@Martin @gamerman01 @Ragnell804 @VictoryFirst
Ragnell managed to get an email out to me asking if he could have photos of the board state sent to him. He would like to play but does not have conventional email access. He will not be available for an indeterminate amount of time but does not want to quit the tournament.
Oh, sure, that will work
you found a way to play, so game on!
Be still, my beating heart!
Now the OOB 2nd round is set, and, that’s right,
#1 - #4 all advance
#1 through #4 advance to round 2 of the balanced mod 4 championship playoff!
All 4 are huge names here in the long established league of A&A.org.
525 BM games experience collectively.
You read that right.
There’s never been a better time to watch 4 MASTERS play each other. This is one of the reasons we have long term rankings and 3 level playoffs in the league. To make these kinds of matchups, simultaneously, with a championship game to follow. There can only be one, for 2025
