Hi EWQM.,

I know why Stephan was not taking part in T7 and T8...
During T7, I was absent due to holidays, and was away from any Nonosweeper PC, so I couldn't play that T.
I returned on Wednesday, but didn't have much time to play T8. As I both hate medium density boards and didn't have luck in finishing any board within half an hour, I decided to give up season 28, and to re-enter Nono Ts in season 29!

ouch!!
I messed that up big time - this really should have been a 1.1x but I missed a square and had to go back to it to end up with a 1.41 - well, T1 is not over yet and I can still decide if I prefer to watch Serbia-Austria or to keep on playing Smiley

Hi tournament participants,
due to database problems, Yariv had to restart S29_T8! The T8 board is a 20x4/23 grid. So, if you downloaded your current tournament info yesterday (i.e. at a time where the problems weren't solved), you should just update the current T info now in order to play the correct board.

@EWQMinesweeper: I've been away the final weekend of T5, and I just couldn't get to the internet in time to upload the 4.18 I got which would have won me the tournament. So it strikes all of us once in a while (maybe I will relagate as well, just because of this). As long as you keep enjoying the game it doesn't matter if you spend a season in Div2.
I retired from competing a long time ago. I play boards only seriously if I like them (and there are way too few really nice tourny boards). Avarage boards I just play once or twice a week and I don't really care how many points they earn me. And I'm not interested in ugly boards. If that's enough for staying up... fine, if not... fine as well.
So don't be angry or frustrated - that's not what the game is made for.

Hi EWQM.,
of course, this is not the way one wants to relegate. But in fact, season 29 would have been closed after 7 tournaments, and this wouldn't have been fair as well for every player who hoped for a good T8. I didn't know that Yariv has to start a new T8 board when repairing the database, and I did my best to inform all the players.

So, maybe just take the chance to tie Luca's record of winning all 8 Ts in division 2 within a season.

Btw, as the relegated players were a German one (EWQM.) and a sup-30-aged (Nikolaj), I (German sup-30-aged) don't appreciate these relegations very much...

@stephan and christoph: of course i'll stick to nono  Wink

Oh well, it had to come sooner or later Smiley

I guess wedding preparations stole most of my free time + as Christoph said this season we didn't have many nice boards - e.g. I hate extreme rectangles - we had 4 boards + the 3x8/12 mines one. I must say I really enjoyed this season Tongue

This season 30 starts with pretty much the only kind of NFing board I like, but luck seems to doesn't like me on it: I just got almost in a row this 6.42 and then LCs on 6.24, 4.87 and 5.99 before I got another 6.56 and 7.01. And now my playing time for this week is almost over Sad

I wonder if s30 will get similary interesting to s29 where the religation players from Div1 cummulated 39 points - 10 points more then ever bevore.
It already looks likely, that Div 4 will survive this s30 - I somehow hope that it can establish itself for longer this time Smiley

I really hate such random boards like this S30 T4!
I mean, I like long rectangles - but this one is just random as it is almost guaranteed that some players get really easy boards and some not. I got only one easy board where I could clear the top row in the beginning and died on a guess at the very end - it would have been about a 28 and would probably have (very undeserved) won me that T.
I mean quite big boards are ok because nobody gets lucky, smallish and small boards are ok because everybody gets lucky - but I hate this midrange randomness! Smiley
However, I don't think that too many here will share this oppinion such that it doesn't make too much sense to try to do something against. :|

@Christoph: I generally agree. I was quite shocked when I saw Gabi's time of 36 submitted on sunday while I hang at high 40s. It is well known that on such boards you can have very easy ones.
Nonetheless, I wouldn't do anything against long rectangle boards. In long-run statistics, most Ts ended with wins of hexx or Maruda, on nearly every type of board.
