Sorry I have been MIA....on vacation for the Memorial Day weekend. I found a web connection so I figured I'd check in and see how badly I was behind. I'll start-up again on Mon/Tues....depending on net access. Worst case I'll be back Wednesday.

I am going to hold off of the plays for a while since I have passed the 50 game mark. I will see how close you are getting before I start making more plays.

[Dexter]

Guys - I think the tournament is moving very well as it seems everyone is following the proper rules etc. Im not monitoring each thread, so keep me informed if your opponent is mia, screwing up lines etc etc. suicide kings and i did discuss via pm that we would not carry over unit balances each round. instead we will start over at 60. i apologize, but it doesnt appear that we ever communicated that to everyone. what we will do to reward people with higher unit amounts is seed them vs the lower unit amounts (rather then follow the random draw i first posted)....so ie,

brandon laz has the most units at 85

peterpan has the least units (but won his match) at 40

that would be the 1 vs 8 seed for round 2.

hope your all cool with that structure.

-dexter

[Dexter]

**We had a member protest the added seeding rule, thus will go back to the original plan**

[Dexter]

*Reminder*

So based on 30 days per round, plus one tiebreak day, the start/end dates for the rounds are:

May 11 - June 9, June 10 tiebreaker
June 11 - July 10, July 11 tiebreaker
July 12 - August 10, August 11 tiebreaker
August 12 - September 10, September 11 tiebreaker

Contest Update: June 6th

So, I've sifted through the threads and pulled each bettor's updated bankroll through June 6. If there's any errors in here, please let me know. Not everyone has updated their totals regularly.

Today's Action: 39.01u
Peter Pan: 15.07u

Amblai01: 46.99u
BbyHill: 70.6u

SoonerGreg: 56.25u
TheLemonDropKid: 36.38u

Gyftosgreek: 39.55u
Jellobiafra: 34.0u

BrandonLaz: 84.7u
Laxdjock: 54.1u

TheBerber2: 54.95u
Shoebox: 47.56u

ChiArchie: 39.865u
SuicideKings: 45.78u

Wangichu: 54.57u
Dexter: 52.85u

There's only 3 days left in round 1 (June 7 - June 9). Looks like some of the matchups will come down to the wire. One number I didn't check though, because it was too time-consuming, was the number of plays each bettor has made. Each player must have made 50 wagers by the end of the day on June 9th to qualify to advance into round 2. It is your responsibility to confirm that your opponent has made the minimum number of plays required to advance.

Good luck on the last 3 days guys. Make them count.
