Are you still playing the tournament, or has it ceased to exist? (I hadn't heard of it till now.) Reply #1. Jan 21 12, 12:01 PM |

I didn't know it existed, don't know why it's stopping, and still don't know what it is or where it is. Not much point trying to find out now, is there? Reply #5. Jan 22 12, 6:44 PM |

I hope it's not closing, I like to get my fix of beating the Americans. Even if Jules44 is the one who actually wins - hey, I'm behind her, okay? Some way behind but who's counting? And to answer your question, Lesley, the war between the UK&Commonwealth and USA is fought across four daily tournaments - at the end of every month the scores for each battle are totted up, computed, and analysed. For the past seven months the UK&Commonwealth have won the battles and the overall war. Some of the best players on FT participate and a few of the rest of us tag along for the ride. It's fun. But now the webserver that hosts the number-crunching is closing down so it looks like the war may be over - and I may never be called an Invincible again! *sniff* Reply #6. Jan 22 12, 7:10 PM |

Thanks, Flopsy. Where are these tournaments - are they games we all play without realising that we're part of a greater plan, or is it something that only the great and the good of the FT are party to? Either I haven't been looking in the right places or it's a well-kept secret. You wouldn't think I'd been here five years. Reply #7. Jan 22 12, 7:29 PM |

Part of the private tournaments Lesley. http://www.funtrivia.com/tournament/The-UK-Versus-USA--Challenge-73612.html Sad - and it's been such a great 'grudge match'. Reply #8. Jan 22 12, 8:02 PM |

Thanks, MH. It's just a "private tournament" with frills - why is it ending? And why didn't I know it existed till it was about to die? *rhetorical question* Reply #10. Jan 22 12, 8:07 PM |

I suffer from 'sympathetic retching' DG so if you're going to be sick watch out - I may be sick right back atcha. :) Reply #12. Jan 23 12, 7:29 AM |

“why didn't I know it existed till it was about to die?” That’s like me and the real blogs (different, I know, and yet…) Reply #16. Jan 25 12, 10:21 AM |

I'm very curious...is this a tournament that was announced for all FT players? Where would I find an announcement like that (in case there's something similar in the future)? I'm glad everyone's had a great time with it. :) Reply #20. Jan 26 12, 2:19 PM |
