 | Christy Cooper I'm far from qualifying for this- but we're really calling over 40s 'seniors?' |
 | Fiona T Would you prefer 'old farts'? |
| Christy Cooper Lol I don't see 40 as old at all |
 | Tal Lessner I see it as old af, and unfortunately, will be on the wrong side of it in a few months |
 | Kieran O'Driscoll God be with the days when age forty seemed in the distant future and to be distinctly middle-aged. Now, at age 58, it seems distant in the other (wrong) direction, and also seems young. |
| Kieran O'Driscoll Everything is relative and perceptual! |
 | Mark Tournoff Just overtaken you Kieran, but it's okay 59 is the new 29! |

| Kieran O'Driscoll Mark, I agree - and wasn't it Christmas 2004 that you became the series champion? IN a nail-biting game against Paul Gallen which went down to a crucial conundrum, PARTRIDGE. |

 | Anthony Endsor Thanks for that MSR. I'm sure everyone will agree that makes us all feel much better :))) |
| Mark Tournoff Thanks Kieran - sorry, only just seen your comment. Yes, you are right about Christmas 2004. I was a sprightly 42 year old then! Positively a spring chicken! |
Tourney round: The Phil Collinge Memorial Tournament for Seniors 2022: Sign-up Page
Notes from the organizer: The Phil Collinge Memorial Tournament for Seniors (formerly The Apterous Seniors Championship) is open to all players aged 40 or above as of 31st December 2021, therefore this year we are welcoming those born in 1981.
Continuing as a a straight knock-out, all matches prior to the Quarter-Finals will be Best of 3. From the Quarter-Finals onwards, all matches will be best of 5.
As last year there will be just 4 seeds, all of whom will be treated equally. The first seed will be the defending Champion (Martyn Simpson), the other three will be those with the highest Pro-Rank on Monday 27th December 2021.
Two weeks will be allowed for each round (a few days extra for the first round). Sign-ups will only be open until the end of December so please don't get caught out.
As usual, players who are either unwilling or unable to confirm their identity and/or birthdate (if required) will not be accepted for this tournament. This caveat is included to protect the integrity of the competition and will not be (and has not been) required in most cases.
Entries will close on Friday 31st December 2021 with the draw taking place in aptochat soon after.
