity with more of my own, which of course usually worsens the situation.
