Why didn't Ned Stark appear in that contest ? He's a seasoned fighter with a valyrian blade, and had great fights in his youth (against 3 legendary Kingsguards - ok, with 6 friends to help him, but still...).

Eddard was in the contest. Check the first page. He had the bad luck of being pitted against Andrik the Unsmiling in the first round, and was defeated.

[b]OK, THAT'S THE END OF ROUND II.
Much longer and it will take me forever to count them all.

I'LL TALLY THEM UP AT LUNCHTIME.
(don't know how I got myself into judging this thread)

[b]RESULTS ARE IN![/b]

North - Round II
[b](1) Barristan "The Bold" Selmy [/b]Vs (8) Mag the Mighty "King of Giants"
Barristan prooves brain over brawn as he takes out Mag the Mighty

(5) Jon "Greatjon" Umber Vs[b] (4) Gerold Hightower[/b]
Strong showing for Gerold Hightower as he defeats the Greatjon

[b](3) The Smiling Knight [/b]Vs (6) Lyonel Baratheon
The Smiling Knight takes out the Stag

[b](2) Gregor "Mountain that Rides" Clegane [/b]Vs (7) Rhaegar Targaryen
those of you hoping for a rematch between the Dragon Prince and Robert "The King" Baratheon will be dissapointed

[DocBean]

South - Round II
[b](1) Arthur Dayne "Sword of the Morning" [/b]Vs (9) Gerold Dayne "Darkstar"
This one isn't even close, as the Sword of the Morning toys with his cousin, and makes a quick end to it.
Arthur is showing why he was the number 1 ranked fighter coming into this contest

(4) Areo Hotah Vs [b](5) Oberyn Martell "Red Viper" [/b]
The Red Viper came into this tournament with a chip on his shoulder. He's proving he deserved a higher ranking.

[b](6) Garlan Tyrell[/b] Vs (14) Aerion Brightflame
And the clock strikes midnight for our Cinderella, Garlan Tyrell is now our lowest seed in the Tourney.

[b](2) Serwyn of the Mirrorshield[/b] Vs (10) Lynn Corbray
Serwyn makes easy work of Corbray

[DocBean]

West - Round II
[b](1) Jaime "Kingslayer" Lannister[/b] Vs (9) Loras Tyrell
Jaime proves he was indeed faster and stronger then Loras the Rose.

(4) Andrik the Unsmiling Vs [b](5) Victarion Greyjoy[/b]
In an overtime postmatch interview: "See Euron, endurance is what really counts not the size of your member." -Victarion.

[b](3) Daemon Blackfyre [/b]Vs (6) "Strong" Belwas
"Strong" Belwas has a few more scares then he intended to have at the end of this one.

[b](2) Aegor "Bittersteel" Rivers[/b] Vs (7) Tormund Giantsbane
It seems a bald bear in the stands was indeed a distraction for Tormund Giantsbane as he falls to Rivers.

[DocBean]

East - Round II
[b](1) Aemon the Dragonknight [/b]Vs (8) Bronn
The Sellsword proved his worth, but it wasn't enough to defeat the East's number 1 ranked contender.

[b](4) Khal Drogo[/b] Vs (5) Duncan the Tall
Pull out the Horse Shampoo, the Khal is moving on.

[b](3) Robert Baratheon [/b]Vs (6) Syrio Forel
this one went to three overtimes, but the mighty King moves on.
Syrio was carted off, but no one seems to know what condition he's in.

[b](2) Sandor "The Hound" Clegane[/b] Vs (10) Brienne of Tarth
"The Hound" didn't underestimate his challenger, and even got a sweet song out of her in the end.
Excuse me while I go lose my lunch, that was just plain indecent.

[b]HERE WE GO. ROUND III BEGINS
SWEET 16[/b]
Some matchups to watch:
The Sword of the Morning will face his toughest challenger yet in the "Red Viper"
Daemon Blackfyre will try to prove that he deserved the number 2 ranking as he takes on "Bittersteel"
but the match to really keep your eye on is Robert Baratheon vs The Hound.
The Hound is big, tall, and fast with a long reach and great skill with a blade, but Robert is Bigger and it's been said that no man can withstand him when he dons his armor.

Remember this is no joust, it's a fight with armor and weapons of choice.
Only vote once, and don't quote a complete vote because I'll end up counting it twice.

[DocBean]

North - Round III
[b](1) Barristan "The Bold" Selmy[/b] Vs (4) Gerold "The White Bull" Hightower - i just think Barristan in his prime is something special.
(3) The Smiling Knight Vs [b](2) Gregor "Mountain that Rides" Clegane [/b] - I don't know enough about the Smiling Knight, but I'd be terrified of the Mountain

South - Round III
[b](1) Arthur Dayne "Sword of the Morning" [/b]Vs (5) Oberyn Martell "Red Viper"
[b](6) Garlan Tyrell[/b] Vs (2) Serwyn of the Mirrorshield - I need an upset or two

West - Round III
[b](1) Jaime "Kingslayer" Lannister [/b]Vs (5) Victarion Greyjoy
[b](3) Daemon Blackfyre[/b] Vs (2) Aegor "Bittersteel" Rivers

East - Round III
[b](1) Aemon the Dragonknight [/b]Vs (4) Khal Drogo
[b](3) Robert Baratheon [/b]Vs (2) Sandor "The Hound" Clegane - I thought long and hard about this one, but I don't think people give Robert enough credit. the hound is intimidating, but who has he really beaten?
Remember Robert used a Warhammer so big that most men, including Ned, couldn't barely lift it.
