About

This was the 10th installment of the now annual Black Death tournaments, on September 30 at 1pm PST. For the previous four years Silverdawg had organized this event, but he retired from the duty and Zife and Ravine took over. The Black Death Tournaments have constantly broken records regarding both PoE and Familiars. Last year it gathered over 6 million in PoE and rewarded 2 familiars to the best swordfighters in the Ocean. This tournament beat that record with a grand total of 7,011,057 PoE, as well as prizes of two familiars, sleeping tortoise furniture, and a number of black and white daisy trinkets to the top ten placers.

The first part of the tournament was automated - bo3 bring your own sword. The top 32 from that tournament were then invited aboard the Black Death Grand Frigate "Fight Chub" and participated in a swiss-style tournament. Using the seeding from the swiss-style tournament, a further tournament then took place. The top eight from the swiss seeding competed in a basic round robin to determine the winner of the familiar; as players lost this tournament they were inserted into the single elimination tournament for the bottom 24, and these players all competed for the tan familiar.

It was a fabulous day for all, with several losers tournaments for those people who did not make it into the top 32.

The tournament relied on player donations for its prize base, and we were not disappointed! A full list of donators can be seen below.
