Hey all, since jiovanni stopped updating this at the start of January this year, I, your friendly neighborhood moderator Kewkky Fromundaman Kewkky, will now take on the task of updating tourney results! I will also rank the kirbies who do best in tourneys to drown out the whole "I'm the best Kirby!" shebang, if you're a good Kirby then PROVE IT AT TOURNEYS AND NO JOHNS!
I will only be able to update this for 3 months before I leave to basic training, so whoever is up to the task later on, as we get closer to the date, he/she can ask to take the thread and I will choose who's the most responsible Kirby around the boards and choose HIM as your next leader!
Also, Y.b.M's and ChuDat's tourney results are never posted around here. I'd be very grateful if someone could find out their results from now on, and post them in this thread.
So, without further paragraphs, here are the results I have so far!

I will only be able to update this for 3 months before I leave to basic training, so whoever is up to the task later on, as we get closer to the date, he/she can ask to take the thread and I will choose who's the most responsible Kirby around the boards and choose HIM as your next leader!
Also, Y.b.M's and ChuDat's tourney results are never posted around here. I'd be very grateful if someone could find out their results from now on, and post them in this thread.
