that shit was unorganized and full of noobs no wonder Sugar Ray won his own tournament that lasted couple of hours, you should check out past tourney's and see how its done.

And had substitutions the players(surj) didnt even know about? lol

And USA had to wait for 2 people to fight and he fights winner, that;s not how its done either. LOL watch how Unstop tourney is gonna be, That's how a tourney is supposed to be done...

It's not my fault everyone didn't show up and the elite fighters didn't want to sign up.

The tournament was extremely organized.

Check how it was done in the past? You mean tournaments that go on for months or ones that never get completed? No thank you.

I'd rather have a tournament with solid fighters that finishes than a tournament with the game's best that takes 4 months for someone to ask, "When are we going to finish the tournament?"

If you think you can do a better job then run one yourself and quit bitching. Do you even play anymore? Until then you have no say.

i personally think a day is a tad rushed, as it doesnt give everyone a chance to come in and play at their scheduled times- not quite as flexible as a week.

However people seemed to enjoy it which is the main thing, and it was completed so fair play to you, you organised it well.

Thank you. And unlike other tournaments, I offered up a prize as an incentive to get people to be there. Did I have to put up a prize out of my own pocket? Did I have to even put a tournmanent together? NO.

Perhaps the next time, some of you will actually show up and stop complaining.

I specifically mentioned that it would end in ONE day. You should've thoroughly read my thread.

Any tourney is good for OB. Let's see you put something better together.

Final Results

Sugar Ray Robinson defeated Yacoob 2-0

However, not without some rough moments. This kid has mad potential and I foresee him going to the near top in the future should he continue to fight the way he's been fighting.

Although Yacoob didn't win, he still gets a prize.

Don't forget that Private Message Champ.

There were many no shows so we had a lot of late subs. Here are some early results.

That 1 Dope Mexican defeated Oscar De La Hoya 2-0

Yacoob defeated Mad Skillz 2-1 in a great series

Yacoob defeated That 1 Dope Mexican 2-0

Yacoob defeated Jigsaw 2-0

Jay major defeat Chopper 2-1 (chopper had lag and was admirable by forfeiting)

Black Bear defeated Jay major 2-1

Sugar Ray Robinson defeated Black Bear 2-0

Unfortunately, everyone on my side of the bracket didn't show!

Therefore, it's me vs Yacoob in the finals.

If those of you who have matchups see each other as of now, you may get your matches out of the way if you'd like. Just be sure to fight a best of 3 series and post the results in this thread. Both players should confirm that the series is over. No cheating please. Let's keep it clean.
