First of all I would like to thank @crystalhuman @aggroed and @yabapmatt for their dilligence when it comes to replying to so many people, being aware of the happenings and concerns, but it's my understanding that although some things aren't quite ready yet, there's not a single doubt: Steem Monsters has proved to be an amazing, enjoyable and competitive game, even when it comes to growing/stacking your collection up. We will soon reach a year from the start of this super cool journey, at least as a community in the bulding!

CrystalHuman approached me to host a single tourney and even though I was a bit nervous, because you never know if enough people are getting and checking in on time, or even if they want to participate at all, it's all a learning experience as we try to deliver and provide enough attention to a manual managed tournament for this game. And I also must credit the website https://challonge.com , it's a very cool site if you want to set up a tournament for any game. It automates a lot of things and makes the organization a lot smoother and of course, with fast and direct results.

As you can see enough people did sign up and I that is a very good feeling now that I think about it. I decided to give each participant a minimum of three battles (if you didn't move to the next stage) in a round robin group stage, where four contestants would fight it out one time against each other to get one of the top and only two spots for each group.

After 3 rounds this is a little proof on how they did and how standings were when they battled! Thank you all very much for participating in my first mini tourney.
