From Kith Kanan, regarding the Ancrik Birthday Bash:

The second email entry recieved came from Infininight over at the Myth Village. He guessed October 10, 1997. He was correct.

In the weekends surrounding October 10, Ancrik will be holding a tournament. The first week will be the QR. The QR will consist of playing 1x1 on a map of your choice against a member of Ancrik. It will be open from the morning of Saturday, October 6 to midnight on Sunday, October 7. Those who win the 1x1 battle will move on to round 2 the following Saturday. Those who lose may challenge a second member of Ancrik, however, the second challenge is the last that may be made (if you lose it, you're out). After the QR, rounds will consist of normal FFA style games. These will be announced after the QR is complete. Anyone interested may email me to secure a spot, or just find a crik without an opponent.

Those who have signed up will be given priority status in the QR (if there is are more challengers than 'criks available, those who sign up play first). And remember, you choose the map for the QR. It's up to the 'crik to decide the other specifications - though he may very well ask you what you'd like to play
