Non-Combat Volunteers

The following players have volunteered to provide medical care and commentary, if either is needed. As always, non-combat volunteers do not have to be on this list in order to take part in the WMAT -- anyone can join in spontaneously at any time. If you're having trouble finding a medic or a commentator, try asking the people on these lists.

Neither commentators nor medics are required for your matches, but do come HIGHLY recommended!

Commentators

Forthcoming.

Medics

Forthcoming.

Prizes

The prize pools will be announced during this year's opening ceremonies. Additional surprises to be revealed during closing ceremonies!

Corporate Sponsors

Several companies and other sponsors are expected to contribute to this year's prize pool. Details will be announced during the opening ceremonies.

Participant Awards

As in previous years, the World Tournament Organization is pleased to once again salute and reward the skills of those contenders who risked themselves in the tournament, but did not achieve total victory. Many of our competitors exhibited talents and traits we found noteworthy, and we celebrate their admirable accomplishments today through special trophies voted on by others in the contest. Each recipient of a WMAT Participant Award will be sent their very own engraved trophy announcing their prowess in a given field. These awards and more will be given out during the closing ceremonies.

(OOC Note: No, not all of these categories are very serious. Yes, people may win more than one trophy, and yes, more than one person can win in a particular category.)

• CONSOLATION PRIZE

• • This year's consolation prize will be awarded in the closing ceremonies.

• THE GOLDEN MIC AWARD

• • Given to the person who either provided the most commentary or commentated matches with a particular zeal.
