The Dustbin

[stockwellpete]

Q: What's the proper (in DL at least) way of reporting results, when it comes to inflicted or suffered casualties? (Example: X has routed Y, inflicting 42% in routs and suffering 15%.)

X defeats Y 42-15%

or

X defeats Y 15-42%

Not that it makes much difference in practice, but I've seen both styles.

42-15.

The Themed Event is now full. We will be running two pools of twelve. Reserve places only.

[stockwellpete]

We are now up to ninety-one players, just one below the record set last season . . .

Previous seasons players entered
Season 8 - 92
Season 7 - 67
Season 6 - 65
Season 5 - 60
Season 4 - 69
Season 3 - 57
Season 2 - 69
Season 1 - 82

The Themed Event is now full and we will be running two pools for the first time since Season 1. Late Antiquity has one place remaining which will be snapped up today, I'm sure. With Early Middle Ages, we definitely have enough for five divisions already. I really would like to get a sixth division again, but recruitment is currently provisional until we reach fifty-six players. Once we get to fifty-six then I will definitely open up the sixth division. I am fairly confident we will be able to do that as I have not even had to send out the reminder invitation PM yet and we are already nearly full! Plus we always get a group of players showing interest just as the tournament gets underway. So it is definitely worth putting your name down if you are interested in Early Middle Ages.

[stockwellpete]

This is the priority now. We have fifty-two players signed up at the moment. The first fifty have definitely got their places and the most recent two are currently provisional. If we can get up to fifty-six players then I will open a sixth division, so please do put your name down if you want to play in Early Middle Ages. The closer we get to the fifty-six figure the more likely other players will put their names down. Thanks.

We have just have vacancies left in Early Middle Ages now. We are up to 53 players and once we get to 56 I will open up a sixth division. I have sent out a reminder invitation today to about 20 players who played last time, or who have expressed interest in joining, so I hope we can get a few of them to sign up. I will also put out an invitation on the general forum tomorrow.
