Rob,

I remember "Nordique" Kevin mentioned he was having computer trouble when I bumped into him on the bus awhile back, so I'm not sure if he'll see this. Just a heads up for his situation.

SeekTheGrail

Rats. The work Christmas party is the same day the 16th and I have to be buffed and polished and ready for 6:30 PM. I will have to pass on the 2006 Championship.

Well there is always 2007!

stpboy

My work Christmas party is also that night, can we start earlier?

This event is our Invitation only finals for 2006. You have two more opportinities to get an invite.

The final Bristol Street Classic of the year will likely be on Dec 6th, and a wildcard tournament will be played on Dec 13th to fill the final spot.

I'm on a fence on this one. I pushed back to noon to accomidate Shannon's work party in the evening, but I don't think it'll make that big of a difference as I'm guessing the tournament could run 9 hours.

Shannon.. would pushing back to noon actually allow you to participate? I'll make a final decision on this on Monday once I hear from Mr. Stp.

To everyone else, I'll have the final updated points counts this evening and start taking confirmation from people who are earning entry into the finals based on points.

stpboy

My work party starts at 6pm so a noon start won't do much for me to be honest. I really wish this could be another day (the day before perhaps) because I would hate to not be involved.

stp

Metro

Confirmed.

Metro

can anyone play in the wildcard?

You want two seats metro?

Zithal

I'll update the other threads with the official points counts tomorrow morning, but I've done the prelim work and have posted the names of the people that have earned their way in via Player of the Year points. Please confirm as soon as possible and I'll start contacting people tomorrow.

The wild card tournament, (will be announced tomorrow) is only for people that don't make it into the finals. If you're close to making it, please feel free to sign up and we'll adjust accordingly.

haddon

Rob, (EDIT: please) sign me up for this Wildcard tourny whenever it is.
I am sooo there.

SirWatts

I'm in.

Mike

Flint Bones

Woo Hoo!!!!!

I am in!

Not two seats - just the prize money.

Zithal

Since pushing back to noon won't help Shannon, I'm going to leave it at 2pm, because that works out much better.

I'd also hate to see you in and forced to play recklessly just before you had to leave. It's not fair to you, or to someone else who could play that day.

I'm going to leave your name on the list until I hear positive confirmation that you can't make it.

Unforunately, I can't change the date at this point.

That makes me sad. If I wasn't going with my new girl I'd so be there. Don't take me off the list just yet though, I may blind myself out for the dinner portion/break part of the tournament.

I love the cap at 2,000-4,000 (500), Rob!

Shannon, I hope your plans work out, bro. It won't be the same without you.

It's back to 2pm, Kevin.

Glad to see your internet is up and running again.

Hey Rob,

In the event that two people ahead of me can't make it then I would like to play. I have an exam until 3, but can be there shortly after that.
