TIT3 Team Cup CANCELLED and Singles Cup prize info -doobie- Nov 22 05:56pm -29 comments- |
|
The Team Cup has been cancelled due to a severe lack of participation. In the future, if you're going to sign up for a tournament and have people invest the amount of time they've invested setting up these tournaments, make sure you're committed to actually playing. The Singles Cup is only barely having enough participation to make it worthwhile, and to be honest we're all a little frustrated by it, so that means no tournaments for a while. Along the same lines, we've downgraded the singles cup prizes from the full size Replica FX hilts to the .45 scale ones you can find on starwars.com. This has been done because of two things: 1, the full size hilts recently went up in price to a point that we simply couldn't afford, and 2, there has been some unfair doings in the tournament that led us to decide, no matter the point, that we simply cannot stand behind our VERY generous original offer. This is a heads up to everyone. We have a sense of honor and duty at the Academy. We have staff members who work very very hard to try and make this place as fun as possible, whether it's running tournaments, teaching classes, or just being around. When people start to abuse that hard work and abuse the code of honor, we all start feeling like we're being used. This will NOT continue. If we notice people doing things they shouldn't be doing, we will remove you from the Academy. If it becomes a widespread issue, to the point that we can't handle it... well we'll make it very clear that this is a volunteer place and we'll simply end our volunteering and go home. No one wants us to do that. There's a level of decency and respect. If you say you're going to do something, be it sign up for a class, a tournament, meet a friend, unless you have a REALLY good reason to break that promies, you should be there. Otherwise you're just pissing all over your friends here. It's not about committing your life to the Academy. It's about stepping up and doing your part to keep us great and to keep trust amongst the students. I expect better out of you all. |

A word from your local sports team... -Virtue- Nov 16 12:51pm -15 comments- |

Jaiko D'Kana has recently announced that due to technical difficulties and scheduling conflicts, he will no longer be able to captain the Jedi Academy Aurochs. At the same time, he has decided to pass on the baton to Janus. When I spoke with Janus, he was extremely hyped about this, and has great hopes and ideas for the Aurochs. Tryouts for the new roster will begin soon! Good luck to you Janus, we can already see great things coming from you! |

Yes that's right, the TIT3 has officially started! We had a great opening ceremony complete with a skit, JAK+ dancing in twi'lek bikinis, a conga line, long speeches, and lots of rockets shot by me! We also announced that the winners of the Singles Cup get official replica saber hilts (team cup prizes to be determined still)! But now the tournament is underway, so those of you in the Team Cup, you have until Friday at midnight to finish your first round, while Singles Cup, you have until Wednesday at midnight! Be sure you get a JAK, JAT, staff, or JAC to referee, and send the results to ja_tit3@yahoo.com. Best of luck! Virtue's original post: My most sincere apologies for the delay, guys. Come join the launching party on JK3 Home. Get the map here |

That's right, TIT3 is here! The Thanksgiving Invitational Tournament, a staple of the Academy since the beginning, is back, and this time it's bigger than ever! We're having a saber-only Singles Cup as usual, but in addition we're having an all-weapons Team Cup, with 16 teams of 3 competing for the gold and, as usual, this is for students only... No JAKs, JATs, JACs, or staff. Sign up for the singles tournament here and for the team tournament here or BOTH! The tournaments start on Monday, November 8. Good luck! |
