i hate to disapoint you but:
in some games, both players will use almost all their timebank.
60 days PLUS 60 days,
there will be some time yet til the second round.

I'm through to round 2. My first round was group 3. Am I the only one who's convinced we'll still be playing in this tournament in 2006?! 😉

Well, I just finished up all my games today, final record 15-7. Right around where I thought I'd be.

I have exceeded my expectations....my remaining opponents seem to have given up so with 4 time out wins I will top Group 20.

Haven't checked but possibly the lowest ranked player going through.

Been playing shocking in some 'social' games lately so better sharpen up for the 2nd round or be very embarrassed.

Looking forward to it sometime in May i guess ?

I'm sure you won't be playing this tournament in 2006.

Wait, wait, wait... I'm not saying that you won't be at the final round.

60 days timebank for each player in each game, gives, at maximum, 120 days for each round.

3 rounds, first, second and final, gives, at maximum, 360 day of playing.

1 day for adjustment after first and second rounds, gives 362 days for the tournament.

The 2005 Championship has started on January, 3rd, plus 362 days of tournament, and we will have the Great Champion of 2005 at 31/12/2005, Saturday.

But, to accomplish that, Russ must be ready to start the final round, at worst case, on September, 2nd, Friday.

And I think that it's absolutely possible, all games ends with at least one player remaining timebank days. 😉

EDIT 1: Thinking about it, and considering that the top players must need some vacation days during the year, I think that Russ can set the second round start date and the final round start date, so, the top players can schedule their vacations time.

EDIT 2: 120 days after January 3rd will be on May, 3rd, Tuesday, but I'm sure that the round will be finished at least 2 weeks earlier, so the Monday in the week before May, 3rd, 25 of April, would be the optimum day for the second round start.

And 120 days after 25 of April will be on 23 of August, Tuesday too, so 22 of August, the Monday before, remembering that all games must end with at least a player remaining timebank, would be the optimum day for the final round start.

EDIT 3: This way, the 2005 Championship would be finished until 20 of December, yes, it's a Tuesday, right before Christmas.

EDIT 4: Perfect!!! 😀

EDIT 5: I'm sure Russ has thought about all of this when he setted the 0TO/60TB 2005 Championship... 😏

No you're not.

Cantspell (1476) in the Group 14 is, at this moment, the lowest ranked player going through to the 2005 Championship second round...
