Brilliant, sir. Can only see a list of games rather than the seedings table, mind, but brilliant nonetheless. Thanks!

Maybe you're not cool enough to see it?

PS Did you decide how many people you're gonna have in the finals?

You've forgotten Innis from the Seedings.

Hadn't anticipated anything other than the usual 8. Seems good to me.

Bishop 99 - 45 French

A lot of nasty letter selections, which may have played a little into my hands.

Do we slug Kevin Davis off..... he's not been around since October!

I haven;t checked you're correct, I've just trusted you.. and set up Bishop vs. Doohan for the next one. Get on it boys, good luck!

James Doohan · Post by **James Doohan** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:28 pm

James Doohan 113 - 74 Martin Bishop

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 4:18 pm

I'm tired and I fucked up. I did James Doohan-Jamie French and it's supposed to be James Doohan-Martyn Simpson.

Can you fix it for me Charlie, or let me know how I can? Sorry.

James Doohan · Post by **James Doohan** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 5:44 pm

James Doohan 88 - 82 Martyn Simpson

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:36 pm

Cool. Well it got fixed it seems, but the result didn't take hold. Any ideas Charlie?

Anyway I've added Doohan-Robinson. Good luck Jameses.

I'd guess they matched each other rather than taking the tourney game, but anyway I've done it for you manually now.

James Doohan · Post by **James Doohan** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 7:48 pm

James Robinson 114 - 90 James Doohan

My good run is over, well played James

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Sun Mar 13, 2011 8:19 pm

Nice one Doohan. Robinson-Leroux up next, get on it James(es). Total Jamesfest at the moment.

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 10:30 pm

Time to give this a kick up the arse? It's been a week since the last game.

In fairness, I hadn't, but I have now and hopefully it'll be done tonight.

I believe the Wiki says it's James Hall v Heather Badcock.

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 7:55 pm

Sorry, I had no idea James's 4th game had been completed. I know it's all reported automatically but (in a rare turn of events) I'm utterly busy at the moment and would never think to check unless people post here. So, thanks for bringing my attention to it Charlie. I've set up James Hall vs HB, which means I'll have to set up HB's PayPal payment later on!

James Hall · Post by **James Hall** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 7:28 pm

Is Heather about at the moment? I've been keeping an eye out for her online but haven't seen her recently.

She's (we're) watching the Spurs game at the mo James. I'll try and get her to come and have another look for you post-full time. She had a look for you at half time and Lesley said she'd only missed you by half hour.
Hopefully if Spurs end up losing, she'll beat you in the tourney game and then I might still be able to get some sex tonight.

If??? You posted at 8:45. Wasn't it obvious they would lose at that stage?

Sssshhhh. Don't tell her that.

Incidentally, despite her annoyance I did make her sign in and stay that way for about half hour from 9:45 to 10:15 but no sign of James.
She's busy tonight, smelling more like tomorrow now, sorry.

Ack, tomorrow's no good for me unless it's a bit later (10ish). Any good?

Round here, piece means sandwich, especially one taken to work/school for dinner.

Excellent. I may be 5 minutes late and/or slightly inebriated because we're going for pizza to celebrate the end of term. The pupils have finally buggered off for the next couple of weeks!

Rhys Benjamin · Post by **Rhys Benjamin** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 5:12 pm

What happened to tomorrow, James? We break up early (more posting

) at 12:30 rather than the rather odd layout we have, which is from Monday to Thursday we finish at 4:00, and on Friday we finish at 3:20.

Couldn't agree more.

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Sat Apr 16, 2011 10:37 am

Sorry I'm pretty shit at remembering to check the played games (be cool if we could subscribe to a tourney's results or something? maybe not am just lazy)

anyway, gillies-pettettetet added.

Lesley Hines · Post by **Lesley Hines** » Mon Apr 18, 2011 10:35 am

Has anyone else noticed James and John played their game at 4:30 ish in the morning? Respect for dedication to the cause!

Rhys Benjamin · Post by **Rhys Benjamin** » Sat Apr 23, 2011 12:50 pm

Pettet has beaten Gillies.

Martin Bishop · Post by **Martin Bishop** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:19 pm

Nooo!! Lloyd's won again and now just needs 77 points in his next game to overtake me on the leaderboard. Come on Eoin! Smash him!

Eoin Monaghan · Post by **Eoin Monaghan** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 7:44 pm

Super game, Lloyd nicking it with a lovely numbers solve. DEBALANCE seemed more likely than DANCEABLE to me.

Not unlucky with the numbers, I was nowhere near the final one, it was a great solve, well played.

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 12:13 pm

Shit it you bastards. A few days away from C4C and people actually get on with playing tournament games proactively for once. Typical.

In other words, the game had not been added to the tournament system and now Charlie's going to have to do it manually, please Charlie.

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 7:33 am

I don't think it's a problem for Charlie to enter a previous game manually whenever he can, so based on that I've added Eoin versus.... oh for fuck's sake, it's me.

Ian Dent · Post by **Ian Dent** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 8:08 am

But Eoin lost.

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 10:16 am

fucks sake. can't get anything right!

CHARLIE - HELP PLEASE! Oh, hang on, looks like you already have. Ok, so I'll add and play Lloyd soon as I can. Maybe tonight but possibly not til Tuesday evening.

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Mon May 09, 2011 9:32 am

Lloyd - do you have the correct e-mail address registered to your apterous account? I must have e-mailed you about 6 or 7 times through it now, no response...

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Mon May 09, 2011 2:09 pm

Fucks sake. Lost 110-108 and had MAPHEADS^ instead of MOPHEADS, didn't declare WILLIE when I had a feeling it was good, and declared OUTRANG^ when I had a feeling it was shit.
Such a fucking personal anticlimax.

Ian-Peter added, ffs.

Ian Dent · Post by **Ian Dent** » Mon May 09, 2011 9:56 pm

Get in there.

I won, what a great feeling.

Sorry, been a bit slow here. Yes, I've pm'd Lesley now-hopefully we'll be playing towards the end of the week all being well.

Also, it's not currently in the system I don't think. I might be wrong though :O

Lesley Hines · Post by **Lesley Hines** » Mon May 16, 2011 10:40 am

Wednesday night - you got yourself a game

(unless it ends up being Friday, but either way plans are afoot).

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Mon May 16, 2011 10:49 am

Jonathan-Lesley added. As I've alluded to before, if I haven't updated a fixture within a day, please take 30 seconds to aptomail me and let me know it needs adding.

For my own benefit, remaining fixtures for the season:
Matt Bayfield
Josh Hurst
James Bradley
Scott Gillies
Dan Abrey
Mark James

I'm not really sure how the automated games will work once those fixtures are done, I need to talk to Charlie about it!
He's done a fantastic job with the auto-calculating finalists table on the right. I'm sure for next series he'll be able to let me just list a whole load of people in one go at the start and then the fixtures will be automatically sorted based on the previous winner and the next name on the list.

Lesley Hines · Post by **Lesley Hines** » Tue May 17, 2011 9:12 pm

In a game that swung back and forth, with lots of spectators (you bastards), Jon emerged the worthy winner.

I expect to be invited back for a special.

Hehe, good game Lesley, pretty lucky to win there, esp. when i saw curricula the split after misbuzzing with 'circular'-really thought I'd chucked it :O

Very close, could have gone 'either' way, very well played indeed

.

Next up, Matt Bayfield. Uh-oh :O

Don't worry, with a name like yours you can't lose.
