well we might not win the tourney but i'm pretty sure we've got the terrible pun market cornered.

[flexmaster33]

Yep, I can really "quack" people up...oh my, someone please stop me

[vykingsfan64]

Stop it, or I'll have to put some Duck tape over your mouth.

Quick question about the triple jump Flex. It's based on a single best score for each competitor right? So assuming I keep kicking butt this first game, I shouldn't worry too much about the other 2 preliminary matches, in the hope that my "mark" from the first match will be good enough to advance?

[flexmaster33]

Correct...your single best mark from the three prelim maps is what sends you into the finals (top-10) for three more chances.

The final placing is based on your best effort among the six total maps (jumps)

We're getting close to finals in the 400 relay and 100-meter dash...new events to go out shortly.

well that's even better news.

apparently I had better "ups" then I expected, posting a dominating jump in the triple jump that I hope will at least send me into the next round: http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=5281350

[flexmaster33]

The prelims for the 1,500 have gone out....400 prelims will start tonight

Also, the finalists for the 400-meter relay have been decided and the gun has gone off for the championship race in that event.

We're starting up finals in several events now, so the Scoreboard will go up in a few days...LSU is off to a big start with two advancing in the 100-meter dash (Natewolfman and poptart)...the Tigers are also in the finals for the 400-meter relay...bunch of sprinters in Baton Rouge!!!

In the pole vault we have four eliminated with the bar about ready to move up to its third height of 15 feet. Seven competitors have gone through without a miss so far.

Game 5281354 completed.

Can't wait to see my results... plash.ricrem has been enjoying his jump a little too much and I want to see if I can knock him down a few rungs.

[flexmaster33]

Still a couple ongoing jumps...but I'll try to post updates tonight and get jump #2 out.

Plash.Ricrem keeps vaulting like its his job, clearing 15" with relative ease (5365237) When asked about Andir's solid triple jump, Ricrem noted it was a good effort but, "Seriously, who takes 20 rounds to finish the job? The regulations dealing with games that end after 15 rounds should hopefully put a damper on his enthusiasm a bit."

Andir was overheard talking to a teammate about plash.ricrem's interview, "When someone gives me 15 steps to build up speed for the jump, I'm going to take them. There's no need to jump after taking only 10. Besides getting the extra length for outpacing the rest of my opponents, I had five extra steps to gain some speed for the final measure."

You do raise a fine point. Judging from an initial glance at your jump, it looks like I should have taken a couple of more steps (rounds) to finish the job. Hopefully i'll get another chance to work on that in my future jumps.

400-meter prelims going out in the morning...

welcome Johnny Rico to the tournament...taking over for ZBXC2014 on the Florida State team.

That's the end of the reserves list...so captains will have to recruit or forfeit if their teams have future deadbeats (I know...it stinks)...I'll put out a thread recruiting new reserves as well.

[danryan]

I'll reserve if you need me.

400-meter prelims going out in the morning...

In a somewhat surprising result, usually lead legged Plash.Ricrem wins his first prelim race by turning it on the final 100 meters (back to back turn mixed sets) to secure the victory.
