Hello everyone.

Tonc 1 is just about over. I gave the 2 games which still have to be played another week, since these holliday-periods are sometimes difficult to get things sceduled.

I suggest we take two weeks off now, to allow people to get back from their vacations and get signed up.
That would mean that I could post first round matches 20/8. If anyone has objections, please post them.

I guess there has been more or less a consensus for Tonc #2 to be 9 rounds with 2 weeks per round, 30/0
and LeTonc #1 to be 6 rounds with 3 weeks per round, 60/0.

I will make an overview of those who have already signed up, and will post it here in one or two days.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Thanks for all the work Obi1.

That's it! Now you got me riled up. I was going to go easy on you in these two tournaments so that you can have a shot at winning them both. But you can forget it now buster. :p

Seriously, I resemble your remark. laugh

Also notice the coincidence that the two clowns are also tied for last (I think).

Too much clowning around??? Perhaps. Then again, Dart has this really neat ball trick...

Hey, Dart, what do you think of being COTONC?

(Clown of TONC) wink

If you concatenate our titles of LOTONC (Loser of TONC) and COTONC you get LOCOTONC!!

Let see... loco means crazy in Spanish. Clowns are often crazy. So without too much imagination, Dart and I are simply the losing clowns of TONC. laugh

LOCOTONC. LOCOTONC. LOCOTONC. wink

Aren't acronyms fun?

Nice one. And do you know what the motto of LOCOTONC is.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. (you see jsweet I can come up with some bad jokes too)

Not only do I have a nice ball trick I can make myself invisible (which was captured on film by Mig).

I am also partial to...

"Just how many Queens do you need!?"

"Where the heck did all those pawns come from!?"

"Oh, that is what the outside fork is for??" :p
