Sissy wins Holiday Masters

Tournaments News

“Queen” Sissy is the winner of the 2024 Holiday Masters after winning back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday.

A day after regaining her confidence by pulling even with her daughter, Nici, Sissy produced a convincing display and clinched the first level-2 title of the year.

Harry is the winner of the 2024 Winter Masters and the first leader of the 2024 Medal Race after winning Game 3 on Saturday afternoon.

“Triple Crown Queen” Sissy remains winless in 2024 but is certain to remain #1 on the 3T World Rankings for at least five more weeks.

For Sissy, Game 3 was a must-win as Nici and Harry had shared the first two games last week and were only one win away from winning the first-to-2-wins tournament.

Board announces changes for 2024

XMädn News

Ahead of their Annual New Year’s Banquet, the XMädn Board has announced substantial changes for the upcoming 2024 Season.

“The inaugural season was highly experimental,” XMädn Chairman and Board spokesman Harry said. “That’s why the schedule lacked structure and the season spanned almost one-and-a-half years. This must and will change.”

Starting in 2024, annual seasons shall consist of three sub-seasons which will be “Masters” followed by “Grand Prix Series” and finally “Championship”.
