Two things to talk about

way to go in your 2 games dave its good to see someone holding up for the good old U S of A

They aren't won yet...Barolo is one hell of a player...but I am pretty
sure on one and the other at the worst is a draw..neither of us it
seems can find an advantage.

But we do need the points that is for sure.

Thanks Paul.

Dave,
I'm loading my guns up for the next tournament. Way to go on
your games.

Assistant Captain Team USA :-(
King of MAP
Little grasshopper
Most Titled Player
And I almost forgot it "The Ambassador"

The next one it seems will be a knockout...that is what I think the
majority wants...although I might take more of a limited role in it.

The way it would be done is that we elect a TD (Tournament Director)
and a few Asst. TD's and then set up the matches and then we go
from there.

We could actually get going on it if you all want.

As I said before it would be rating classes first....and when ya get
knocked out...you are gone.

The 1800 level should prove to be most interesting...there are only 4
of us!

Let me know what you all want to do.

Dave,
I'm in for a knockout. Since I spend most of my time in the 1200
group, would I be matched there? I'm enjoying games with lioness,
sintubin and islanddoc. I must enjoy getting my butt kicked around. T-
1000. I've got you on my slate for a game soon. When I recover from
my tournament loses. LOL.

Current rating would apply John...so if we start it now looks like you
would be in the 1300 group.

You wanna TD this thing?

Dave

Dave,
I don't think I know enough about being a TD nor do I feel I
have enough time. I'll gladly help Julia (lioness).
John.

Assistant Captain Team USA "Go TEAM! GO TEAM!"

I can do it I guess...but I would definetly need alot of help...this will
be bigger and alot more complicated than the current one.

Dave

Let me see if I get this right. John, you have made somewhere
around 45,000 moves, you are perhaps the most frequent contributer
to the forums, and you don't have time? Ratings aside (believe me
I'm with you) you are the "Great and Powerful Oz" of the site. I
believe you can do it. Kirk

"Ron" is getting tired of logging in to post, so he asked me to pass this along (LOL):
Ron would be pleased to set up a web page to help facilitate the next tournament. Figure out the
features that would make the tourney director's job easier, and we will see about implementing
them. Let's chat.

Email me Mike...i will give ya the skinny on how to set it up.

And why don't you set us up a pics page? We sure could use one!

Dave

Could our poet laureate, Rhymester, do a poem for this new
tournement? Another variation of a blessing to get it started of right.
Kirk

As soon as the announcement is made I would love to see a prayer
and a poem.

We still need a few more asst. TD's before I can even think about
asking for sign ups...you wanna help kirk? I could use ya.

Dave

Dave,
We need to keep Kirk as the tournament chaplain.
John
Assistaint TD (maybe for the 1300 group)

He is RHP Chaplain don't you know that? Which means he presides
over any activities we do.

The first ordained minister of RHP...although I have no right to give
that title...someone of a higher power I think has already done it.

Thanks John...and thank you kirk....we all love you both.

John...get hold of Jason and Tara...see if they want to help on
this..not getting much reponse so far.

Dave
