Wow!  I was a dunce last week when I said teyakis is unbeatable!     I didn't realize we had 5 Saturdays in May, so the field has changed.     We now have 4 potential players to vie for champ in May. 

Special thanks to adrian for hosting and to spielberg for co-hosting this week!   

Hope to see all of you there next Saturday for the results!

[don]

It is worth noting that donzaemon has now disrupted mini's twice.  Although I doubt it, it's possible that his use of Java FIBS made him unaware that I requested he conform to socksey's tourney rules.  Instead, he's used his disruption as a source for his flames on FIBS.

Many thanks to socksey for running a good tourney.
