I don't want go get anyone's hopes up (and at this point I'm not expecting it), but I just got off the phone with Lee. It's done running, just not in a presentable form. I was told that there would be something by Friday.

Well, you got our's up!

Is Friday over yet?
Are all our hopes dashed?

With hopes all dashed, perhaps we can hope it is in the Tournament newsletter? Crying or Very sad

Saturday Afternoon Email from Lee:

"I have to get this going first, then I'll bundle the regional
stuff for you while it's running... We only have about 12 more hours of
input to do, argh..."

Sunday Noon'ish Email from Lee:

"About 5 more hours of input to do first..."

This is why it didn't get done over last weekend...

Sorry... that's when I thought that the tourney would be input and
running on Saturday, but we didn't get hardly any input done last week,
and mail-in input takes longer than FTF input. And once it was finally
input, I had a dickens of a time getting tourney to run this time. I
didn't get it started the first time until about 4am last night, after
fighting with the warriors to make sure they were in the right
classes--this summer I was willing to believe I had just forgotten to
save the transfers, or done something else stupid, so this time I was
looking at every single warrior and reverifying their classes and they
still wanted to fight in the wrong class, and it took a lot of
pummelling to get it right--I was about ready to kill them all off and
send them to the dead tourney as punishment! ...[rest of story snipped]

All I have to do tomorrow (that I know of) is write a couple of checks
and get the spy report stuff to Judith, and I'll get that to you as top
priority.

So she put it off till Tuesday. Of course it didn't get done on Tuesday. I called Wednesday she put it off till Thursday, I called Thursday and she wasn't able to get it done, but the tourney had to be mailed so she told me to call back Saturday. I called back Saturday afternoon and she forgot to do it and said she would do it this weekend and here we are....rest assured I will NOT let it drop.

We were/are never concerned about YOU letting it drop.

I just hope with the tourney running late people didn't get screwed in the classes the warriors should've run in. Like my 2-30 FE guys in arena 18 running at 31 FE and screwing any chance at TVing or better, or guys like OAB who ran a rook in 18 fighting at 1 FE.

No, them having to run 18 and the Monday arenas late was one of the reasons why it wasn't done on Tuesday. Razz

I sure hope so. I was surprised 18 came on the same day as 60 which was a day or 2 early all this was getting me concerned, though I'm guessing neither of my 18 guys TV'd.

My rookie from 18 went 0-1 and ended up with 7 recognition points, so the tourney definitely ran before 18 did.

Is it too soon to ask?

Monday Email:

"No forgetting, just got stuck helping Morgan finish a 15-page paper
which was due today....

Working on getting it finished now."

And then I never heard back from her. Called a half dozen times yesterday and got the machine.
