Day 4 of the tournament

The Tournament is fast developing a leading group who are vying for the top spots.
vCrow and VTX stand strong in first and second respectively. vCrow are roughly one day and 17 hours ahead of VTX whilst VTX are separated from third place SkB by a healthy 3 day and 19 hour margin. SkB have recently overtaken Storm and YARR! for 3rd place with a lead of 22 hours. The gap betweeen Storm and YARR! is now less than 5 hours.

However, the tournament is still very new as Solanar, leader of YARR! pointed out in GC earlier today: 'it's still early days and short notice, some of the big players may not even be aware there is a tourney on yet'. It is probable that the current rankings could be very different to the ones at the end of the tournament.

This is a copy of the tournament rankings as of midnight today:

In the last dev-run tournament, the alliances at the top at the end of the tournament were as follows:

	1		Valiant Crows [vCrow]	122 days 7 hrs 9 mins
	2		Victrix [VICX]	105 days 6 hrs 59 mins
	3		Elysian Fields [Shade]	104 days 23 hrs 36 mins
	4		Invictus [VIC]	82 days 1 hr 26 mins
	5		Æsir [Æsir]	51 days 9 hrs 9 mins

This has some resemblance to the current standings. vCrow and VICX (now VTX) are still on top however, it is there that the resemblance ends. Shade (now SHARK) and VIC are both languishing near the bottom of the table, placed 48th and 51st respectively, after a punishing war with SIN earlier this year. Aesir is still doing well and is currently in 12th.

In the most recent tournament which was run by Kodabear and Digioso, the top 5 was as follows:

1	Valiant Crows	347 days, 15 hours, 43 minutes, 20 seconds
2	Holy Storm Company	182 days, 17 hours, 50 minutes, 47 seconds
3	Slaves to Armok	147 days, 21 hours, 12 minutes, 16 seconds
4	Order of the Orc	136 days, 23 hours, 51 minutes, 48 seconds
5	The Colonist Empire	131 days, 5 hours, 32 minutes, 53 seconds

vCrow, again, was on top (wow, they are really good at tournaments), Storm came in 2nd, two places higher than it is currently at. StA are in 7th so may be able to repeat their 3rd place if they do well later on in the tournament. HORDE are close behind StA in 8th. TCol is in 14th.

After an initial spike, market prices are beginning to return to normal and in some cases have fallen compared to pre-tournament prices though beer is still expensive at 172 gold per unit in Centrum (lowest sell offer).

I will be publishing the tournament rankings from around midnight over the days I have missed at some point.
