I went through all the groups and found three games:
polarbear-rossoboy: Game 871483
rossoboy-polarbear: Game 871605
twchess-neldo: Game 870216
All games are far from finished.
The next round is, at worst, months away.

Incredible!! I've been holding down my games expecting about 14 with beasts like IM, Dave Tebb, In His Name, etc. etc. but now see that a handful of sluggards will apparently hold this tournament in thrall until it's 90 degress in northern New York! What is wrong with you people; 25 moves in over 4 months?????? I guess this blasts Flexmore's theory about 0 timeouts and large timebanks finishing faster than a 1/7 or 3/7!
now finish em please!

Say to us... how is your TB and how is polarbear's TB? according to our calculation, you both have no TB since May, 3rd... is it correct?

you did take longer than the tournament allowed ... you should not slow it down ...
polarbear: take the skull ... claim the win.

Yes the only game let. I know someone can declare a win and they should because there two players do not move on.
