 | Zarte Siempre Is this in the evening or in the morning? |

 | Ben Wilson There have been 24 hour Scrabble tournaments in the past. Just a suggestion for Aptobash IV. :-) |
 | Phyl Styles did you mean to put kirk-off? |
| Charlie Reams Yep! |
| Phyl Styles thought perhaps you did |
| Charlie Reams http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1445&p=31163#p25603 It's a pun of some vintage. |
 | Jack Hurst Does anybody rememer Andrew Hulme's friends at s61 finals?
|
| Charlie Reams One constraint of an all-play-all tournament is we need an even number of people, so I'll accept further signups in pairs. Would anyone be nice enough to volunteer to be the spare (and therefore only play if someone else doesn't turn up)? |
 | Innis Carson I could do that, though if I'm not needed at the start I'll head out to do something else, so wouldn't be able to step in half-way or anything like that. |
| Charlie Reams That's fine, if people drop out halfway I'll 1) be sad 2) give byes for the remaining rounds. |

 | Callum Todd Terribly sorry but I'm going to have to pull out of this one as I can't be sure I'll be able to be online by 6.30. |
 | Mark James I have to pull out too so at least that leaves you with an even number. |
| Charlie Reams No problem. If anyone else needs to withdraw, sooner is better please. |
| Jack Hurst APTOOOOBAAAASSSSSHHH!! |
| Callum Todd I'm 3 minutes late :( is there space for me to join? |
Notes from the organizer: Aptobash was the tournament before there were tournaments: Aptobash I was in December 2008 and Aptobash II followed in February 2009. At the time there weren't any other tournaments so they were quite popular. Also the game broke if too many people played conundrums at once, so it was a rather tense affair on all fronts.
Anyway, that was then and this is now. Here we are with Aptobash III. It'll be a 10-round tournament and everyone plays in all 10 rounds. Swiss pairings or similar will be used to keep things interesting for everyone. And as it happens there is an item for the winner, which has been sitting around for quite some time: http://www.apterous.org/item.php?item=137
The schedule will be:
Official kirk-off: 6:30. Please be online to check in by this time.
Round 1: 6:40.
Round 2: 6:55.
Round 3: 7:10.
[Break]
Round 4: 7:35
Round 5: 7:50
Round 6: 8:05
[Break]
Round 7: 8:30
