11th Black Death Tournament

About
This is the 11th installment of the now annual Black Death tournaments, on (date to be decided}. The Black Death Tournaments have constantly broken records regarding both PoE and familiars. Last year it gathered over 7 million in PoE and rewarded 2 familiars to the best swordfighters in the Ocean.

The first part of the tournament is automated. The top 32 from that tournament are then invited aboard the Black Death grand frigate Fight Chub and participate in a swiss-style tournament. Using the seeding from the swiss-style tournament, a further tournament then takes place. The top eight from the swiss seeding compete in a basic round robin to determine the winner of the familiar; as players lost this tournament they are inserted into the single elimination tournament for the bottom 24, and these players all compete for the tan familiar.

Like all Black Death Tournaments a lot of the prizes (all of the poe) relies on player donations. Black Death has always been happy with the donations and generosity from other players, and hopes it will continue.

The Tournament will be held on October 27th, 2007 at Noon Game Time.
