2016 saw the Diplomacy drop to just 7 players playing one game. Unless there are signs of a resurgence at MidCon, this will therefore be the last ManorCon Diplomacy Tournament.

There was a very disappointing number of entries to this year's Challenge Cup: only three people entered. Many thanks to Stuart Stafford, Andy Bate and Martin Burroughs for trying. With such a low number of entrants, the format was changed to a round robin, where each player played the other two, yielding three qualifying games. The best two players would then go forward to the Final.
The first two games involved Martin Burroughs in both, and unfortunately, he lost both matches. The results were:
Stuart Stafford beat Martin Burroughs 14-5
2.Andy Bate beat Martin Burroughs 14-8
This rendered the third game superfluous, and Stuart and Andy played off in the Challenge Cup Final. The result was:
Stuart Stafford beat Andy Bate 14-6
Congratulations to Stuart on winning the ManorCon Challenge trophy.
Stuart went on to play current ManorCon Champion Mick Haytack in the ManorCon Champions Final. The result was:
Mick Haytack beat Stuart Stafford 14-3
Congratulations to Mick on winning the ManorCon Champions trophy.
