Intermezzo: TL?

I saw OsaridSaris wondering whether we should try blindfolded Teamleague again, so I'll add this extra post in case you want to share some opinions on it. Here's mine:
I'd still be glad to blend in with the regular guys, not necessarily teaming up with other blind accounts even. It'd be quite a disadvantage like this, so I don't really see how that'd be bothering others (but I feel somehow it does).
Also I think going for a complete blindfolded section is definitally too early. There's simply not enough people that want to make this kind of commitment at this point and others are not even able or allowed (I do agree with the 20 games minimum of the TL guys). And honestly, even 3 teams will in my opinion not suffise for any decent competition.
Apart from that I should also mention I will probably not compete in any TL for a while, blindfolded or not. I do however intend to run more tournaments like this one, after a break of a couple of months. More updates will follow on this blog, I'd say BB #2 will start Friday Oct 8 for now.

Round 4

It would seem jones and thehippo have not done the greatest job in getting their round 3 game scheduled. I'm willing to give them the rest of the weekend to play the game, so this will probably result in a delay of +- 2 days. Please try to work out things a bit faster in the future - I'd like to avoid setting draws as much as possible.
As a reminder, the fifth (and last round) is scheduled to start June 18 - or, if necessary, a couple of days later. It is only fair we get a full 2 weeks to play the games.
Those that want to request a bye for round 4 should probably inform me by tomorrow (Sat) 13:00, as I will try to post the pairings as soon as I see a result for the remaining game.

Long story short ... I've set a draw and here are the current pairings:

BlindBoedi (3.5) 1/2-1/2 BlindMaras (3.0)
Blindpchesso (2.0) 0-1 Blindcrazyblue (3.5)
FeSfWBlind (2.5) 1-0 Blindthehippo (1.5)
Blinddrinkeh (1.5) - Blindsangalla (1.0)
jonesBlind (2.0) 1-0 BlindOsaridSaris (0.0)


Bye(R): BlindThingummywut (1.5)
