No, for some reason I am not recalling him. I may have been away. Was he really good? Looking at his stats, it appears that he was. Whatever happens, this should be one of the better tournaments.MarkBarrett wrote:That's five names without mentioning Andrew Moore.

Re: 2013-14 Tournament of Champions Standings
If my theory is correct the field became locked when Julia Collins lost and ended her run, and any 5+ timers between then and the Fall 2014 ToC would play in the following one (in Season 32).Bamaman wrote:Just because they said it will tape on September 29 doesn't mean the current field is locked.

Hooray, Sarah and Rebecca! Wishing you best of luck (almost wrote retroactive luck, but I'll save that for when it airs).

Re: 2013-14 Tournament of Champions Standings
Yes, and good luck to all the other boardies as well. Thank you for your insight, participation and contributions to daily game threads, polls and extra games. Out of 15 in the field have we had an appearance from:periwinkle wrote:Hooray, Sarah and Rebecca! Wishing you best of luck (almost wrote retroactive luck, but I'll save that for when it airs).

Rani Peffer
John Pearson
Sandie Baker

I feel like the other 10 have shown up here in one way or another. It's 11/16 counting Mark Japinga.

Re: 2013-14 Tournament of Champions Standings
Would you care to read my post again, please? Of course I know that Sarah, Rebecca and Arthur are regulars here. It was the five I cannot peg for appearing on the board I wondered about in my post. I know about the 11 counting the alternate who have made themselves known.OrangeSAM wrote:Well, two were referenced in the post you quoted.MarkBarrett wrote:Yes, and good luck to all the other boardies as well.

Re: 2013-14 Tournament of Champions Standings
Mark's asking if those 5 listed have posted on the board, in addition to the other 10. It seemed to me like I had a recollection of Rani posting, under a name like ranipeffer or rpeffer, but searching the boards's members list doesn't seem to provide any evidence. I must have imagined it.OrangeSAM wrote:Well, two were referenced in the post you quoted.MarkBarrett wrote:Yes, and good luck to all the other boardies as well.

Oops, Mark beat me to the clarification. Your post was missing a question mark, Mark, so I could see how someone might misread it.

Re: 2013-14 Tournament of Champions Standings
Apologies for the bump, but there now seems to be official confirmation that Jerry Slowik will not be competing in the TOC for reasons mentioned in another thread. What it means for now is that Mark Japinga is still alive for a spot (and may already have it, in fact).

Assuming the TofC is airing in November sweeps and the season starts 9/15, there's about seven or eight weeks of regular games before the TofC(assuming no other special programming before then).UniquePerspective wrote:Apologies for the bump, but there now seems to be official confirmation that Jerry Slowik will not be competing in the TOC for reasons mentioned in another thread.

Correct, I just thought there was prior implication that the field was locked from other people.

Re: 2013-14 Tournament of Champions Standings
I think what they meant was that originally since the field was already full of 5+ and tournament winners then any more 5+ winners would be bumped to the next ToC. Since Jerry isn't participating now the next spot will go to the next qualifier if there's one - only if we do not have another 5+ winner before the ToC taping will Mark Japinga be in the running.UniquePerspective wrote:Correct, I just thought there was prior implication that the field was locked from other people.

This might explain why I *still* haven't received flight information. I'm starting to get irked.

Re: 2013-14 Tournament of Champions Standings
The BOTD contestants did not have things taken care of in a timely manner either. Monday was a holiday and some people like to shoot the week. I'm sure you will get everything handled soon.NYCScribbler wrote:This might explain why I *still* haven't received flight information. I'm starting to get irked.
