October 2004 wrap-up:
One of the best things about ACC Internet Cribbage is its geographical reach, and this Web site often publicizes the success of players from far-flung places such as Newfoundland, Wyoming and Saskatchewan, where there is little organized over-the-board cribbage. Participating in ACC Internet Cribbage has always been a great way to meet members from interesting places all over North America, and now we can add France to the mix.

Yes, for the first time, an ACC tournament has been won by a player sitting in Europe, as Andy Roland (muesli64), playing from La Croix Valmer in the French Riviera, won the Saturday, October 23 Pegging Pals single elimination event, the first such victory by a player not residing in the Western Hemisphere. Roland topped the 62 player field by prevailing over Hawaii's Elana Kobayashi (NinjaNin) in the Finals. The eleven-hour time difference between these two players connecting from opposite sides of the planet must have set another record for sanctioned cribbage. Globalization has truly come to the ACC.

While our tournaments are reaching farther and farther around the world, our Top Ten is spinning in place, with eight players, including the seven highest ranked ones, returning from last month's list. Mark Van Dyke (loosespokes1135) had one of his patented breakout months, winning one tournament and reaching the Semifinals in two others to take the lead with 360 Internet Rating Points (IRPs). John Schafer (netview85) of Battle Creek, MI is right behind him with 342 IRPs. Scott Buhrow (MrB_IA218) of Louisville, KY rounds out the 300 club with 323 IRPs.

Ronald Ralston (rdr1231) of Hartford, IA and Kelly Ann Burgar (lil_thummper) of Edmonton, AB are the newcomers in the Top Ten, with Rodgers, Allen, Fetchel, Partain and Olney retaining their honor from September. All are quality players that always seem to be in the Internet Championship race.

ACC Internet Cribbage is fun, and more challenging than you may think! Tournaments are held in a variety of formats and are hosted by MSN Games at zone.com. See here for details on how to join us. Your next opponent could be from Hawaii, Canada or France!
