"Models are like baseball players. We make a lot of money quickly, but all of a sudden we're 30 years old, we don't have a college education, we're qualified for nothing, and we're used to a very nice lifestyle. The best thing is to marry a movie star." - Cindy Crawford, Supermodel

November will see some changes in time...........daylight savings kicks in so our new UTC tourney time will be 1600 next Saturday..........and..........we will add 1 point for participation like Fri3 is doing in hopes of preventing so many playoffs, however, October playoff would have been the same if we had exercised this practice for October.

Many thanks to adrian for hosting today!   

Hope to see you all on Fibs next Saturday at 1600 UTC for registration and 1620 UTC for play to begin!

Congrats for the November title, sunray!  I think you may have the record for being out in the first round more than any Mini-Matches player, so I am sure this is a sweet win for you!     Rossa almost had the title   by default since I wasn't quick enough to forfeit stog, who made it back from a crash in time to play, but very nice 2nd place title for you, Rossa, anyway!  

Hope you all are here next week when the new month starts.
