I knew something would make me join Apterous eventually.
It may be a disaster but I'd like to enter anyway.

Welcome. I'll have to give you a dummy rating of zero at this point, which I suspect may be a bit low.Clive Brooker wrote:I knew something would make me join Apterous eventually.

Re: apterous tournament - Numbers Attack
A question mark should be put by my name, as my participation may well be dependent on me bypassing the college proxy somehow. Bypassing could be the wrong word, but basically it won't let me get on apterous.

Let me know for definite by the deadline or I'll assume you're not playing.

Re: apterous tournament - Numbers Attack
Although I'm away from Monday to Friday of next week, if my opponent can't do the weekend, I might still be able to find time to get on the internet during the week, so don't count my post as maybe not playing.

I should be able to get playing at weekends, or jump on some rather slow and annoying internet in a worst case scenario.

Re: apterous tournament - Numbers Attack
So entry closes at 11pm Sunday, or when we get to 64 entrants.
To confirm, there will be two divisions, based on ratings, and each player will play 5 games. I'll play iff we have an odd number of entrants. Oh and it'll be fun.
