Is anyone FB friends with Rani? What's on her page?

That's five names without mentioning Andrew Moore. Did you see his games?
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.
I'm done. Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

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).

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

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:

Joshua Brakhage
Rani Peffer
John Pearson
Sandie Baker
Julia Collins

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

Well, two were referenced in the post you quoted.

Also, there's A. Chu.

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.

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.

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

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).

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

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.

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

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.
