"So, and that's the end of the first portion of this exciting Gladiator contest, and now we need to gather the results and see who has a chance for the title. Skanky, what's your take on this?"
"My take? Well, I'll take shome more drink, pleashe... *Hic*"
"Ah, I guess there were too many defensive rounds and his alcohol intake was a little too high. We'll have to go to our reserve ex-gladiator commentator, Drogue, to reveal the final standings in reverse order."
"Thanks, and it's certainly been an interesting finish to the round robin. Coming in in last place, The Ram, whose earlier performance left a little to be desired, has managed a convincing victory against Smasher, rendering him unable to finish the bout. Perhaps this improvement will prove to him that he has promise and serve as an incentive for him to continue his gladitorial career.
"Smasher himself came in seventh, with a win, a tie (the brutal double-KO against Theben) and a KO under his belt. Perhaps he is dissapointed by this, but I believe if he refines his style somewhat, he could get further next time.
"Spacius won three of his mathces, but got no KOs and came in sixth place with 9 points. He was knocked flat by the Doctor this time, but both his other matches, against Theben and Hercules Romani were decided only by a hair.
"In fifth place, Hercules Romani, who seems to have stuck pretty firmly to defensive play, with the occasional suprise attack, including his impressive performance against the Doctor in the last collection of matches. Unfortunately for him, he managed to win only one of his final matches, which was not enough to take him into the top four.
"In fourth place, our first semi-finalist, who will face the leader, is Chaunk. Chaunk, the mysterious newcomer, has analysed his opponents well, and with skill and luck has made it through the round-robin largely intact. Though he achieved no KOs (but did come close against Theben), his tactical play gained him four wins and a tie.
"In joint second place, and fighting each other in the other semi-final, both with 15 points, Theben and the Doctor, both veterans of the arena. The Doctor started slow, but his fabled Rapier Wit has served him well once more, gaining him more KOs than any other player. These two also faced one another in a semi-final last time around, where Theben was defeated by the Doctor, but in their match this time around Theben was victorious - which performance will be repeated this time?
"And our victor this time, with his trusty katana, is Jamski-San, who will face Chaunk in the semi-finals. Jamski-San defeated all of his last three opponents, and is clearly on-form, but has he done too much, too fast, or will he have enough left to carry him through the remainder of the contest? Stick around and find out!"
"Thankyou Drogue, and, for those of you who are interested in the details, here is the table of final results from the round-robin:"

"The semi-finals will be beginning soon, as soon as the gladiators have had a chance to recover from these violent final stages and prepare themselves for the combat to come."
[OK, I don't think we have any notably defensive players in the semis, so I suggest 120HP for both, but if any of the players involved object then we can stick with 100HP for their match.
Before we begin the semis I'll give everyone a day to look over everything and double-check my results to avoid mistakes. Speak now or forever hold your peace  .
We will have both semi-finals simultaneously (and I'm not an engineer, but I do talk to them a lot).
If the semi-finalists could tell me a little about their gladiators to aid me with my storytelling then I'd appreciate it - things like Jamski-San using a Katana and a bamboo shield. I can only take the whole chicken thing so far...
Is there anything I've forgotten?]
