round one - results

^ sorry ::), i’m really bored at work right now

no whammy, no whammy, no whammy…STOP!

good luck in the draw everyone.

man, i would have won in group 2.

it’s ok though because our group was teh (traditional) AFC East of this tourney. and i came in thrid.

GO DOLPHINS!

I have a feeling I’m not getting much further. Oh Well.

Thanks Zoot, you are what is making this whole thing work.

Congrats to all the winners. If I had more time in my day, I would be participating…but alas, my time is quite limited.

GO TEAM OKEEPA!!!

I’m in the same boat as Vern, except you can substitute “even the most minimal skill at chess” for “more time in my day”

:slight_smile:

Oh, and excellent work, Zoot!

thanks fellas… glad to hear that everyone enjoyed the competition. everything seemed to go pretty smoothly - i didn’t even have to get out my ruler. just watch yourself in round two cause i wont hesitate to call in sister maria.

i’ll see if i can figure out the round two breakdown tonight… again it will all be done by random drawing so if you get stuck with the bigdude in your group you’ll have to blame lady luck.

as for the consolation drawing… i’m going to pm the winner to comfirm that they want to continue before i post the result.

[color=blue]btw, if you have any qualms about the tournament rules air your grievances now… if there is a particular rule that people overwhelmingly disagree with we can talk about making a change. just keep it cool my babies… cool.

(man that picture is kind of naughty)

that defenitly looks like its leading to pornography…hahaha :stuck_out_tongue:

Zoot Zoot!!

Great Job man, congrats to the winners. How many weeks has it been since Mike said 9 weeks? We are getting closer, and closer, and closer…

It has been just over 5 weeks.

9 weeks puts us at about march 28th… figuring that it will take about a week to get mike on the horn and up to date on logistics, i suspect the cactus challenge will start the first week of april.

i have posted the round two breakdown… as well as the wildcard pick. congradulations to willb! sorry to those folks who didn’t make it… remember though, we’re going to need you help in the strategy/move discussions. go team okp!

What do you call the prostitute>
Way To GO TEAM!!!

how did this game work? i played one game of chess and i won it against peyote. how did i not win the round? it also says i forefit the game, but in the middle of the game peyote forefitted.

^dude…what?

you were supposed to challenge myself and pdon (i don’t know if he’s ther same person as peyote…).

i even challenged you AND emailed you to try and sort it all out but you dropped the ball buddy ::slight_smile:

classic.

Someone’s been hitting a little too much D…

^Will, god damn!

here’s to a 66-move round 2! and a 50 something move round one!

…round 3’s on me!

what? i never recieved these emails. god damn. who did i play? or did i just eat peyote and play the rest of the bag in a game of chess.

speaking of which! the other day my friend ate some shrooms and thought it would be a good idea to video tape him self playing chess with “bill.” he was talking to the empty bag that previously contained shrooms and “playing chess” against it. He thought it was a guy named bill.
