That was one of the longest "I will do it" answer I ever saw. Though the adventure of slowly working through your posts and deciphering them is half the fun.
Thanks, for offering to the the OMO.
As for the Lottery for the OMO, I would think that any OMO would bring a competitive team and the recent rise in non-competative teams used by OMO is really because the TO ends up playing and is trying not to win his own tournament (unless you are JTB, of course). But, I will keep that idea in mind. |

i used goblins as odd man out in the last two deathbowls matey!
Not my fault no one could stop them 
(except pat)
I was always going to play in the CCRO (sic) so not an odd man out and thus no moral issue with winning the event |

Eric,
Given my current Blood Bowl performance (which has been even worse than usual!) I will offer to be an OMO. I should also be able to be of some assistance, given that I am familiar with the tourney software.
You can accept my offer, or go with Rod's lottery which involves reading tea leaves and consulting lunar schedules, yadda yadda yadda.... I would think though that if you are going to travel from out of town, that you would want to actually play (as Adam suggested). Very kind of you Rod, and if you are still keen on being the OMO, then you're welcome to it.
Laurent indicated that he would like to come, and I have also made contact with a noob player through BOMBBL who may or may not be joining us. |

Guys, if you want to make use of the software, go right ahead, but keep in mind that the tie-breakers are hard-coded in the software, so somebody (well, probably me) may need to change them for tourney. The CCKO and the Q'ermitt use slightly different tie-breakers.
The only other different between the Q'ermitt software and the CCKO software is the pitch related software for the Q'ermitt.
The number of rounds is hard-coded as well (6 rounds), so changes are required if the Canadian Open is not 6 rounds.
At any rate, if you need my assistance to make changes to the software, let me know. The sooner you tell me, the higher the likely-hood of me having the time to make the changes.
Unfortunately, I can't go to the Canadian Open this year. |

Hey Joe, how many people were involved in creating your roster for your Odd Man Out Gobbo's? One other point is you never played me directly in either Deathbowl or you would have surely lost  .
Spazz...of course you would offer your services as an OMO eh! Just so you can avoid playing me and finally rendering a decision in one of our games...which would of course be a loss for you!!! I guess that could be your exact reasoning behind it though as I know you are scared.
As for Clan Skaven's offer/author (as he likes to write books at 2am or 3am) deciphering those posts are definitely good reading material lol.
Take it easy,
Adam |

Gents,
Not to start war but I think I will take Spazz as the primary OMO only because he is local and is free to retreat back to the real world should he not be able to play.
As for the ranking program, I am planning on using a program that I had touted a year so ago that is used for Chess tournaments but no one even acknowledged. The tie breaker is still up in the air as I am hoping to use one that the chess community uses, but I am currently researching them to determine which is best suited for us. Sorry if this goes against what we have become accustomed to over the last few years, but this is really the only chance that I can see to test them in a BB tourney. I will provide an explanation of the tie breaker when I have decided on the process that I plan to use. |

Wait Eric,
I think you should take me as the OMO. Due to my health I want to be there but if you end up with odd numbers then I can sit out and rest up. This way anyone from out of town can still play and since it seems Spazz needs all the games to practice and get better ( look at his league stats eheheh ).
Let me know how you want to proceed.
Dan |

I second Dan's suggestion that Spazz needs all the games he can get to practice and get better!!!!! but not just because of his league stats.

Hey Eric. Looking forward to seeing that program of yours. Let me know once you have it all done, I'd like to see it (and maybe even steal ideas from it, with proper acknowledgements of course)  . |

Seems that my plan is working! Lure you into a false sense of security with my mediocre league play, and then dominate in the tournament scene! Prepare to feel the pain!!!  |
