HOLY CRAPS IT'S AN UPDATE
Juventud Guerrera and "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas open us off from Osaka, Japan after a long break to take on the massive team of King Kong Bundy and Big
John Studd-- 815 pounds of dude right there, ladies and gentlemen. Guerrera and Atlas take the win when Studd got DQ'd by Rudy Charles for
failing to let go of a chokelift on Juvy.. 7:15, -.25 stars.
Next up we have The World's Greatest Tag Team pitting their skills against another team that has been given that description... AJ Styles and
Christopher Daniels. Lots of methodical mat 'rasslin from TWGTT ended up being the key. Shelton hits Daneils with the T-Bone, one, two, three,
and the win goes to TWGTT. 12:50. 2.5 stars.
To round things out, we've got a classic team going up against a newer pairing... The Rock 'N Roll Express versus Edge and Rey Mysterio,
Jr. The guardrail was a weapon used throughout the match, with several near-countouts. The Rock 'N Roll Express pick up the win after a double
dropkick to Rey-Rey. 10:55, 2.5 stars.
***
Next up we have the two outright winners of last round pitted against each other: The Rock 'N Roll Express versus The World's Greatest
Tag Team. Late in the match, Haas hits a T-Bone of his own and tries to roll Ricky Morton into the Haas of Pain, but Morton escapes. Unfortunately,
Benjamin enters a few minutes later and nails two T-Bones to put him away. 3.75 stars, 19:44.
Edge and Mysterio head to the ring next as Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy wait for them. Did I mention that they're 815 pounds? No? Rey
played the role of giant-killer for most of the match, but Edge picked up the win at 19:59 via a spear to King Kong Bundy. 2.75 stars.
The odd couple of Juvi and Atlas round things out against Daniels and Styles. Styles wins with a vertical suplex into a reverse neckbreaker followed
by the Styles Clash on a hapless Tony Atlas. 13:55, three stars.
***
It looked like the Rock 'N Roll Express were headed for another loss in the first match of our third round, but Juventud Guerrera went for one
wheelbarrow suplex too many. Robert Gibson counters with a victory roll for another win at 16:35. Two stars.
The winless Studd and Bundy are hoping to reverse their futures in a tussle with the red-hot World's Greatest Tag Team. It was 100%
Chokelifttacular-- Studd and Bundy beat TWGTT when King Kong Bundy hits Charlie Haas with the avalance after (you guessed it) a chokelift. 19:49,
1.5 stars.
Daniels and Styles are taking on Edge and Rey Mysterio, which should promise to be a great match. At 15:46 we had our exciting finish-- Edge spears
AJ Styles who reaches the ropes, tags in Christopher Daniels, Daniels hits a Blue Thunder bomb on Edge, Edge reaches the ropes, stuns Daniels with a
clothesline, tags in Rey, Rey hits a ropeflip moonsault, and a three-count later, Rey and Edge are the winners. 15:46, 3.5 stars.
***
Bundy. Studd. Styles. Daniels. It's the next round of our whatever in Osaka... and apparently, Edge wanted to add an exclamation point to the
win they got in the last round, running in and annihilating Styles with a chairshot to the head. The two big men get disqualified, and AJ styles and
Christopher Daniels get the DQ win. 3:51. 1.25 stars.
The World's Greatest Tag Team want to keep things going as they face the lowest-rated team... Guerrera and Atlas. James Beard gets knocked
stupid in the middle of the match, but wakes up while the odd pairing of Atlas and Guerra showed surprisng teamwork. It didn't matter in the
end, as Shelton Benjamin hits Tony Atlas with a T-Bone for the win at 21:26. 2.25 stars.
***
AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels hope to reach the top, but they'll have to get through the Rock 'N Roll Express to do it. The ref gets
knocked out and it looks like Ricky Morton's efforts in the match may be for naught... but Danny Davis runs to the ring, counts three, and the
Express take another victory. 13:11, 3.25 stars.
The World's Greatest Tag Team are looking to round things out with a win against two of their closest competitors... Edge and Rey Mysterio.
Didn't they feud on Smackdown! a while back? Rey and Edge keep things competitive with a flatliner into a Spear on Haas. 5:31, 2.75 stars.
***
Edge and Rey are rounding things out with a match against Guerrera and Atlas. Lots of lucha-style wrestling erupted between Rey and Juvy, but it
ended up being Tony Atlas who took the fall when all was said and done at 15:00. 3 stars.
Bundy and Studd are trying to play kingmaker... if the Rock & Roll Express beat the two behemoths, they get first place and an automatic finals berth.
If they lose, then first goes to Edge and Rey and second goes to The World's Greatest Tag Team (who beat the Express in their match). The
crafty veterans try their best, but Gibson succumbed early to a Fujiwara armbar from King Kong Bundy. 13:41, .75 stars.
And now, the standings:
1. Edge and Rey Mysterio, Jr. (Carlito's Coconut): Four wins, one loss. Twenty points and a trip to the finals.
2. The World's Greatest Tag Team (WLD) and the Rock 'N Roll Express (Attitude Adjuster): Three wins, two losses. Fifteen points. TWGTT
go to the finals because they won in the match versus the Express.
4. King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd (Outback Jack): Two wins, three losses. Ten points.
5. AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels (Metallikid): One win, one DQ, three losses. Seven points.
6. Juventud Guerrera and Tony Atlas: One DQ, four losses. Two points.
So... the Wild Card Standings get some new blood:
1. Mike Sanders and Matt Striker (Gatorbait), The Blue Bloods (WLD), Paul London and Brian Kendrick (Jodrell), The Rock 'N Roll Express
(Attitude Adjuster): 15 points.
5. Rey Mysterio and Paul London: (Chris is Good): 12 points.
6. The Road Warriors (Attitude Adjuster), Harlem Heat (Carlito's Coconut), The Colossal Connection (WLD), and The Paparazzi (Carlito's
Coconut), King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd (Outback Jack): 10 points.
10. AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels (Metallikid): 7 points.
11. Mark Jindrak and Sean O'Haire (Gatorbait): 6 points.
12. The Rock & Sock Connection (Spinch), Los Guererros (Chris Is Good), Kurt Angle and Steve Austin (Jodrell), Normal Smiley and Jesse Ventura
(Gatorbait), The Outsiders (Gatorbait), and Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho (Chris is Good): 5 points.
18. Tony Atlas and Juventud Guererra (Figure Foreskin): 2 points.
-Re-Re edited for formatting. Again. And stuff.

We're making up for lost time here at Tournament HQ, with the results from Chicago! Starting us off is a match pitting two legendary
technicians�Kurt Angle and Antonio Inoki -- against two headcases... The Ultimate Warrior and Randy Orton. The crowd was hot for this one, but Orton
ended up getting the win after Angle missed an elbow smash and Orton capitalized with an RKO from nowhere. The Ultimate Warrior held Inoki back from
the save, and the Ultimate Whackjobs take the win. 16:23, 2.25 stars.
The Head Hunters are going on to take on a volatile pairing... the Mega Powers, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. The Mega Powers take the DQ win after
Head Hunter 2 throws Jimmy Korderas out of the ring and knocks him out. 4:24, -.25 stars.
The Brothers of Destruction are next up, challenging the British Bulldogs to a bout. Kane hits the Chokeslam From Hell on Dynamite Kid at 2:48, but
the Kid kicks out. At 7:02, Taker and Kane (after more abuse to the Kid) hit a double chokeslam, but Dynamite AGAIN kicks out... and doesn't
seem to want to tag Davey Boy back in. A tag attempt is made at 9:36, but Nick Patrick doesn't notice, and Dynamite succumbs to a Fujiwara
armbar after eight seconds. 10:41, 2.75 stars.
***
It's size versus skill for round two... the Undertaker and Kane versus Antonio Inoki and Kurt Angle. The crowd was red-hot throughout the match
for all competitors, but Taker and Kane end up getting the win after a Chokeslam from Hell to Inoki. 14:41, three stars.
It�s the Headhunters versus the Headcases� Orton and Warrior. Head Hunter #2 seems to share a lack of enthusiasm for Mr. Orton, bashing him in the
face several times with the frying pan and making him bleed heavily. Orton takes offense to this and locks #2 into a chokehold which he refuses to
break after a five-count. Mike Chioda wields the DQ hammer and smacks Warrior and Orton with it, giving the Head Hunters the win and two points.
1.25 stars, 13:09.
The British Bulldogs are up next against Savage and Hogan. Dynamite Kid accidentally knocked Brian Hebner down-- will he react poorly? Chad Patton
takes over, Bulldog nails a running powerslam on Hogan, and KICKOUT. Hogan tags in the Macho Man, Davey Boy tags in Dynamite Kid, Hebner keeps on
trying to regain consciousness, and this is, quite possibly, the closest match that I've seen so far. Savage pulls off the win after hitting a
Flying Elbowdrop on Dynamite Kid and Hebner regains consciousness long enough to make the count. 27:49, three stars.
***
The Headhunters (875 pounds) are taking on their closest opponents size-wise... the massive (648 pounds) Brothers of Destruction, the Undertaker and
Kane. The Big Red Machine tries to chokeslam Headhunter #1 but has issues lifting him and gets an elbow to the midsection for his troubles. Kane
gets pissed and throws #1 into the ring steps, knocking him out and giving his team the countout victory. Two points, 13:17, and 1.5 stars.
Angle and Inoki and the British Bulldogs, both heavily favored at the beginning of the qualifier, are both winless. One of these teams is going to
escape with a win... which one of them will it be? At the ten minute mark, Angle resumed his hostilities toward Davey Boy from their long-ago
European title feud with two Angle slams... both of which Bulldog kicked out of. Inoki has a huge crowd reaction, with "Inoki - Bombaye!" chants
rising up. The Octopus hold gets locked in on Dynamite Kid... and he escapes after 16 seconds locked in. He makes the tag to Davey Boy, who gets
locked into an abdominal stretch (which he escapes after 45 seconds) and then an Octopus Hold (which he doesn't). The crowd is on their feet
for a match well-fought. 21:53, four stars.
Three of the men in this ring have a long and storied history with one another, and the fourth shat into a handbag. It's Savage and Hogan
versus The Ultimate Warrior and Randy Orton! Lots of sleeperholds in the match and lots of false finishes-- we saw two Atomic Leg Drops, a few
Gorilla Presses to Big Splashes, and a Flying Elbowdrop... but all of the pins on them were interrupted or kicked out of. Finally at 18:20, Hogan
kicked Orton in the head and hit the Atomic Legdrop... one, two, three, and another win for the Mega Powers. 18:26, 1.5 stars.
***
Inoki and Angle are hoping to build last round's win into another two-- this qualifier is still wide open to anyone. To keep on moving, though,
they'll have to defeat the Mega Powers, who have been on fire throughout this tournament. Keeping things interesting is the fact that Hogan and
Inoki tagged with each other in New Japan in the early eighties... will their advanced knowledge of each other�s movesets brings this to a stalemate?
The match was back and forth, but Angle and Inoki put an end to the winning streak of the Mega Powers... Angle hits two rolling German suplexes and
then locks the Ankle Lock on Savage (who had escaped it twice earlier in the match), who taps after 14 seconds in it. 24:46, three stars.
The Headhunters are up next against the British Bulldogs, who are still looking for their first victory. The Bulldogs waste no time in taking out the
Headhunters-- a running powerslam from Davey Boy Smith puts #1 away at 13:52. 2.5 stars.
Finishing today's festivities is a match between Warrior and Orton and the Brothers of Destruction. Orton's frying-pan induced wounds
from the match versus the Headhunters got re-opened at 11:00, courtesy of Taker tossing him out of the ring. Warrior nailed Taker with the Gorilla
Press (after Kane did the same to Orton), but Taker rolled away from the splash and Warrior EATS MAT. Taker capitalizes on this and hits Warrior with
a Tombstone, and it's all over... 15:20, 1.5 stars.
***
The first match of the final round pits the #1 and #2 teams against each other... the Mega Powers versus the Brothers of Destruction. If Hogan and
Savage pick up the win, they'll tie with Taker and Kane... but since they will have defeated them, they would get first place and Taker/Kane
would have to settle for second. If they lose and Angle and Inoki win in their match, Angle and Inoki would take the second place spot. Taker tries
for the tombstone on the Hulkster to the bare cement floor at 7:06, trying to put the win away early, but Hogan counters and Taker starts bleeding
freely. Tombstone again at 11:14, but Hogan gets to the ropes! Both partners are tagged and Kane tries to hit the Chokeslam From Hell, but Savage
counters that with a Nutshot from... uh... somewhere. The Undertaker takes offense and lays out Savage after making the tag to Hogan, and Kane
capitalizes with a Chokeslam from the top ringpost to the cement floor! Holy shit! Hogan is out cold, and Taker and Kane get the countout win...
leaving them at nineteen points. 1.25 stars, 16:27.
The next two teams are hoping for their second win... the British Bulldogs (whose only win so far has been against the Headhunters) versus Orton and
Warrior (whose only win has been against Angle and Inoki). The Ultimate Douchebags pull off the win against the Bulldogs... double bodyslam to Davey
Boy, Enzuilariato from Warrior to take Dynamite out, Flying cross-body press to Davey Boy as he recovers by Orton, and the three-count is given. 7:16,
3.5 stars.
The final match of the tournament is being watched with great anticipation by the Mega Powers... Antonio Inoki and Kurt Angle against the Head
Hunters. Things got interesting early when Hogan and Savage came to ringside, but their interference came too late... Angle made Head Hunter #1
submit to the Ankle Lock after 38 seconds. 10:14, 3.5 stars, and the team of Angle and Inoki lock in their status as second place.
Now that all is said and done, here are your rankings�
1. The Brothers of Destruction (Metallikid): Three Wins, Two Countouts. 19 points, trip to the finals.
2. Antonio Inoki and Kurt Angle (Spinch): Three wins, two losses, 15 points and a trip to the finals as well.
3. The Mega Powers (Jodrell): Two wins, one DQ, two losses, 12 points.
4. The Ultimate Warrior and Randy Open (Figure Foreskin): Two wins, three losses, 10 points.
5. The British Bulldogs (Outback Jack): One win, four losses, five points.
6. The Headhunters (WLD): One DQ, four losses, two points.
Now that we're halfway, let's look at the overall standings... here are YOUR finalists:

Wow, this is really cool. Now you won't double post. 
Sting is the dumbest man in wrestling. That's a well established fact. I'd personally find it offensive and out of character if Sting
didn't volunteer to do the stupid thing.

I have to disagree with TNM's rating for the match. The bolded portion alone qualifies this is a ******* classic, baby!

It's time to see what our next six teams have got... we're live from Cairo! Opening things up is the... uh... unorthodox... team of
Balls Mahoney and Billy Kidman taking on Ric Flair and Arn Anderson!
Kevin Nash: These guys were on the undercard when I invented the Sharpie-On-A-Pole match and fought in front of a packed house at the Omni, you know.
Balls/Kidman were a-brawling throughout most of the match, while Flair and Anderson showed their classic wrestling expertise. A fan hands Balls a
steel chair at 14:29, and he uses it against Ric Flair... who, to the surprise of no one, bleeds profusely. He counters with a drop onto the
guardrail, and both men are now bleeding. A direct quote from TNM:
Ric Flair is bleeding like hell.
Arn gets tagged in and is a house of fire, attempting a Gourdbuster... but he can't lift Balls! Balls runs against the ropes for a clothesline
but EATS ELBOW and then gets hit with a DDT. One, two, Kidman can't make the save... Flair and Anderson get the first win! 23:56, 2.25 stars.
The next team is an alliance between the winner and runner-up of the last tournament, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn
Michaels. They're up against the Homicidal, Genocidal, Suicidal Sabu and The Whole F'n Show, Rob Van Dam. Sabu hits HBK in the yambag
with a misplaced uppercut, and RVD leaps from the top turnbuckle with a dropkick! RVD goes for the one-man Rolling Thunder, hits it, and then goes
for a second... and HBK counters with a clothesline! RVD springs back up, grabs a chair, sets it up, and hits a legdrop. Both men are fighting
fiercely, flying cross body from RVD, RVD points to himself, tries to pin but doesn't make it... HBK hits a kick, crotch chops, andhits his own
flying body press... Michaels wins! 18:44, 2.25 stars.
A classic team returns..."Stunning" Steve Austin and Brian Pillman taking on the Steiner Brothers. Did they ever feud in WCW? I never watched it.
Regardless, they're fighting now. Austin got locked into the Steiner Recliner and fought out after nearly a minute around 12:00 into the match.
Austin counters with a spinebuster and gets a surprise pin on Scott Steiner! 12:28, 2.25 stars (again!)
***
Kidman and Mahoney are jerkin' the curtain again and their partners in this are the Hollywood Blondes. The ersatz team of Kidman and Mahoney
showed a surprising amount of of good teamwork, tagging frequently and using a fair amount of double-team maneuvers. Elbow smash... Stunner... NO!
Balls counters the Stunner, clotheslines him out of the ring, and we've got a brawl between all four men! Pillman hits Balls with a spinning
leg lariat, Kidman sweeps Pillman's leg, Austin drops a fist, Balls grabs a chair, swings at Austin, misses, Austin has the chair and nails
Balls in the face... blood everywhere. His nose may be broken! Things are not looking good... TAG TO KIDMAN! TAG TO PILLMAN! Lots of flippity shit,
Pillman hits a DDT, three count. 21:31, 3.75 stars.
Flair and Anderson are up next against RVD and Sabu. This one ended VERY quickly... RVD gets counted out courtesy of a faceslam into the ringsteps
(!!!) from Arn Anderson, proving that he, too, is hardcore. 3:51 and two stars. Remember that you've only got two points for a countout.
Steamboat and HBK are back and make short work of the brothers Steiner... a karate chop to Rick Steiner, a flying cross-body, and three counts later
Steamboat and HBK are 2-0. 2.5 stars.
***
The Hollywood Blondes are cracking it open against Flair and Anderson. Brian Pillman ends up losing it gainst an abdominal stretch from Arn Anderson
after sixteen seconds (mind you, he was also in various other submission holds earlier in the match). 10:17, 2.75 stars.
The Dragon and the Heartbreak Kid are entering the ring next, where Balls and Billy Kidman await them. Balls unleashes his anger against Steamboat,
but can't get the pin after two powerbombs and the Sky High. After both had been tagged out and back in, Kidman and Balls hit a nice little
combo on Steamboat- a vertical suplex from Kidman followed by a top-rope legdrop from Balls-- but it wasn't enough and Steamboat got out at
2.9999 seconds. Balls throws Steamboat out of the ring into the guardrail, bashes him with a steel chair, and tosses him into the ringsteps for good
measure. He goes for the pin after another powerbomb, but Steamboat miraculously gets to the ropes! A tag to HBK is made, and Michaels makes Balls
pay for the punishment inflicted on Steamboat... Sweet Chin Music for the pin at 20:23. 2.25 stars.
RVD and Sabu are trying to get in the Win Column, but the Steiner Brothers have their own plans. Rick hits RVD with a Steinerline into Brian Hebner,
who's out cold... Scott jumps in and hits one of his own... Rick hits a third, and RVD is DEAD... but there's no referee to make the
count! Rick decides to choke Rob out, but Rudy Charles doesn't get there in time to see him tap. RVD gets a tag to Sabu, who enters the ring
with a chair... springboard off the rope... enzugiri to Rick Steiner! Double bodyslam to Rick! Double backdrop! Springboard legdrop from Sabu!
Double bodyslam! Steiner tries to counter with an achilles tendon hold on Sabu, but Sabu makes it to the ropes... points to the ceiling... Sabu and
RVD hit the original Rolling Thunder, and the crowd goes apeshit! 13:08, 2.75 stars.
***
Balls and Billy Kidman are here for a match against the Steiner Brothers, both teams looking for that elusive first win. The Steiners take it after
an enraged Scott Steiner locks Balls in the Steiner Recliner for 44 seconds and refuses to let go after the match is over. 17:15, 2.5 stars.
The Hollywood Blondes are here for Match Number Two, taking on Sabu and RVD who are hoping for a second win. Lost of back-and-forth action between
the two... Pillman throws RVD out of the ring, and RVD gets a countout. That's good enough for two points for the Hollywood Blondes at 14:01
and three stars (for some reason).
Two undefeated teams (even if one was by countout). One match. This may determine who takes the championship... Flair and Anderson versus HBK and
Ricky Steamboat. HBK mockingly puts Arn in the Figure Four (which is quickly broken) at 11:06, and Arn counters after a missed HBK slingshot with an
abdominal stretch. Tag to Steamboat, a series of suplexes from him to Anderson, and a tag back to Flair... FIGURE FOUR! Shoulders on the mat...
one... two... STEAMBOAT REVERSES THE FIGURE FOUR! Flair escapes. Plenty of chops (WOOOO!), Steamboat tags to HBK. Low blow to HBK from Flair, HBK
hits a Superplex after some back-and-forth offense, and the crowd is INSANELY loud. All four men are in the ring, but Arn gets cut off before he can
make a save... Five Moves Of Doom... SWEET CHIN MUSIC TO FLAIR! The three count is made, and HBK and Ricky Steamboat come out on top again! 25:07,
three stars.
***
Kidman and Mahoney are hoping to tie it up for last place against RVD and Sabu. Will the odd pairing of Kidman and Mahoney get a victory? Lots of
hardcore action went on in the match (steel chair fight!), but Balls proves victorious after the Nutcracker Suite to RVD in 21:12. The crowd was WAY
into this, and as a result we get a 4.25 star match from the lower-ranked teams!
Now, we enter this match with an interesting situation... we again have a tie for second place an an entry into the final round. If both Arn Anderson
and Ric Flair and the Hollywood Blondes win or lose their matches, Anderson and Flair would take second (with their win over the Blondes). If one
wins and the other loses or gets a countout/DQ victory, the winner takes second. Flair/Anderson have an easier go as they're up against the
Steiners, while the Blondes have to face the first-place team. The two Horsemen need a victory against the Steiners, which Arn Anderson secures for
the team after locking the Dog-Faced Gremlin in a Boston Crab. 13:14, three stars.
Our last match has the Hollywood Blondes facing the near-unstoppable duo of Ricky Steamboat and HBK. The match was neck and neck, but Austin wins
after a spinebuster to Ricky Steamboat at 14:04 two stars... but it's not enough, and Flair and Anderson take second!
And now, the rankings:
1: �The Heartbreak Kid� Shawn Michaels and Ricky �The Dragon� Steamboat (Attitude Adjuster): Four wins, one loss. Twenty points and a trip to the
finals.
2: Ric Flair and Arn Anderson (Outback Jack) and The Hollywood Blondes (Spinch): Three wins, one countout win, one loss. Seventeen points each, but
Flair and Anderson get the finals bid because of their win against the Blondes.
4. Rob Van Dam and Sabu (Metallikid), The Steiner Brothers (Carlito�s Coconut), and Billy Kidman and Balls Mahoney (Figure Foreskin): One win, four
losses, five points.
It�s Wildcard Standings Time!
1. The Hollywood Blondes (Spinch): 17 points.
2. Mike Sanders and Matt Striker (Gatorbait), The Blue Bloods (WLD), Paul London and Brian Kendrick (Jodrell), The Rock 'N Roll Express
(Attitude Adjuster): 15 points.
6. Rey Mysterio and Paul London: (Chris is Good), Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage (Jodrell): 12 points.
8. The Road Warriors (Attitude Adjuster), Harlem Heat (Carlito's Coconut), The Colossal Connection (WLD), The Paparazzi (Carlito's
Coconut), King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd (Outback Jack), The Ultimate Warrior and Randy Open (Figure Foreskin): 10 points.
13. AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels (Metallikid): 7 points.
14. Mark Jindrak and Sean O'Haire (Gatorbait): 6 points.
15. The Rock & Sock Connection (Spinch), Los Guererros (Chris Is Good), Kurt Angle and Steve Austin (Jodrell), Norman Smiley and Jesse Ventura
(Gatorbait), The Outsiders (Gatorbait), Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho (Chris is Good), The British Bulldogs (Outback Jack), RVD and Sabu
(Metallikid), The Steiners (Carlito�s Coconut), Billy Kidman and Balls Mahoney (Figure Foreskin): 5 points.
20. Tony Atlas and Juventud Guererra (Figure Foreskin), The Headhunters (WLD): 2 points.
I�m still trying to figure out how best to do the finals bracket� I�m thinking single-elimination (because double would kill me), with a seeding based
on the total number of points earned in the qualifiers and some kind of �strength of schedule� modifier based on the opponents and their final
rankings. I�m also debating on how many teams to pull from the Wild Card and whether or not to include byes. But we�ll cross that bridge once we get
through our last few rounds.

I'm still looking for the Zip Disk that I put all of the stuff on... it's somewhere in the last of the stuff that I have to unpack from
the move.
