so far the ladder is off to a flying start with a few more entrants coming into it.

Currently the game challenges that have been made are

jazzba challenged Oregon Woman
donnye challenged dustbunnyrob
Oregon Woman challenged Purple Mist
haggis muncher challenged cathM
Purple Mist challenged Purplerose
DJ challenged paully
Jillette challenged gogdog
francheska challenged Jillette
dustbunnyrob challenged DJ

There have been no finished matches yet so everyone is still on the first rung.
This means that if you decide you want to join the ladder now, you are more than welcome and you will be starting at the same level as everyone else.

We have our first completed ladder match. jazzba was kind enough to report to me losing to Oregon Woman so Oregon Woman rises up the ladder 1 rung.

For progress, follow the link in the preceding message.

People are starting to climb now and I expect many more challenge matches are almost completed.
Oregon Woman is undefeated winning her first 2 matches and jumped ahead of the field by 2 rungs but this morning, dustbunnyrob climbed to within one rung of her with a gritty win over donnye (actually I cant see the matches so I have no idea if the win was gritty or not, but it sounds like something you would hear them say on the sports channel anyway)

If anyone else would like to participate here is the complex process required to sign up.
1. Send me a message to request signing up (end of instructions)

Good luck to the current ladder climbers and I have my fingers crossed that more will join.

May we post on this thread?

If so Thankyou Paully for a valiant fight, a good example to all that think attack is everything. I have never been good at the backing game but you certainly taught me how to think that way. Please check the game out, I was certain to loose but then as they say 'It's never over untill the fat lady sings'

Great game Paul, a real cliff hanger untill the very end.

Let's do it again sometime.

yes it was a great game. You were totally dominating me but I had a strong back game set up and I "got you" That put me into a position where, at a guess, my chance of winning was probably about 90%. But alas, the beauty of probability is that it ALWAYS evens out. Not always in the same game but in this one it did. You made a great comeback, took the ascendancy and rolled me.

It was most definitely one of those games you remember for a long time. Well done. It made Will happy too. It put him on top of the ladder !!!!!!!
