Our First Fan

If you check the comments section of the "Participant Pool" posting, you'll see a note from someone named "donna." Apparently "donna" is ready to get this thing started! I am, too.

Teams will be posted this afternoon!

Schedules will be posted tomorrow!

Games will start in earnest on Monday!

Let's go!

And let's give a warm welcome to "donna." We're glad to have you aboard.

Two New Players!

Please welcome Davy Wentworth and Jim Meyer to the tournament. No, really. You should welcome them. They have very graciously joined for the sole purpose of rounding out the field to twelve teams, instead of the uneven eleven. They have admitted their lack of pong expertise up front and are entering purely altruistically.

Well done, gents. Thank you.

Cub Photographer Appointed

Based on his stellar work during last year's tournament, our own Eric Marko has been named Official Photographer of Tippett Studio Pong Tournament 2006. Hail, hail!

For those of you who don't know Marko, you need know only one thing: Marko is often referred to as the new Telly Savalas, because like Telly, whatever Marko wants, Marko gets.

Who loves you, baby?

Twenty-two entrants, 11 teams. I can't wait to attempt to wrestle a bracket out of 11 teams. That's going to be fun.

Teams will be randomly chosen and posted very shortly. Stand by. Continue working, of course, but just be ready. You don't have to keep refreshing this site all day. That would be silly.

Thanks to all who are participating. It's going to be a hoot.
