Okay, we're still waiting for Cool Hand Luke, Bibliophile and Whitey to confirm. If they don't for some reason, the five alternates (including Cthulhucoffeecup and Dirigible) will slide upwards.
Arwink, Maldur and I are all confirmed as judges. Rah rah rah! As Wandering Monster said, this is a great mix of old and new entrants; it ought to be fun.
Being nothing if not efficient, I have determined the pairings by expediently splitting the list in half. It will look like this:
Alsih2o vs Cool Hand Luke: posted 4/6 afternoon
Macbeth vs Thullgrim: to be posted 4/6 night
Mythago vs Orchid Blossom
RangerWickett vs Speaker
Wandering Monster vs Bibliophile (from other thread - subject to their confirmation)
Tzor vs Zhaneel
NiTessine vs Whitey (from other thread - subject to their confirmation)
Berandor vs Drose25
For those of you with a checked-in partner, who wants to go first? We can start as early as tonight.
