Bouyed by the resounding success of the Utwig Urn the time is right for the next league. I present to you the Kohr-Ah Cup! This will surely be a gruelling examination of any admiral's worth. It will take more than 2 or 3 lucky wins to reach the final of this competition.

- Semi finals and final
- 2 points win, 1 point tie, 0 points loss
- Scores recorded - (points left after melee) e.g. 30-0 if you're left with a Kohr-Ah

Game rules
- Maximum 200 pts per fleet
- Maximum one of each ship type per fleet (no duplicates)
- Maximum 40 minutes per melee - Timed out games result in both players receiving a loss (an effort to nulify boring stalemates)
- You must have your team set up before melee - this prevents you adjusting your line-up to counter your opponents team!
As always everyone welcome

Well, time for another reminder. As above, the league will resume this coming Saturday (4pm NY time, 10pm Paris time). Even though we’re a couple of games into it you can still play if you’re not already – you will just have a bit of catching up to do over the next few weeks.
Hopefully I'll see some of you at #uqm-arena!

Always keen to have new folks along. You are pushing it to join the league but if you can be on the start line at 4pm New York time Saturday afternoon you can enter - you will just have a few games to catch up. The following week the league will take a break while I hold another knockout tournament.
EDIT: Oh I guess I better tell you where to go! There is an IRC Freenode Channel called#uqm-arena. That is where the action takes place. I go via Chatzilla, but you can also just go here: http://irc.uqm.stack.nl

AAAHHHHHH!!!!!! I can't believe that I missed this one! My wife had a baby and that took me out of the action for a little while! Damn kids! : )
Anyway, now I'm in the same boat as PurpleBridge. I'd love to be able to catch up, especially with some time until the next play date, but not sure how. Would I be able to catch up before the next date? Is that "legal"? Does anyone in the league currently even have time to play me before the next date? If so, please let me know. I'd very much appreciate it!

I don’t mind if you two get going on Saturday, but of course both of you guys plus Shiver are encouraged to make up games midweek if the opportunity arises. You would have to remember the score and report it to me on Saturday – or send me a forum message. I would imagine if you ‘frequent’ #uqm-arena you’ll run into someone in the league before then.
The best time would be the day before – same time (Friday pm for most of you). Usually the same guys are there then, including me.
Oh, congratulations by the way! (assuming you're the father...)

If folks are around Thursday or Friday, that's all good. If not, It will have to be Saturday. As long as everyone has at least three games under their belt by the end of Saturdays melees, I'm happy.
