Another CANCON down! As always, some great games played in the right spirit with a bunch of good people. A big thanks to Peter for taking the lead on organising it. I'd thank Dave for his spreadsheet black-magic scoring system, but he beat the tar out of me

I second Battledamage's comments.....a great couple of days played in the best spirit of the game. Really enjoyed meeting some new players and thanks to those that traveled so far - Kendell from NZ and Chris / Steve from Brissy particularly come to mind. Thanks too to the 'leadership team' of Peter, David and Marcus for their work in making it happen again. Cancon is just such a fun experience....see you all next year.

Cheers, Mark

Back in Armidale. I just want to echo the praises being lavished on the "Gang of Three" for their efforts in running a great tournament. Also, thanks to my opponents for providing excellent mental stimulation. And it was great playing 2 people that I haven't previosly met, Chris Humphreys and Kendall Blue.

Cheers,

Sorry for the delay

Between a crazed week at work - where I was called in on my Tuesday day off - and the fires, I haven't had the chance to put the results tables up on the various platforms. Ideally I will be able to over the weekend.

Take your time David, you worked had enough over the actual tournament. Thanks to you and the other members of the gang for an enjoyable weekend.

I am also in no hurry to receive the brutal confirmation that I (probably) finished dead last due to a combination of poor generalship, poor die rolling, and incompetence! However, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will be back next year.
