I know this game isn't from the tourney but I have a captive audience here so thought I would share. This is my all time favourite comeback, I even threw a double 6 to finish which I didn't need.

Any news about Tourney 4?????

1 week left! Remember the time limit for this Tourney is 8/18 (next Monday). From the poll, I can see the overwhelming consensus is to have a time limit of some sort, the question is how long? That will be the trick for future hosts to wrestle with as we go forward. Looks like we have less than 40 matches yet to finish. Please make sure today that all of your matches have been started.

Thanks to all who completed the poll, but we still have 7 people left that have not yet completed it and 2 people that only answered the first question, so please take a moment to make sure your voice is heard and complete the poll on the Kid's site.

As far as TC#4, anyone up for being the next host?

Doing great people! We went from 97 matches left to play on 8/8/13 to 21 matches left to play as of today, 8/15/13. I figured these last few ones would go quickly, as we got more and more comfortable with the cube. Nice job guys.

3.5 days (2 of them on the weekend) left to knock out those 22!

And stop being stubborn about the poll, I promise you it isn't painful and it will only take 3 minutes of your time. Obviously, some people aren't keeping up on the forums. Spread the word.

Who is ready to be the next dictator? I can't promise you that won't be painful, but I can tell you for me it was no sweat!

We got close, only 13 matches left to go, and that was in a 5 week time span, so we improved from TC#2 (in which the Round Robin is still going on). I think that is all we can ask, that each tournament is a little better than the last one, don't you think?

We have a total of 10 people right now that can finish up in the top 8 slots, of which I am a part (barely). Right now, I am in sole possession of the last slot, although 2 others have a chance to tie me. There is no way right now I am going to call this Round Robin over when we are only 13 matches away from completing every match and not having to eliminate anyone. That plus the fact that if I do call it now, some may wonder if I did it with ulterior motives in order to help myself make the final 8 which I would if we called it over tonight.

So here is what we are going to do. I looked at the poll and 65% of you said you wanted a tournament of 2 months or less, or to at least have 2/3rds of the matches completed. We are way past the 2/3rd mark, and Sept 2 gives us 8 weekends and 7 weeks of play. With only 13 matches left, that should give everyone plenty of time and leave no room for anyone to question my motives. On 9/2/13, however, we will eliminate the person with the most unfinished matches and continue on until all of the boxes on the scoreboard are full. I know 1 person is on vacation this week, which is the reason I am not making this a 1 week extension. I really don't think we will end up needing the full 2 weeks, but we shall see. Hopefully, the TC#2 bracket play will start during this time frame as well.

Cheers and remember to vote if you haven't already done so!

Don't worry Chwaq, someone will step forward to host TC4. I would do it but I don't want to monopolize the position. I think it would be better to spread the position around so more people understand what is involved, however, if no one steps forward I would be glad to do it again.
