*Week of 15-NOV-06 -
**[[Alma Finnegan]] makes "brilliantly executed win over [[Oliver Pohele]]", placing her at the top of the board. {{WaybackS1|www.perplexcitysentinel.com/archives/2006/11/finnegan_overta.html}}
**[[Gabriella Petel]] has been slowly sinking through the ranks and has become dangerously close to being knocked out despite last year's stellar performance;
**[[Ethan Roanoke]] bested [[Ryan Cahill]] in their Tuesday match, though Cahill has since recovered the points;
**[[Klaus Johnson]] has bowed out of the tournament, citing health reasons.
*Week of 15-DEC-06 -  
**End of the Knockout matches!
**[[Serena Duncan]] overtakes the lead, having beaten out [[Klaus Johnson]].

**Child Prodigy [[Myra Champaign]] beats out [[Ryan Cahill]] in a Saturday Match
**[[Myra Champaign]] makes surprise victory, beating [[Serena Duncan]] in the grand final match, becoming the second youngest player ever to win the PCAG.


===Championship Matches===
===Scandal!===
*02-AUG-05 - Championship Season Officially Opens
*05-SEP-06 - Insiders inform the Sentinel "a serious investigation is underway regarding the illicit use of cognitive enhancement during the final three weeks of championship play over the last four years."
*06-AUG-05 - Weekend Highlights:
**Observers and players in the games, including [[Gabriella Petel]], have stated this may be nothing more than a publicity stunt.
**[[Ryan Cahill]] plays his first match, marking the popular Season Opening
*15-DEC-06 - After no apparent action for months on end, [[Paula Ching]], director of the [[Substance Compliance Program]] at the PCAG, reportedly approaches completion on an in depth investigation of drug use among athletes. No word yet as to who may be indicated, though she did state great caution is being taken to ensure the integrity of the games.
**[[Serena Duncan]] impressively beats [[Ryan Cahill]] 5-2.
**It appears to be not a publicity stunt at all, and those who have something to worry about should probably start worrying.
**[[Myra Champaign]] 4-3 win over [[Franz Lambert]]
*05-JAN-07 - Rumor has it the [[Academy Oversight Committee]] had gained information implicating none other than [[Sente Kiteway]] in a coverup of [[Ryan Cahill]]'s enhancer usage in the 267 and 269 championship finals.
**[[Georgi Shepherd]] 4-3 win over [[Lucius Jorgensen]]
**It is very possible Kiteway may soon face criminal fraud charges, among other things.
**[[Jack Fleury]] surprise 6-1 victory over [[Gabriella Petel]]
**No word on Cahill's theoretical fate.
*13-AUG-05 - Weekend Highlights:
*15-JAN-07 - [[Sente Kiteway]] Arrested!! [[Ryan Cahill]] Arrested!! [[Violet]] almost arrested!! [[Scarlett]] broken!! Rocks falling from the sky!!
**[[Mikhail Terpening]] vs. [[Kevin Hamlet]]
**[[Ethan Roanoke]] vs. [[Janice Termigant]]
**[[Klaus Johnson]] vs. [[Jeannie Murrow]]
**Terpening, Roanoke and Murrow were favoured to win.
*20-AUG-05 - Weekend Highlights:
**[[Alma Finnegan]] defeated [[Oliver Pohele]], for her first win this season
**This exciting match went into overtime, and was marked with excitement all round.
*12-SEP-05 - Weekend Highlights
**[[Ryan Cahill]] spectacularly defeats [[Myra Champaign]], 6-1
**The match is seen as a classic example of experience over aptitude.
**It was a much needed win for Cahill, who has been performing somewhat poorly all season.
*24-SEP-05 - Weekend Highlights
**[[Ryan Cahill]] continues his winning streak, defeating [[Ethan Roanoke]]
*15-OCT-05 - Weekend Highlights
**[[Oliver Pohele]] defeats [[Serena Duncan]]
**This is seen as a huge move for Pohele, and under-dogs everywhere.
**Duncan is still favoured to win the championship, and this one loss will not greatly affect that.
**As the season has gone on, however, this advantage appears a bit less certain.
*The week-2 Team Games:
**[[Serena Duncan]] comes out on top, re-discovering her edge
**[[Ryan Cahill]] comes in a very close second, tying up the whole championship.
**Notable people to be removed from competition include:  [[Gabriella Petel]], [[Klaus Johnson]], [[Georgi Shepherd]]
*The week-3 hihlights:
**[[Maureen Fender-Hu]] controversially eliminated in a match against [[Ryan Cahill]].
**She rang in her buzzer mere moments AFTER [[Ryan Cahill]], even though she clearly had the answer well BEFORE he did.
**Her elimination is seen by some fans as favoritism on the part of the judges, who are pandering to a desire to see [[Ryan Cahill]] and [[Serena Duncan]] go to the final competition.
*Championship Highlights:
**The championship match was held Sunday, 15-JAN-06
**Defending Champion [[Serena Duncan]] went against [[Ryan Cahill]]
**Things were going well for Duncan, and a win seemed imminent.
**Suddenly, a last minute shift was seen, and Cahill seemed to leap into a surprise lead.
**Cahill took home the championship title.
**Duncan seemed rather bitter, and may be seeking an investigation as to his performance.


===[[PCAG Earth Matches]]===
*In early January 2006, [[Mind Candy]] and [[The Academy]] announced the first ever [[PCAG]] mathes to be held outside of the city.
*'''Website:''' http://www.perplexcity.com/events/forthcoming/index.html
