Greetings all!

Two quick ACC tournament related updates, one from each of our tournaments!

ACC Beta Tournament has Finished

Earlier today, I finished grading the last of the ACC Beta Tournament matches. In a narrow victory, Aidan Kincaid, known to most of us as Shadow, narrowly defeated Verse Theris to take first place in the beta tournament. The battle is viewable here.

Due to other obligations, both Legorii and Halcyon opted out of their match, causing a tie for third place; in normal circumstances, we wouldn't award third place here, but because Fading Light was starting the following week, and because the beta tournament was quite lengthy, we allowed it.

Thank you to everyone that participated in the beta tournament. We had more than thirty people sign up, and had an excellent chance to test and refine grading. Thanks for the results of the beta tournament, we learned a lot about how this general system performs and what to change, giving us what we feel is a more solid foundation for future Vendettas. Without the intrepid work of all of our testers, we wouldn't have found a lot of the bugs we did... so thank you!

Our final results for the beta tournament are:

1st place: Aidan Kincaid



2nd place: Verse Theris



3rd place (tie): Halcyon, Legorii



First Fading Light ACC Match Completed

The Voice has finished his judging of the first completed ACC match of Fading Light, between Keirdagh and Seridan. Keirdagh came out the victor, and is our first to advance by victory! Update your brackets, everyone. ;)

It looks like many more battles are about to complete, so we'll be in for a lot of grading in the coming days. Good luck to all participants!

EDIT:

James has updated the Hall associations so that the Fading Light Hall is now directly under the Competition Hall, and the final Open Beta Tournament now has it's own subhall.
