Yes please! I don't fuck with the old photoshop much these days but I reckon I can still play a good hand. I'll probably need messaging when the time actually comes as I'm not on here all that much and will likely forget.

Paul Calf

Yesssssss! Nags is in!

Watch me draw him in Round 1....it's inevitable now.

Ferris

I'm keeping my powder dry for Deso-Quest 2018, but will be an enthusiastic supporter from the sidelines.

Yeah, I'll probably just message everyone whenever a draw is made. I didn't do that last year and some people inevitably forgot.

Nice to see the likes of waspy and nagsworth joining in again. Should be a good year!

Dex Sawash

Shaping up nicely, another year I won't have to print, cut, tape together, re-photograph and upload a wrong to make up the numbers. Well done competents.

ziggy starbucks

I've lost all my juice. I'm creatively dead.

but I'm in!

Crabwalk

I've not made a photoshop image for about 3 years and I don't have time for such frivolity any more.

I'm also in.

Yeah when is that happening this year? Keen to do this after last year's disappointment.

Just going to bump this every day or so until Sunday. We've got good numbers, but we'd love more to join in.

Fry

Fuck it I actually have the time this year, go on then.

Me join. I will represent England in the tournament and do them proud. And I will pick my strongest 11.

Fry

Shit wait, I just realised I'm going to be on holiday during it and won't be able to play. Sorry.

When do these shenanigans get underway?

I'll post the draw Sunday evening. Around 5pm BST.


This is who we've got so far:

Paul Calf
baptist
Small Man Big Horse
MoonDust
kittens
poo
Poisson Du Jour
Cerys
hedgehog90
newbridge
Absorb the anus burn
hummingofevil
Ian Drunken Smurf
madhair60
Spoon of Ploff
wasp_f15ting
alan nagsworth
ziggy starbucks
Crabwalk
rue the polywhirl

That's 20 people. If we end up with an odd number of participants, I'll throw myself into the mix as well so everyone gets a match.

selectivememory

One more day to sign up. Draw is tomorrow evening.

MoonDust

Can you remind us how it's decided who serves the first shot?

Is it based on the order of the names?

Like, if it's X vs Y, then X serves first. And if it's Y vs X, then Y serves first?

Pdine

I'll do it, if sign ups are still allowed...

Yep, you're fine. We'll close sign-ups at 4pm today.

selectivememory

Still time to sign up...

seepage

Zero experience but wondering if I'd manage it, but can't do anything before the 4th. Perhaps I'll play with myself instead and guess how I might have fared with a real partner.

That won't be a problem if you're not drawn to serve.

Shall I put you on the list? Don't worry about lack of experience. It's all a bit of fun anyway.

seepage

OK then, yes please. I assume 'cos 'S' is towards the end of the alphabet I should go second?

It's a random draw, and whoever is named first in each tie serves.

But I was thinking that because MoonDust can't play for a few days from the 5th, you two can play each other. So, he posts a serve by the 4th, and then you'll have three days to respond, which should leave him plenty of time to pick up the match when he's available again.

That won't be unfair to anyone else in the draw, and it won't disrupt the progress of the round.
