Good idea.

Active and interested

I accepted xroads challenge - my game is Game 19109457.

Thanks Tam!!

I encouraged Vlasov to sign up- has anyone seen his request? I will PM Tamaynet and Dukasaur - are there any training sessions getting ready to start? I am happy to play as on of the opponents

Thanks for the irony and the rung, Bobby. You're the best.

Appreciate the vote of confidence Steve but it appears Erik is the best - hope you get a shot at him soon.

Bobby don't sell yourself short.. almost any of us could lose to Elric. He is an adequate player and not ALL of us laughed at his mighty sword

Well I did lose to Elric. Actually, never beaten him in a match, I might have taken a game or two, but he is undefeated against me.

I was playing Erik ...

Thanks Elaterate - you run a nice tournament.

Just one other question. I am assuming since this is a doubles tournament, that scores of both players are aggregated so that it is the team total score which will count for the bottom line.

Keep up the great work. BT

Maybe the better question would have been where can I see the brackets?

good to know - is there a scoreboard?

In Group B, I won my first game against MyNameIsJack.
Here is the game:
Game 18878173

I won MGSteve's challenge 3-0 and now will retire to the bottom of the ladder where I can leisurely work my way back to the top through merit, I hope.

It was nice to go out in style by winning the challenge - here were the winning games:
18871885
18871986
18871883

I had never won Gazala Line ...

After I lost to Elric the Great, and posted the game, I mentioned that DIBS would be open as soon as you said so. xroads posted this on February 5, before you had said they were open, but when they were eligible ...

I am accepting Steve's challenge, billed as "HIPPIE v LAWYER ROUND 5"

Chuck, please let me retire from the ladder after Steve's challenge is completed. I need to become a better one on one player and starting back at the bottom when my game count goes down a bit would be more in keeping with my ...

This is an interesting question that I am sure Chuck will answer for us.

I don't think you could issue even a potential challenge against yourself though

I challenge Lord Arioch.

These are the games I have created. Will Wall and PM now.
Game 18863185 My settings
Game 18863186 Tie breaker

Good question Elric. I see the DIBS not as a challenge, but as a reservation of the right to challenge.

I have lost to Elric the Great, 2-1, as follows:

18822166 BT
18822163 Elric the Great
18824092 Elric the Great

So, now I will post my challenge, fulfilling the DIBS, against Lord Arioch

I ...

Chuck beat me to take over 3rd
18843633 Chuck
18843635 BT
18843718 Chuck

CONGRATULATIONS CHUCK! This was also the rubber match against Chuck, we were 1-1 in ladder matches. Total games in the three sets 5 Chuck, 4 BT, but the 3rd place slot goes to him. Well played. This round, the team who got ...

Thanks Chuck.

It is a small thing, but could you also fix my record? (Judge's can do that right? Isn't that why you took that bribe from me, remember?)

I was 1-4 on the old ladder. Am 3-3 right now on the new, so it should be 4-7 (soon to be 4-9 it looks like). It is this dismal mess that has be ...

Straight from the rules:

6. Polymorph games are allowed. Poly games CAN NOT be 4v4 poly or trench. All other game settings are fine.

But I saw no reference there to trench games being limited to 20 rounds, can someone help with this?

Quote from Steve:

Yes. And trench games must be limited to ...

Is it time for me to file my games against Lord? And for DIBS to once again be open? Don't want to jumped the gun so will wait for Judge Chuckie Poo to post this defeat.

Elaterate, I erroneously signed us up for this tournament - Captain B signed us for another of yours, the African Tour I think it is called, please withdraw us from this one. Sorry for any confusion which is entirely of my own making.

In please with Captain B

I am accepting Judge Chuckie Poo's challenge - here is my game.

I have waived my right to appeal from His Honor's decision.

And call DIBS now that Chuckie Poo has posted that DIBS are open.

I am on the way down in my match against Elric the Great, so I better take a shot at number ...

I've always tried to follow the credo of once the match for #1 is over and posted, then I immediately record the new challenge from whoever has DIBS and repost that DIBS is open. I try to send whoever had DIBS a note to let them know.

I also went back and looked at the Ladder posts regarding ...
