Written on June 14, 2013; I have no information on this
tournament other than the Atlantis rosters and the final
results: Atlantis I lost to Baader-Meinhof in the
quarterfinals, and Atlantis II to MOB in the finals. - Emil

Note that the reason I
am able to list DNP (did not play) in these early
tournaments is that until approximately 1990 no
substitutions were allowed except for injury (i.e. no
tactical subs).
