Interesting! Double round robin would be fun in a six player group, alas its only a single round. Any starters?

Not yet: The advertising has only been out for a few hours! I suspect that the usual Monday night crowd will play though (Kovacevic, Lycett, the McCart brothers, Kaplan, Papadinis etc).

A double round robin would be nice but we only have 5 weeks available - and even that had to be squeezed in tightly!

Its the same format as last year though...

With Mike Guns on that list I am sure Greg "The Cat" Gatto will play, after all who would win a match between these two? Everyone at MCC wants to know!

**Pablito15** · 11-04-2011, 08:42 AM

If the cat survived the opening he would triumph- my tip. Sorry Mike!

Would it be possible for the rounds to start at 7:15 or 7:30? 7:00 is a little early...

I wouldve thought so. Being a round robin, there will be a lot more flexibility for players to organise with their opponents to start games earlier or later. I see no issue with a flexible starting time.

**UrBANE** · 11-10-2011, 09:14 AM

In that case, count me in! I must defend my title

But Paul, what about the Capybara????? Get his photo up here too!

**Pablito15** · 11-15-2011, 02:07 AM

There you go. So the capy bara must for some reason be domagoj?
