So everyone that hasn't done so, please vote and PM or email Doc with your registration info.

And as for you Europeons:

Seriously, what part of the prophecy did you guys just not get?

Thus spake the prophet Blake in 1792:

The morning comes, the night decays, the watchmen leave their stations;
The grave is burst, the spices shed, the linen wrapped up;
The bones of death, the cov'ring clay, the sinews shrunk & dry'd.
Reviving shake. inspiring move, breathing! awakening!
Spring like redeemed captives when their bonds & bars are burst;
Let the slave grinding at the mill, run out into the field;
Let him look up into the heavens & laugh in the bright air;
Let the inchained soul shut up in darkness and in sighing,
Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary years;
Rise and look out, his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open
And let his wife and children return from the opressors scourge;
They look behind at every step & believe it is a dream.
Singing. The Sun has left his blackness, & has found a fresher morning
And the fair Moon rejoices in the clear & cloudless night;
For Empire is no more, and now the Lion & Wolf shall cease.

It is apparent that the majority prefer a Saturday tournament for this event, but that we could draw reasonable participation for a future event on Sunday afternoon or early Friday evening. The time preference for the weekend is evenly split between 2PM and 4PM so we settled on 3PM EDT. A Friday or other weekday game might deserve a little more discussion as the EU contingent understandably prefers 4 to 6 PM while the NA folks pretty strongly prefer 8pm. Maybe we could negotiate for a future event on a Friday night.

After discussing this with the team captains and in part out of deference to Poker Stars who have kindly offered to support this event, therefore the feeling that we need maximum participation, the event will be Saturday afternoon as shown above.

Apologies to those who cannot play on this date, we will try to have a future event on a different day of the week to accommodate all who want to play.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to paricipate in the game at the 21st. I'm sure you North-Americans knew that, and this whole vote thing was another trick to increase your ridiculous chances for winning this tournament. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Anyway, I'll support Europe with all my heart, feeling completely sure of their ability to crush the poor, weak, unlucky, North-Americans.

GO EUROPE! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

That's because us Europeans have a life and better things to do a saturday evening than playing poker.

You should rebabtize the tourney "The US/US/US/US/US Challenge" You have enough players [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
