Czuch Chuckers: I'll try to explain. This is hard for me.
cariad created the tournament because she was overjoyed at her father's return from hospital. bumble joined the tournament in good faith. He was happy to be able to use the computer again and see his friends on brainking again. Look at his final posts. They're all happy. He loved brainking.
But his illness took a sudden turn for the worse and he died on February 14th in his sleep.
The tournament had another title but when her father died cariad asked Fencer to change it.

If bumble had won the tournament he would have given his prize to the runner-up.

cariad attended her father's funeral today. If she'd been here and seen this board she would have removed his name.

Arpa is Italian. Does he speak English?

I've played arpa many times and this is totally out of character for him.

Hrgls, the captain picks the team he/she wants. They could be the best accordinging to bkr or they could be unrated. The system doesn't automatically pick the 'best' players. It's the captain's choice.
Then the system sorts those team players according to bkr so the best from one team will play the best from the other teams... and so on down through the players.

antidisestablishmentarianism? Perhaps not.

I agree BBW, the post is everywhere even in places like 'Birthdays' and 'Prayers' where there is nothing but good wishes.

Unfortunately bumble cannot delete as he is at the Olympics (watching not competing!) for a couple of days so it's up to MM to delete if he so wishes from here.
Maybe it would save a lot of trouble if musiclover deletes the post from inappropriate boards herself.

IMupChucKing, Stinger has just returned from a vacation.
He is probably catching up with his games now and I presume your game with him is way down on his game sheet due to the length of time per move.
I have played him many times and he is a fast player.

Do you know that statement about Derek to be true?
If not, I think you should remove your post.
Give Derek a chance at least, or are you going to frighten off every pawn that dares post?

I'm sure all you had to do was ask Fencer to start the next round, which no doubt he now will. Obviously it was an oversight by the creator of the tournament.
