Live Final Weekend

[Alex Holowczak]

Nothing wrong with short draws though, is there Richard?

Thanks for making our task of inputting the game easier.

Jonathan Rogers, also of this parish, had a short draw, but even his was longer than yours!

It's all about the team. Hopefully my suffering will not be in vain.

Fair enough. It's not as though you can be penalised. Instead of 1/2-1/2, it'd be 0-0, which wouldn't make any difference to the match score.

Penalising people for accepting un-prearranged draw offers, simply because they were made on move 2 would be a bit controversial! Might need to put something in the rules first

Well, there is that... Don't give the organisers ideas, or you'll be playing Sofia rules in 2010/11.

Hmmmmmmmmm , as Sambuca Sharks manager i am happy with these draws.

[Ben Purton]

Do we have draw odds here??

Don't think there's quite enough people on the arbiting team for that...

That is one for Dave, I have found rd9 and 10 but there are on a different server to the one being published at the moment

They've been e-mailed to Mark Crowther, so should be on TWIC soon, if that helps you personally. I think Dave might have e-mailed you with them anyway? Could be wrong.

1c has been done for Round 11 (Mark has it), 1d will be finished on Wednesday (no chance I can get it done tomorrow due to a coursework deadline/league match). Jack had just completed Division 2 up to the end of Round 10 when we left.

Should be OK now.

I remember posting them but I think got distracted onto another job before checking them.

Cool, it took four servers to bring you that one though

So it's a shame we cannot change the DGT software!

[Joey Stewart]

So were there any phone losses this weekend? I had a look through some of the games and noticed one which was a very short win in a totally level position.
