[18.10.04] Round 3 games are up! Deadline is Feb. 1, 2005.
[06.10.04] Two games are still in progress, both in Turn 4. Round 3 games will start as soon as both are done but no later than October 21.
[01.10.04] Round 2 extended to October 19, 2004. The hurricanes in the southern US have made it a bit difficult for some folks to play a game... So I've extended the deadline across the board.
[16.06.04] Round 2 games are up. Deadline for completion is October 5, 2004.
[14.06.04] Round 1 is now complete. A summary of results is here.
[25.05.04] Due to ACTS downtime the deadline for the first round has been extended to June 14, 2004. 11 of 21 games are now complete with ~3 weeks left.
[22.04.04] We are over halfway thru the first round. Seven games are already complete and only one game is still in the first turn.
[04.03.04] We've had three late entries and now have 21 games and 63 participants. The tourney is now closed.
[01.03.04] We are now officially on! Please note that I have no intention of monitoring the games per se (apart for completion) but will watch the ACTS Journals this first week or so to make sure everyone is on board and that there are no problems. Happy gaming!
[26.02.04] We have 60 participants! I have created the games on ACTS, numbered BPA01 to BPA20. Please note the 100 day countdown does not start until Monday.
[25.02.04] Many folks have signed up in the last week. Right now the first round will consist of about 20 games. If you still want to be a part of the tourney please make sure you are a BPA member before joining the tourney. I have sent out at least 2 reminders to those would-be participants that are not 2004 members. People who have not replied to myself or Don Greenwood have been dropped from the tourney at this time. I will create the games this Friday as I have to move over the weekend and want the games ready for the tourney start on Monday. Any last minute games that need to be created, e.g., due to more participants, will be created on that Monday then.
[05.02.04] There are still ~10 participants who are not (yet) BPA members. Please join within the next week or so.
[03.02.04] Don Greenwood has posted the updated card FAQ (go here). The FAQ was revised in conjunction with the latest Living Rules and will be used in the tourney.
[02.02.04] Don Greenwood is verifying BPA membership for all listed participants. If you are not yet a BPA Member please purchase an Associate level (or higher) membership soon.
[29.01.04] The Living Rules v1.2 are now available directly from GMT's webiste (go here).
[26.01.04] The new Living Rules v1.2 are out and can be downloaded here.
[13.01.04] Almost 50 participants have signed up! Start date is now March 1, 2004 and is firm. Why the delay? We hope to reach at least 64 players (on par with recent PBEM events for WW and POG) before start. Also, the new and final Living Rules will be released within the next 7 days and some time for these to sink in before the tourney starts seems like a good idea...
[01.12.03] 30 Participants have signed up. Expected start date is Feb. 1, 2004.
[01.11.03] Website is now up!
