Hi all! I thought I would send a quick message of clarification and welcome to all of the players and waitlisters in our Supreme Commander tournament. Thanks for joining in, because I think we'll have a blast.

　　I wanted to firstly throw out some information regarding the issue of a potential draw in a match. It's unlikely but not impossible for a match to end in a draw, should a Commander's defeat explosion take down the enemy Commander as well. If there is a draw based on a Commander taking down the other at the time of explosion, the winner is the Commander that was first destroyed.

　　Thanks for your patience. Play well!

　　Also, bear in mind that the two losers of the semifinal round will play a match to determine the third player that will play in the finals. That match is at 6PM PST on Thursday, March 15. You do not see this match listed on the calendar due to limitations of the tournament system. But should you make it to the semifinal rounds, be aware that you will play a second match if you lose in that round.

　　Oh, and one last thing regarding the schedule. Because you are seeded into future rounds by match completion time, you cannot choose the time of matches outside of the preliminaries for which you have already. If you have schedule restrictions, you may email requests to [email protected] and I will try to accommodate them. However, I can not make any promises regarding match time. Also, match times for Wednesday and Thursday will not publish until the prior round has concluded, as seedings will otherwise not function as they should otherwise. As soon as the final match is concluded on Tuesday, Wednesday's schedule will post.

　　If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected]. Remember: play hard, play nicely, and show your opponent the same respect you expect in return.
