Will only post messages once from here on in!!!!!.
Chimane has won the first round game against Cathleya by default and moves on to play Ron Lumm in Round 2.
The winner of that game will then play flyerguy who is currently beating up a friend of mine (PAHTZ) in preparation for this game.
There are still a few Round 1 games yet to begin ... time is running out guys and gals. The rules for resolving these games have been posted - please contact me if you need any further assistance.
Outofthebox vs Lazarus
Red Pawn vs Kapablanca

Chuppy's next game is against Carpe Diem, and the winner of this game will play Trond in the round of 16. Carpe Diem is currently quite distracted by virtue of the matchup with Neeta - so another upset is on the cards!!!!
Still waiting to hear from outofthebox and/or lazarus_a regarding their first round game.

It appears that the error in our team score is not going to be corrected, so I have adjusted all the historical data to remove the 38 games dropped by GameKnot.
These were games completed between 12/21/2002 and 1/30/2004 and the cumulative score on the games was -12.
All were played by former teammates: 7afee (2), dalex2003 (6), golfman (4), hell-on-wheels (4), hut1 (2), jeanlucpicard (4), kennethg (2), muksim (2), narassimmane (10).
Our new team score is +188 on 8,902 games and our all time high is +201 which was achieved on 1/17/07.
brocoli256 has withdrawn from the team, and unfortunately appears to be forfeiting all current games. Fortunately, he has only 5 games remaining, but we are going to take a little hit.
If anyone has a nominee for a replacement teammate, please let me know and encourage them to apply for membership. I would like to keep the membership at 40, if possible.
Preference will be given to non-USA applicants, but anyone can apply.

So, I timed out. Hate that. Simple oversight. All my games had over 2 days to move--I had
pushed them all out intentionally and one must have slipped thru the cracks.
And this...THIS is how I break my 8 game winning streak...I could spit fire.
DoK
An 8 game winning streak...that goes back to November....See you in the spring.
