The normal vehicle in the past (when Cat & DW were main recruiting sources along with old Dip1600) was Sail Ho. Not as pretty a game but no-fooling, point-to-point play required. Only 16 folks needed as well which was always easy. People think South has an advantage but that very thought means game usually is played against S so diminishes what I think is a false idea. The place names alone throw some folks at first...

Congrats Steve!
 
I figured I was too little too late in the end but it is because TheWizardTim was masterful in his defense of Egypt. I honestly predicated everything on being able to capture Egypt both faster and completely and that didn't happen because he was a solid foe. Sorry to John that I had to stab for a few centers but I was hoping I could get some momentum late and overcome Steve. Didn't like doing it but the 08 deadline was a ticking clock in the back of my mind throughout and I didn't have any choice.
 
That said Steve getting to 15 was impressive. Good luck in Rd 2.
 
Thanks to Vegas for a nice diversion and an interesting tournament and format. I hope this becomes something annual at DC. I like the idea of a finite timeframe before determining a winner. Certainly makes you act more deliberately.
 
Best,
Garry

Adjustments:

Rets done. no need for builds. E stayed on board (Gary had a bit of tribute for him as part of his The hold he can just say nowWink )despite that 1 crazy turn which I literally had to ck multiple times that I was on right dpy file & right moves knowing Tim to be a solid player. C already looked good up north but that took off a lot of the pressure. Reasonably smooth game with my usual inability to decide whether a point needs making or even has validity about it for silliness. This is the 2nd game to finish so 2 are set for the full press final with 1 turn a wk & the rest.  Gary is a big-wig in DC so he
can see if I assign the right results titles. Survivor throws me here as I know it is also used when a solo occurs which is not the norm.
