First things first; a congratulations to all who participated in season 6. This past season saw a slew of rookie combatants battling for the top spot in the hall of valor. Only 5 could make it, however, and so without further ado...

1. MatthewCrimson: Matthew took an early lead in the season and never looked back. After taking down 4 tournaments and breaking the point record for a single season, it was clear who deserved the number 1 spot.
2. RPSrox: This valiant rookie fought hard and was one of the most determined players of the season. He reached the finals of numerous tournaments but kept falling just short. As of the end of season 6, he is 2nd in most points in a single season.
3. SaxySam87: Sam is the only veteran player in this season’s hall of valor. Having been a part of Super Challenge since season 1, Sam had gone on quite a sabbatical. Previously, his best accomplishment was a 15th place finish in season 1. With a 3rd place finish this season, as well as 3 tournament wins, Sam had what was easily his best season.
4. KimbotheBimbo: The only female to make this season’s hall of valor, Kimbo got off to a slow start, but vastly improved on her game throughout the season. Through shear determination and will-power, she battled through numerous warriors, and fought hard to retain a spot in the hall of valor.
5. UhcamUceputac: As of this writing, Uhcam is no longer a part of Super Challenge. He fell down the ranks after being caught in a cheating scandal and leaving Super Challenge. Prior to that though, he won a tournament and held the #2 spot for quite some time.

With season 7 underway, various tournaments are popping up left and right. A new tournament archive is in the works that should list all of the prior tournaments in the site’s 7 season run. Because of this, it seems only fitting to come up with some kind of "hall of valor" for tournaments. How, you may ask? A new point system has been created (although not officially part of the site as of yet). Once the tournament archive is in place, you will be able to see how many tournament points a player has earned. The point system is based off of how many players entered a tournament. For example: If you won a 16 player tournament, you would receive 16 tournament points. Winning an 8 player tournament would give you 8 points. You only receive tournament points for winning a tournament. Also, tournament points are not to be confused with your RPS Score points for the season. This could be a long time down the road, but if there’s interest, this can certainly be done. Send your votes to the Commisioner at by clicking here. Let us know what you think.

And lastly, with the fierce competition towards the end of season 6, several determined players ran out of open challenges. New open challenges come periodically, but in order to stay competitive, AND to win more points, players are reminded of live challenges. Live challenges are quite simple to set up, especially through an instant messenger. MatthewCrimson and KimbotheBimbo are almost always up for live matches on AOL instant messenger, as are numerous other top-ranked players. Finally, remember to create new tournaments and join existing tournaments to keep the tournament circuit competitive.

Here’s looking to a thrilling season 7!
