No need to change the flag today then......MaggieG you are a real tiger...Top Class Player!

So how did the rest of the Gladiators measure up yesterday.....remember the The Day of Reckoning looms closer and draws nigh!

1. MaggieG UK

2. magijoh1 UK

3. TAKROM USA

4. mhallesy UK

5. figaro 34 UK

well....it seems to help if your name begins with an M.

Congratulations are due to both TAKROM and figaro 34 for battling their way up into the top five so soon. After been swamped with new USA players a few days ago the stiff British upper lip has prevailed! 4 out of 5....is pretty conclusive in my book.

But....let's not forget hovenaut has ruled the overall score for a heck of a while...was toppled by Marsalinator...then yesterday came back to try and reserve that gold medal up for grabs at months end. We have a tie at the top folks between two Americans. Ah....don't anyone contact Marsalinator while he's away...don't spoil his holiday.

And a pat on the back for mhallesy....now only 4 niggardly points behind poolosopher. Watch out pool...you're going to be rugby tackled and demoted a place if you're not careful.

No new players for either side yesterday....Shame.

Oh...and now I've outlined how the team championship is going to work everyone fight to hang onto your own placings.....tooth and nail to the bitter end.....off the top of my head after having a quick mathematical interlude I reckon the British Team is leading and unless some significant shocks happen in the standings.....well....which team gets First Blood is virtually decided!

Enough woffling....(yes, that stupid word again) ....I'm off to watch the fun

And everyone....thanks for joining in and making this tournament such a success!

I might run it but it's the players who make the event!

And with such stiff competition as there is here anyone prepared to jump boldly into the fray has a true competitive spirit.

Thanks to all of you.
