[anthroguy]

Congratulations flexmaster on very well organized, creative, and stylish tournament! It sounds like we're all having fun.

[flexmaster33]

Yes, I hope so...we should be able to post the scoreboard soon...400-meter relay and 100 finals are close to the awards' stand.

I've got a couple new ideas to add to this and hopefully tweak some little things to make it better for another run next spring/summer.

dcc1220 makes first attempt at 15'6" in the pole vault.

dcc1220 makes first attempt at 15'6" in the pole vault.

In related news, it looks like Plash.Ricrem may have fractured his ankle in his first 15'6 attempt failing to clear the bar for the first time. Unfortunately, his ankle has made him unable to get the nessecary plant on his take off (absolute nightmare drop in 2nd 15'6 game) leading one expert to wonder if he will even clear 15'6 or be forced to retire.

Amazingly however, it does seem that his ankle has had little ill effect on his effort in the 400m, where it appears he'll hobble his way to 2 wins and 2 overtime losses in his first 4 battles.

[flexmaster33]

Hey plash...as a teammate I must say let's get you over to the team trainer to have that looked at...we can't afford to lose precious points in the vault.

Perhaps she can fit you with a special metallic grey Nike crutch that will help you down the runway...and since it's Nike you'll be running faster with the crutch than you would normally without

[Andir]

Somehow he managed to transfer his ankle injury to me during the 400... I was hit by a staggering pain on the 3rd corner and had a series of tremendously detrimental rolls. My knee is a little skinned, but I think I'll recover nicely.

[flexmaster33]

Harvmax takes over for megadeth on Florida State's roster...he was our final reserve, so captains will have to replace any future deadbeats or risk forfeits for those events.

I'll repost and try to refresh reserves again.

[Andir]

Whoever was supposed to race me hasn't shown up:

1,500 prelims Pool B Heat 6

me vs. Frito Bandito

[flexmaster33]

It appears that vacations are slowing play in a couple events...I sent out reminders to players with open games, but if those aren't joined by the end of the weekend those open games will be turned into forfeits.

Game 5408364

win for Drew483

Virginia Tech wins the 400 Relay.

[flexmaster33]

Sounds good...excited to start posting some points on the scoreboard

400 relay 5th-place match — 2nd leg
Game # 5401479

It's been a week and my opponent hasn't joined....Forfeit?

[flexmaster33]

Tonight or early Monday morning forfeits will go through...

[Woodruff]

Tonight or early Monday morning forfeits will go through...

If someone forfeits, please send a PM to the team captain...that way, if I miss the fact that one of my runners missed an event, I'll know I need to find a replacement for the events that runner may have left (not counting the one they forfeited out of). Thanks.

[flexmaster33]

We should be getting the Scoreboard fired up Monday sometime once players return or forfeits are issued.

Also, the javelin and the 5,000-meter race have started...that leaves the High jump and 1,600 relay as the last two events to go off...they should start mid-week sometime.

[MegasWoman]

i won all 3 of of the 100 meter dash games vs poptart

[dcc1220]

dcc1220 makes 2nd attempt at 16'

[flexmaster33]

The awards have been handed out in the 400-meter relay and only one race is left in the 100-meter finals...the first phase of the Scoreboard is now up.

Good luck everyone as scores start to roll in.

[flexmaster33]

the 100-dash is in now, too and the scoreboard has been updated...thanks for the quick play shoop and megaswoman
