**************************
Seeker of Souls (IronMan):
This is an unofficial Redemption event.  Players engage in a regular Type-1 Two-player game. The winner receives a CHIP or CARD matching the defeated players badge. The winner may not accept any chip or card that does not match the defeated player's badge (for example: any card  may have won from another player.) You can only play any participant once (no rematches). If a player has run out of Chip Cards to lose he/she can no longer play any matches because he/she has no chips left to risk.  Matches CAN ONLY happen outside of scheduled official tournament play.
 
At a designated deadline, ALL participants must turn in all collected chip cards. The winner is the participant with the most collected unique cards/chips wins. Winners will receive awards.
