Gm qts. Make yourself a mug of hot chocolate and snuggle up to the fire, because this is the recap of CBA’s 6th Anniversary!!!
Advent Calendar
We had 14 wonderful days of advent this year filled with skilling, minigames, and snowball fights. Of note, the number of unique participants went up but the number of challenge completions went down 
Three adventers yoop7 , owlyqt , and sparkbizz walked away with 50m each, while RSvelo got a whopping 100m! Additional stats from the advent challenge:
Day 1 - Saturday December 10th
Man Hunt
12 teams full of boomers, rats, irons, and blessed fresh faces spent two hours pursuing the Man Hunt hosts across Gielinor and Zeah by way of cryptic clues. In the end it was an extremely close contest, with five teams within a 27 point spread and the top two teams echoing the results of the CBA's 5th anniversary by being only two points apart. Congratulations to gatekeepr, equimanthorn , sild , and T Raonaff!It cannot be understated how hard our wonderful hosts worked. Thank you to killerak41 , Lronmanbtw, crimblue , Scorchbeast , and rizk !
See below for the full results:
Gimmick Races and Social Night
thegame has been inspired lately to revive gimmick races, and this herculean effort has paid off! Interest in non-standard BA is at an all time high. For more info about the gimmicks themselves, click here or you can watch the whole thing here. Afterwards, cbaers wandered into the voice chat to partake in some jackbox games and skribblio, as is tradition. Drinks, smokes, yelling at Punyip, and a good time was had by all.
Day 2 - Sunday December 13th
The events of the second day were captured in full by our wonderful handsome stream team boz , LronmanBTW, and thegame (wrangled by Scorchbeast ). To watch the tourney in its entirety, click here.
Tournament
The race stream relied heavily on the contributions of S aii, Raideniza, and RSVelo. Without them, we would have been seriously lacking for race POVs and so we would like to thank all of them. For the tournament format, see this post here. In summary, 12 teams raced across four rounds of lightning fast BA, culminating in a four-way head-to-head-to-head-to-head race between teams captained by Don Moochie, Raideniza, Scorchbeast , and thordain . Despite the final race being quite close for the majority of the runtime, ultimately Team Don finished head and shoulders above the rest. Congrats Don Moochie, Tordont, Radeo , Nonfluid, and DeathsDarkoqt!
Here's a full list of the teams & results:

We started with a few new lieutenants: rhinowiz , Lauwe Holger, and thegame ! After that, we brought one deserving lieutenant into the captains, which was boz !! Somehow yangaruga also snagged a silver star.
We then hosted a drop party at the CBA Mansion where our lovely admins dropped over 2.5b in items.
Over the course of the weekend, CBA managed to disperse over 6b in prize money and drops.

Void Alch Roulette
Finally, we added a new and exciting event this year. 60 participants signed up for the chance at a two-faced prize: bring home a large prize at the cost of alching your entire elite void range set. Congrats to J oos!This is the best community bar none, extending outside of BA and outside of OSRS itself. Thank you for a wonderful six years.
