Games coming out on Thursday....just found out there were SOME PEOPLE who didn't join Round 3's games...so I'm going to wait until a couple more finish. Can't update round 3's letters yet...though...and I'm too lazy to update 2's because I'm in a rush at the moment... :oops:

Anyway...2 players are dropping out from the tournament...wahid and LSU Tiger Josh...so that means we don't need reserves :) [saves some trouble for me]

Another A and another E please.

A - 3630179
E - 3630189

By my count, then, I have 2 sets of A's, 2 sets of E's and a set of S's.

Thanks.

LOL, I just started studying this seriously for the first time and realized how long this tournament is going to last. Unless I miscounted, there are 144 letters needed to complete the puzzle, which is at least 29 wins. That will take at least 15 rounds, assuming that someone wins every game and uses the letters in the most efficient way possible. It's taken us 1.5 months to do the first 3 rounds (and I guess they aren't completely over yet), so we're looking at a 7.5 month endevour as a sort of minimum.

Wow!

I'm in it for the long haul regardless, but I wonder if you've considered modifying things, for instance saying that each win earns you two sets of letters (which would require some retroactively awarded letters). Or perhaps two sets of 4 since that would go into 144 evenly.

Anyway, just a thought. No pressure, I'm fine with a really freaking long tournament if you are. :D

Thanks for calculating it...though I'm guessing that it will take more than 15 rounds, and hopefully...hopefully that rounds will go faster...winter break especially, that might give us 2 rounds during that season...

Anyway...I'm updating it right now and am in the middle of Round 2 letter-sorting. I've sent out Round 4 games.

And I thought I wrote this down :? but apparently I didn't.

LSU Tiger Josh and wahid have dropped out. Since there is still an even number of players, I will not call in a reserve.

And I *might* do modifications *if* this goes longer than a year...defiantly wasn't planning for any longer than a year...but then again, I plan badly #-o.

Yes you do...don't you remember asking for them?
