Re: Introducing... the H2H-o-Matic!

For events like COLIN where each round has 2 games that are effectively treated as happening simultaneously, it may f...

Evening all It's been a couple of months, so it's probably time to make this post. As most people are probably aware, I've been hosting COLIN- Countdown in Lincoln, aka 'the Lincoln co-event'- for 17 years.
