Welcome to Cove

Honestly, I had considered postponing/cancelling the event. Big thank ye t' Vespers Anna Maria Boon, an all the Veeties an Covians alike tha' showed up.

Got off to a rather uneventful start. Me explaining the rules of bagball, sorting out team members, et cetera. Alas! The action kicked in soon enough. The teams were...

Team InVINCEable: Redfield, Recruit Illae, and a mystery Veetie.
Team Carrot: Anna-Maria, Vaughn, mystery barmaid.
Team Ass: Hoagie, mystery men.
Team Tammy: Tammy, veeties.

Shocked at the level of anonymity. Ah well.

OOC: Sorry for the lack of pictures, it's quite late here and I didn't really have time to grab a load during the refereeing. More to come in next tournaments , I promise.
A rough start; Team Ass versus Team Tammy ended with a swift victory for Tammy's team, though all played exceptionally well. This wasn't a sign of things to come, however...

Next was Team InVinceable versus team Carrot....we were swiftly put down. Apparently, m'talent for bagball has faded w'age...*Sigh.*

I worked the tournament with two-strike elimination, allowing for us to still be in the game. No matter, team Tammy did well with eliminating us in a 2-1 victory. Good job to team inVinceable anyway, I suspect we were all a bit too drunk to care.

This left Team Carrot, Tammy with one elimination, and Ass. The results are as follows.

Ass looses to Carrot.
Tammy beats Ass.

This, at least, assured Hoagie's team a valiant third place. For the final round, I allowed single-elimination. The battle raged on for quite some time..I'm pretty sure someone actually died. Kicks, punches, illegal carrying, passing, and diving occoured throughout the entire game (and causes me to need a second ref for next time's tourney..), but here they were RAMPANT! In any event, after a close match...Team Carrot took the victory, and well deserved. Time for prizes, of course...

Team 3, Ass: Beautiful, ancient, dazzling (see: ugly, disgusting, quasi-tasteless) rugs! Woo!

Team one and Two, Tammy and Carrot, I let devide the loot to the tune of one million gold peices. Well deserved on both ends.

Special thanks to the Vesperians who ran the bar, Hoagie for helping me set up, Anna-Maria for inspiring such a large turnout, and everyone who came and participated! I hope you had as much fun as I did.
