Anyhow, should still be a fun match and I'm looking forward to playing against such a high caliber team.

As all the maps (except Stanjel) were new to UO, there was not much time for anyone to really prepare for any of them. It would have been the same if Arnhem had been the last map. I actually think it adds a touch of reality to the tourney, in that there is little chance of seeing the same old stale strategies you would expect on say "Harbor" or "Railyard". It's going to be the team that can best (to quote) "Improvise, overcome, adapt" that will win, I think.
Just my opinion. Was a bit taken aback by the "degraded integrity" statement. There was quite a debate about the map rotation prior to the tournament, but in the end, it was a guess as to what would offer the best competition. The game was just too new to everybody at that point.
I have seen some great competition so far, and I don't think I've seen the last of it.
Thanks for the opinions, it will only make the next tourney better.
