Attached here is the schedule for EnglishTown (C10) in the 2008 season of the BSW City League.  Please do not post anything to this thread.  Another thread has been made for posting results.

Some instructions:

Before playing your games, you should activate /option result STL then the result will be reported automatically. After the games you should deactivate the option by typing the same.

The '/Peek' function may not be used by anyone

There will be a puppet, which automatically enters the room and confirms the saving of the result.
If the puppet does not enter the room or refuses to save the result, just post the result here, and we will take care of it.

To arrange appointments between the players there will be an e-mail-form which can be used to send emails to the opponents without knowing their address. You just need to know the opponent's nickname and then you can send an email through the form found on the homepage of the city-league.

The city league now uses the BSW forum: http://www.brettspielwelt.de/Forum/index.php/board,342.0.html

The rules for the city league can be found here and are in English:
http://stl.nevinchen.de/en/regeln.php

Also - on the left you will see a contact form.  This is the preferred method of contacting your opponent via e-mail as the league commissioner, the opposing team captain and me are automatically copied on the contact.  This will give us indication you made the effort you needed to in case your opponent is not cooperative and a claim has to be made.  Please be sure your e-mail address on your BSW profile is up to date as this is where the contact form will be sent.

C10 EnglishTown
would like to play again this season.

Captain: Jonathan

Had to withdraw from Notre Dame due to computer issues.

My last event remaining is Pokerface; I am in the semi-finals.

If a silver medal can ever be a disappointment, this was it: I was leading the event going into the final match and just needed to win or tie either SJ or SP to get the gold medal.  I ended up losing both and falling into the silver medal.

And I don't want to talk about what happened in backgammon.

Didn't do anything in Verflixxt, but did advance again in Lucky Star, Pokerface, and Backgammon.  I am still in the VSL event as well.

(Edit: advanced in VSL, too )

Have advanced to the 2nd round in four of my floating events (Lucky Star, Pokerface, Backgammon, VSL)

Other than that, not much.  Did nothing in Tierischer 6er, ended up 9th in KuK, lost my first round SP match 0-3; those were the three events I medaled in last year.  Also, didn't make the second stage of TuT.

To start off:  I qualified for all 11 of my events (granted, I auto-qualified for eight of them)

Please post your results from the BSWS in this thread.

Good luck to everyone, let's win a lot of medals!


Medals won:

San Petersburg (Holy Towns)  Jonathan - Silver
Notre Dame  Xevoc - Silver
Notre Dame  Raphaell - Bronze
Funkenschlag  Xevoc - Silver
Pokerface  Jonathan - Silver

The BSW Masters is a separate tournament, it is not part of the BSWS.  The website for the BSW masters is here: http://keule.bloodymary-bsw.de/masters/index.php?id=0&lang=en

The BSW masters consists of all floating events.

Grats!  Good job, dave and Raphaell!!!

City cup:  EnglishTown - RealityTown

Tichu:  Jonathan/gunff - Farmy/Goldfinger*  325-1075

We didn't get the cards, sorry 

A season full of second place.

Signed myself up for the eight I am definitely in for:

Backgammon, St. Pete, Pokerface, Lucky Star, VSL, Tierischer 6er, KuK, TuT

I may add more later.

[EVENTS]

BSW is hosting an olympic-style tournament again this year, with 52 different events taking place, called the BSW Games (BSW Spiele).  In the past, they have given out board game prizes to all medalists; I don't see this being advertised anywhere, yet.  I'll update when I find out if it is happening this year.

Please review the following pages:

Homepage
Rules for participants - Important!
Overview of tournaments, including times and modes

Your mayor needs to sign you up for any events you wish to play in, so please post in this thread with the events you wish to sign up for.  We can have 3 participants in each tournament*, and one team in each team-tournament.  If more people sign up for a tournament, we will need to run some qualifying games, so please sign up by February 7.  After that date, any event that is full will be closed to new entrants (though, feel free to sign up for one anyway; someone may withdraw).  The final deadline for signing up is February 24; please note that if you wait until the last minute, I may not see the message in time to sign you up on the BSW website.  So, don't wait until the last minute.

Some events may require preliminary qualification; these will run between March 3 and March 23.  For fixed events they should be on the same day of the week as the actual tournament.

IMPORTANT: All times listed will be CET; that is the time in Germany.  Note that Daylight Saving Time in the US begins on March 9, but in Europe begins on March 30.  So CET is EST+5 between March 9 and March 29, and EST+6 on other dates.  Make sure you know when the events are in your own time zone.  If you need to set an appointment with another player, it is usually best to convert all times to CET.

* the following players may play in the following tournaments without using up one of our three spots.  They receive their own spot for winning a medal in that tournament last year:  Aethador - San Juan, Raphaell - Bluff, Jonathan - Tierischer 6er, KuK, Saint Petersburg
