I've added your name to the list; games will be allocated (and sent by PM) once enough competitors have been recruited ;-)

No worries - writing that post was enough to get added to the list ;-)
All you need to do now is wait for all the other spaces to fill up, and then join the games you are allocated.

And that brings the total number of competitors to 7 so far...

That's 10 participants so far... not long to go to the halfway mark; If we get at least 16 people then this will go ahead ;-)
