2004 Armored Core

Silent Line

Tournament Wrap Up

The format for this tournament was as follows;  5 pools of players play everyone else in there pool.  The best winning record automatically advances to the finals.  The second best record goes to a wild card pool.    In the wild card pool the top player would advance to the finals.   The winner would be determined by another round robin in the final pool.  Here are the results;

Pool 1

Pool 2

Pool 3

This pool featured last year's winner of the AC 3 tournament.  Jeff however had a bit of a harder time this year as he failed to make it out of the pool.

Pool 4

In this pool Riven and Tom had the same record with three wins each.  Since they both were going to advance to either a wild card or a final, Riven would advance to the finals since he was the one who won between the two of them.

Pool 5

Wildcard Pool 

Erik took the wildcard pool to get a second chance in the finals.  He would face the young man who beat him in the preliminaries, 11 year old Caleb.

Final Pool 

About the only upset that occurred was when Caleb faced off against Riven.  In the first round Caleb had a very large lead over Riven, but with all the commotion Caleb failed to hear the warning sounds that he was going out of bounds.  In the second round Caleb left the area again.  This gave Caleb a loss.  As it turned out it was his only loss.  The only time Caleb actually had his mech destroyed was against his father, David.  David won the first round but Caleb won the match.  After that Caleb went totally undefeated.   Badfish, who was one of the winners of the team tournament the night before, also went with out a loss the entire tournament until the final match against Caleb.  Caleb won that match to tie their win/loss records.  So they had to fight again for the tie breaker.  This rematch yielded the same results as Caleb won the tournament.  

This years first place prize was $300!! 

Congrats to Caleb our 2004 AC Champion
