ACC Internet Cribbage

The greatest, most understanding players in the world

September 2005 wrap-up:
Scott Buhrow (MrB_IA218) of Louisville, turned in a 162 IRPs month, including one victory, to reach first place in our 2005–6 standings. Mark Van Dyke (loosespokes1135) of Grand Haven, MI holds up second place, after finally ending his 11-month streak atop the Top Ten list, including the 2005–6 Internet Championship. Right behind him is veteran John Schafer (netview85) of Battle Creek, MI.

Yes it's football season, but you can still watch and play ACC Internet Cribbage:
September saw the ACC's first Sunday afternoon Internet tournaments. These are already starting to attract players whose schedules make it difficult to join our Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday events. Appropriately enough, First Place in each of the two Sunday tourneys went to first-time winners: Richard Winfield (rick98205) of Everett, WA and Bob Bousquet (tinsmith_2) of Palmer, MA. Other first-time winners this month were Harold Hilbert (hhilbert46) of Beaumont, CA, Donald Dutcher (dutchd2) of Monmouth, OR and John Dellarsina (ginprofessor3) of El Cajon, CA (though John is only our second winner from El Cajon). Congrats to you all.

TD's corner:
Don Ellis (+_LoneStar__), our Internet Statistician and frequent tournament director, writes:

"Just had to share with you how wonderful all the players were in the August 20 tourney. Midway through the first round, my mouse decided to quit on me. Undaunted, I continued with the tourney. Took a bit longer tabbing back and forth between windows, but all was well until my font in the lobby changed. Thankfully, another Pegging Pals host (in player nick) was in there and was 'translating' the assignments while I first got Karen Peake (+Lady_Amber), and then Annie Poppe (+Clas_syLady), on the phone to work through the tourney with me.

"All in all, everyone was so patient. I was unable to message any of the players or to scroll the room to check the tables, but everyone helped out. As I was unable to scroll, I closed the post table so had everyone post in the lobby.

"Just another reason why I do the ACC tournaments almost exclusively — the greatest, most understanding players in the world!"
