Happy Monday! I know, I know, your weekend was WAY too short, but let's kick this week off right with a Weekend Wrapup about your community events. First let's get an update from PlanetTR's Andriss with the results of the Blind Race Event and then find out who to congratulate as the winner of the Friday Night Fights with PTR's Deadringer.
Planet TR's Blind Race Event
Our second blind race went just as well as the first!
We had four teams competing, and a couple of them only met their partners that day! The first team completed race in about 30 minutes, but they worked hard throughout the week to perfect their time. The rest of the teams eventually found their way through the route and the fustrations of being blind.
Congratulations to Sliversoul and Michaels for coming in First Place! Tully and Patton made their way into second place after a rocky start. Coming in third was Bethel and Kaczmanchoy after a few run ins with some walls! Finally, Adele and Venka took the scenic route and made it to the finish line! Listening in on the coaches and racers was a blast! We heard a lot of your other lefts, and tads to the right. Fustration was in the air, but each team stayed calm! Thank you to everyone who came out to race and cheer on our participants!
Congratulations Sliversoul and Michaels!

Friday Night Fights
It was a record setting night for Friday Night Fights as we touched down on the Orion server for a little recreational pugilism and ended with a heck of a grudge match!
In the First Round: Machka defeated Belo, Nakayama beat Dunsel, Glass overcame Liverpool, Blackburned defeated Andriss, Slamscape beat Kamaka, Konkrete overcame Blamecritters, Chandler defeated Bethel and Youngblood beat Sliversoul.
In the Quarter-Finals: Nakayama defeated Machka, Glass beat Blackburned, Konkrete overcame Slamscape and Youngblood defeated Chandler.
In the Semi-Finals: Glass defeated Nakayama and Konkrete beat Youngblood.
In the Finals: There are only two words to describe the final match this week - Grudge Match! Three out of the last four weeks have seen Glass dominate the field but on that one week that he was not present, Konkrete stepped up and won the PTR Anniversary FnF and the coveted Golden Gloves. In a great match, Glass kept his streak intact and won his Fourth Championship, a record for FnF.
In the Final Challenge: Being the FnF Veteran he is Glass immediately demanded his challenge and chose his first opponent, Konkrete. Konkrete paired up with Youngblood while Sliversoul was placed with Glass. In a match that saw Glass and Konkrete both knocked out, Sliversoul hung on to his last sliver of life to claim victory for himself and Glass.
It was another great night at FnF. We saw a number of new faces mixed in with the veterans and we hope to see more new fighters in the coming weeks as we seek to answer one burning question..."Can anyone stop the reign of Glass?"
