Several issues to address from your posts:

1) weapons & armor- it wasn't specified that you couldn't trade or share weapons & armor but I think we all know that when you haven't trained or fought with weapons before their effectiveness is not 100% or even really close.

2) 499ers participation- this is an individual player tournament with nothing to do with a gang or gang participation therefore 499ers are free to participate and win. The tournament was sponsored by the 499ers. Everyone has an equal opportunity to win regardless of gang affiliation or where the payout funds come from.

3) All players must communicate with opponents. There is no code written for this and it is something that was done to be fun. For those unhappy with the format or things that may not be perfect I'm sorry but I'm trying to correct any ommissions and tweak any mistakes so that the $499k goes to the strongest players.

4) All 1st round matchups should be complete by midnight tonight so that the brackets can be updated. If for some reason you can't do it let me know & I'll try to make provisions, if we know who your 2nd round opponent will be I will contact them and let them know there is a delay.

5) If your opponent hasn't responded after repeated attempts and it gets past 7pm feel free to attack & email me results.

Hope this helps
