ok, **Scotti** , you get **dobbinaire** next. And, with that, we wish a fond farewell (only tournamentwise, of course) to **Zoggie** ---

Sorry I was away from the boards/scrabble this weekend Dyno. My uncle died yesterday and I may not have the time for a few daysā€¦I will try to get online though as I could use the distraction. ---

In a cage match- **blanx** 261 **dpr** 260 One heck of a game, although I think **dpr** was handcuffed by the time difference! ---

Donā€™t listen to Blanx - he beat me fair and square. I had a 40 point lead at one stage and he pulled some simply amazing moves. Heā€™s a very deserving winner and whoever gets him next round should be wary. Thanks again for a great game mate. ---

Can anyone play between 8 am - 5 pm EST? I never have time in the evenings/weekends but I LOVE to play. I can play at either [games.com](http://games.com) or yahoo. ---

I still havenā€™t heard from Dr\_Paprika by either email or here. Is there a time limit on getting the round in? ---

**Scotticher** 322 **dobbinair** 253 Hey, that was tons of fun! **dobbinair** really uses the board, and did lots of tricky combination words. I just got better letters than she did. I hope to have a chance to play with her again. Now the problem is, unless I can get my next match in really soon, I am leaving Friday AM (5:50AM! GULP) for LA and will basically be unavailable until a week from Thursday. Except for a short time on Wednesday during the day, before I leave for a Marinerā€™s game in Seattle. šŸ™‚ What do you want to do about that, **Dyno?** Should I take a ā€œbyeā€ or something?

**Scotticher** beat me but good! Great game, **Scotti**. šŸ™‚ **Scotticher 322 dob 253** p.s. I tried to reach you **Scotticher**. Let me know when you can play for fun. By double elimination, I am out. But I had fun, guys, and I am definitely in next tourney. [sub]Just hope I have better luck next time :)[/sub] ---

Well, **Mooney252** beat the ever-lovinā€™ tar outta meā€¦ **350** to **205**. Great game, even though I got mostly vowels. I was forced to make words like ā€˜oarā€™ and ā€˜weā€™. :sigh: šŸ™‚ Rose ---

OK, so, the current matches weā€™re waiting on: **obfusciatrist DrPaprika** - ob, dunno what to tell you. If he hasnā€™t contacted you by this weekend, Iā€™ll give you a bye or something. \*\*Mnementh Flymaster Enderw24 Mercutio\*\* Now, the next-round matches that can go on now (I hesitate to post these for fear that some people will get too far ahead, butā€¦) \*\*me Mooney252 Scotticher MikeG\*\* and, a fond farewell to **dobbinaire**. we hardly knew ye. **blanx** is awaiting the results of the **obfusciatrist / Drpaprika** matchup, and **dpr** is set to take on the winner of **Ender / Mercutio** ---

Still havenā€™t heard anything. Iā€™ll be gone all weekend. I guess my match with Dr. Paprika is a wash. ---

Sorry, I was on vacation after beating Ender in a close game. I got an e-mail from obfus but have heard no reply, so I guess Iā€™m out if Iā€™m out. Oh well. ---

Can we get an update on the tourney, please? Some of us on the sidelines are itching to get in on the next roundā€¦ Heck, a Scrabble tourney might even get my wife to start perusing the SDMB! (oooh, watch out, sheā€™s good, reeeaaalll good. Iā€™ve only beaten her once.)
