Title: WJT - Top 8 single elimination matches
Post by: Gis on January 25, 2011, 00:56:22
In the first of the Quarter Final matches we see Sir Seamus Flynn take on Sir Fergus.

Sir Fergus is able to hit Sir Seamus on the shield but the sheer power of Sir Seamus is something he was not prepared for. Sir Fergus gets lifted right out of the saddle and flies through the sky which signals the end of the tournament for him.

Sir Seamus Flynn moves to the Semi Finals.

The next Quarter Final features Aziz bin Tarek and Red Eye. There was much anticipation for this match, lets get right to it!

The anticipation is short lived as Red Eye gets thrust of his horse on the first run. In a desperate attack he manages to hit Aziz on his turban but the hit has no power behind it.

Aziz bin Tarek moves to the Semi Finals.

The next match is hopefully slightly longer, it will feature Lord Vladimir and Sir Bart.

This one is not over on the first run as both jousters hit nothing but air.

On the second run Sir Bart misses again but Lord Vladimir hits Sir Bart full on his body. Lord Vladimir just needs one more shield hit to win it.

Sir Bart is clearly shaken by the previous hit as he misses again and Lord Vladimir wins the match with an easy shield hit.

Lord Vladimir moves on to the Semi Finals.

In the last Quarter Final Sir Adler will face off against Lord Etir who is loudly encouraged by King Aun.

This match starts like we have seen many matches in the preliminary rounds start with a bit of a testing run resulting in a shield hit for both combatants.

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Winterhaven%20Jousting%20Tournament/T8/T8-43.jpg)

On the second run both jousters are still not fully on the offensive. Once again they don’t try anything fancy and the result is the same. Any point difference made by either person will now be enough to win the match.

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/gorraxpb/Winterhaven%20Jousting%20Tournament/T8/T8-44.jpg)

The last run of the match sees Sir Adler hit Lord Etir full on the shield where Lord Etir went for an outside hit but just misses Sir Adler.

Sir Adler wins the match and advances to the Semi Finals.

Noooo! Red Eye went down too? I don't know who to support anymore. Everytime I choose a champion, he fails! Maybe I should support Sir Adler...  ;D

Poor Sir Fergus  :'( If he has lost the fair Rosamund methinks he may spend the rest of his life as a wandering minstrel.
However Congratulations to Sir Seamus  :clap: and to show that there is no hard feelings, Sir Fergus would like to invite him to call at McCulloch's castle on his way back to Ireland for a spot of haggis hunting!  (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sport020.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

Oh and "Congratulations" to Aziz, Sir Adler and Lord Vladimir too.

Good luck to the final four!  Can't wait to see who wins.  I guess I'm cheering for Aziz because he beat me and then if he wins, I can say "hey, I was beaten by the best."  ;D
This has really been an amazing event for sure!

Congratulations to all four who go through to the next round, and especially to Aziz.

Commiserations to Sir Fergus, all is not yet lost.

Best of luck to the rest of my worthy competitors!

My good Fergus, Sir Seamus has never been known to decline an invitation to haggis or a pint (or twelve) of stout.  Hopefully the hard drinking Sir Seamus can find his way to the lists for the semifinals...

Alas, I had known Lord Etir was unlikely to win against the mighty Sir Adler of Saxony.
Still, he fought honorably even to his last.
I stand as my worthy champion rides towards me, head down.
"Arise, Lord Etir. Though you did not win the tournament, you did fight well and honorably.
You have proven the might of Rutileo. Fear not, it was by unhappy luck you lost.
Had it been another day, methinks you would have won the tourney.
Alas, that day was not today. Fear not. You shall be rewarded most highly when we return to Rutileo!"

With that my champion smiles, and bows once more to his opponent before riding to his tent.
