League Session number 44 is Open

The new session 44 is open and will end on the 28th of December.

Session 43 is now closed. And we have a big trouble this session to tie the first 4 in Pool B Master.

kristoffer, beofr, otto and BluNick have the same points, the same tie and except beofr who has beat the 3 others, the last three have won one match vs each other...

So, I think first to qualify beofr and the player with the biggest master points, but finaly decide to make an extra match to qualify the 2 players who will do the play-offs.

----------- ---- ------------
Walfinho vs beofr who beat otto in a 9Pts Match
BushSucks vs kristoffer who beat BluNick in a 9 Pts Match

Team Match : FIBS - GAMMONZONE

We will organize a Match versus 2 of the best Free Online Tournament : GAMMONZONE and FIBS

After reflections with some others players and contact with GammonZone. We finally reach to this concept :

A team of five players from each server + two next reserved (in case of illness, no show, computer trouble etc.)
5 fibs players playing vs 5 GZ players at FIBS one day, in 9 Pts matchs (one match at a time for the watchers)
5 fibs players playing vs 5 GZ players at GAMMONZONE another day (3 months later, less or more ...), in 9 Pts matchs also.

Started at five in the afternoon, European time, perhaps on a Sunday, it would make it possible for Europeens and Americans to watch and play


The FIBS TEAM has been elected with vote as follow :

- dorbel
- gumpi
- zorba
- roadkillbooks
- TheCube

With elmicho and schigolch as joker, and me as super joker.


We now try to play this first match one sunday in september.

Sunday September 13th for the first round if everybody is ok with match starting every hour
from 3PM to 7PM GMT/UTC

We also decide by random if the first match would be play at fibs or Gammonzone.

You will keep informed as soon it would be definitive...

Second Fibs Masters Championship is now Open

Paul_William has lost his last chance to get in the final Bracket with the twelve best players for the Fibs Masters Championship, by losing his first round against dorbel in the last 2008 play-off. (He's the thirteenth with 103 point just behind funny who has got 104 points).

Points for the second play-off between juggler and factotum can only change the ranking of the third and fourth place.

So the second Fibs Masters Championship is now Open. Best luck to the players.

Match format for all rounds is best of three 9 pointers.
