From 11AM Friday until 9PM Sunday night, I had about 5 hours of sleep. Finally getting some sleep last night kind of cut into my prep time for the show. However I do not plan to extend the deadline this week. Madness should go on as scheduled with minimal delay.

It has come to my attention that those within the Fall Madness tournament may be a bit flighty. What I mean is, here for a few days, and gone for a couple weeks. Believe me, I have no issue with that. Real life takes precedent. That said, here's what I'm going to do: Within the next few weeks (after the Lottery PPV) this FMS Tournament WILL take place. It will be the top 8, as originally planned, competing in said tournament with the lucky winner going on to face the European champion at a future time.

Also on this card, will be a gauntlet featuring any Madness competitor that received a positive number of points. With that winner receiving a shot at the Television champion.

Here's the catch. If anyone in the top 8 fails to show up for the tournament, they will be replaced by someone who didn't quite make it. For example: John Austin and Griffin MacAlister both no-show. (I do not anticipate this since neither has ever no-showed on me to the best of my knowledge, this is just for the sake of giving an example.) That would mean that everybody that is below John Austin who is in 3rd place, would move up one spot. Meaning Liz Hathaway and LJ Havok would ultimately make the tournament.

So, when I determine a date, which I anticipate will be some time this week, I will post a closed booking thread. If you are on the list in the final FMS Standings post, you will be booked. No exceptions.

When that time comes, I expect you all to RP your asses off. Those not in the tournament may just find themselves in it.

My last point. I hope to have the opportunity to discuss the future of the Madness Series with Shane and Morgan, either together or separately, to figure out a simplified system in order to give everyone in the XWF a chance at earning points in the next installment of the Madness series which I hope to begin in December. The rewards for the next one will be much larger. I intend for that winner to earn a shot at the King of the XWF crown. However, this is just cluing you in on my current thoughts and is by no means official.
