2012 SHC TOC -- Day 1
First, a couple of thank you's:
Thank you to bpmod for getting things back up and running yesterday.
Thank you to rjaguar3 for building and maintaining the scoreboard site this year.
Now a procedural announcement:
The SHC TOC invitation thread shows the official field for this year's finale. Some of the invitees have not yet posted their intent to play, so there is a waiting list. Players on the waiting list are invited to post "provisional" entries. In the event that a member of the official field chooses not to participate, waiting list players will be listed in the official field in descending order of regular season scores.
There will also be a "peanut gallery" thread for those who might like to play along. Enjoy.
On we go.

Re: 2012 SHC TOC -- Day 1
THE MODERN PENTATHLON, SORT OF
2: He won the 1972 Olympic 200-meter freestyle in a then-world-record time of 1:52.78.
4: In one event of the modern pentathlon, athletes are randomly assigned one of these partners twenty minutes before the competition starts.
6: In 1959, Gordon Gould coined this acronym for a form of radiation that replaced air cartridges in modern pentathlon pistols in 2011.
8: An epee has this type of V-shaped beveled groove on the flat side of the blade.
10: A modern pentathlon cross-country race could be run between the Don and Dee Rivers, near this third-most-populous Scottish city.
REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS
3: The slogan of this now-second-largest political party in Northern Ireland is “Building an Ireland of Equals.”
6: In 1860, he led the Expedition of the Thousand to take the Kingdom of the Two Sicilys from the Bourbons.
9: Ieng Sary, former deputy leader of this Southeast Asian revolutionary group, later created the Democratic National Union Movement political party in Cambodia.
12: This movement took its name from the date of a failed 1953 attack in Cuba.
15: This group of nineteenth century Russian revolutionaries who protested Nicholas I's ascension share their name with Colin Meloy's indie-rock band.

i guess i should do this here, even though it would take 5 no-shows from among the 8 people ahead of me (4 invitees, 4 higher WCs) for it to matter.
