He moved the capital of Delhi to Daulatabad in Maharashtra for centralization after his conquest of Warangal Fort in Telangana. Tughluq defended India in the north against the Chagatai Khanate, and was later defeated by Prithvi Chand II in in Kangara. Tughluq standardized brass and copper coinage, taking away from the market value of gold.

Just curious - what platform will you be using? Discord, Zoom, Google Meet, Buzzin.live?

Well, at least our teams will be guaranteed 1st or 2nd place. :-) Seriously, though, we hope there are enough teams. The SCOP sets are really great.

Vishal,

The date for this tournament is just a little over a week away, so we need to know whether or not it's going to happen. Did you get more than 2 teams signed up? Monrovia could probably put together a 2nd team, but if that only brings the total to 3, that's not much of a tournament.

Thanks,
Robin

I'm not sure if this was still happening or not. But, we're going to have to back out.

This event is going to be cancelled unfortunately as we cannot obtain an adequate number of teams.
