Re: Countdown in Leicester (CoLei) - Saturday 30 August 2008
That's the situation with COLIN, but as COBRIS (and COLEI too I think) have games where everyone plays with the same letters ("Swiss Tournaments" I think the term is), you don't need the 3rd person to host, so its just tables of two then. Swiss tournament is nothing to do with whether eve...

Susie just used "revometer". Is that in ODE? It was called a tachometer when I went to school.

Re: Spoilers for Monday, 21st April
