    Fraenkel and I finished our Match

     

    WOW what a game ... 

    I got 2 up early and then timed out a couple of times  thinking to me self, "self, focus, wtf, Hurry up!"

    THEN i realised we were on a 60sec timer :)

    Poor Fraenkel - shift worker - was up early to play me at 9:30 am his time.
    He went right back to bed after.

    After a couple of time out penalties, some Fraenkel brilliance we danced for a while, I was lucky to hold onto the lead up to the last.

    Fraenkel is a very nice guy, I have Italian friends in Oz, and we were able to share some Italian frivolity while we played (naughty words & food).

    Happy to play Fraenkel again any time he invites me!

    Great game indeed my mate.

    No metter for which was the time. That's a pair for played that on 60seconds. I'm not for that type of "waiting" but who cares, join myself expecially when we both talk dirt like two britain lords, epic.

    Happy to play in this contest to and we two nice dudes like Shrude and Paul. Shame on me for had not capitalize all the good chance had in the game, both games, but my walking park opponent got all the great cards to put their hands on the trophy.

    Cheers,
    Davide.

     

     

    P.S.: Still be in my position, we had to prepare another contest like this.
    P.P.S.: I will keep an eye, better both, on the thread for the final result.

    Great playing everyone!

     

    May I remind you that the last match of this round is due in 1 1/4 days?

    Reese, Lobsterboy, what's up?

    Is there any heads-up on a possible arrangement available, or a note concerning unforeseen problems?

    In the file, I added the tiers to all players/matches and this allows for an interesting view:

    Looking at the continents, we started with this field:

    America    3x TL
    Europe      1x TL, 4x L
    Australia    1x TL + 1x L

    The winners in matches (mostly) separated by tiers were

    America    2x TL
    Europe      2x L

    The second round saw this field, completed by the runner-ups:

    America    3x TL
    Europe      4x L
    Australia    1x L

    Winners and participants of the semifinals are

    3x TL   America
    1x L     Australia

    I turned the sequence because I think that this shows the relevance: TLs are supposedly better (in general) than Legends.

    In the light of this, please allow me to add a special good luck wish to my dear fellow Legend SHRUDE: Let our banner fly high!
