Just a bit of background if any-one is interested.
Firstly, Living L is a bit dark on me because I T/O him on a couple of games some time back because he was dragging his feet but he found time to post when he should have been playing and second
The Aotearoa Clan has been in the pipe line for some time but I was polling other NZ'ers on RHP to guage the in ...[text shortened]... egister the clan. Brett L will confirm that I mooted this about a month ago.

But about the T/O's, you timed both Feivel and me out in the Beta Duel Tournament, while we both had our vacation status on and we asked you to wait a few days! The games were claimed just a few hours after the option to claim was there, you advanced a round purely trough two time-outs in two games that were hardly started and in wich you would have found 2 very worthy opponents, judging by your rating!
Sorry, forgot that you were a female...I would almost say something that would make this post dissapear, so I keep that in my head...

Yes I do remember that and immediately regretted it. It was at that time that I was travelling and my game load was high and every-one seemed to be in and out of vacation.
Compounding all that the "clock warning icon thingy" was not enabled and I was getting timed out too. ( chewie t/o me while I was on site and trying to move seconds after the deadline) so for my part it was an over reaction and unfortunately, as you state, seriously impacted on that rounds results. Fot this I apologise to yourself and Fievel. I am a better player than that and most who know me would consider it out of character. I hope we will play each other again soon and in a better spirit than before

Originally posted by VargWhen Russ asked me what format i wanted, i thought to keep it small and find out what reaction we got as it`s the first one. maybe later we can do a bigger one. But as you will see people only seem to see an open tournement and enter without first reading the title. it`s taken `till now to eradicate the non "leaders" so you can imagine what woul have happened if it started out with 100 plus entrants.
It seems a bit daft that the tournament has a limit of 32 entrants when there are so many clans.
