HR II TOURNAMENT REPORT

Jim Hart

The HR Tourneys, created by Jim Hart and Steve Rushing, are official ADB Sanctioned Tourneys, with the winner receiving a Rated Ace Card. These tourneys are played via PBEM, using the Compuserve Play-by-Mail forum rules in addition to the SFB Tourney Rules as expressed in Module T. The tourney is open to anyone with an E-mail address, although Compuserve members are allowed early registration.

HR II was the second and largest sanctioned on-line toruney in SFB history. It began in July of 1996, and will complete before the end of 1998. So it's not a QUICK way to win a Rated Ace card, but it is a fun tourney.

HR II has been a very successful on-line tournament. With the experience we picked up in the original HR I tourney, we've been able to move along at a pretty good pace. Several of the Round 2 games came down to a judgement, but overall, things have gone well.

I am not going to provide detailed game reports here. (I don't have enough to make them significant.) The important thing is, a lot of people are playing SFB, and everyone is having a good time.

We are now into Round 3, and three of those games were quickly over. The entire bracket for HR II is shown here.

*Crawford and Weiber both withdrew after an inconclusive first round game. Encoder re-entered due to the spectacular way he lost Round 1. (Failed displacement followed by HET breakdown.)

While Round 3 is not officially over until May 31, I suspect that three of the games will be completed shortly. Look for HR III, with Sandy Hemenway as the tournament director, to begin as soon as Round 3 is over.
