Wow! UW has been going on for two months now? Only 8 weeks in and so few remaining fighters. Seems to be wrapping up unusually quickly. Is there a Dethroner this year?

There doesn't seem to be much point in running Dethroner since Keeper nerfed the challenge system on turn 1115.

This is Samurai!!11's first time winning UW.  WooHoo!

Congratulations, Samurai!!11!

Sorry, could you explain what it is about the challenge system that is not working? Is it just that challenges are harder to get through? Has he reduced the overall chances of getting a challenge?

If so, the benefit might be less cherry-picking, something that has run off a lot of players over time. Maybe the change might help BP sustain the managers that it has...

I'm not sure what he did, but if you look at the challenge section from turn 1114 going back, there were way more challenges than there are now.  It is very hard to get a challenge in now.  Gladiators that have more than one manager going after them are having their UW fate determined in random matches.  My war with Gern/Nads has fizzled.  It just isn't worth the time to research potential challenges any more, since they almost never go through.

Fizzling wars is no fun...I see your point.
